Northern Hotel batted Cashier Thomp son, the pitcher of the Columbia Hotel boarders, for 20 runs. Murry Archer was put in the box for the other side and kept the score down to 16. Wonderful feats in the way of fielding, base running as well as getting hit with the ball gave entertainment to the orowd. With the exception of catehertthe line up of both teamB was striotly non-professional. They went to bat in the following order: GT.

The two teams put up a gilt edge though not altogether errorless game, still the score was kept down to 3 to 4, of which the benedicts captured the big end. Jabe Souch pitched for the victors with Joe Kelly behind the bat. The singlemen had Hayes and Jack Crawford as their battery. That no scores were tallied until the second innings shows that both sides were attending to business all the time. It is a long time since such an interesting game was put up and shows that some cf the old "has beens" have not yet retired to the bench. Tonight the benedicts will undertake to "shut out" the Langdon juniors.
