could not have the satisfaction OF playing with a

THE SCORING eF THE MASCHBsTsR CLUB
was very slow on the start, and the first too
wickets went down for runs. Then ROwley

the crowd which WAS to witness tue playins2
There were only about $50 persons on the
ground, and IL was too late 20 hope for a larger
attendance. The boys made the best of AZ, aud
went iE 70 play ~ sharp game though they
were az home and exhibiting their skill before
thousands OF spprecistive spectators. IL proved
10 be one OF the best games yet played in Enc
land.
The first inning was played without a run
or sB error on either side. ON the second, the
Blue Stockings scored two runs I'm this wise:
Clspp biz sharp ball % Schafer, who touch

out Clapp. Sutton sent one between Barnes
and 0'Rourke, earning first. Hall had a splen-

threw the ball over Schsfer's heal, and both
the base runners scored. Leonard broke the

for three bases, but was left on third. The
first run for the i'Reds" was made in the thin
inning. when Hall and Schafer bsttsd safely.
and the former came home after a long fiy 70
McNuIln. Mcbride scored one IN the first
inning, getting trst on . miss judged fy by
Leonard, third on Clspp's safe nit, and home
after Battin's fly out 20 Hall. O'ROurke dropped
an easy ball from Schafer beautiful pickup
by the latter, but the error did no harm,
as the inning closed with two men on bsses.
In the next inning "Jimmy" dropped another
ball from Schsfer, aud then McVey and Barnes
secured a novel double play, the former putting
Arson out on three strikes, and then throwing
to Barnes IN capital style and in season for
"Ross" 10 touch The third man out. In this same
inning Clspp wrenched his knee in running for
9 foul ball, being somewhat interfered with by
the players. In consequences OF the injury,
Clapp was forced TO retire from the game, and
McGeary went behind the bat, Murnan taking
short stop aud SenseDderfer going 20 right field.
The latter soon got q chance 70 distinguish him
self by splendid running catch, the finest OF
the game, which made the spectators applaud
loudly. The sixth inning OF the Athletics gave
them two runs, Arson and Mcbride batting
well, the former earning hi. run and the latter
getting bis on dropped ball by McNey, thrown
home TO him by George Wright. The BOstOns
took another blank. and the score was 5 10
against them. The run getting for the BOstOns
ended here, The "BluesD scored two sddI-
uonsl in the last inning on q NUT by Barnes,
followed by three safe hits. The batting score
shows how weak the ''Reds" were in that direc-
ton. Mcbride pitched splendicy, ami be was
supported in Old-time Athletic style.
THE GAME OF CRICKET
was finished to-day, and the Manchester club
wss badly beaten. Play began At half-pasl 70
O'Clock, and the remaining i've men went out
IN twenty minutes. One or two misplays by the
eighteen gave the ManehesteTs more runs than
they should have had. Their score reached a.
lowing their inning. The Americans therefore
went in. The prominent feature Of the inning
was the score Of Geo. Wright, who showed finer
cricket than any Englishman has yet displayed
20 US. Hls50was splenddly made, and included
hard drives, scientific cut, draws and leg hits
de got q 5, six Is. two SIS and six 2's. He was
finally caught al long slip OF the fast bowling.
The inning ended for just 100 rams. The lunch
bell rang, but our boys took no lunch. On every
ground heretofore they have lunched at the in.
vitation or the cricket club, but they received
no such courtesy at the hands OF the 81 anches-
ter club. The latter lunched leisurely by them
selves, and then went on and played their sec
ond inning, having ten men put out In an hour
and twenty miUntee. Whatson professionally
made stand fof %, and one other man scored
bowlers. The total OF the inning was So and
the final figures POI 20 IS. The yanQuished were
