Exeter Defeats Second Nine.

Exeter defeated the Second nine at Exeter yesterday by the score of 4 to 2. The loss of the game was due to poor batting, as the fielding of the Second was creditable, the base-running showed improvement over the last two or three games played, and the bunting was the best of the season. Neither team made many hits, but the Exeter nine bunched their five hits well and scored two runs on a hard line drive between centre and right field. Hutchinson pitched well for the Second nine, giving but two bases on balls. Carpenter's difficult catch of a centre-field fly was a feature of the game.

The score by innings was as follows.   1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  r.  h.  e. Second Nine,  0  2  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  2  4  3 Exeter,  1  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  3  4  5  4
