The match at base ball between the Una club
of Charlestown, and the Resolutes of this city,
played at Deering yesterday afternoon, was by
far the most interesting game of the season.
The Unas are the champions of Massachusetts,
and the Resolutes hold the streamer for Name.
The Maine club was unfortunate in having only
six of the regular. nine, and played with three
new men. The game was called at p. m. and
closed before 5, exhibiting most spirited play
ing, as the smallness of the score will attest.
A large body-of spectators from the city were
in attendance and the interest in the game
was intense, especially after the Unas got their
start, and the Resolutes were putting forth their
best efforts to overtake them. There were sew
eral very brilliant plays, especially in the field
ing, which called forth warm applause from
the spectators. The pitching on both sides was
remarkably fine and made the batting very
difficult. The Resoiutes were little weak in
battiug, but their fielding was splendid. The
Unas played we'll in all respects. Neither side
has ny.reason to be ashamed Of the work. as
the game was holly and handsomely contested
throughout. This afternoon the U nas play the
White Stockings of Deerng on the same
grounds. The Charlestown club seems to be
composed OF very likely men, and they attract
ed general favorable attention and comment
by their good bearing and conduct as well as
their fine playing. We append the score:

was granted and she departed. Since that time
the child bias not been seen. The woman re-
turned on Wednesday morning with her arms
covered with blood, and cool1 at the time give
ne account of herself. She was placed under
arrest, aud told a rambling story to Commits
sioner Jensen to the effect that when the boat
reached New York, and while she was waiting
for it to return to Green Point, two men came
10, and after blindfolding her carried the child
off and dragged her on shore. They then
crossed some other ferry and were taken to a
dingy house, where the handkerchief was taken
from her eyes. The child was carried away,
and on her making an cutlery they cut her on
the arms. She finally escaped and got back to
New York, from where she returned to Green
Point No credence is placed in the story, and
the police are investigating the affair.
The Brooklyn Scandal.
The Brooklyn Eagle states positively, firstl
that Beecher has not been in Boston since he
left Brooklyn on his vacation; second, that he
has not at any time inaugurated any move
ment for a compromise of his cease" in any way
with anybody nor entertained any intention to
that end; third, be has done nothing in any way
to secure the suppression of any statement
which any party or parties to the scandal may
see fit to make; fourth, nor has any friend of
Beecher recently, ror so far as we know at any
time, done anything at veriance with the policy
he has pushed since the Investigation was set
on foot.
