"Huymakers'' Defeated.
AT the Onion grounds yesterday there was as
sempIed crowd OF some ], 600 or 1900 to witness
The game between the celebrated 4" Haymakers''
and the Eckfords OF Brooklyn. The crowd was not
quite as large that which had attended the games
during the fore part OF the week. This, however,
was to be expected as the admirers OF the game
have been surieted during the week, and have rea-
son TO expect a plethora OF the sport during the
week 10 come. The crowd at first quite orderly +,

cred and tormented on all sides. The gentleman,
however, brought it all upon himself. He was not
known as a ball player, nor as a man prominent in
base ball circles, and if he understood himself at
all he would never have taken the position. 1t is
dsagreeabe and unthankful position to ill, and for
a newspaper to find fault with an umpire Is equally
disagreeable and, perhaps, unthankfuL Under
present circumstances, however, it cannot pc gam

the very start This was owing perhaps to the fact

had, for the ball was Martnzed so much that 1t

The game was such miserable affair on both
sides that 10 attempt to give it In detail would be
"a work of superrogation. The Eckfords made
mistake in putting Jewett at short field, and the
mistake was speedily made apparent and Jewett
