NINE LITTLE GOOSE EGGS.

Match dame Of BaII-scOTe 80 o.
Although the weather was quite
cold, aud raw-wind prevailed, quite
n number OF spectators congregated to
zee the long talked Of match between
a regular professional nine and the
Dallas club. About half past two
the club arrived, and at 1915 the gam
was called. Mr.. j, o. Julien, Of the
indianapolis club, was chosen umpire.
The visitors won the toss, and sent
Dallas to the bat. The following are
the names OF the Dallas club, who
played, and their positions Myers,
second base; Fields, rlght.held; Levy,
third base and captain; Mitchell, left
field Atkinson, pitcher; Lawler,
short-stop; Hall, center-feld; Flynn,
st'base; J. G. McNealus, scored for
Dallas, and Charles IL. Yohn, for
indianapolis.
First inning-Myers went to bat;
out on three strikes. Field hit the
ball, but was gobbled before he got to
first, and Levy, retired OH three strikes
One gOose-egg for Dallas. The visitors
then went to the bat, and knocked
things crazy-they made four tallies.
Hinckley and Levy, Of Dallas, making
good catches.
Second inning-A repetition of the
goose.egg Tor Dallas.
1t was perfectly useless to make a
report of the game, as the
visitors handled our boys as they saw
fit, and could have made as many
tallies as they desired to. The only
| hope for Dallas was that her club
would make one tally, but this they
failed to do, and only succeeded in
reaching the second base in the entire
game. This was done twice, once by
Hinckley and once by Flynn. The
visitors demonstrated the fact that they
understood base ball, and their pitcher
is as hard to hit as Bradley, OF last
years Browns, of st. Louis. He sends
II ball with twist to it; the striker
thinks ii is going to hit him, but just
before it reaches the home plate ii
curves to one side, just out of reach OF
the strikers bat. They good-naturedly
let Themselves be put out after making
"a score OF so to 00O00O000, as they were
in hurry to catch the train going
south tonight. 1t would have taken
the Dallas boys at least u week to have
gotten them out, had they desired to
remain In. The home club, while not
making any pretensions, still labored
under many disadvantages. Only
three OF the old nine were present, and
this nine had never played together
before. During the game they did
some excellent playing, especially
Levy, while Flynn, who was the best
last year, did not sustain his previous
reputation.
The game lasted two hours and a
half, and the receipts at the gate were
about fifty dollars, which goes to the
visitors. The Hoosiers speak very
highly of their treatment while here,
and seemed much pleased with their
visit. Dallas wishes them success
wherever they 20.
ACCIDENTS.
During the fifth innings OF the match
game, Mr.. Quest, of the visiting club,
struck II foul ball very hard, which hit
q boy, about fourteen years of age,
named Gray Henry, on the head, with
terrible force. He tainted, and some
OF the bystanders ran to pool OF
water and brought some in their hats,
with which his head was bathed. He
recovered consciousness and was taken
home.
Toward the middle of the game n
ball, going with tremendous velocity,
hit lady il a carriage, but fortunately
her clothes stopped Its force. Had II
struck her on the head, no telling
what might have been the result.
In the last innings, a bat slipped out
of Hinckley's hand, and struck little
boy on the leg, and he was borne OIL
the scene.
All of the above casualties occurred
through the eagerness of the crowd to
get close to the players. Base ball is
dangerous, and often severe and fatal
injuries occar from persons getting hit
with the ball.
