'98 Second Nine, 20; E. H. S., 8.

Yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field the second freshman nine defeated the nine of the English High School in a seven inning game by the score of 20 to 8. The game was one-sided and uninteresting, except in the fourth inning when the freshmen made twelve hits, which resulted in twelve runs. Holt pitched fairly well for the freshmen though somewhat wild at times. Ely pitched the last inning. Ward pitched for the High School and was hit heavily. The hits of the freshmen were for the most part timely. There was no brilliant playing and errors on both sides were numerous. The feature of the game was the batting of Tompkins of the freshman nine.
