THE MATCH GAME.

Delmoi's Saturday The day was fine
and the consequence was that every kind
of vehicle WAS placed in requisition to
convey people to the ball grounds. A
train Of the Nevada Central, consisting
OF three ore cars. two fat cars and the
caboose, went to the grounds completely
packed; there could not have been five
more persons gotten on the train. There
were forty persons on the engine alone.
We saw one youth straddle the Iron
horse" but concluding the boiler did not
contain ies-water. he very quickly dis.
mounted. On arriving at Demoi's o
couple of hours were spent in dancing
and eating lunch. At about 2 O'Clock
the visitors wended their way to TIE
ball grounds. which were as level as
table and as fine grounds for playing
base ball as We ever saw. The Chloride
Club won the toss for Umpire. and chose
J. F. Ryan. Promptly on time the
nipss. led by their Captains. Eugene
Howell and Thompson Campbell. were
ready for the contest for the purse.
The Bristol Club led off with first in.
ming and succeeded in scoring one be-
fore losing the bat. The Chloriders
made one run.

Fourth-This inning the Bristol boys
succeeding in scoring bung-hole, while
the Chloriders showed some excellent
playing, scoring 13 runs.
Fifth-Bristol 2, Chloride /.
Sixth-In this innings the Bristol Club
commenced some flrst-class work, scor.
ing s and withdrawing the Chloriders.
Seventh-The sixth inning gave the
Bristol boys confidence and they entered
on this inning with more hope than
they had had previously. They held this
inning long time, seven out Of the nine
making two runs each, Collins scoring
one, the total score made being IL. The
Chloriders then took tho bat, and as the
score Of the game then stood even, they
knew that they must do some good WORK
to keep ahead. Pierson led of and dur.
ing the inning made two runs, Joe Good
rich also scoring two, Whitney Good
rich, Campbell, Whinnens. Spsnhock
and Geer making each one. This placed
the runs nine in favor of the Chloride
boys, their acore being "a to 25 for the
Bristolisns.
Eighth. - In the eighth inning the
Bristol Club succeeding in scoring five
runs. when the Chloridsrs took the bat.
Whinnens made scor-, Poujade reached
his second base and Geer reached the
first. when McSnane. of the Brlstol's,
called for the judgment of the Umpire
on his having put out Gs-r. Toe Um-
pirs decided that Geer was not out. At
this McShane threw down the ball and
declared the club should play no more
then the Captain and members OF the
Bristol nine came In of the field The
Umpire gave them fifteen minutes in
which to resume the game, and they no,
doing so, declared the game in favor OF
the Chloride Club At the decision
some of the Bristol Club tried to bull
dose the Umpire and showed spirit a,
the loss of the game, which, to say the
least, was very ungsntlemanly.
We heard disinterested parties, who
cared for neither one side or the other
and who claimed to be in good position
; to see, say that Geer was not out, while
others say be was. McShane appears
to b. q chronic GROWER, and growleG
from the beginning to the breaking uK
of the game. After the game he ad
