The Trotans Redeem Themselves by De.
fenting the Mutuals--Scorc to Ia
Fine Contest.
One OF those animated scenes, 40 frequently witt
messed on a ball field where two first class pro-
fcssiona clubs contrasting for the mastery, WIS
enacted on the Union Grounds, Williamsburg,
yesterday afternoon. The Haymaker nine having
just received two crushing defeats came to New
York for the purpose OF revenging themselves on
the pucky Mntuals As early rs two O'Clock
crowds OF persons began vending their way to the
various ferries leading to the vicinity Of the grounds
and by three O'Clock every boat leaving the Grand
and Roosevelt street ferries was loaded down to
its utmost capacity with human freight bent on
witnessing
THE STRUGGLE or THE GIANTS
once landed on the Brooklyn side Of the river
great rush was made for the horse cars, which
almost instantly packed as close as those rckety
vehicles are.
The grounds, always, as verdure ia, beautiful and
refreshing - the eye OF the thousands who are day
after day pent up In the counting house factory,
were never more inviting than on the present oc-
casion Long rows of newly covered seats ar
ragned one above the other meet the eye to the
left as you enter, the handsome and unique pagoda
OF the lower end OF the grounds filled with
ELEGANTLY ArTIRED LADIES
and their gallant escorts, the Club House by the
entrance, over which innumerable flags, pennants
and streamers float upon the breeze; the large
number OF carriages and vehicles OF almost every
description near the carriage entrance ana
above all, the hundreds or thousands or persons
scattered about the Held and on the seats, rem
dered the scene one OF almost Understandable anlna~
tion
OPENING THE GAME. &c.
At precisely three O'Clock and thirty minutes the
shout OF "Clear the grounds" comes ringing up
from the Club House. and instantly the imperturb-
able reporters seize pencil and score book and are
ready 10 record alike the brilliant and the medi-
OGRE displays OF skill by the various players. The
Mutuals have the toss and sent their opponents
first 10 the bat Force led on with fair foul ball
past third base, which ne took two bags. McAtec
followed with nice liner to left field, sending
Force to third from where he got In on Kings Dy,
taken BY Bechtcl, Allison having previously sent a
ny TO the same place. Bellan captured by
PcarCc and start. One rum not earned. For the
Mutuals Hatfield and start each made base hits,
but the former was caught at third ON fine throw
I'm BY Belan, ana Pcarce and Eggler each retired on
the n.y. Until the NTH inning the score was IN
between centre aud right fields, got three
bases, and had he not been lame would
got home on an over pitch by Zcttlcin, the next
three strikers going out before getting to first
base. During the fourth inning Martin distn-
puished himself by making most remarkable
catch In the right field and Boyd OF the Mutuals
made a very nne stop aud throw to FIRST. Owing to
loose play by several OF the Mutuals, Mcmillan in
particular, who dropped ain easy fy in right fe!d
The ITolans scored two runs In the sixth inning; but
the Mntaals were less successful, their efforts re-
sulting In one FIRST and one two base hit by Start

THE MOST GLAZING ERRORS
on the part Of Boyd and an cxcusabie one by Hicks,
the LAWMAKERS IN the seventh inning added another
brace OF runs 20 their account, while the New
Workers were again whitcwashcd, Bechtel ana
Boyd each making base hits, however.
