A BRILLIANT GAME.
The Quicks step Crown ThemselVr"
with I.aureis, by Playing Almost
a Fault ess Game.


About 800 people assem- bled at Quick
step Park yesterday to witness an exhi-
bition game between the Baltimore club
and the Quickstep. As nearly every
one has lost all faith in the home team,
it was thought that the visitors would
have snap" of it, and would defeat
their opponents with ease. AS the
game advanced, however, the audience
were much surprised TO see the home
team advancing to the front, while their
opponents were being retired in one,
two, three order.
This state of affairs was kept up until
the eighth inning, when Say, of the Wis.
iting inc, hit for two bases and Scored
on clean hit of Mccormick. The home
team escaped with only two errors, one
of which was given to Pyle for permit
ing player to gethis base on ballswhiie
the other was dropped fly by Albert
in the fifth inning, which, however,
afterwards proved decided advantage,
as a neat double play was made. Geary
he new catcher made his first ap-
pearance and supported Pyle in an eX-
cellent manner. His throwing to the
second base was the best ever seen in
the city, and two men (the only ones
that attempted to steal DOWN were
caught out.
Each player of the home team played
a faultless game, and iftlley would play
in the future as they did yesterday
there is no team in the association able
to compete with them. 1t was a re-
markable game, when only twenty-nlne
of the Baltimore men went to the BAT
in nine innings and only six OF that
number reached first base. The visl-
tors also played good game with only
six errors. The pitching of Neagle was
very wild and Kelley held him well.
Smiley scored in the first inning through
errors. In the third inning Fox reach
ed second base on missed third strike
by Kelley. He got to third on u passed
ball and came home on Benners' safe
drive past third base. In the fifth iE-
ming Fox reached first on base hit,
stole second reached third on passed
ball, and Benners brought him home on
another safe hit. Benners got second
on passed ball and came home on
Watts hit to centre field, the latter
being left ON first base.
w
catching long fly foul on the bounce
after hard run. Snyder played with
out an error and caught several badly
thrown balls.
Benners batted well but had no chance
in the field. Pyle's delivery was very
puzzling, and the visitors only made
| five hits, and six men struck out. All
in all the game was one ofthe best play
ed this season in this city. The score
