THE NATIONAL CANE.
Atlantic vs.. Union reIInyr,aIsers.~ %

Atlantic vs.. Union (SsIInyr,aIkers.'')
The home and home game between these cele-
brated mines came of yesterday at the Capitoline
grounds In the presence OF very fair assemb.age,
and proved TO be, with the exception of or two
innings good and sharp contest. Both mines were
Out In full strength and In good trim for play and
the knowing ones or those who seemed TO think that
they were posted, were very scary about betting.
At first the impression seemed to prevail that the
Atanties would ''walk away" from the ''scythe
singers" and from the way In which the ''tales'
were run up until the fourth innings it certainly
did look al If the "blue stockings" were to he
badly beaten by the sturdy Old Atlantlcs The
"countrymen," however, did not seem to lose
spirit, although IL was in consequence Of poor
Judgment used by Bearman ft'h0mnle Qtt, TtU, tnat
the AGantlcs were enabled to get such lead In the
early part OF the game. In the second innings when
two hands were out and two men running the bases,
Pearce popped the bail up over right short field !;
succeeding m getting 'home," after which start and
Smith Int well lor their bases, but Pearce, III gong
home on Smiths hit was nlpped at kome base by
Craver, on splendid throw in by s. KING. In the
third inning Start was on first base when smith
batted to right snort; Bearman feldei the ball
to second. THIS baked Bearman, and he ran up 10
touch start who Kept backing from hlEl. 80
base base at.I saeIy. SuiH Had Bearma THROWN the the
ball 10 Powers, who Tad taken second, aud who
could have passed the bah back to McAtee thcge was
every probability of good douole play. after
this Chapman, next striker was put ont. and thus
the inalg might have been b ank instead Of which
SIX runs were scored. The same point was played
by start In the next innings but Bearnan recOected
himself and nssead OF chasing start uD he Threw To
McAtec VINO put the striker CsJ and then threw TO-
Powers to seal Start of, but throwing wildly the
latter was saved, and subsequently, made his run.
These were about the only very damaging errors
made on the Hay aymakers side, and Bearnan more
chan compensated for his previous nsplay5 by good
service on the ground and in the alr during the
remainder of the game. AS the score will show, ron
the iourth innings the play was sharp Oh both sides.
In that innings the Hsymakers, by hard hitting,
helped, however, by fly catches missed by Snith and
Crane ana 'mur by Smith, succeedingln placing
themselves ahead OF the Atlantics, ana by steady
play thereafter managed to keep the lead EMO finally
come IN victorious, with the score standing as given
below.
A fine double playby Crane and Startin the sew
enth tanings deserves notice. Mr. King was CaDared
handsomely on the fly at right by Crane, who was
obliged to run well upsack of first and then throw
the ball 80 briskly as to head off McAtee, who had
gone scarely dozenfeet from ni f,ae base. Fishers
heavy pitching and Crnver's ca 'ohig were features
OF Cne game tNrov,
The 1npirlng by Mr.. Hatheld t-'roughout was very
fine He wss COOL correct, prompt and Impartial
beyond oavll IN every respect, ana cannot be TOO
highly commended. The score OF the game ls as fol-
lows
