Game Seldom indeed have the base ball going people ol Bloomsburg had the opportunity of witnessing a more in teresting game of base ball than that which took place on Normal Field, Satufday afternoon, between the Bloomsburg Wheelmen and the Nor mal School. Notwithstanding the fact that it was the Wheelmen's first game, and the people in general were not looking for a real close score, the at tendance was quite large, and de cidedly enthusiastic in spirits. The Wheelmen had for their bat. tery Mathewson and Stanton, of Buck nell University, and the work cannot be praised too highly. There is not much to be said about the fielding as neither side had a great ileal of it to do. The neatest bit of work perhaps was enacted by third baseman Coff man when he gathered in a hot liner that came at him with the velocity of a cannon ball, and retired the batter at first. It may be said in extenuation of the Wheelmen's poor showing at the bat, that this was the first time the team has played together, and they showed lack of practice with the stick, a de fect which time and a little coaching will remedy. For the Normal, there is no excuse to be made. They played just as good ball Saturday as they ever play ed before, but they were powerless at the bat. Mathewson had the whole nine counting stars. His ins and outs were too much for Normal batsmen, and they went down before him like new cut flowers before a tropic sun. The score follows: WHEELMEN. STATE HEWS ITEMS- I. W.
