Quer. They met the enemy, and the enemy
was twenty-five runs ahead OF them:
The playing was tremendous. Nothing equal
to it was ever witnessed The stri ,ers, pitch
ers, catchers aud fielders covered themselves
with Glrt aud glory.
One striker knocked ball out to Fort Sum-
ter. The garrison thought tlias they were being

sent to General Grant. announcing the astound-
ing fact that the rebellion had broken loose
once more in Charleston,
The sslong field" which means the man who
goes long distances after the ball. and stays q
long while, took asteamer and went over to the
Fort. The ball was recovered, and the fears Of
the garrison allayed

mans head.
The strikers ran the bases at a speed never
before equalled. One man couldn't be stopped
until he had made circuit OF Charleston.
The balls were ''red hot" So was the game.
The CharlJ Jston ''nlne" thought that Savannah
had made game Of them by sending such OK
perts to play with them.
We have ascertained the reason OF the de-
feat OF the Forest City Club. A private dis.
patch from the umpire states that 1t was all
the fault Of the scorers. They marked down
more runs for the AlertS than for the otner
Climb. Another reason was that the defeated
club did not catch flies enough. and finally the
Alerts were on the alert, which caused our
boys to be put out.
New York fur dealer made splendid bar
gains in buying up "muffs," aud largely in
creased his stock.
Eighteen billions of people witnessed the
game. Charleston has never been 80 excited
since the close Of the war.
Just as the Forest City were about to win,
their best man had his head knocked of by q
shot bali. Several runs we're made by the
Alerts while it was being fixed on again.
They played until dark, and then proposed to
light up and go on, but the umpire was thirsty
aud refused to allow 1t.
A splendid collation. was given in the evening,
at which both clubs covered themselves with
honor. Hot ''muffins" were served up as sus-
gestlve Of the game.
After the collation. the Forest City Club made
q grand home run. AS nobody caught them
out, they all got in.
