THE MATCH GAME OF BASE BALL.-We
were pleased to see so large an attendance,
Bail, played between the Cincinnati and
Railroad clubs. The great reputation of
the Red Stocking boys made us feel some-
thing scared that they would scoop our
boys out, and leave them, ''betting their
thousands on narypair," but the result
did not justify our fears. The Red Stock
ings play splendid game, but seemed to
think they had an easy thing, and they got
careless, while the Railroaders, knowing
what big job OF work was cut out for them,
played with great, caution and did not lose
an opportunity to score.
When game was called, the Cincinnati
Club went to field and made matters lively
for the Railroaders, who scored but 1, Gin
cinnati 4. Second and third innings Rail-
road whitewashed, Cincinnati scoring g.
On the eighth innings the Railroaders wipe
out one of the whitewashes by doing the
same service fol- the Cincinnati Club.
Our space and time will not permit us an
extended notice of the game. Suffice it to
say that the Railroaders have reason to be
proud of getting of so easy from such
heavy adversaries. They can thank their
luck, good playing, or whatever it was,
tn at kept the score from being 100 to l5
instead of "a to 10.
We append the score, which much fuller
than we could, tells "how fields were lost,
how battles won:" fs
