CRUSHING DEFEAT OF THE ATHLETICS
THE GAME TODAY.
The Morocco Dressers of William Bush 6.
Co., have challenged those of s. Postles &
Son, to play game of base ball on next
Tuesday week.
The brilliant record, which the Athletic,
made for themselves in their Western tour,
led their friends to hope that another victory
would be added to their list in the game with
the Boston team yesterday, and four thou
sand people assembled at 9th and Jefferson
to witness the discou titure of the visitors,
but when the ninth innings closed, with a
score of 16 to in favor Of the Red Legs:
quite different feeling prevailed.
OF the game nothing need be said except
that the pitching of Manning completely be-
wildered the blue stockings, who batted
Mcbride in a manner that was startling.
The fe, ding of the Athletics would have
disgraced any amateur club in the country,
and the visitors played game that always
wins, this is the explanation in a nut SHE'LL
The defeat was the worst experienced by
the Athletics.
The following is the score:
Innings, 2 3 4 5 67S o
Boston, 5 2 O @ o 1-16
Athletic, o. 0 0 OO.1 o. 1

THOSE MEN OF LEGS AND GOOSE QUILLs-A
FEW PICTURES.
"a The HERALD man stood by q lamp post
gracefully lancing apple cores and orange
peels with the stroke of his silver mounted
cane. "No fire, no murder, no hair
breadth 'scape, nor danger in the imminent
deadly breach,' he was soliloquising,
Heavens what would give for respect
able fire about this time" Raising his
melancholy eyes in which the flames Of des-
peration were about to ignite the whole city,
he beheld on another corner, leaning against
another lampost, another gentleman of his
profession. Proudly he backed the lamp
post and proudly glanced his eyes from under
his turned-downed hat; he evidently did not
see his observer over the way for (matter of
fact) he was seen to call up with wave of
his magic cane, six urchins from the depths
of the gutter. He talked with them for the
space Of one minute, gave each penny and
sent them off on trot. The HERALD man
followed the lads, having some curiosity to
see how speedily a given boy with one penny
will spend said penny for peanuts But, O
ye shades of Greeley! when around the cor
ner off they darted in d body yelling "fire,
fire" as vociterously as lungs can do. The
next evening the paper which No. 2 against
the lamp post represents contained the fol-
lowing item. y 7f..4.... .n..
"FALsE ALARM.-Last evening between
the hours Of 0 and 10 o'clock fire alarm
was given and the varions fire companies
immediately turned out. The alarm fortu-
nately proved to be false"
Here say is bad to 60 by, but one of our
city dailies does this altogether; almost
every local news that it contains comes
through that channel. If the HERALD
man was called upon to personify this
Shear say" he would place before his
readers fine middle aged gentleman, quick
of speech and motion, utterly benevolent of
countenance, curly of hair, stSlwart of
figure and with ''it don't make much diff
ference" twinkle in his eye. A mere son of
commerce could not do all the reporting of
course.
To gaze at it well and report it we'll for an
evening paper another one of the characters
is known. He takes "a roll of paper, a
pocket full of pencils, darts up town until
the Chief is in sight and taking that affable
by the arm walks with the air
Of Judge to the environs of the court. He
rushes along further and sezes one of the
council by the elbow calculating "drop me
that item instanter." At this rate he goes
for an hour; then he finds himself suddenly
at the edge of precipice. Patience on the
