Description

Vigilant vs. Exercise - A match between these two clubs was played

yesterday, on the grounds of the Vigilants, Third avenue, which 

resulted in favor of the Exercise. The playing of both clubs was very

good, especially the batting, considering the strong wind they had to

bat against. Up to the close of the the third innings the game was

considered a close one, and had not Messerole, the catcher of the

Vigilants, met with an accident by a foul ball striking him in the

face, and also the first baseman playing rather careless, letting a 

ball pass him which might easily have stopped, the Exercise boys

would have had theirs hands full to beat them. These mishaps put

a damper on the Vigilants, and they played very careless the 

remainder of the game. Of the Excerise, Hough, catcher and 

Sprague, pitcher, showed very fine play, the former catching balls

that seemed almost impossible for him to reach. Cheney and

Elmandorf also played well, both of them showing a clean score.

The Playing of VanPelt, shortstop, Young, Secondbase, and 

Bogart and Messerole, pitcher and catcher, of the Vigilants

was very creditable. The decisions of the umpire, P. O'Brien

were very prompt and satisfactory. The following is the score:

Vigilants - 14

Excerise - 29
