256 TH E HOBART HERALD. a stronger team. Davis pitched a good game ancl easily held down the visi tors a t critical moments. The score: M a y 18. A particularly gloomy and threatening day thinned the crowd at to-day’s game. A n d a rain on the night before had put the grounds in anything but a serviceable condition. However the liberal application of sawdust enabled the game to be begun. 'That is to say, Union began to play ball and Hobart to fill positions in the field. T h e y certainly did nothing more than this, with one or two notable exceptions. It is rather difficult to point out ju s t what was the trouble. T h e fact is it was in every department o f the game. T h e batting weak as u s u a l; the base running exceptionally stupid and the fielding of the school-boy order. T h e error column does not indicate the lack of knowledge so liberally displayed, for the reason that the fielders would not even get their hands on the ball, and when they did would stand holding it with an “ How-can-I-bear-to-leave-thee ’ ’ manner, that was simply maddening.

The game to-day w a s stopped at the end of the sixth inning on account o f rain, the last two innings having been played in a drizzle. T h e visitors made tw o runs in the first. Cregan w a s hit by a pitched ball, advanced to third on Enders’ single and scored 011 a passed ball. Enders advanced to third on the passed ball and scored on Howard’s sacrifice.

Beattie, Murphy and Ren w ick scored three more runs for Union in the sixth, on singles by themselves, Fisher’s out and Cregan’s single. Hobart’s run was made in the sixth, M ar tin making a single and scoring on Case’s fine two-base h it to left.
