'QUACK ! 'QUACKI QUACK !"
The Plaintiff Wall Of the "GOOse" In
Heard and She DepOs u
Full Nest of Eggs.
The Standards scoop the Neshan-
nOeks by n Score offs 10 o.

Despite the threatening weather, and
the impression that had gone forth that
our boys were sure to lose, the game at
the grounds OF the Standard club, yes
terdav, was well attended, and excite
ment ran high rs the game advanced.
From the commencement 1t was
apparent that the Standard boys
meant business, and would win
if such thing were possible,
and the result shows bow faith fully they
struggled to accomplish that much to be
desired end. 1t was the first time since
the organization of the Neshannock club
that they have had the goose" to hover
over them for time, and quietly settle
down on the home plate and dish up a
full nest of hard cooked eggs for their
benefit. The 'Nocks have successfully
competed with the leading clubs of the
country the present season, but yesterday,
they were unfortunate. Ii they had
made IA more runs more than they did,
the game would have been lost to our
boys, and we wouldn't "crow worth a
cent" ove.' the result this morning. AS
to how the Standards made their runs,
it probably is not OF any
great cons, quence. Suffice the fact
that they made them, and the
beauty of their fielding was only marred
by two errors. They pasted Weaver for
- bases, and sent their ball to the
uttermost limits of the field. This rat
tied Weaver, in fact the whole OF the
Mock club, all of which had great effect
in keeping them out of the other IA scores
required tor them to win the game. In
the first place the Standards won the toss,
and sent the 'Nocks to the bat, but in a
remarkably short space OF time there
weren't so many "knocks" at the
bat as there had been, Lukens
taking foul and putting out the
third man. The Standards then went
to the bat, and by their hard
batting made three runs. The second
inning neither side made count, but in
the third the Standards again got in their
work and scored four more. The fourth
and fifth, like the second, resulted in
"goose eggs" for both the clubs. The
sixth. however, resulted in our boys
scoring once more, and the same Old
story for the 'Nocks. The seventh and
ninth they were retired without scoring,
the eighth being the last inning in which
they did any good for themselves.
During the latter part of the game,
after the sixth inning, perceptible ner-
vousness was noticeable on the part of
the 'Nocks, and they received each beau
tifully rounded egg with rather weak
attempt to smile and be of good cheer,
and the crowd who were there assembled,
cheered, spplauded, and gave vent to
their enthusiasm IN every conceivable
shape.
The playing of Summers, Wilson, Ven
mum and Mcneil, OF the Standards, was
fine rs was also that of Dickinson, Ellis
and Bennett, of the Neshannocks, and
could not we'll be improved on. The Wis.
itors failed entirely to get away with
Vennum's swift ones, only to send them
into the hands of the iielders. The finest
play of the game was made by Ellis, in
taking in liner to right field, and put
ting out JunkinS.
During the play, Bennett, OF the
Neshannocks, was presented with reiy
BEAUTIFUL boquct, which tnsy, probably,
account for the Nocks losing the game
We give the score IN full that all inter-
ested may see how it is themselves:
