the game, given hereafter, mil show the victory was 8-1*
Selmer s catch in center field of Chamberlain’s long fly, Johnson1 s
successful high dive over the bank behind third base for Wilson's foul, and
the double play when Morris caught Cdle's drive and got the ball to Clarke,
first, in time to catch Blanchard for a double play, were the features of
the game. Emerson and Grant each smote the pill for two bases.
1st Inning: Ihe game opened with Maxwell flying out to shortstop,
Blanchard to 2nd base, and Qole out on an assist, pitcher to 1st. Porter,
first of the Chilkoot batters, was hit by a pitched ball. Chamberlain got a
single, sending Porter to second. Wilson and Grant both went out on flies.

third and came home on an overthrow. Morris fanned. Score 3-0.
2nd Inning• Pries got a single and stole 2nd. Selmer drove one to *
third where Wilson juggled it. Preis came home while the 1st and 2nd sackers

to larke. Emerson nailed Maxwell’s fly. The grabbing of Chamberlain's fly

mersault over the bank (grabbing Wilson’s foul en route ) were the most spec
tacular bits of fielding seen during the day. Johnson also hung onto Grant’s
infield fly, ending the inning without score. Score, 3-1.
