TEE NATIONAL GAME.

Mutuals VS.. Stars Victory for the New
}-.~ Workers. by Score of 10 to Y.
Yesterday afternoon the above-named clubs
played their return game on the Captoline grounds,
Brooklyn and, contrary 10 general expectation, the
Stars were badly beaten. The FIRST s;..me was very
easily won by the amateurs last spring, the score
being IA to g. anu from the way they have bcen
playing all the season their many friends and adj
mirers were confident that they would walk around
the "Mutes'' second time, although, OF course, not
easily they did at first. Then, too the stars
have got new catcher since the first game and
since his acquisition Cummings has been letting him.
self out in such a startling and effective manner to
baile some OF the Very best batters In the country
aud had Hicks not been partially disabled the score
would yesterday have looked great deal different
OF the end or the game than 1t did AS it was, he
was so lame In his left leg that he could scarcely
bend MS knee Mt all, and OF course, under these CIR
cumsrances, he could not get around after the foul
nys with his wOnted celebrity. Notwithstanding
this great drawback he played very well, but OF
course Cummings could not put the balls In quite
hot as he would have done under other CircGul-
stances
The game was called at halfpast three o'clock,
with the Mutuals at the Bat but they soon retired
for blank, Hatfield, Patterson and Nelson all going
out ON the foul dys, leaving Eggler on first base.
The Stars were treated In like manner, SO
far as the scoring was concerned, Rogers,
HICKS, and Dollarq going out In one, two,
hree order, the two former on iys to swanden and
Martin and the latter at first base. The next in+
ming was repetition OF the first, both sides retiring
without scoring. During the fore part OF this Bea-
vens made very pretty double play. Martin was
on second and g. Mills on first when Walters sent a
short fly to Beavens, who purposely muiied it and
then picked 1t up and threw 1t to DOllard, who
touched Martin before he could get TO third, and
then threw 1t back TO heavens at second in time to
put O. Mills out In the third inning Packer batted
q weak one to Nelson, who. In relding it to first,
threw OF least five feet over Ed. Mills head and be-
fore the ball could be cxtrcated from the crowd
Packer mad crossed the homeplate. The ''Mutes,"
also. scored a run in this inning but In the
next one, by q irlghiful mhr and
wild throw OF Worth's, they ran up four and dis
posed OF the amateurs for After this the game
ceased to be interesting, for Mutuals soon added
five more to their score without giving the stars
scarcely any show at all.
On the part or the amateurs, Beavens, Manley and
Rogers are deserving or especial mention; the
former never played better, and IN the last innings
made one or the finest lethard catches record
ed. Nelson batted the ball. and 1t red hot, about
three feet above Beavens' head who jumped up and
caught 1t with his lett hand Manlcy also made q
very fine line catch. With the exception Of Hatfield
ana Nelson all the Mutuals played up to their usual
standard. These two gentlemen, however, would
persist In throwing very wild through the whole
game.
