THE BALL GAME.

Contrary TO all expectation, the second
game al ball between the West End club,
Of 81. Louis, and the Sedalia club, resulted
in more disastrous defeat for the latter
than the first game, the score standing II
10 q i'm a game of six innings. We do net
know how this can be accounted for in
any other way than that our boys allowed
themselves to becyue ratified and discour-
aged in the early part of the game, and
seemed unable to Withstand the heavy bat
ting of the ST. Louis nine.
The decentralization of the Sedalia nine
was greatly increased by the accident which
befel Mason in the early part of the other
game. as more depended on him than any
member of the nine He had not fully re-
covered from the wound received over his
eve In the game at Jefferson City, and
complained i'm the outset that he
could not see we'll enough to catch.
The cut he received in the
mouth, while not serious was painful
enough to seriously interfere with his
efficiency as player Added to this mis-
fortune Gallivan, who had superseded
Mason as catcher, had finger stove up,
and Fowler was knocked down and quite
severely stunned by a ball from the
pitcher,
But Notwithstanding these mishaps it
wes evident that the West Enders
were little too much for our
bows. although they had no soft snap. The
Sedalias contested every inch of the ground,
winning the respect of their opponents by
their skill and pluck, and yielding grace
fully and good naturally to the newt
able.

James Mcdonald, of St. Louis, as umpire.
