Score ~ 20 II IN Eight Isnisgs
The much talked Of game between the
National and Olympic clubs, Of this city, was
played on the Nationals grounds yesterday,
In the presence Of an immense concourse Of
spectators, who were attracted thither by
reason Of the feeling existing between the
admirers Of both clubs, each nine being con-
sidered Grst class. The Olympic have held
the prestige thus far by reason Of their hav-
ing beaten the National three games this
season. The result of yesterdays contest
was victory again for the plucky Olympic
boys, due not so much to their good playing
