Neither team scored in the first; but in the second, it was different. D. Caldwell let two men get on, and then he slammed the ball over right center. It was an awful clout and seemed to be rising when it cleared the distant wall. The tongue of the boy who retrieved it was badly sunbnmed. Rev. Chas. O. Miller. Mr. Charles O.
