StfI Another Defeat for the Atlantics-
The Hartford Club Walk Away with
Them 10 the Tune OF to 1.
Notwithstanding the game between the Hart
ford and Atlantic clubs, which was played on
the Union Grounds Brooklyn, yesterday After
noon, was well advertised, only few specta-
tors assembled within the enclosure TO witness II.
This fact Is easily accounted for. Both clubs have
been playing exceedingly bad or late the At
lantcs having been "whitewashedr twice and de.
ieated four times IN succession, While the men
from the Nutmeg state have lost every game they
have played since they lett home ON tour running
through about two weeks. Very few expected the
clubs would play good game yesterday, conse.
quently very few attended.
Play was called at quarter past four O'CLOCK
the Atlanucs going first to bat and MIR. Patterson
of the Mutual Club, acting as umpire. The contest
opened beautifully, and until the seventh inning
the play was as sharp and effective as one would
care to see. Farrow led OF for the Brooklyn club
and drove hard liner 10 right field which yielded
him first base. Bond raised the ball among the
clouds, and 1t dropped into Fishers ready hands.
Farrow was still huggng first base very close, EVIL
IDENTITY being afraid OF Hastings ability to put the
ball TO second in case any attempt should be made
to 'steal" down there. But while debating the
subject Dehlman got on the ball hea WHY, and il
raised like rocket and gave every promise OF
dropping midway between lett leld and short STOP
Farroa broke for second base, ana Just as he was
settling himself comfortably on the bag Barlow
took the bah IN out OF the damp and passed 1t to
first base Ike shot. IL was a neat double play
and brought forth considerable display OF appre-
clatlveness rom the lookers-on.
Tine Hartford boys now essayed TO BAT. Barlow
hit the bali down TO his ieet ana Harrow sent 1t
spinning TO first base ahead OF the runner. Mills
gave Booth an riunity TO show how easy 1t IS
to take pretty ny IN lett held, and then all hands
changed about again. The Atlantics got IN base
MT IN the next inning. but tue runner. West failed
in too freely. But. then. lair play is pretty play,
and the Atlantics returned the compliment hand
somey when their opponents took up the ash.
Not one OF their players was allowed to reach first
base ahead OF the bali. The tn I'd inning was but
repetition oil the first two; but in the fourth the
visitors oroke the ice ana on single base hit got
a man around the circuit of the oases. Farrow's
bad throwing 10 second and thlrd bases did the
WORK. The Atlantlcs did not score TIL the sixth
inning, and. although they had been favorites in
the pools, 1t certainly looked ior long time as
ing OF white wash. Finally, however, in the sixth
inning, Booth got his base on three balls, aitcr
having been badly missed by Hastings on a loul,
took second on wild throw by Hastings
to Addy and came home on liner by
Farrow to lett field. That liner was fortunate
thing for the Brooklyn Toys. A dropped lily by
Booth, poor throwing by Fafrow and Haues and u
three base hit by Barlow 10 right field secured two
runs lor the Hartforos in the fifth inning, but III
the sixth how they aid get mold Of Bondl Boyd,
Addy, Schaner Barlow, Hastings and Mills each lit
on the ball with tremendous outlay Of muscle and
each drove 1t like whirlwind down between lett
anu centre field and out OF reach Of the Aelders.
The result was the scoring OF five runs tour OF
which were well earned. The jig was not hope
lessly up for the Atantics, who, nevertheless,
played quite steadily the remainder OF the game,
banking their lively opponents in One-two-t three
style.
Taken as whole the game did not amount to
much, still 1t is more than doubtful II anyone went
away rom the grounds feeling that he had no {
been repaid for attending. OF the individual play
West and HOdes bore Off The palm for the Atiant cs
and Scnaiier and Hastings showed TO advantage
Oh the other side. Farrow did some heavy batting
for the Atlantlcs, but all the others on that side
the house ialleo TO punish Fisher.
The score is as lOllOWS:-
