On Saturday last there was a match game of base ball on the Green between the ''Nameless" of Litchfield and the Gunnery nine. The game went on quite evenly for the first two innings; but in the third the Nameless took start of five. blanked their opponents, and from that time averaged some nine runs in each inning, winning the game on total score of 5S to 19.
 The fielding on the part of the Gunnery nine was very good, as thelr record of fly catches indicates. Chapin, their short stop, p,did admirably, ,mufing but one of the many balls that came to him. Rowe made one specially fine catch in the left field. Woodruff and Rowe were the heaviest and most successful batters of that nine; but the batting of the majority was light, to which fact is to be attributed their bad defeat. The Gunnery ground is one that offers a high premium on heavy batting; and the heavier muscle of the visiting club gave them the full advantage of this peculiarity. The play of the Nameless was very good, but most of the work was done by the infield, and the only long fly . taken is to be credited to Judd in centre field. At the bat Cypher. Catlin, Mower, Hale. Richards, Webster and Judd, did admirably. Webster drove the ball far up Brinsmade Avenue. beyond the Church place, Cypher struck a foul over the church; in fact there was as much heavy pounding done by the Nameless as we ever saw in game where the fielding of the opposingclub was anything like sharp. The pitching of Richards was very effec- tive and the catching of Cypher excellent Another game between thesc hines is ex- pected soon. We give the full score be- low:
