ACTIvEs vs.. QUICKsTEPs-THIRD GAME or
| THE SECOND SERIES-DISGUSTING GAMR
ERROR UPON ERROR-THE QUICKsTEPs
| OUT BATTED AND OUT FIELDED. '!GN
Yesterday the third game of the second
series between the Actiyes of Reading and
the Quicksteps of this city was played in the
presence of about fifteen hundred spectators
including many ladies. 0 The game from be-
ginning to end was one sided affair: the
Quicksteps making error upon error. It is
apparent to every one that the nine is be-
coming disgustingly careless and many were
the expressions in their disfavor. We mnst
say the nine has had too many games to
play in succession, and several of the reeu-
lar nine are sick or disabled. Owing to this
i. is but just to be somewhat charitable.
Yesterday, Taylor of the Peabodys was sub
stituted at first, and Kelley for while short
stop; and in the fifth inning Brady was put
in as pitcher, with Lafferty short. 49,
lnthe sixth inning Fowzer sustained a
very painful wound, having the nail of his
little finger bursted open i; afterwards he
played short and Lafferty second, At the,
ending of the ninth inning Taylor was pre-
sented by the Live Oaks, with very beau
tiful bouquet. =
