Second Game between the Memphis
and Louisville Clubs.
Score Thirteen 10 One la Favor of the
Kentucky Visitors.

mere was SlGEleI large alJSuuAHCo hb
the Olympic ground yesterday to Wit
ness tao second match game between
the Memphis and Louisville clubs.
Much speculation had been INDUCED as
to the probsble result of this game, which
most persons thought would be closer
than the previous days contest. From
the score appended il will be seen that
the game yesterday wss one-sided, the
Louisville club scoring thirteen ana the
Memphis only one. OF course we did
not expect a raw nine to accomplish
much-if, indeed, anything-and there
fCr5 re ara not surprised at yesterdays
game, IoT are We discouraged as to the
future cf the memphis. The two games
have b en- played by raw nine, whose
members FOR the first time met together
when they engaged the Loui7ville club,
However, there are some defects which
need attention, for the sooner the real
faults OF s baseball nine become known
and appreciated, the better for its future
improvement. Tine Memphis nine is
uneven, and affords one or more MEM
bsrs Y no sre hardly able to bat stout
bslls eff. .ctively. This is q fault that
must be remedied by the substitution OF
heavier battsrs. Practice is needed TO
give precise throwing, aud also to steady
the general tendency OF a raw nine. We
need hardly com on yesterdays
game. for anything like fair criticism
would fall harshly upon the feelings OF
players who did the best in their power
to defeat their adversaries. Despite the
uneven score, the playing was quite
spirited, ard, along with errors, was
much to commend aud applaud. Mr..
Chapman, IS umpire, was impartial,
n h
which added very much to the smooth
ness Of tbs game. Toe most brilliant
feature Of the Memphis nine was the
| catching of Ellick.
