A WATERLOO FOR THE DETROIT.
Che Merritts Lay Out the TrentODs In
Handsome Styie--General Notes of the
Game.

DETROIT, May 1s.-The postponed game
with the New Yorks to-day proved picnic
as far as the visitors batting was concerned.
Burns was pounded with ease all over the
field. O'Neil gave seven men bases on
balls in three innings aud Ward then re-
placed him. He proved a puzzler to the
home nine and they secured only three hits
off him. The Detroits' batting was the
weakest seen here this season. The New
Yorks stole second with impunity, owing to
Burns slow delivery of the ball and q few
poor throws by Trott. Welch made fine
home-run in the fifth inning. Following is
| the score
Detroit............ 2 0 / "a
Earned runs, New York g. Two-hase hit.
Troy. Three-base hits, ConnoTs, Wood. Home
run, Welch.
GOOD GAME IN CAMDEN.
Eight hundred people witnessed the game
OF ball yesterday in Camden between the
Merritts and Trentons. Although the con-
test was not characterized by any partic-
ularly brilliant playing, 1t was a fairly good
exhibition. Warner, Greenwood and Gard
ner carried off the hOnors with three base
hits, and Householder earned deserved ap-
plause by making well earned home run.
In total of 13 runs the victorious team
made but two errors.
