SECOND GAME OF TIE WHITE AND RED STOCK
! 1NGg.
| The second contest in the race 1or tho
championship between the White Stockings and
the Rods. Of Boston, WIS played yesterday after
noon on the Twenty-third street grounds LII tho
presence Of b fine audience, between G,oo0 and
1000 people being present. Tho day was trfle
! too cool, perhaps, for such an EXCESSIVE
! II sedentary occupation rs Sitting down
| III the open air, but the atmosphere Was
| just right for the base-payers. Con-
trary to general expectation. no delay
WAS experienced in the selection of an umpire.
It WAS thought tho Boston men would endeavor
to have good deal Of their own way in tho mat
ter, but they quickly agreed on q man when
names were presented to them. Their choice
| Was Mr.. Tom Foley, an experienced ball-plaJor
Of this city, and his rulings throughout wore
correct aud impartial and gave tho utmost satis-
faction to both sides.
! The homo nino were badly benton, the score
being to against them. and it il gratifying for
| once to know that they have none
| but themselves to blanc for tho
defeat. Their escape from nine
cesBive whitewashes was uncomfortaby
| narrow, and would never have boon accomplish
| ed but for some fatal fielding errors by few Of
| their opponents in the two last innings Of the
| game. The contest, whole. was romark-
ably fine one. It developed immense batting
strength on the part OF the Rod Stockings. and
to their skill in this direction only can the VIC
| tory DO attributed. Their display in the field
| Was no better than that shown by the Whites,
except III ono position viz, third base. Schafer
| covered it for them in magnificent style, aud
| Meyerle didn't como anywhere near covering it
for his nine, four Of the eight errors credited to
| the Whites being the result Of his general
! awkwardncss. He was also deficient at the bat.
| Force played short field without an error. and
! leads tho batting score on his side. Peters, at
second, WAS very effective up to the last inning,
| when ho fumbled ball and allowed run to bo
scored. Davlin's score is not marred by any
| mistakes IN the field. but he WAS not up to his
average ut tho bat. That Zettlein was not at
his best ia plainly told by the batting score OF
| the Bostons, who found no difficulty what
| over in hitting him for si1toen base hits and
| twenty-five total bases. A wild pitch was an
| other evidence Of his uncertain condition. Ma
| lone never caught better than ho did yesterday.

on the part OF Hines, and an excusable muf Of
\ low fly by Glenn. On the other hand, many
brilliant catches we're made, Hines taking tho
| lend in that particular. The batting Of the nine
| was wofully weak, Force being the only man who
could mako decent showing. His hits, unfor-
tunately, camo in at wrong times, and he Was
| left on bases three times.

ed we'll throughout. Spadings pitching was re-
terrific, as was also that OF many OF the others.
| 4 briof synopsis Of the game is all that is
necessary. The White Stockings lost the
toss, as usual, and were sent to bat.
| In the first inning Force and Meyerle
made safe hits, but we're left on thoir bases. Tho
! Dostons scorod IN earned run on = safe hit by

| Reds were blanhea, Hall being the only one to
reach first, which he did in legitimate way. In
the third inning tho Whites we're BANKED again,
though Meyerle got . base on a mun by George
Wright, and Dcvlin ono on safe hit.
George Wright opened for tie Bostons with
long hit to centre field for two bases, but he
| kept on to third when he SAW how alowly Hines
was fielding the ball. Safe hits by White and
| Spalding brought him home. aud added another
earned run to the one already made. Meycrle
| did a!l he could to let in another. making two
| bad plays in tho inning. Tho Whites, in the
| fourth inning. wore put out as they stepped to
| the plate, and the Keds Jared no better as to
| runs, though they got two men on bases by safe
| hits. Tho fifth inning was distinguished by an
error on the part Of George Wright, who gave
Cuthbert base on high throw. Force

BY Gleuu, Zettlein. and Moyerle. the latter max

Whites, three Of whom went out IN rapid sue

This was done after two mon had been

| error of Loonard's, the bases were full, aud
| run OF two, onlv ono being out.
| Fortune decroed otherwise, however, and tho
| audience began to contemplate complete rout
