Base BALL.
Again Ttctorious-BaH Netes, Gassss
and Gossip.
The Quickstep amateurs yesterday after
noon played the New Haven club at the
Rodney street grounds. About 500 persons
were present to witness the game, and al
though the Quickstep club has been win
ming golden laurels from Q series of bril-
liant victories, the opinion seemed to prevail
with the audience that the New Haven
boys would be the victors, and many were
quite loud in their Offering to bot. The
illusion, however, was dispelled at the
closing of the last inning, and glance at
the following score:
Innings, 1 2 8 4 scr 8 Q

Q, s. Knowdell made two other errors.
None were made by Quinton.
Fielding errors, @, z; N H,9. Double
Time of game, two hours and thirty min
utes. Umpire, Mr. Al Reach of Philadelphia.
The playing was very close during the
entire game, and for several innings neither
nine made any advancement.
Nickles pitched for the New Ravens and
was almost too scientific for even Talley but
that gentleman managed to get two-base
hit of him, yet the batting was by no means
as heavy as usual.
Bertchell, seemed confident that his club
would win, for which reason he played .
loose game, making several errors, but 1t
was evidently done with view to encour-
age the visitors. Bertchell was better
hearted than usual. Smiley also seemed in
cined that way but Flip" maintained
his stole Indifference, and pitched with his
usual GOODNESS.
The umpire did not give general satisfec.
tion, yet he was allowed to proceed with the
game, which at times was intensely exciting,
owing, no doubt to the close score. Tho
visitors were not free from errors, still their
playing was generally good, and marked by
some note worthy throws. Their short did
quite we'll, playing with remarkable activ-
ity; and indeed, most of the nine did good
| work, the fault only, being, that they did
not excel the Amateurs.
The Baltimore will play this afternoon ct
the Rodney Street grounds. Game called at
o'clock,
The manager of the Peabody nine was
present at the game yesterday, and his ex-
clamation, upon witnessing the result, was
s'I'm glad that did not arrange to play
with the Wilmington fellows"
| One of the New Haven men said that he
didn't want to play that club any more.
Quinton will probably remain with the

net honored with any fys.
New Haven VS.. Klienz at Philadelphia, to-
day. McAleer will pitch for the Klienz,
Curry will play at first base.
McAleer, Curry and Carl paid this city
visit yesterday, to witness the game be-
tween the Amateurs and New Haven clubs.
Mr.. Carl wishes US to state that he never
signed with the Amateurs of this city. He
agreed to play with them providing the
Klienz club, of Philadelphia, would release
him, but they refused to do 80, and there
fore. he is compelled to remain on that
nine.
When. ri the Brooklyn Club come here
West flSler is the only old Athletic man
on the nine.
The Western clubs made money on their
trip to Philadelphia.
Sam Fields has become quite favorite
with the Reading folks.
There are some people who think base
ball will die with the Centennial.
Crowley's catching is spoken of in the
highest terms by the press of the country.
| It is to be regretted that theAthletics will
be away during the first four days in July.
| The Hartford Club are doing all that is
possible to secure the championship, but
spaulding's boys are one too much for them.
Every day that game is played At the
. Rodney street grounds, 800 boys climb into
the neighboring trees, and overlook the ball
field. This is good for the boys, but hard
on the trees. Yesterday one of the boys
, mounted up rather higher than his col
leagues, and ventured cut on limb about
heavy enough to sustain the weight of .
partridge, the result was that the limb loft
the tree, and the boy followed suit.
When Fisher came to Philadslphia he
calculated to astonish every one, but
! he was the most astonishsd to see how bad
ly he was hit.
