A. team by the score of two to nothing, a home fun by Kerbs being the feature of the game. The game was a fast one from start to finish and the locals showed up the equals of the visitors In everything except tho ability to hit the ball, which counts a great deal In the long run. There were only three hits on each side, however, and the visitors themselves did not solve Parker's de? livery sufficiently to do a great deal of harm. There were fow errors on either side and the game was close enough to be exceedingly exciting. The crowd was good and fairly enthusiastic, adding to the Interest of the sport. The second game will be played this afternoon. Chandler will start off in the box with Haynsworth and others to take his place, if he gives out. The game is expected to he as closely contested as that of Wednesday. First Week Jurors.
