Athletics Win Sunday’s Ball Game.

The Riverview baseball club of Lafayette put up a spirited argument with the Athletics at Riverside park Sunday afternoon, but hit the rattler home a sader but wiser bunch, being taken into camp by a 6 to 5 score. The locals pushed four runs over the pan in the first, but after that the Riverview twirler tightened up and only two more were scored, a home run iq the sixth with one on the path, cinching the game. “Dad” Swartzell umpired on the mound and gave the best exhibition of umpiring seen here in a long time, something which has been decidedly lacking in the past. Sunday’s crowd was a fair one and from the brand of ball the boys are putting up they will do doubt be more generously supported in the future.
