EIGHTEEN TO o.
Such is the Record of the
Base Ball Game at Kan
sas City Yesterday.
The Red Stockings Of That
City Chicago" the.
Browns of Sedalia.
A Bad Defeat for Our Boys.

With all the buoyancy of youth and the
highest of expectations possible, the
Brown Stockings, Of this city, boarded the
earl, train yesterday, Tor Kansas City, to
play a match game of base bail with
the Red Stockings of that city.
Despite The TACT that the latter club has
quite reputation for fine playing, il bav-
ing defeated several crack mines this season,
the Browns had a very good sized giimmer
OF hope that they would return
home with victory on their
banners and laurel wreaIhs on their manly
brows. But YOU can't NEST ALWAYS tell
about these little lhirgs, and it often hap
pens that "the best laid schemes If mice
aud men gang alt agile" rs "Bobbie"
Burns has expressed il.
Thus ii was Yesterday, and the defeat of
the Browns i'll the city ON the kaw, was as
bad as that which overlook a couple of
CLUBS at Sicher's park, one Sunday after
noon, when the boys were visited by the
sheriff and constable of Petiis county,
armed with writ for their arrest, sworn
out by gentleman whose name begins
with an ).
From the Kansas City Times the follow
ing account Of the game is taken:
The Kansas City Red Stockings admin
istered n terrible drubbing to the Sedalia
base ball club, yesterday afternoon, defeat
ing them by a score OF eighteen 10 moth
ing. The gspe, which took place at
Athletic park, was witnessed BY several
hundred SPECTATORS, aud, SO lar as the
home club was concerned, finely played
throughout Mr.. Forrest. one OF the late
acquisitions, pitched in pla Of Mr..
HuIchison, ami 80 splendid!y did he do his
work that the visitors made but one base
hi, during the entire game. Two men
only reached first base, and one only saw
second. The catching Of Elli"k, and the
entire home club, was remarkably good,
while their batting was safe aud free. Fol-
lowing is the score:
1884 7S9
Sedalia ........O 90 o 1000 o. 0
Kansas City ....O D d 4 / 3 2 lis
| Attention il called to the brevity of this
account, which, of itself, goes TO show that
the game was dull one. The reporter
who made it must have felt that there was
was not enough spirit displayed to war
rant a further encroachment on the valu-
able space of the paper which employs his
valuable services, hence a total lack OF
those minute details which generally appear
in print.
As there was not run made by the
Browns a cipher will suffice for their
record. They cipher better showing, no
doubt. but the cold, cruel, demand oil truth
is that none be given them.
A BAzoO reporter interviewed a number
of the Brown Stockings, trying to lind the
cause of their defeat. One OF them SAYS
some heartless wretch cut holes in their
bats, and that the balls went through
them. Another one says the main reason
is that the Kaw boys always got in the
way of the balls as they came from Che
bats, and would not let them touch the
ground, while another gentleman, who is
probably prejudiced, says the reason is
plain that the Kaw bows were the best
players. Whatever was the reason the
Brown Stockings were beaten, and beaten
badly, and it is not the province of
the BAzoO to kick them while they
are down. They deserve credit for facing
their opponents like men, and getting no
worse a score than D.
The following is a list of the players who
made up the
BROWN STOCKING CLUB:
r. c. King, manager Newton, catcher ;
Hulland, pitcher; Kelk, first base Green,
