It was a great game and was exciting from start to finish, and before the game had gone very far the fans realized that the Hartford City team could play ball and that the Rosenthals would be forced to exert themselves to the limit to win. But the Rosenthals were there with the goods and the result is that our dean record is still un broken and it will take a fast team to break it. It was the thirteenth game, and giave fears had I been expressed by the superstitious j that this would be the game that the locals would fall down on, but in stead of being unlucky it was the lucky game, and Hartford City was forced to content themselves i with the small end of the score. Railing and Coons were the opposing pitchers, and it was a red hot battle between them, with honors evenly divided as to hits. Railing however bested his opponent by putting a win to his credit. In the

tirst inning Hartford City went out in one. two three order, repeating the dose in the second and third innings, but in the fourth by clean hitting and good base running ooup'ed with an error they put two runs across the plate, but the remainder of the game they were never dangerous. For two innings the Rosenthals were blanked, But in the third after Peterson had gone out, O. France got a base on I balls, stole second and flew out. B France responded with a screami ing single and O. France brought the first run across the plate. ; Nothing more was doing until the sixth inning when Touhey got a base on balls. Pennington hit to ‘ right center for two bases, Touhey going to third Coffee hit to second

base and reached first saf.My, on an error Farrel struck out. Peterson fouled out to the catcher and with two out and the bases full O. France hit a fast driye down across first base and three scores crossed the plate, France being caught by the catcher trying to get home. This hit caused a little argument, but Umpire Knoff was right and the Hartford City team resumed play. No more scoring was done The game abounded with sensational fielding, the feature undoubtedly being tbe throwing of Pennington to second, he catching three men who tried to pilfer that bag.
