THE ST, LOUIS PARAllZED.
UvsrERN CR.CK TEAM TAKES
THE QUls'kSTEP FOR A
COUNTRY NINE.

Owing to the threatening weather
Yesterday afternoon only about 800 per-
sons assembled at Qnickstep Park to
,r;tness the game between the Quick
sten and the 81, Louis, of the American
Association. The hone team arrived
on the ground shortly before three
o'clock and were cheered as they enter
ed the field. They felt sore over the
cruel treatment received in Harrisburg,
and from their talk and actions resolv.
sd 10 show their friends here that they
could play ball, and at the conclusion
of the game those who witnessed were
fnlly convinced that Wilmington had a
rrark team. The visitors arrived short
ly before four o'clock, and were in good
snirits over recent victories in Bal:i-
more.
Their opinion of the Quickstep was to
the effect that they would have a
"snap" and would win the game with
ont any trouble, but how bitterly they
were disappointed, and at the close OF
,ht game one Of their men was heard to
remark, ait was not the country team
we took them for" which was conclu-
,ive proof that they were confident Of
success, and played to win.
The Quickstep won the toss aud sent
5he visitors to the bat, WHO were re-
tired in one, two, three order, with one
base hit by Nicol, who got out in an at
tempt to steal second. Pyle and Nc
Kenna composed the battery for the
home team, and the pitching Of the for
mer was very effective, while McKepna
backed him up admirably, considering
the fact that he had been on the retired
list for fonr wet ks with sore hands. BY
terrific batting the Quickstep scored
i've runs in the first inning and six in
the third, which so demoralized the
visitors that they could hardly realize
the fact, and nearly every inning
changed the position of their players.
1t was no use, howeve": the Quick.
steps were bound 70 win and did beat
heir opponents at every point. Bres-
naham and Benners led n the bat and
the latter made several brilliant fly
catches at left field. Smiley and Barber
played good game, and Snyder retain
ed his former good record. In tact the
entire nine appeared to be playing ball
in the best manner. The ST. Louis
made eight singles with a total Of ten
base hits, while the home team are cred
tied with 1s, with total ot26. The fol-
lowing is the score :
