■ ras then resorted to, but before it was completed, 



the i.iin, which had been threatening ail day, came down 



nuns and stopped the playing. The* game at the 



close Stood three each, so neither club won. The ehatii- 

 piuns in this -nine were easily outplayed, both at the bat 

 and in the held, by the Allunlies, who, but for their very 

 poor bttse rmmlnu', would have won the game. Sweezey, 

 of the old lied Slocking club, played second base for I fie 

 Athtnlies in this game, and showed himself to be the best 

 second baseman the Atlautics have had for many years. 

 They also presented a new catcher in the person of Fleet, 

 formerly of the Chelsea club.
