tsated- Brilliant Playing on Both Sides
| Notes aud Gosstps.
Yesterday afternoon the Defiance base
ball club Of Philadelphia, played the Quick
step on the Adams street grounds. The
playing began at $40 with the Quickstep
batting. The game was brilliantly played
throughout by both clubs, and only few
errors were made. The Qutcksteps led up
to the seventh inning, when the Defiance got
ahead by one run.
Miller pitched to the end of the Sixth, but
he was batted most too we'll, 90 Evans, who
had been playing right field, was called in.
He was still suffering from the recent iDju-
~ done his finger, and the pitching he did
could not be called first-class, still It had tho
effect to stop the heavy batting which tho
visitors were doing. Holbert caught with
bis usual excellence. Mccartney caught for
the Defnence, and notwithst aDdine the fact
that he was hurt in the early part of the
game by being struck In the face with foul
boil, did it in a praiseworthy manner.
Dickerson, played at second, and was as
active as usual. During the game he made
three-base hit. The following is the score
by innings:

The practice which Wilmingtonians who
visit the base ball grounds, have formed of
calling out to the umpire, and criticising
his decisions, not only shows want of
good sense, but is both disgraceful and rude.
