Our Boys Defeat the Uticas and Narrowly
Escape Being Mobbed.
The Nationals played off their tie-game with
the Uticas yesterday, winning easily by a score
Of to 8. In the game of yesterday SO sharp
was the fielding of "our boys" that Utica
could only squeeze In one run up to the
eighth inning, while the Nationals obtained
seven. In the eighth they let down in their
play, and as consequence Utica obtained four
runs Since Mr.. Scanlon went East and took
temporary charge of the nine wonderful
improvement has taken place, and tho boys
have won game after game under his careful
coaching. He left his business unexpectedly
and to some extent against the wish of his
family, to Join the club and see If the
downward course could not be checked, aud he
accomplished it. For such self-dcnial he de-
serves we'll, not only from the club, but at the
hands of his and the clubs friends.
Tho following is the score of the last game
by innings:
re 3 a565 SO
Utica ................. 0 l 0 0 0 4 O. 5
The Nationals made 10 base.hits to the Uticas
8, and errors to their g.
Immediately after the Nationals took the
lead both the Uticas and the crowd commenced
to grumblc, and theii growls changed to threats
as defeat for them became certain. After the
game ended their shameful conduct eliminated
in an attempt to mob the Nationals, which was
only prevented by the latter invoking the aid
aud protection of the police. Take the circum-
stances all the way through while the Nationals
have been away and since the New Bedfor
games, and excepting those with the Hop
Btters," it looks strongly as If q combination
existed among the Northern clubs to defeat the
Nationals, by fair means or foul, and thus de-

The interest in receiving the news Of the
game has not abated, and the returns by In
nings are announced from nearly dozen differ
ent places In tho city. The crowd yesterday
blocked the thoronghhre at Ninth and ID
streets, studying the bulletiu-board in front of
scanlon's, and when victory for the Nationals
was assured the cheers aud hurrahs were
deafening By winning this game the Ma
tionals make their score of games won while OH
the tour exceed these lost by one. They will
| play the Utlcas again this afternoon aud theu
| 60 to Albany, when comes the tug of war.
Tie Rochester Sunday Herald speaks in the
following complimentary manner of I" our
club:'
| On Thursday last the famous Nationals Of Wash
ingon arrived IN the city to contest with the Hops
| for the championship games. They too had beer
unfortunate during the first part of their trip bu
| lately commenced to redeem themselves So that
| they have won every game they have played fol
| five times in succession and the prospects are they

| set of ball men, and though in uniform they pre-
| sent quite solid appearance-are not heavy mct
by any means. Yet they are all powerful batterS
| unequaled by any club except the Albanys who
have played here, and we really think taken as
whole, they are ahead of that cl'J for some SAT,
base-esrniig. Evidently each man works TO vii
and plays ull he knows hOw-each member Of thI
nine knows how pretty well, too.
The Stars, of the West End, yesterday de
feated the Potomscs by score of toe. This
is the third victory OF this club.
A large crowd witnessed the game yesterda,
afternoon, on the National grounds, between
the Philadelphia and Baltimore clubs. Th'
lads from the City of Brotherly Love" wer
too strong for the Baltimoreans, however, ant
sent them to Chicago, the figures being to
