BASE BAIL.-For several days
past some interest has bean growing
out OF the vigorous advertising OF
match game to come of yesterday az
ternoon between the Battles and the
ic(t)nines. The ponderous joke
which Is contained in the play upon the
word "strichnine," or words "strict
nine," was well calculated to excite
query as to whether the members OF
that club were in the habit OF using as
thsir.favorite beverage, whisky which
Is 80 highly refined as to partske OF the
qualities of that well known chemical
or the rules OF their order are on the
teetotsl plan. In either case, great SCI
entidc and hygienic principles were
involved in the result OF the
game, and we repaired to the Fair
Grounds On the Island. expecting
to find assembled there a con-
course of philosophers and devotees OF
science. The attendance was limited
TO about two hund red spectators, most
Of whom were very unphilosophicAl in
preferring TO remain under the rays OF
the broIling sun, to occupying a seat
on the stand where gentle breeze was
playing with refreshing GOODNESS.
ENTER THE CONTESTANTS.
The Baltics' glorious nine, fresh as
daisies, Notwithstanding their powerful
ard e1hausting play OF last week with
certain club which shall be name

The other nine whose name we refrain
from repeating, also put in their appear

good fellows, in the principal business

lore the one of yesterday, Their names

community, as we'll as their strong and
healthy physiques testified to the pos

REMARKS.

The mufhng on both sides was beau
tiful and wonderful to behold. How
some Of those balls could have been
was singular indeed. To some of the
Battles we would suggest that a hat or
cap might be brought into successful
use as receptacle for ''ftes." The play
ofthe new club, Notwithstanding some
OF the peculiar features which we have
noticed. was good, and we give them
every encouragement to keep on. If
the stiff backs, sore hands and feet OF
yesterday do nos discourage them it is
probable that with constant practice
for few years they will make fair am
ateurs. II, however, they do conclude
that bail playing is not their road to
tame, they will be better of and the
country will not be the loser. The
game was a very pleasant and enter
tanning one for the spectators, many
laughing till their sides were sore. we
would suggest that the new club be
called the "Left-hRnded," for an obvf-
Gus reason.

THE GAME.

Precisely at the time announced the
game commenced. The playing was
at first so brilliant on the part OF
the beginners that we did not
keep any account OF their scores.
At the end the third inning the Bal
tics had run up a score of about thirty
ave. AT the beginning of the fourth
inning Cots, being selected for pitcher,
took off one shoe and stocking, and the
game commenced In earnest. Mr..
Cots forte seemed to be that of grasp
ing the ball firmly, looking attentively
all around, then hurliEg it with the
force of a cannon ball away over the
head Of the first or third baseman
This practice would be varied by an
occasional pitch for the man at the
bat, and when the ball was hit, If it
happened to he a high one. Hoger
the third, would rush rapidly a
few. yards, then stop till the ground
received the force OF the ball, when he
would pick it up and the game would
go on. II the ball was low one or g
daiay-trimmer and went In the direc-
ton OF Hoge he would place himself
before Il then raise his foot and allow
It to pass on. Merriman, on the other
hand, separated his feet widely thus
forming au avenue for the ball. Jacobs,
probably under the impression that Il
he caught the ball standing might be
driven into the earth, would present 8
broader basis to the soil by sitting or
the grass and receiving the ball on his
head and shoulders. Hubbard also la.
! bored under this apprehension, though
he made some fine catches. Hubbard's
running on strikes, however, was a
feature of the game. Fly catches were
made by Hoge, Jacobs, Irwin and Hub
bard. In the fourth, fifth and sixth in
nings, eibeginners scored five runs
tho Rallies having made sixty

THE DAILY APPEAL

A PARTY of citizens collected at
Platt's corner last evening, waiting the
arrival of the Colfax party, were some
what in the same predicament of the
boys at the exhibition of the panorama
of Napoleon and his Generals. The En-
peror was described as :" the man on
the white horse" The boys seeing sew
eral horses Of that description, inquired
which was Napoleon, and were told,
just which ever you please, my little
dears'; so with the watchers for the
Vice President One middle aged gen
tleman was posted at the corner TO give
the signal for the others to salute Mr..
C but the whole party looked SO kind
of mixed up that tbs sentinel let them
all pass up to the last carriage and on
giving the signal was informed that the
gentleman he supposed to be Mr.. Colfax
was our old familiar friend snd fellow
citizen Col. Curry. Moral-Young eyes
are superior to old at any time, espec-
tally in the twilight hours.

