The selected Nine Of the Evansville
Base Ball Club, accompanied By q
few friends, took tie morning train
yesterday for Princeton, in response
to challenge from the latter Club to
playa match game in that town. Ar
irving at Princeton at II, they at
once proceeded to the American
House, when Mr.. Wade strengthened
them with might in the inner man by
one of his sumptuous dinners. AT
lao O'Clock in the afternoon game
was called by the umpire, the Prince
ton Club at the bat.
FIRST INNING.
Bucklin opened the game after two
fouls, with a rather weak hit to short
stop, which Doctor Hass handled
slowly. and the striker made his base.
he subsequently stole his second,
third and home by some bad fielding
on the part of the EvansyilIes. Spit.
ger, seeing the good luck of his pre-
decessor, tried the Doctor with an.
other, which he felded to first. and
Mr.. Splitter retired. Jones struck a
daisy cutter to right field and took
his hrst. and rapidly stole the Second
and third, Wade tapped one to the
pltcher, who handed it to the first
and Wade didn't wade in. Jones got
home. Lear resigned by tipping
foul to the catcher. Side out with
two runs.
Coolidge led off for the Eyansvilles
with a good run to third. which was
badly thrown to first, giving the stri-
ker his third, and Babcock struck a
beauty to left field, made his first and
sent Coolidge home. Bray6eld, by a
safe hit, landed on first and sent Bah
cock to third. Nurre sent up a sky
scraper which nobody accepted gained
his first, while Babcock scored. Bad
throwing sent Brayfield home and
Nurre to third. Foster tapped one to
pitcher, who, having no immediate
use for the ball, sent il to first, and
Foster concluded he wouldn't run the
diamond on that inning. Walker
struck high fly to left field. which
Bucklin seized with enthusiasm. Nur-
re touched his base after the fly was
caught and then run home. Edgar
Babcock got put out by the pitcher
stopping his ball and fielding it to
first. Side out, four runs.
SECOND INNING.
Stott took the bat and struck out.
Strain took his first on three balls.
Devin gave HollingsWorth one on
second, who disposed of Strain at
that base, but Devin secured his first.
He stole his second and third, but re-
at the latter base by Buck
Inns fly, handsomely caught by Walk
sr. Result a goose egg.
HollingsWorth hit fairly, but the
ball was captured by Lear and held
On first before the old veteran could
.ravel the distance required to mark |
he base. HISS struck a fly which
;wo didn't catch and secured his first.
Coolidge hit to right field, sent Dec. |
to second, and took first himself. |
Foolish throwing sent Haas home |
and Coolidge to third. Babcock |
sook first on three balls, and Cool |
dge stole to the home plate. Bray
field, by a daisy cutter, made first and |
got his second on a good hit by Nurre,
who captured one bag. Fosters fly |
gave him ore bag, and sent Nurre |
20 third, and Brayfield home. Walk |
II sent Nurre and Foster home by a
good hit to second, which the latter
refused and made second, subse-
luently making home on passed
balls. Babcock second popped up
, nice fly which Jones took with a
smile. Hollingsworth gave Wade a
nice one, but the latter was not in a
,akiDg humor, and refused it; the
triker going to second, and subse-
luently home. Nobody seemed to
want Haas's easy ball, so he went to
lrst. Coolidge by a good hit went to
irst, and sent Haas to third. Both
hese players made bases. Babcoek
" fair foul got to first, but running |
IN foul was captured at first on his
eturn. Total nine runs.
From this time the game became
luite monotonous. The Princeton
boys made rally in the fourth in
ling, bat were evidently overmatched.
They played pluckily the nine in
lings, and took their defeat very
gracefully.
