The Volunteers gave a dazzling exhibition, and but for a few errors played a good game. The pitching and fielding were all that could be desired. The Chinese on the other hand also played an excellent game and their victory can only be attributed to superior flelding. Both teams failed to make more than one run in an inning.

The Volunteers scored in the Owen ärst inning through Hughes on a fly by Bowker in the direction of right field, which puzzled June. This helder, how ever, brought off a fine catch and disposed of Ramsay and his side in the second inning for a blanka
