We arrived here Friday from Louisville,
after going to Cincinnati and thrashing
the best club there. We had no idea what
was in store for us here. We awoke this
morning confident of at least giving the
White Stockings good game.
Captain Wood, OF the White Stockings
came around this morning to learn what
kind Of ball we were to play with. Tracy
| told him we would play with the White
Stocking dead ball-the ball he introduced
down in New Orleans. He said his men
would not play if he Tracy persisted in
playing with that kind of ball. Tracy said
he would not play with any other, so Wood
left, remarking that there would be no
game, the White Stockings evidently want
ing to furnish a lively ball.
At three o'clock the stars went on the
| ground and dressed for the game. The
same question in regard to the ball came up
again, but it was no use; Tracy was stub
born, and would not give in, so they decided
to play with dead ball. Mr.. E. O'Neil was
then chosen as umpire, and gave general
FIRST INNING.

! menced, with the Whites at the bat. Duffy
opened the ball with a drive down to
