THE QUICKsTEP AND DIAMOND sTATE-A
CRUSHING DEFEAT-OTHER GAMES IN
WILMINGTON-GENERA NOTES.
The game yesterday between the Quick
step and Diamond State, both of this city,
attracted very large and enthusiastic as
sembly, about thousond being present.
The game opened brilliantly for the Dia-
mond State, and when they had twice sent
the Quickstep to the field without run the
champions began to fear that the former
virtue of the favoritcs had deserted them,
but after the third inning the game ceased
to be interesting it being simply a walk
away for the Quicksteps. The new club
made fine appearance in their suits of blue
britches, red stockings, white shirts and
white caps. They did some good playing
but exhibited want of practice and disci-
pline, which of course was fatal to their
success. ...T
The Quicksteps went to the bat and hand
ed it over to the Diamonds without scoring;
the latter handed it back to the Quicksteps
very courteously, also refusing to score.
They kept this UP in the second inning. In
the third, the Quicksteps, remembering
their pictures had just been taken, let Geary
have the bat, who sent grounder to short
center and out at first. Stock sent a
grounder to centre and made first. Clinch
got first on called balls. Fisher sent liner
to left centre, making second, with Stock
home. Hildle sent ball to second and
made first, letting Clinch home. Latferty
sent fly out to left, making second, bring
ing home Hindle. Kelly out on foul fly
Splain sent high fly to left field and went
out-four runs.
Lobdell fouled out by the catcher. Will
SOIL, grounder to first, and made it. Wilson
out trying to make second. W. Tatnall
sent grounder to second, out at first-no
runs. So ended the third.
In the fourth nobody scored for the Quick
steps or Diamonds.
The fifth opened with Clinch at the bat,
who sent groundcrto pitcher out at first.
Fisher sent high fly to left field and made
first. Hendle sent liner to centre and
made second, bringing home Fisher. Clinch
hit to pitcher and retired at first. LafTerty
sent a grounder to third and made second.
Kelly sent ball to second and made first,
bringing home Lafferty. Splain made first
and out at second. Three runs.
The red-buskined laddies were BANKED.
In the sixth Clinch, Stock, Hindle and
Lafferty scored for the Quicksteps. Then
came Reynolds, of the Reds, who sent
liner to third and made third by error. Leb-
dell sent short to left, making second,
bringing home Reynolds. Wilson sent
liner to first and retired, Lobdell coming
home on error. Tataall got his first on
strike. Tatnal sent liner to third and
made first Preston, short fly to left, max
ing first. Tatnall out at home plate. Two
runs.
In the Seventh the Quicksteps pulled off
their new coats, and sent the ball wherever
they pleased, runs in pocket. Again
came the Diamonds, Preston leading, Nc
Clery and Brady scoring.
In the eighth the blue.stockings
added six runs Fisher and Stidham carry
ing off bouquets. The Diamonds had no
lustre, failing to score.
The ninth gave the Quicksteps one-the
D. SIS another blank.
The score is as follows:
