The Quicksteps, again yesterday; played

and their frieisds arrived in Reading at noon,
but found NO one to meet them and were COM

In the fourth inning the QuickstepS sue
ceeded in getting Clinch TO Sd, but Fowzer
popped out at center and he was not allie TO
get home. The Actives went out in one,
two. three order.
In the fifth innings the Quicksteps were
sent to the field without run, aud the
home club did not fare any better.
The sixth inning proved blank for both
mines. and in the seventh the Quickstreps
were goose-egsed, while the Aetives got in
one run.
Then came the fatal eighth, and the Quick
steps were again treated to goose egg. tut
the Actives by frequen' and exaspera,inS
errors succeeded amid the widest excite
ment in adding five runs to their score and
the game was tied.
At this point the spectators became ire
mendously excited. and when the 9th ill.,
nings opened, the interest was almost terri
BILE. yelling. tossing of hats. and tremendous
cheers. Kisses and groans greeted both mines.
The Quicksteps did some good batting but
the balls seemed to fall exactly in the hands
of the fielders, and they retired with
blank. When the Activcs went to the bat.
the excitement was at boiling heat. and
when they were in turn treated to a goose
egg. it was almost impossible TO check the
crowd from rushing on the grounds.
Hindle opened the tenth inning by a fly TO
right and was retired, Lafferty by fly to
pitcher and Stidham by one TO center.
Davis opened for the Actives by fly to
Clinch. which was well taken. and Warner
was also retired by liner to second. Smith
hit to right and by error made second and
was brought in by Rassler who knocked to
Stidham and by error made first, but Stott
was retired by hard fly to Fisher. One
run.
There was no disturbance on the grouud
and everything passed off well.
The game was an excellent one in many
respects. but was lost in the eighth inning
by frequent errors of the Quicksteps, allow
ing the Actives to get five runs.
The following is the score by innings:
3 : 4 8 @ 10
