Tuesday Afternoon.
The Long Branch Races.


:. , audience has ever witnessed, occulTeG
. .,ay afternoon on the Twen:v-third street
,:.... The opposing niGe we're the Phla-
. n .,:;.a, and they were defeated for the second
:.:. since their advent in tbs city. BY the remark
~ low ecoro Of to !. Between 5000 and 4, 000
j. were present. and if applause and con-
.,o:s Of every kind are to be considered
.eos OF genuine pleasure and enjoy
.a-al the gathering WAS supre1nely
44;,.,y oae- The weather. barring tritIe too
much wind against the batting, was delightful,
and hence all things were in unison, for Won
der Mr. Mclean, OF Philadelphia, was the Gm-
pire, and, notwithstanding the fact that he WAS
called upon to render several very close de-
cizions, be acquitted himself c1edliably, and gave
general satisfaction. It il utterly impossible
for judge in any sport to please every one' and
Ar. Mclean, SO far as his Chicago experience ID
concerned, has done the next best thing, BY
pleasing the greatest number.
Game was called Mt the usual hour, with the
Whites at the bat, the copper having fallen
wrong side up for them, as is its almost lnrar1a-
bic custom. Tho opening inning yielded them
nothing, Cummlngs' peculiar delivery being
great obstacle III the say Of safe or even hard
hits. Somehow or other the bat could not bo
brought III proper contact with the bail hence
md those sort OF things generally find ilospita-
Die hands awaiting their descent. Cuthbeft
came very near making 8 eafe hit on
high bounding bail in Holdsworth's
direction, but, unfortunately, close doesn't
:ount 10 any great extent, and he died at first.
Force hit to Fulmer, who picked up the ball in
good style, but threw at the base-bag instead Of
he lasemen. The result was that the striker
{,;r3 hafo n RnharA
BE was allowed to remain there By Malone and
Meycrle, Who knocked up easy flies. Tho
pioneer ba1smen on the Philadelphia side met
with peor SUCCESS in their efforts to got on first
base. 4 neat piece of fielding on Forces part
got rid Of Egeler; Meyerle froZe to Holds
Horths line ny. though it did shake him up some;
Malone rot under Hicks foul fly, and i. never
s9uctled ground.
.fhs second inning had similar ending, though
9incs stated off for Chicago with vicious hit

zro1 nder to Fu1mer. and the latter fle!ded it to
ra..sr, few feet CT. to retire Hines at second

enemies were too many for him. aud
be was finally compelled to euccumb. The next
Two strikers we're York and Radcliffe, each of
whom WAS taken care Of by Ireacy ard Hines
In the thi1d inning the Whites blanked
Bea,u, though at one time the bases we're full,
sud it seemed as il they could not be kept out OF
3 tally. Glenn struck out. but through muf
by Mack Of the catc;1er's throw, lie saved his
base. Peters went out to Hicks on foul dy.
4 snfe hit over the short felder's
head Cuthbert made another, and all the
pas es we're loaded. 1t was anticipated that
Force would do something to keep the boys out
rulncr- The latter sent the ball home in time
% put ont Glenn, and thence it was dispatched
10 n1et ahead OF Force, aud the second double
play OF the game wRs made. The Phi1adelphias
tnen made their first and only run. Their first
striker Muck. was tyed by Zettlein. He was
followed By FuImer IN safe hit to centre field,
ahich Hines attempted to lake on the fy, but
Jailed to seach Consequently ne could not stop
;hc Lail when it bounded. and the striker got q
oase no1e than the hit entitled him to. Cum
Mugs went on from Zettlein to first, and FIJI
uer went out to third, when he should have been
>n sccrnc. BE WAS brought home BY safe hit
If EgGler's to short field, and then the next
striker was put out. It will be seen that were it
tulmer, at best, could not have
soue further than third base, aud the
.un would not have been made Az this was the
,1.ly mispay on the side of the Whise Stockings
IL tue entire game, however, it can be gracefully |
o@c1 c1iooled- Nevertheless. it would hays been
immensely pleasant If the result of the game 1as
such as to enable Chicago to send the; compl-
neuts Of the season to Philadelphia Ia the shape

Year.
In the fourth inning the Whites batted we'll

Malone WAS first to bat, and went out
It fist. Meyerle made fair foul hit to loft for
;wu Eases. and went to third on q safe hit bv
llinte Ircacy displayed his knowledge OF the
requirements of the position in long ty to the
hight field, which, though caught, was almost az
17od as d base lit, because it enabled the man
,n tnnd to sc@.e- Glenn Lit for safety, taking
remain but for wild throw by York, whicn let
lin to third. safe hit BY Peters brought him
aolne, and then the side WAS put out.
Ze,tlcns pitching began to grow wild at this
