SPLENDID GAME, YEsrERDAY-THE QUIcKsrRPs
BEAT THE MEDIA oLuB-scoRE TO 4.
Since the defeat of the Quicksteps at Chester
by picked nine, considerable interest has been
manifested in tho result of the game between
the Quichstep and Media clubs, as it was known
that at least three OF the Chester picked nine
were to play in the contest Of yesterday. 1t WAS
not Surprising, therefore, to find large num-
Der of people ut Schutzen Park.
At O'Clock tine game began, the Media club
being sent to the bat, aud were retired with
blank. Tie compliment WAS returned to the
Qricksteps. The second inning gave tho Me-
dias ono run and the Quicksteps were again
BANKED. while i'll the third inning both clubs re-
tired with thanks.
A novel feature OF the game WAS the sending
the result OF every three innings to Media,
distance of about 16 miles, by carrier pigeons.
The score of the three innings was noted on
piece of paper and carefully tied around the
Diid's neck, when the first WAS let loose to md
its own way home. The bird darted swiftly
OF in a contrary direction, and then circled up
into the air. uhli 1t apparently cav some ismiliar
object, when it struck III d bee line Tor IL Win
the score OF ! run for the Media and none for
the Quickstcp. 1t may be imagined that the re-
suit OF he iirst message though favorable, gave
tho Medisns but little cause for rejoicing.
The fourth inning gave another blank to the
| Mediars when the Quicksteps, 10 II tired OF
| such payii1, scored TOUR runs. The visiting
| club, If not before, now found they had foe
| ran worthy of their steel. The fifth inning
adeod ttHlng to the score Of either club, while
| the sixth gave ore more - TIE Quichstops, and
sret' a. Carrier pigeon took the news home OF 3
| runs Tor the Quickstep and for the visitors.
The seventh inning more favorable to the
/! Med ans, gave them two runs and the Quicksteps

and Tie nomo club blank. The Quicksteps be-
| in, only tVl Anesa 10 ninth inning, the Wis.,
