A novel game took place at Stoneham, Mass., Aug. 28, in the shape of an old-fashioned Massachusetts contest, for the benefit of Frank H. Austin, an old-time ball-tosser. The Zouaves consisted of the present Stoneham nine, wtih five additional players, while the Benecia Boys comprised most of the players of the Stonehams of olden times, who were then the champions of the State. The game was won by the young players by a score of 21 to 15 in thirty-six innings.
