Louis-1 he Quickssep Defeated
by the Trenton.
The Athletics defeated the st. Louis
club yesterday by score of to 2. This
virtually wins the, championship pen
nant for the Athletics. The record
made by the Athletic and st. Louis
teams, including yesterdays game, is
this
Clubs Won. Lost. Played. To play.
Athletic 85 90 "a
st. Louis 81 33 90
Should the Athletics lose all four Of
their remaining games and the st..
Louis players win their three remaining
contests, each club would have won 65
and have lost SO games, q tie; 30 that
In any event the Athletic csnnot now
be beaten, while single victory will
put the championship question beyond
doubt. The four games which the Ath.
letics have to play are in Louisville, and
considering the weakened condition OF
the Kentucky team, it will certainly be
very strange If the Athletics cannot
pick up one victory out of the four con-
tests. 1t Is now AZ certain as anything
well can be that that the championship
pennant Of the American Association OF
base ball clubs will float over the Ath-
letic grounds In 1884.
The Quickstep met the Trenton club
in this city on Saturday, and we're de-
fe;,ted before an audience Of about 800
persons by score Of 8 to6. The visi-
tors presented their strongest team, and
the pitching of Harkins was very ef-
fective and the home team made but
nine hits with total of ten bases, while
the visitors are credited with fifteen
with total of eighteen bases. The
Quickstep played a good game with the
exception of Smith at left field, who
dropped several fly balls and allowed
the visitors to score several runs.
Kennel at centre caught several diff.
cult hys, and Albert az short made
some brilliant stops. One of the most
intsresting plays was in the fifth in
ming when three Of the Trenton nine
made base hits, but by perfect fielding
Of the home team they were unable to
score. The Trenton made nine errors
and the Quickstep eight. The score
follows:
Trenten, 800 2O2 x-9

NOTES.
In Columbus yesterday the Metro
politan defeated the Columbus by a
score of l3 to5. In Cincinnati in a
five inning game, called on account OF
rain, the Cincinnati made runs to
Baltimore 0.
The Witsil Senate defeated the Daunt-
less on Saturday by score Of TO 0.
At the recent meeting of the Inter-
State Association the disputed game be-
tween the Quckstep and Active, in
hich the lat er wanted to substitute
Carroll for Kappel, was given to the
Quickstep without dispute, as the Act
tive saw their mistake.
Smith has been released by Manager
Malone, and either Cusick or Henry
will hereafter play left field.
Owing to the rain the Harrisburg
Quickstep game will probably not take
place as announced.
Parties in this city interested in base
hall are already talking of a club next
year, and they intend to have a good
one. Four or five of the present club
will be retained Benners has an offer
from she Brooklyn, but he has not yet
signed.
