Notes of the Game.

Kevin accepted twelve chances with two errors at the third station, several of them being very difficult. Parks’ peg from deep center, cutting the runner off at the plate, was certainly of the Fielder Jones’ variety. “Pa” Swartzell played a gilt-edge game at the initial bag. His catch of

a foul fly in the first was certainly great. McLain and Hanks were the pill hitters. Mac securing three hits, five times up, one of them going for two bases. It looked like a big day in Oxford when Rensselaer’s twenty-odd machines rolled into town filled with the faithful. This makes twelve games won and one lost for the Wrens. Come out Sunday and help them make it thirteen out of fourteen. One Mr. Miller, Oxford’s strike caller, is a good umpire when he is right, but the fans are of the opinion that he was suffering from a severe attack of “moneyketis” Sunday p. m. The Wrens today challenged Oxford for another game with the same players for a purse of SIOO, the gate receipts to go 75 per cent to the winners and 25 per cent to the losers. The game to be played at Remington, a neutral umpire to be selected by Remington. We venture the prediction that the challenge will be ignored. Itching piles provoke profanity, but profanity won’t cure them. Doan’s Ointment cures itching, bleeding or protruding piles after year* of suffering. At any drug store.
