THE GLORIOUS NINTH.
THE BEADING ACTIvES MEET
WITH A hTIA GIG DRYEAT-
OTMER NOTES.
A large crowd assembled at QuickstcI
Park yesterday afternoon to witness
the championship game between the
Reading Actives and the luickstep
Many persons present had but little
confidence in the home club, on account
their bad defeat the day before, and
nearly all bets outside were two to ont
In favor Of the visitors.
The Actives having also suffered a
defeat Mt the hands of the Harrisburg
club the day before came to this city foI
revenge, and were SO sure of winning
the game, that at the ending Of the
eighth inning, when the score stood
Quickstep A, Active II, they packed
their bats up ready to leave the grounds,
and retured to the field, thinking that
they would blank their opponents and
end the struggle, but they were doomed
to disappointment as the sequel will
show.
The Quicksteps were laboring under
disadvantage on account ot the sick
ness Of Cunlifte, Casey and Smiley, who
are suffering with malaria, while Nc
Kenna has a split finger and very sore
hands. Casey, contrary to the advice
of his physician, played behind the bat,
but he could not, owing to his sickness,
begin to catch Pyle, who had to let up
on him to a certain extent.
At the end of the fifth inning Casey
had to retire and Cussick took his place
and played good game, Bresnaham,
late of the Baltimore, the new man,
did some excellent work at second base,
and his batting was terrific. Albert
held his own at short stop and acquitted
himself with credit, while the pitching
of Pyle, after Cussick got behiud the
bat, was simply terrible, and the visitors
were unable to hit effectively Watt
received applause for catching three
difficult fly balls and redeemed himself
at the bat in the ninth inning. AT the
end of the eight inning as stated above
the score stood II TO 4 in favor of the
visitors, when the Quicksteps went 10
the hat and did some of the heaviest
ever witnessed in this city and
demoralized their oppe-
nents, although they played well. Waitt
was the first batter.
He made clean hit to centre. Dorr
and Cusick followed with safe hits each
for single bag, and all three scored on
long two base hits by Bresnaham, Sny
der and Barber, who also scored, and
before the inning closed Waitt and Dorr
each added another base hit to their
score. At this point in the game the
audience was wild with excitement,
and applause after applause rent the
air, and the game was delayed for few
minutes until the excitement subsidized.
The Captain of the Actives, seeing that
the Quicksteps were hammering dad
Reynolds their pitcher, they attempt
ell to make a change before the close of
the inning, but were not permitted t"
do 50, as it was contrary to the rules,
and the home nine piled up seven runs
and tied th ecors.
The visitors then unstrapped their
bats and were retired III one, two three
order. In the tenth inning Lands was
placed in the holes, but they hatted
him for three runs and retired their
opponents with another blank, thus
winning the game by three runs.
Albrr, and Pyle, formerly of the
Activ"s, but now Of the QuirkstrpS,
we're the happiest men Oh the field
over the victory, while the the audience
nearly went wild, and when 'usick
came il, from the field they deliberately
raised him tOthrir shoulders and carried
him over the ground.
At the conclusion of the eighth in
ming many persons began to leave the
ground, as they saw no hopes for vie
tory, and their surprise was very great.
The game was one of the best and
contested ever played in this
,itv, and the home club has risen con
in the estimation Of the peo-
pie. The score by innings is ~ fol-
lows:
