cAMDEs,s CRACK TEAM DEFEAT.
ED BY THE QUICKSTEP-
A GREAT GAME.
There were fully 1000 persons n
Quickstep park yesterday to witness tl,e
game of ball between the Merritt ol
Camden and the Quickstep of this city
which proved to be one Of tho bent
games Of ball ever played in this city.
The contest was bitter one, and bosaa
clubs fought for the victory. The audi
ence was wild with enthusiasm as esaa
club was retired without scoring for III
innings. In the seventh Inning Emslte.
for the visitors, made three base his
and scored on q safe hit by Households.
In the eighth inning Cusick, for Tia
home team, made clean hit, reached
first, stole second and third and CANA
home on a passed ball amid loud zp-
plause. The last inning of the homo
team was watched with interest. Eex
grasped the ash and was called out On
strikes, he failing to strike at three
good balls Smiley reached first on .
safe hit, took second on hit of BennaRs
and scored on a two baser by Waltz
Albert was retired at first and Cusick
hit to third, which was fielded hons,
putting out Benners, who attempted To
score.
The last inning of the visiting nine
was watched with bated breath by the
spectators, but they were soon relieved
h<,p ,s,,A n
three order, and the Quickstep were
greeted with cheer after cheer.
When the Merritts were at the bat in
the fourth inning it was supposed that
they would score several runs, as three
men We're on the bases and the heavy
hitters ready to bat. Emslie made 10
short hit to Pyle, who tielded it home
and caught the runner. The catcher
fieded it right to first and caught En-
slie, which made two out and left two
on bases. Householder was the ne1t
striker, and he lifted daisy out in caD-
tire field, which was beautifully taken
by Cusick, and the most remarkable in
ming witnessed for some time closed
The sixth inning was also a very re-
markable one. Only three of the visi-
tors grasped the bat, and were all po-
tired, when but three balls had bean
sent in by the pitcher.
The visitors are credited with five
errors, while the home team only had
two. The Merritts made six hits with
total of eight bases, while the Quick
step only made five with total of six
bases. The game was hotly contested
throughout, and Quickstep stock has
taken sudden rise. McCafferty acted
as umpire, and gave general satisfao-
tion to all concerned, excepting foW
hoodums, who yelled derisively upon
two or three occasions, and on one oc+
casion the umpire stopped the game
and informed the disoraerly spectators
that if they did not observe order they
would be elected from the grounds,
which had the desired effect of keeping
them quiet.
This continual hooting at the umpire
should be stopped at once, for it is dis
grace to the city to havesuch a "gang"
among respectable people. Their ac-
tions are not only disgraceful, but they
will cause the home team to loose d
game sometime, by making the umpire
mad, as he has the power to stop thu
game and award it to the visitors for
such actions as have been carried ON in
the past.

NOTES.
At Milford yesterday the j. H. Apei
nine of that place crossed bats with the
Blue Stockings, of Harrington, for the
amateur championship of the State
The APPEL nine were victorious BY =
score Of 10 to .
The Butcher Boys defeated the Acme
Junior at Newport yesterday afternoon
by score of - to 10 The Acme will
visit this city to play a return game
soon.
To-day the Quickstep will play the
Brooklyn in that city, and tomorrow
the Merritt nine will play its last game
with the Quickstep III this city.
1t was learned yesterday that tho
Merritts will positively disband on Sat
urday night after the game with tha
Quickstep Saturday afternoon. The
reasons given for the disbandment are
mainly because the people of Camden
do not appreciate crack club, and the
association is not in good condition
Many of the players are dissatisfied on
account of being offered increased sala-
ries elsewhere. Learning of this mana
ger McHugh made Householder and
Kienzel tempting offers but they have
not yet given an answer. If they an
swer in the affirmative Householder
will be placed at third base and keiD-
eel centre field.
Of the other Merritt players Warner
is either going to the Cleveland or Atls-
letic. Kimber and Corcoran will
most likely go to the Brooklyn, and tho
Philadelphia will probably y secure Elm"
slie and Sweeney. Of Gardner, Green.
wood and Careroon nothing is known
This action of the Merritt will cause
much confusion in the Interstate cham
pionship race, as the games played with
the Merritt will possibly not count.
