Leet Friday afternoon the 'Unions,' of
Gerrie and Wroxoter played ft. game al
baseball with the Brussels club. Play
commenced about 3:30, and the match
MN an enjoyable one throughont. In
the absences of the regular catcher Jae,
&rotten officiated behind the bat, and
did his work well until about the close of
tho game, when hie hands became a little
sore. He was relieved during the last
innings by Robb. Ross, who bids fair to
hold the epliaro with any of them in
another season. Jamas Ross, the Mein.
oible 2nd baseman, was away at London,
so Andy Currie took his piece and did
good work. Jno. MoBitin played left
field and took in two fly cote/tea from the
bate of Nash and W. Eaake. The visitors
lead up to the Dth innings, when the
score stood 8 to 2. At this juncture
Brussels got 0, malting the euro a tie.

opponents, but receiveci twice as many

the ball when it was thrown to lot base.
Splendid playing was done on both sides,
but the borne club could have won easily

Ilvii88els vs. ()nit.
On Monday a ntatoluel (.811110 of base
ball was played on Recreation Pork, Sao -
forth, between Breese% and Galt for a
purse of $50 and the amateur champion-
ship of Western Ontario. Our boys
counted fully on winning but a 0(10110001011
of what might be called ill luck attended
them which would defeat almost any
team. In the 1st innings Hatay War-
dell, Brussels catcher, was struck on the
right arm by a pitched ball which ren-
dered him useless behind tbo bat as he
could not throw to the bases. This being
the oasepitoher Grower instead of going
in the box took 3rd. base and McLaughlin
and Sanderson were substituted as the
battery, Grower expected to relieve the
former after a few innings. He did not
have an opportunity, however, as in run-
ning out for a foul fly he ran into the
Band otand and struck his head and also
injured his arm and leg, so badly was he
hurt that he had to lay off the balanoe of
the match. A. Paulin W08 5014 to 8rd.
Davidson, the Galt pitcher was knocked
out of the box in the 2nd timings, 6 runs
being 'looted. Brown, of Guelph, pitobed
the next two or three innings and than
Cookroan finisbed the game. At the end
of the 5th innings the score was 9 to G in
favor of Bruesels but iu the Gth the men
from the oast got on to McLaughlin and
made 6 and after that they were not
headed. There was a good sample of ball
playing and under ordinary oiroom-
stancee Brussels would have eon easily.
Sanderson pleased a fine game behind the
bat and difficult fly °statics were nabbed
by D. Ross, J. Ross and A. Paulin. Our
boys made 9 errors and Galt 8. Umpire
McLean, did fairly well although he was
thought to show a little partiality to Galt
at critical tiMeg. Of course many a good
story is spoiled by "if" yet had Grower
been able to pitch in the latter half of
the game Galt would have assuredly lost
