IL ever baseball ulub had an easy lob
winning game tho Eastons had that ex-
porience yesterday when they defeated
the lronsides for the third time in the five
games which the clubs have played. The
Eastons were not slow to recover from
their defeat OF Saturday aud yesterday
they determined to win the game. The
home club seemed to have made up their
mind to lose and there was not much ditii
Gully IN either club accomplishing their
apparent purpose.
The visitors presented stronger team
than on Saturday. IL will be remembered
that on that day the lronsides made nun.

Hanna was put behind tho bat IIe isa
plucky little catcher aud played with great
success, For tho greater part OF tho game
the helding of tho ELs,ons was very fine,
out IN the latter part they had some grave
errors, which, II they had occurred earlier,
might nave proven fatal. The pitching OF
lfittenhouse was effective aud tho homo
boys were unable TO hit him as they did ou
Saturday. or the home team probably
tho worst playing was done by Hofiord. His
pitching was great deal worse than usual
aud the visitors found io difficulty ia hit
ting him. He seemed To take little inter
est IN the game, although at times no would
take spurt and pitch in his usual way,
striking the men out with ease. This
would continue for a short timo, how
ever, aud then he would drop back
into the habit of pitching easy balls,
which were readily hit. The man has one
excuse for his bad playing aud that is that
he was sick all day yesterday and did not

oldheld played good game behind ths
bat. Some of the other members had
some frightful errors. and is not worth
while to write them up. The score below
shows plainly who did the good and bad
work and that is sufficient Ono thing Ia
certain, and that is that the audience
was thoroughly disgusted with yester-
days exhibition by the home club.
IL is we'll known that they are stronger
than the Eastots aud yesterday II was
supposed that they would easily win the
nth gamo. In this, however, the public
were disappointed, and instead of seeing
a good game they saw one which would
do little credit to school boys The
Easton men knew they had snap and
took advantage OF 1t. Last night they
were free to admit that il was the terrible
playing Of the lronsides that defeated
them, and when the homo team is in con

never drank drop of liquor. He had
been so largely exposed to the fumes Of
impure alcohol while Strengthening"
poor wines, that this system had absorbed
enough of it to poison him.

A New Wrinkie IN redestri rianism.

An innovation was made at Chicago
Monday in the walking match line in the
attempt of William Kitzig a laborer, ~
years old to mount flight of 40 steps 800
times in 10 hours for wager. kitzig
began tho task at 7:45 this morning
aud made tho trip 100 times in the first
hour aud a half. At 1890 he had climbed
the stairway l75 times, when he stopped
for dinner, showing signs of fatigue. Af-
ter completing the meal and taking short
rest he resumed tho task, showing consid
erable evidence of weariness. Alta O'Clock
il was evident that he could not go on
without stimulants. He then began drink
ing Rhine wine, which he kept up during
the afternoon. His legs began to swing
automatically, and he completed the three
hundredth ascent and won the wager with
10 minutes to spare. A large crowd con-
gregated toward the close and tho police
we're compelled to clear the street. 1t is
estimated that Kitzig Travelled over eight
miles of steps in performing the task.
