toain of that place. S—_
Although the weather was very
tbrp4teuiug in the sun
came out after dinner and'the after
noon was a fairly good one. The
game was called at 3:15 p. m. with
the visiting team at tbe bat. Both
si«les were shut out in the fiist in
ning and the iudicatious from tbe
begiuuiug were that it wonld be a
•jlose gauje.
Iu th» second inning Fowdeu
crossed the rubber for WiUiamston.
Iu the third Hooker did the same
for Hamilton. In the fifth Jobuson
scored for Hamilton,and in tbe sixth
H. l'eel tied tbe score. In tbe eiglitb
Fowden, J. E. Moore, Roberaon and
H||asell scored for WiUiamston, and
Burnhill for the locals.
J E Moore was in the bo? for tbe
visitors and be proved a regular
"Chinese" puulc for llamilton,stnk
ing oat twelve men. There were
only one or two aerateh hits made
off bim; not a single ball being bat
ted to the outfield. The playing of
tbeinfieid for Williamson was ai.
tofyishiug, and the batting was
bard and oftgn,
The locals were not in practioe,
and bad tbey been, w|th two or
three ezeeptioaa, Uiey would have
been a match for Wißiamstou's first
team, ta sias.
Tbe two doable plays by Hooker,
ss, — rar- second Ipse and

and woald have deae eredit' to much
