rOADay-Memphisy vs.. Humboldt.

The Cincinnati ped3 yesterday played
their secord game of base. bali with the
Memphis r sds at Central park. About
six hundred persona, including large
number of laGiss, were present, and the
character of the attendance was far bet
ter than at any previous game. Tie
game Yesterday was the best ever
plsyed by the Memphis Reds, and for
once at least this club has acted like .
well-driIled nine, BATTING finely and
playing well together. Ellick, Of the
Memphis club, caught for the Clncinna-
ii Reds, they taking the bat at half past
three o'clock, with Mr.. John Leech, OF
the Memphis, acting umpire. The game
opened badly for the CiDcinnatians, VINO
retired without q ecore on the first In
ming, the hotne club making one ruu,
ShOupe being the fortunate man, thai Ks
to a muff by Shumatd. Four other in
nings closed with goose eggs for both
sides, VOss, of the CincinDatians, in the
sixth inning o.icg on Rinear's sa'e
fly to center, where LOTUS failed to stop
the ball. The Reds here scored six runs,
two of which were by clear errors, on
which Brookshaw and Shoupe gained
fiTst base. They CANA home, however,
ss did also Luff, by grand strike over
the center fielder's head by Kanne-
dy, who thereby made a home
run. In the seventh inning Maher, OF
the home club, CARED first on 8 safe ny
to center field, stole second on q passed
ball by Ellick, and wss brought home
by Lotus striking safe to right. In the
eight inning Brookshaw was allowed to
reach first base on Fisler's failure to pick
up his ball. and by similar error on
the part of Roll he reached second, q
passed ball by VCss to Roll landing him
at the third bag, whence he came home
on passed ball by Ellick, followed by
Shoupe. In the ninth inning Maher,
being given first base on called balls,
not only went to third, but reached the
home plate on passed balls. Lotus sent
q bounding ball into the field, by which
he reached the first base, and then went
all the v sy refund to third base on passed
balls and wild throwing, and home on
Rsja's strike. Drains muff gave Ken
nedy first base, whence a similar error
allowing him to mako third, he scored
on another wild throw. OF the thirteen
runs by the Reds yesterday, six were
due to errors of the Cincinnatians, who
twice vacated the second base during
the game. Roll, OF the Cincinnatians,
made three running catches In center
field, which were rightly applsuded by
the spectators. Kennedy, of the Mem.
phis nine, made home III ., and brought
In three men, while Luff also made q
two. base hit. Walkers muf at first
base fortunately did not count, as the
side went cut, but Maher, while
running for Luff, gave himself
clean away while trying to make third,
SIS il unmindful of his fatal error on first
base in Sundays game. Walker, too,
repeated negligence of which he was
advised in yts.erday's APPEAL. He
went over second base in the seventh
inning and was thereby put out on judg.
ment. If any man in the United States
can miss base IS far So Walker when
running, we should like to see him
such an individual would be curiosity
worth seeing. On the whole the game
was well played, the only material error
bsing that of Lotus in center field,
whereby Voss, Of the Cincinnati club.
scored in the sixth hiring. 1t
is enough to say that tine spec
tators were well entertained,
aud in fact satisfied, with yesterdays
game. The Cincinnati club, while Ia
boring under the disadvantage of having
three regular men short, did the best
they coIlO. Toe club is composed Of
excellent young men, and we hope this
will not be their last visit to Memphis
We seldom gee nicer set of gentlemen
in baseball nine, and we could not do
the cause more than to ask that every
club be composed of such men. They
lost the game yesterday, but Luff7s
pitching did it; Shumard, Roll and
Newy pitching for the Cincinnatians.
The Memphis nine made eight errors
while the Cineinnatians are accredited
with nineteen. The following is
