Septernher .1 Xotwith standing the fact that the Colonias of Far Rorkaway had secured the invaliinhlo sprvlc i of Shorty Shaffer, Tom Kane and others who made lip the personnel of the famous Domestics, they suffered defeat at the hands of the local team yesterday afternoon, after eight Innings of the hottest kind of ball had been played.

At this juncture Croft took I he place of Wrdls. the latter having been hit very freely during the latter part of tho game, but the change did no good whatever. I'nbst opened the inning fur the Woods bnrirhs with a corking single and scored a second later wben Arthur Brower smashed tho leather into deep left for a hurae run. Two more uodslmrghers got their hnsex, aid then suddenly, just as tho homo team had two on bases, with none out, the Cohmias found it too dark to play.
