BASE BALL.
ROsEDALE vs.. ATLANTIC.


The first game for junior championship be-
tween, the Rosedale and Atlantic clubs was
played on the Olympic grounds yesterday, re-
sulting in favor Of the former. The game was
well played, and the batting of the Rosedale
was very good, as was that Of the Atlantics.
Up to the fourth inning the Atlantic failed to
score, while the Rosedale had put in 8. In
the fourth inning 9 wild throw of the short
stop of the Rosedsle gave the Atlantic their
first two runs, and they increased it to 4 b.
the ending of the same inning, the Rosedale
scoring l. In the fifth the Atlantic scored 8,
the Rosedale 1. In the sixth inning the At
lantic were treated 10 another goose-egg, the
Rosedals scoring !. The seventh and last
inning gave the Atlantic 8 and the Rosedale 4,
thus resulting in favor of the RosedAle by q
score Of 10 to 10. The playing of Nolan and
McKenns, of the Rosedale, and Mari and
Warder, of the Atlantic, was excellent.
The following Is the score:

Yesterday, between 5 and Z O'Clock p. m,
the grove was made vocal with the sweet
songs which were sung at the tent Of the An
napoIis company. Mrs. W, h. Pope, Of Wash
ington; Mr.. and Mrs. Calvert, Mrs. d. L.Won-
ersley, R. II. Willett, Miss Kate Clayton, Miss
Kate Andrews, Miss Lizzie Raymond and Miss
Hattie Goodwin, of Annapolis, who possesses q
voice of singular power and sweetness, were
the principal singers. A large number of
others who were present swelled the chorus to
. rich fullness, which attracted hearers from
all parts of the camp. 1t is seldom that one is
privileged to hear such melody under circum-
stances so pleasant.
Yesterday and to-day have been pay days in
camp. As a consequence the executive com
mittee has been exceedingly busy at '.Ihe
Office" which is the title given the tent where
your worthy fellow-toWnsman, John i.
Mitchell, presides. Everything has business
air as one drops in and diEests himself OF ''the
root of all evil, !" and takes acknowledgment Of
the aforesaid. Talking Of business, there is q
no more essential man on the grounds than
Mr.. Mitchell. He is the Major Richards of
the association, and unites TO his executive
ability the sagacity Of the detective. Among
the little fellows on his force are W. R. Wood
ward, Henry Whalsn, John s. Paxton and W.
H. Craig, Of Georgetown. If you wish TO see
the time of 'Lightfoot Harry" beat, inform
the corps that the gipsies are on the outskirts
Of the camp. To make the search complete,
when the rogues can't be found on the ground
we shake the trees for them. III can get per
mission to go on one of their midnight cruises

It had almost escaped me to say that the
family of Mr.. W. T. Atkinson has arrived, and
occupies an inviting tent in the shade of Sixth
avenue. Mrs. Atkinson is as young looking
and active as ever. Notwithstanding severe
sickness has blanched the cheek, it has not
stolen the dimples therefron, which always
appear in answer to the smile which she ever
wears upon her face. The outdoor air IS be-
ginning to call back health, color and strength.
Her handsome brunettes, Misses Minnie and
Sallie, are as much admired as they were last
year, and their canvas home is seldom without
a visitor.
Mrs. Alice Baxter and her 1axen-haired Mel
lie are spending few days in camp. Though
so modest and unassuming, she is a lady of
such real worth that to be known is TO be ap-
preciated, and Fifth avenue has been more at
tractiVe than ever since she came.
This has been an intensely hot day in the
grove. A refreshing breeze is springing up
about sunset, and the prospects are good for a
cool night. A.Y,L.
