Both clubs played under serious dis.
advantage, heavy rain having fallen
just prior to the game, covering tho field
with pools Of water and compelling the
removal Of tho bases to localities not so
badly affected by the sudden overflow.
With 4 dry field and dry ball there
wOnld have been Il better exhibition of
skill by both clubs, and under the cir
cumstances tho play was very credita-
bic. The White Oaks arc by no means
disposed to accept this game as conclu-
sive test of the relative strength Of the
tw" clubs, and will doubtless seek early
occasion to have another bout with the
victorious Burnsitles. They claim that
their nine was not IL best trim, two or
three members being somewhat disabled
by illness or bruises. The next contest
between these crack clubs will be
awaited with much interest in base ball
circles, and there is q general desire here
that tho game should he played in Dom
