THE NATIONAL GAME.

Another Poorly Played but Exciting
Match tho Union GrOunds-The
Mutuals Defeat the PhIladelphlas.
It was well known that the game between the
Mutual and Philadelphia mines which or on
the Union Grounds yesterday afternoon would be
a stubbornly contested affair from Hrst to last as
both mines were determined to win II 1t was pos
sible. The Phladephias had already defeated the
Mutuals three times, and had boasted OF their
ability TO continue winning games from the New
Workers, while on the other hand, the 'Mutes'
were confident of their ability to make way with
the quaker boys II they only got down
to their work in earnest. Then, too, there
seems to be inconsderable degree Of feeling
existing between the two clubs, SO that when they
met on the turcd neld yesterday afternoon it was
for business, and nothing short of it.
The pools sold readily at odds Of so to go in
favor of the Mutuals, but why such was the case
did not appear.
The Mutuals led OF at the bat at ten minutes to
four O'Clock. They did not score however, and the
Philadelphias shared a similar fate. In the Sec
ond inning safe batting by Nelson, Burdock and
Higham. aided by wild throw by Aoldsworth to
nrst base and mur by Craver at second, gave the
Mutuals three runs, but one OF which was earned.
