Roanes-DaltOn, 2; Carly, I; Cot

The Reds were at the bat
first, and. as Will be seen,
made good start, scoring 3
on the first. Some fine playing was
gotten in on the next two, but on the
fourth the Reds agai.l scored three and
the Roanes two. In the midst of the
fourth shower of rain came up, and
time was called for few minutes,
when it again ceased and the game
proceeded. The Roanes got Ia another
on the fifth, but for the next three in
pings the playing was very fine and
not a score was made. Intense inter-
est then eentered on the fnal inning,
and the Roanes made two, giving a
result OF to 8. bees T- =
Walker, of the Reds, made decidedly
the finest play in the game, taking in
a long fly on the run, making the
catch with one hand, and again on a
fearful long throw, which was taken
by Hunt, putting out the runner.
Sneei, with his celebrated curve
pitching. was the main stay of the
game, making a good record, while
Hunt, the ever reliable catcher, was al
ways there, and never failed to TAX g
them In. His record was unspotted.
Houk, on first base, never let a
ball pass, under any circumstances,
and the game finally hinged on one
of his many fine catches. Mcmillan
the universal favorite Is "Iittle but he's
loud" and sustained his reputation
fully. Rule made the first tally and
otherwise scored an excellent record.
Capt. Condor is decidedly the right
man in the right place and made an
excellent reputation. ##. .-.-E
The Roanes are, without an excep-
ton, tip top players. COttrell as catch
er is equal to a rock wall, they never
pass him. Dalton puts them in rs
pitcher, like shooting them from q
rifle. He knocked the finest BAH of the
game, long one, entirely over the
left fielder's head. They also did
other excellent batting. Carly pitched
the last five inning, and IL was owing
to his excellence in that line that the
Reds did not make a tally during that

Everything considered, the game
was really a very fine one for anna
tours, and ELECTED the most intense
interest from the spectators. Every
good point by our boys was greeted
with shouts from the. crowd, but
at the final decision there was
q spontaneous and deafening applause
from every quarter, and they were
literally overwhelmed with congratu-
lations. 1t is indeed victory they
may justly be proud of, for they were
certainly pitted against players. In
! fact, this Is the first time the Roanes
! have ever been beaten. 90 #-.. -#.fE
Although highly elated over their

/ disposed TO crow over the defeated
Roanes, and the Roanes, on the other
hand, though naturally enough low
spirited over their defeat, still bore II
like men. The Reds gave, with a
hearty gusto, three cheers for. the
Roanes, and also for the umpire, and
all returned to the city in high spirits
Upon their arrival the two mines, to.
gether with other friends, were taken
to Schubert's popular restaurant and
were served up to a splendid supper
with the compliments of our worthy
aud enterprising fellow-citizen, Mr.
NJ. J. Condor. .,,.-..---..
We can not close without speaking
OF Mr.. Moses umpiring. He certain
~ made for himself q character, and
his rulings gave entire satisfaction tC
all parties. Not an accident or any
thing of the kind occurred to disturb
the game. ASST
This sets the two clubs even, the
Roanes having beat our boys at Chat
tanooga on, the Fourth. The fina
deciding game will, be played a
Athens, halfway ground, though thu
time has not yet been settled upon
