The r,s.e Rall Tournament.

The struggle for the silver ball began yester-
day. II had been settled beforehand that only
five clubs would at this time contend for the
championship, and it was decided late Tues
day night that the playing should take place
on the grounds near the Arsenal Messrs
Caudlegh of the Atlantic club, Brooklyn,
Henry Dennison of the Lowell club, Boston,
Frederick Gerrish of the Bowdoin club, j. c.
M. Kurdish of the Eon club, and George F
Abbott of the Athletic club, were selected as
judges, to award the several prizes for the best
general player, the best average score in the fl
nal game, the best fielding nine, the best out
fielder, and the greatest muffin According
to the programme the first game was to be
played by
uaai + BOwDOIN VS.. CUsHNoc sf
Early in the afternoon the crowd began to
gather, and at three o'clock the field was
thronged. BY the united exertions of the field
committee and the police, the grounds were
cleared and kept clear. The game was call
ed by the umpire, Mr.. Dennison, of the Lowell
club, at a few minutes past three, the Bow
doin boys going to the bat Hutchinson and
Cole succeeded in getting home, the former on
passed ball credited to Alden; Rundlett went
out on foul fly neatly caught by Alden and
Bangs and Bakerin succession were surprised
to find the ball at the first base before them.
The Cushnocs did a little better, having
scored before FIagg went out on a fly catch
leaving Little on the third base. t.-ft.s
The second and third innings were played
very slowly and carefully, each club evidently
doing its best. At the close of the third inning
the score stood 10 to II, the Augusta boys hay
ing lead of four runs. t g
The fourth inning settled the fate of the
game. The Bowdoin boys had scored s with
only one out, and Cole had made his first base.
when Rundlett struck the ball straight into
the right field when Deering caught it and
sent it to the first before Cole, who had started
to run, could recover his base. The Cushno,s
then went to the bat and made Is runs, going
out finally with Ladd and Robinson on the
bases. Rundlett's pitching during the inning
was very wild. AT one time, four men took
their bases in succession on called balls The
score stood at the close Of the fourth inning 16
to 40, more than two to one for Augusta. i9
1t is needless to follow the remaining in
nings In the sixth, Frank Ring, though too
lame to play, took the place of Cole as catcher
for the Bowdoins. Some other changes were
made in the positions Of their players, but the
odds were too heavy against them. In the
eighth, the Cushnocs We're choked Deering GO
ing ing out on fly caught by Charley Ring in the
right field, Buel failing to make his second
base, and Alden going out ON foul ball caught
by Frank Ring, The score for the last five in
ninSs stood 10 to IS in favor OF the Bowdoin
but the grim total was 81 to 4S the other way,

81 ACCIDENT. Yesterday morning while the
workmen were engaged On the new warehouse
OF Messrs. Woodman, True & Co, ION Middle
street, the standards of one section of the
staging drew, and let it to the ground Two
masons-George Noyes of this city, and W. H
Hutchins, of Brunswick, were at work upon
this section Of the staging and they were pre-
cipitated to the ground, distance of more
than forty feet. 1t was supposed by those who
witnessed the accident that that one, if not
both, Of them must be killed; but the only
outward injury discovered was that one of the
bones in the arm of Mr. Hutchins was broken
MIR. Woodman immediately called Drs. Tewks-
bury and Small, who attended the men and
had them taken to their residences He also
gave orders to have all their wants carefully
attended to, The fall of the staging was so
peculiar that it probably saved the lives of the
men.
