BRAVE MEN AT THE BAT.


A AREMARKABLE GAME OF BASEBALL
Astounding Score Of the Veteran Players OF
Yonkers-The Surgeons Care for the
Wounded-A Hotel Mans Misfortune.
New York Times.
Undoubtedly ono of the most remarkable |
games of baseball ever witnessed in the |
United States was played in the Palisade |
Mountain house grounds, by the Veteran |
baseball club of Yonkers. 1t is safe to say |
that not one of the many spectators present |
ever saw. or heard of such an exhibition of |
science. In some respects it exceeded the |
widest hopes of even the oldest members
of tho organization, who all declared
themselves more than astonished at it's
issue. Arriving on the ground at $50 a.
m, the club, according to its yearly Gus
tom since its organization in 1873, pro-
ceeded to clam bake, by way of toning
its muscles up to the necessary pitch. At
this were present the Hon. Henry +. Bre-
wort, president the Hon. +. A. Nichols,
first vice president; Col. Joseph l.. Pro.
seus, second vice president James Stew
art, third vice president, (the other ~
vice presidents were unavoidably absent,
having been unable to secure bail , George
w. White, grand secretary f. o. Car
pcutcT, SEAuu tIcdouIOi odSoo A>S@>',
grand caterer DR.. Horace B. Pike, grand
surgeon the Rev. c. Z. Allison, grand
chaplain, and the Rev. John Read, first
assistant chaplain. (The 30 sub assistant
chaplains unfortunately were on special
missionary service in Timbuctoo.) There
were also AZ members present. The &c
mainder, if any, had permanent engage
ments at a public institution a few miles
above Yonkers. The efforts of the grand
caterer to corner the clam market for this
particular bake had proved unsuccessful,
and only about 27O barrels of the fruit had
been secured. In the competition which
followed Judge NJ. II. Ellis scored 10
trays of chOwder in II minutes, followed
by 13 trays of clans. He complained of
not feeling well when beginning his heroic
struggle, and merely said he would take a
few clans to sort of stimulate his appetite.
He won the first prize however. Judge }.
p. Sanders coming in second with chow
ders and 12t trays of CLAIMS in . minutes.
The clans having disappeared, and there
being nothing else to eat visible. the pres
ident called the club to order aud directed
that the annual game shoald al "ncc be
commenced, for it was then II clock,
and as dinner was IL j, there was scarcely
time enough for each side to have an in
ming. The presido:t had :: few minutes
before tried to kicI. fup' ball with his
eye, and was able only t. take a ono sided
view of affairs. The .idcs were then
chosen as follows:

The first nine won the toss and took the
field. Mr.. Roland pitched the first ball SO
skillfully as to take tho umpire in the
eye. In his surprise the umpire forgot to
call the ball, and it was not marked.
Then Capt. Herriot knocked a sky-s -scraper
to centre.field, which Rockwell, assisted
by Stewart, Allison and Dusenbury, clev-
erly muffed. Pendreoth went out on
strikes, during which Herriot stole second
and BrevOOrt went to the bat. On his
thirty first strike he knocked the ball to
Otis, who neatly stopped it with the pit of
his stomach, and made a double play by
caroming on Nichols eye and Mackaye's S
ear. BY the time Waring, on first base,
had caught tho ball, Bravoort was home
having private take with the umpire.
At LEO the last man was declared out by
the vampire, and the sick, wounded and

The effect OF this simple South American
remedy was wonderful, and those blind in
one eye saw as if with two eyes u mn-
utes after taking it, the lame could sing,
and the deaf walk, nearly as well as be-
fore. The game was then resumed, the
first nine going to the bat. During this
inning the umpire, Justice Sanders, dis
tinguished himself. AS all umpire of
baseball he is without an equal in the
country.o 1t is no exaggera:ion to say that
he can umpire as well with his eyes shut
as open. 1t is impossible for him to err.
In numerous cases yesterday when every
player and spectator thought they saw
clearly that a man was out, his eagle eye
detected that he wasn't, even when he
was apparently looking in arother direc
tion. Old baseball cxpei.i wept with
emotion over even the Simplest of his vcr-
diets, and when he decided that ball
which struck rooster wandering near
centre field was fowl, they declared
that if he were employed at league games
he would make sensation. During the
second inning the only serious casualty
was the striking "f a lot of innocent clans
concealed about President Brevoort by a
red-hot ball from ex-Mayor Otis, who, in
the excitement Of the moment, made a
home run. Surgeon Pixies infall.bic lotion
was Immediately applied, and the presi-
dent in few minutes recovered sufficient
ly to borrow s. from the Rev. k!r. Allison,
who was unfortunately preser: 7: 3:45
