Another fact mu*t have bten apparent even to the casual ob- server, vi., that Flesherton can put a ?rand team of picked players in the field, for contesting came* with outside clubs. We might right here suggest that the following gentlemen take the field against any team in flrey : Will Clark, pitcher. Will Yokes, catcher. f. J. Leitch. short stop. R. J Hannah, lit base. J. O.

But to return to our game : The match on Fridi by some very heavv hatting, fielding, and nn lens than tw.i double plsrsnne on each side. The batten- on both sides was strong. Seven inninir* were plaved u previously arranged, a), though the regulation nine, pould easilv have been plaveH within three hours from the start, which latter fact gives a good idea of the ability of nur home nine* of | amateur base bailer*.
