Championsiip--fhe Champions Defeated.
The cushioned emigrant cars OF the Harlem RAN.
road were called into active service yesterday after
noon to convey some thousands OF the admirers OF
the game OF base ball from this ana the adjoining
cities TO fremont, where the return game OF the
match for the championship OF the United states be-
tween the Union and Atlantic clnbs was to be
played In due course OF time the yoyageurs arrived
at the grounds OF the Union Club and there they
found already in possession some two hundred per
ccntnm more than the train had brought up. and
among the crowd u large number OF ladies'. The ar
rangemens for keeping the field clear were very good
and In certain too good for some OF the police
officers posted around would not or could not read
the tickets OF privileged individuals. Nevertheless
everything was agreeable. The crowd was very
large, orderly. respectable and quite od-natured
The ground was In as good condition could be
expected; the contestants full OF buoyancy and
confidence. and. as everybody knows, the weather
was all that could be desired. With all these ad-
Juhcts IL was very natural to anticipate fine, close
contest. Such an anticipation would have been
fully realized by the game, VIII ich Notwithstanding
the disparity In the score was sharply played and
IN which no opportunity for advantage that offered
was neglected by either side.

first, and the result was to save Pearce the annoy
