THE AMERICANS WIZ.
An Amusing Game OF Hall Between
German and American Beer Sitn.

An Amusing 6ame OF ball Between
German ana American Beer kiin'
gers.
Owing 10 the heavy shower during
the early part of yesterday afternoon
many persons supposed the match game
Of ball between the German and Amer
lean beer singers would not come off
hence the crowd in attendance was
small. Those who were present fully
enjoyed the game, which was comedy y
of errors and attended with no end OF
fun, while the First Regiment Band
disc0ursed excellent music
The German team comprised the
following noted players: Lew Sasse,
catcher; + Hagmire, pitcher Joe
Stoeckle, short stop Pete Abner, first
base f. p. Freye, second w. &.
Robeln, third F. Wuster, right field
f, Meier, centre G. Ietter, left.
The American team was composed OF
the following crack players, who
should by all means form themselves
into a permanent club and enter the as
sociatiOn:
j. Sayers, pitcher J, Smith, catcher;
}. Dolan, 1st base Il, Cottingham,
second ; }. Mercer, third j. West,
short stop; j. King, right field P.
Babtock, centre j. Douglerty, left.
The Americans won the toss and took
the field but only allowed their oppo'
nenents TO score one run, which was
made by Sasse, he knocking heavy
two base hit and was brought home by
a single hit by Robelin who was left on
base.
The Americans graSped the ash and
by heavy smuggling scored five runs.
The Germans were retired without scor-
ing in the next four innings, hut by a
bad error of West and Dolcn in the
sixth inning they made three runs.
The Germans changed pitchers every
inning during the first part of the game,
but 1t was no use, as the Americans
were heavy hitters and for q time it
was thought they would remain at
the bat all the afternoon, but by sharp
playing of Sasse and Stoeckle they were
finally retired, and the game closed at
the end Of the sixth inning. Sasse,
ietter and Stoeckle composed the Ger
man battery, and played great game,
while Robelin distinguished himself al,
the bat and in the field. 1t was
amusing to see the Germans stop off
the balls with their feet and the fieders
hugging the bases when they should
have been out in the ii, Id.
On the American side Sayers and
Smith were the battery and all did well
ut the bat. Vert played poor game at
short, and will no doubt be laid off fora
week. King and Dolen played u great
game, and with "a little more practice
will be competent to join the Quick
steps before the season closes. DOugherty
hattcd poorly but gained his base often
on errors, and redeemed himse f in
running the bases. Cot,ingham was
not Slow, but appeared out of place in
an American team. Bah OCk makes a
better military man than base ballisl,
and will hereafter devote his entire al
tention to his Company. Mercer played
most too slow, but succeeded in making
a base hit and scored four runs. He
will be given another trial in a return
game. The score follows:
. 4 j &
Germans ! 0 0 . J.
Americans 5 8 / = 10 ll--JS
ErrorS-Amtricans, ); Germans, too
numerous to mention. Time four hours
Several ambulances were on the ground
to carry disabled players from the fed
but fortunately their services were not
needed
