now in session here.
The game OF base ball between the Favor
lite Stars and ParkersburgS, both city clubs,
which took place on Thursday afternoon,
was the most exciting and interesting game
ever played in this city. The crowd OF
spectators was immense, and represented
all branches of business and professions in
the city. The score stood & to 3 in favor OF
the Favorite Stars. Mr.. White, brother
of A. Il. White, OF the Journal,
acted as pitcher for the ParkersburgS,
and fully sustained the reputation
already achieved by the gentlemen
as pitcher OF the first order Mcfarland
as catcher performed his part well, and the
nerve displayed in standing before Whites
balls won the admiration of the spectators,
a. il was almost equal to catching forty
pound ball thrown from cannon. Prot.
Featon as first baSeman, deserves more than
a passing notice. Fred SChafer rs catcher
for the favorite stake, and the pitcher, Lewis
Riser, and first baSeman, w. Mann, also
deserves special mention. The
best field bat was made by
Mr.. Blake. prominent young law stu
dent with Leonard & Caldwell. Mr.. i. also
displayed fine running ability. Pat Dolan
caught hot ball so We should judge from
the way in which he dropped it. Try
again, brother Dolan and you will become
a base ball player. The only incident
which married the pleasure OF the occasion,
was the injury of little Charley Southworth
OF the Sixth ward. A ball hot from the
bat struck him on the cheek and inflicted
very ugly and painful flesh wound The
little fellow was kindly cared for and taken
home by Capt. John J. Barrett.
Mr.. Ditman all old resident of Parkers'
burg, is reported in a dying condition at
the residence of his son, Geo. Ditman, of
this city.
