The MATCH GAME OF BASE BALL.
The weather yesterday was bright and
beautiful, but intensely hot; butearly
as the hour appointed for the match
| game of Base Ball between the repre-
sentatives Of the Greensboro and Res
| dilute Clubs, great crowd of specta-
tors assembled to witness the contest.
when the Greensboro Club appear
ed ON the street in their handsome
uniforms, which differs but little from
that of the Resolutes, their manly and
athletic forms induced many to doubt
the issues of the game, and it was not
without some distrust that the friend
of the Resolutes went to the field.
Tie preliminaries were soon arranged,
and the game was called fifteen min
utes after eight O'clock
The Greensboro Club took the bats
and w. b. Murdoch batted the first
ball finely to the right field, and might
have, made home run but stopped
moment on third base, and came home
on a passed ball. Mayo went out on
foul taken by. Wentz. Taylor
batted to the first base and was taken
on the fly by Iglehart Moore batted
his short and barely saved himself,
the DailIbeing felded to the first base,
and before it was returned to the
pitcher he removed his foot from the
base and Igiehart took advant-
age of, the inadyertency, and the
side rwent opt with but one score. 4
Ehrman batted his first ball success
sively, and made the third base, but
on the four successive innings man
aged to get five outs, going out twice
ON the fourth inningp and continued
to. have bad luck at the bat through
out the game. Before the first I'M
ming of the Resolutes was ended, it
was manifest: the Greensboro. boys
were not equal to the Resolutes as
felders, as they did not hold the ball
well, though they generally got the
bah In quickly In the first Inglelt
and Babcock went out on foul balls, |
and Rankin was put out on first base,
and the first inning closed with one
score for the Owensbero club aud six
for the Resolutes
On the I'd innings the Owens
boro boys had better luck, and played
with much spirit, and made score of
eight before they yielded the bat, and
the luck seemed to have changed to
the Resolutes, who lost the bat after
making but three scores-Ehrmsn GO
ing out on first base, and Rankin
and Iglehart striking out. But mis-
fortune seemed to- follow the Owens /
boro Club. and they lost the bat on
their third inning; after adding a
single mark to their score, and on the
fourth inning made nothing. Sew
eral of their men batted well, but
the Reselutes exerted themselves, and
played with more care, picking the.
foul bali with much agility,
while the Greensboro club, by muffing
and passed balls, lost several favora-
BILE opportunities. But, notwith-
standing their bad luck, the Owens
boro club showed great pluck, fought
the game out with galiantry and de-
termination that 7merited a better
fate In fact the spirit they mani
Tested elected the sympathy and adj
miration of the spectators, and when
they made a good play. that was cal
cplateds to give them an advantage.
they received warm applause from the
spectators ~
The Resolutes, though they acqtit-
ted themselves handsomely, made
more misses than were creditable, and
on botH sides, while there were |.
several Individual achievements that.
ELECTED warm admiration and hearty
applause, the game was not
esteemed by experienced players
as especially brilliant, Mayo, W. B.
Murdoek and Adams, of the Owens
boEo, and Rankin, Bennett. Vets,
