Red Sox Swat Dodger Hurters in 8 to 5 Win.

About twenty-five from this city attended the baseball game at Stuart Field, Puifiue University, Wednesday between Brooklyn of the National League and Boston of the American League. The American league champs won the game, which wais listless and simply a workout for the fielders, by x a score of Bto 5. Extra basehits were frequent and there was little to stir up the enthusiasm of the crowd. Second taring hurlers were used by both clubs and they did not extend themselves in the least. Robbie used three .men on the hill and Jack Barry trotted out two slabmen. The vote of the Lafayette people iiyregard to slabmen was totally ignored and not a pitcher the fans wanted to see in action was used. Tilly Walker, Boston outfielder, was the stellar light of the day? He had no lees than eight putouts in the field and dumped a pair of the Brooklyn hurler’s offerirtga into the left field bleachers for three base hits. Practical!y all of the stars on the two clubs were on hand and this feature was aboqt the only return the fans got for their money. FoHowingfhe game the two clubs left for Indianapolis, where they wind up their spring series today.
