one of the most unexpected and aston
ishing victories ever gained on bdl field was
tina. obtained by the Atlantics over the Baltl-
more Club yesterday afternoon on the Capto-
line ground. IL was the second of their cham-
pionship series but it was not regarded by the
general public a. Of much interest, II seemed

Baltimore.
SIR. Charles Mills. having been chosen umpire,
called play at Js5. They began very badly, the
nrst two strikers going out without being able to
reach their first bnsc. Little BARLOW, with his
little bat. then went up to the plate and though
the baltimore men were prepared for him. gave
one Of his little hits, Just dropping the ball In
front " the plate. and safely reached Ills Nrs,,
his second. got to this third on wild pitch, and
muGed. This the only run the Auantics
made in this inning, and for It they were in
debtcd to BarlUw's cat-ke activity and judg-
not ENCOUNTER.
RadcliGe led on for the Baltlmores with clean
fair foul hit. Craver followed with a hot one to
dldy TO Beavans, who murcd the hall most
abominably, losing not only the double play; but
am then forced Criver out at second. and was
himself out ut nrst on the double play, but Dehl-
man following licavans's example muned Plke,s
timores made i've unearned runs, eleven men
having gone TO the bat. This made matters look
Awfully black for the poor Atlantics, and tho
spectator began to think they had been fools
to pay nifty cents tn see such mufn match.
Ferguson, however. Il one of the most indomi-
table captains, and was not In the least disc0n-
certed at the terrific odds against him. En-
