THE BALL GAME.
The Lovers OF the national game turned ou
in large numbers Wednesday afternoon to wit
ness the long looked for ball game that ha
caused so much feeling and comment between
the friends Of each club, and were entertained
for about four hours in o manner that pleased
and dispeased all. For those that were not &C
quainted with the game 1t must have been yer,
tiresomo, and we are sure il was for the play
era, especially for the Atlantlcs. and they dis
played their feelings by getting angry will
each other instead of playing ball. In fact, W,
think II tho ones that do the talking on til,
Atlantics against the ones that play the game
would do little more ball playing themselves
their games might turn to victory instead O
defeat. They must bear in mind also that one
man (the pitcher cannot PLAY the whole game
with the eight other men making errors. The
boys must not take this as any i'll feeling to
wards them but as advice.
The Dirigo Club played strong steady game
and worked hard and together for the prizI
they won. They took advantage OF ever,
chance that was given them, and played TO
gether In manner that showed that nothing
but good feeling existed among them. Ther,
were number OF brilliant plays on both side
during the game, which were loudly applaud
cd. The Dirigus exeelled in the field whilt
the Atlsntics outbatted them a trihe. MIR
Vose officiated as umpire and performed thi
diffiCult in n IN xua
well qualified for the position. Owing 10 tn,
shower the game had to be called on the las
half OF the ninth inning, and therefore nothing
was credited to either side in that inning. BE
low Is the score for the eight innings played;
