Ilurd lilt ting- and Snappy fielding: ar Feature Other Games. HURSDAY afternoon's ball game between the Village and Carolina teams, was without question, the fastest of the season, the Village aggregation winning 4 and 2, in a con test replete with hard hitting and fast fielding on both sides. The Village team, however, outbatted their ... opponents, landing for three two-baggers one after the other, in, the sixth inning, which was a little too fast going for the "hill" ag gregation. Eastman occupied the box for the Vil lage and he kept the hits well scattered, being touched for five singles and a two bagger. Gleason did the twirling for the losers, pitching a pretty game, the ball being found for seven hits only, but these happened to come well bunched, causing the loss of the game, for it was, unquestionably, a pitchers battle from start to finish., , . , Fitzgerald wore the mitt for the win ning team, and he had a wing like, a hawk, throwing to bases with ease and accuracy, making base stealing some what of an uncertain undertaking, only one base being gained in this way. De- Rohn held the home plate down for The Carolinas,, and worked hard for a win, but was up against rather hard luck at times. The bright and particular fielding star of the afternoon was Lynch, the Village shortstop, and Jack Slattery , carried off the honors for heavy stick work. Nonis' batting was the feature of The Carolina's game, as in Tuesday's play and "Cy" Young amused the crowd by his vain en deavors to hit the ball ; Gleason striking him out in three successive appearances' at the bat. The Carolinas drew first blood in their half of the first inning, Smith getting his base on balls and scoring on Norris' red hot liner to right. The second run came in the seventh inning on a single by Finnegan and a fine two-base drive to centre by Norris. i The Village nine evened the score in the second,, Young getting his base on balls and making the plate on Morris' single to deep right. Two more runs (Concluded on page 12.)
