Nashville vs.. Memphis.

On Monday the Bluff City Base Ball
Club, of Memphis, arrived at Nashville
and played the Nashville Base Ball Club in
the Fair Grounds to large audience. The
Nashville won by score of As to 20. This
was the first game for the championship Of
Tennessee, On Tuesday the Bluff Citys
met the Morgan Base Ball Club, junior
club of Nashville, Tenn, on the FAN
Grounds. The attendance was not as large
as the previous day, and all who missed
seeing this game lost treat. The Bluff
Citys won by an unprecedented score Of
II to 8. This is the smallest score ever
made in Nashville.
Fowler distinguished himself in pitching,
Rhea caught on the first base splendid.
Archey felded some difficult balls, and
threw to bases well.
John Hooper, Martin and Burns fielded
well; Blount played short-stop carefully.
Dearman is good catcher. Levi, of the
Bluff City, is good catcher; Reynolds Ii
splendid pitcher and bothered the Nor
gan boys considerably. Burke on list,
Winters on I'd, and Rapp on Sd are good
Murphy, short-stop, made beautiful one
hand running backward catch in the 9th
inning.
This game was the finest ever played in
this city, and the Morgan boys deserve
praise for their fine playing, while the
Bluff Citys played 80 per cent better than
with the Nashvilles on Monday.
To-day the Bluff Citys play the Nash
