Won Ball Game from Brook.

The Wrens succeeded in getting the Friday SSO ball game from Brook, but 1c required ten innings to do it Dobbins pitched good ball again and Bachant caught perfectly. Only five clean hits were made by the Brookites, one of these being a home run by Corbet, the pitcher. Spencer, the Wrens’ right fielder, played good and Had in spots. He made errors that let in three or four runs,‘and then batted in with two doubles and one single, three of the runs the Wrens made. And at another time made a good stop and throw from right field that cut off a run at the plate. Morgan made a long hit that almost cleared the left field fence, but it was fielded so quickly that he only got two sacks for it. A more extended account of the game will be given Monday. The final score was 7 to 6, the winning run being made in the 10th session by Swartellz, who reached Ist on a hit and scored on a right field drive by Morgan, which Wlckwire let get away from him. Joe Hammond, of Remington, was the umpire. The Wrens disbanded for the season Friday night, as Dobbins and McCarthy are to re-snter college within the next ten da ya
