The 1uickStep Shut Out by the
Merritt-A Good Game.

Between 400 and 500 persons witness.
en- the championship game yesterday
afternoon between the strong Merritt OF
Camden and the Quickstep, on the lat.
ter's grounds in this city
The Quickstep lost the toss and
sent the visitors to the field. Both clubs
appeared to be in excellent condition,
and in consequence the audience antici-
pated fine game and, with one ortwc
exceptions, they were not disappointed
Pyle and Cusick were the battery for
the home team.
The former pitched very effective, but
during the game several men were Civ
en- their bases on balls and in one or
two instances were permitted to score.
Cnsick caught well until the seventh
inning when a ball struck his mask,
breaking one of the wires and cutting u
cash on his face near the left eye, which
compelled him to retire, and Burns, the
new man, was substituted, The visi-
tors made five with total Of six base
hits off Pyle. For the Merritts kimber
and Corcoran were the battery. The
former pitched a great game and the
home nine were unable to bat him sue
cessfully, Albert being the only one
that made hit, which was daisy, and
enabled himto reach third, butin running
home on a passed ball he was caught.
Corcoran played a fautless game behind
the bat and elected frequent applause
from the spectat RS. The visitors were
credited with two errors and the home
nine three, two of these being marked
against Bresnahan and one against Bar
ber.
ihe home team played good game
but for some unaccountable reason cam
not cope with the Jerseymen, and this
makes the second game that they have
been shut out by them.
