B. D's and Belgrave R. A. D's. The weather was rather chilly for fast baseball, but the usual brand was very much in evi- dence. McCallum, the husky heaver of Belgrave was knocked off the rubber in two innings, "Ped" Anderson's second three bagger chasing him to the bench. Geddes who succeeded him fared no better and was relieved by "Spider" Stonehouse, a product of the Wingham University. "Spider" pitched good ball but his dazzling speed was too much for the catcher and he gave way to "Dad" Watson, the old veteran of the Northern Michigan League. By use of his gravity drop he held the visitors in the hollow of his good right hand. The N.B.D. twirlers all looked alike to Belgrav a and the re- sult was a triple massacre, Cook, Nethery and Coultes being the result. Buchanan made a brilliant play on a long drive running clear to the fence and catching it on first bounce. The visiting infield was very fast, while the shining light for the locals was first baseman "Tim" Jordan. A few bone- head -plays by Geddes, Dunbar, and Tasker and J. McCallum made a num stop of a low pitched ball. Umpire Redmond called time for a few minutes in order to 'sneeze. He claimed the game was so slow that he caught cold. The game ended in a victory for the R. A. D's, the score being 9-11. R. A. D's. N. B. D's. J. Tasker , It Field K. Nethery J. McCallum Catcher A. Coultes F. McCallum 3rd Base A. Nethery N.
