...toss and went to the bat. They were speedily put out however, after gaining three runs. In '90's first innings, two hits and two errors with a base on balls resulted in five runs, none earned.

The game was not remarkable for any brilliant plays, yet was, on the whole, an interesting one. It illustrated the fundamental principle that...
