when Brunswick scored five inns, was
n very pretty one, bora sides putting
up an excellent game, and only two
inns were made during tin: balance of
17io game.

at the Fitzgerald pitahu in great
shape. Nightengale was the first man
up and singled; Crovatt went out at
first; Lopez singled, and Nightengale
went to second. Hopkins followed will:
a single, scoring Nigmengale. Ab
bott came up and went to first. With
three men on bases Walker went to
the bat and landed to left, bringing
iu all three men on bases, lie also
scored on a long fly to rigiu by Hoyt.
The next man up went out at urst, re
tiring the side.
This ended the run making until
the fifth inning, when another was
made by the locals, who also scored
again in the seventh.
The visitors played a very good
game, but Walker proved somewhat of
a puzzler, and they could not get nos
when they were most, neeuea. In the
second inning it. looked like Fitzgerald
would score. Two men were on bases,
one on third ana one on second. w..j
nobody out, but Walker settled down
and struck out the next three men up.
The game was a very fast one, being
played in an hour and twenty minutes.
Both the pitchers receive.* excellent
support, only fo"r errors being made
in the game.
Turner, the Fitzgerald catcher, met
with an accident in the first Inning
an.l was compelleu to retire from Iho
game. In catching the .all at the
home plate one of his fingers were
