WILMINGTON, DEL. TUESDAY, MAY %, 1876

The game at Westchester yesterday be-
tween the Brandywine Amateurs and Quick
step Professionals, resulted in score OF
our to three in favor Of the Brandywines.
The three runs by the Professionals were
all made during one inning. The game
was witnessed by about 800 persons,
and was umpired by Mr.. Al. Hindle, OF this
city, who represents the playing as the
finest of the season, only one passed ball
could be counted against the Brandywine,s
catcher. The playing, however, on both
sides, the result shows, must have been
very close, and really excellent.
The Professionals play the Elizabeth club
of Philadelphia, this afternoon at the
Adams Street grounds. Game called at )
O'Clock. Tomorrow the same club will
play the Louisville League Nine, OF Louis
Vile, KY, at their grounds. The report