evenings since and were really amused
to witness the excitement attending this
novelty. We saw :. heaps )" stolid old
citizens aud boys; one middle aged
boy stood rubbing his hands and feel
ing every now and then the muscles of
his arms, looking all the while visit
fully at the Plus and balls, till at length
be burst on. with, " Ten years ago |
could beat the crowd at rolling" He
hadn't got the words out before youth
old enough to be his father, steps up,
pulls off his coat, rolls up his sleeves,
grabs ball, aud says, " I'm your man
for 4 dollar" A, it they went, regard
less of age, dignity-or tight pants
and a more interesting sight We have
rarely witnessed than that game, and
although we could not stay to ascertain
the result, we will wager a cigar that
the Older boy was the best man.
Col. CURRY started up the engine in
the Mint yesterday and informs US that
every thing works as smoothly as top.
Truly this Mint is a beautiful structure,
credit to its architect, manager, and
all connected with il, and is another
proof of what energy and perseverance
will accomplish. Croakers, who canno,
see beyond their nose, say it will be OF
no benefit to Carson. To those we say,
wait and see Some of the same class
say, the railroad will ruin Carson. To
those we say, wait and see. The old
Illinois Senator, we have heard Of, said
in relation to the telegraph wires, that
I" they might do for small packages,
but that they could not be of any use
for heavy goods" The march of i'm
provement ever brings benefit in its
train. q" Wait and see."

TIE MuNiC1PAE ELFcrIoE.

The election for Aldermen passed of
quietly yesterday, save at the Fifth ward
poles, where 3 brief fsticuf encounter
between some white men and negroes
served TO relieve the otherwise monolouy
Of the day. The vote polled ia not equal
10 half the figures OF the Presidential
canvass summing up q total OF only
.34l5, divided as follows Democrats,
1861 Republicans, 1923 and ~Indspend-
ent candidates 432.
From the table printed In our local re-
port Of the day, it viii be seen that in
nearly every instance where a Demo-
crOtic candidate has been outvotsd by
his Republican competitor, the fact is
entirely attributable to e want of that
strict party discipline and organization
without which it viii be impossible
for Us to hope for a complete sub
version OF the Radical party in
this city. Thus, lr the Fourth ward,
DYER (Rsdicall only beat the regular
Democratic NOMINEES by three votes,
MALAYSIA independently achieving
twenty-five votes, enough, added 10
the siZty-tbree votes Of DR.. BRowN
TO have reelected that gentleman by
3 majority Of nineteen. In the Sixth
Ward, where GALLAGHER CRadlcaD ia
elected by a majority Of seventy-eigbt, a
united Democratic effort would have pre-
vented him reGping the reward of his
Radicalismi our party vote being
one hundred and twenty-nins to his one
hundred and f0rtythres. Ia the Sew
enth ward the vote was very close, OG-
DEN (RsdiCal) being elected by a msIor-
ity Of only sixty-one votes, out Of q total
Of seven hundred and twenty cast. In
the Eighth ward, WoLCoTT has been
elected by s majority Of twenty-seven
over the mex highest candidate,
the Democracy being beaten by
q division Of strength, as in
the Fourth ward, the total
party vote standing: Democratic, one
hundred and elghty-one; Republican,
one hundred snd seventy-one. In the
Ninth ward MCDAvITT was defeated bv
the Radical candidate by a majority OF
seventy-fve, with thirty-one to spare
that were thrown away on BUrrINo.
HAUsr another Radical. In the Tenth
ward the Radical candidate walked
/" yer Inc course, " distsnciug bis Demo-
cratic competition, PRENDERGAsr, by a
majority Of 2O2 out OF a total Of 1852 votes
cast.
The political complexion of the new
Board viii be thirteen Democrats TO
even Radicals, giving US q majority on
all important questions and, when ne
cessary, a wO-thirds or strict parry vote,
should such ever be called for in the
management Of cur municipal affairs.
OF the PersoRel Of the Aldermen
