The base ball teams from the Bailey, Banks & Biddle Co. and J. E. Caldwell & Co. played a very interesting game of base ball at Maple Grove Park, Pa., on Saturday, May 21, before a large enthusiastic gathering. The game was very close and exciting and required 10 innings for a decision, when the Bailey team bombarded their opponents for seven runs. The features of the contest were the pitching of Bradley and the brilliance on the diamond of the "Polished Girdle" boys from Bailey's.
