Umpire Burt Fails 10 Arrive aud
the Qnickstep Plays an Exhi.
tiOn Game.

ton Game.
About three hundred persons Assem-
bled at Quickstep Park yesterday after
noon to witness a championship gam,
between the Trenton and QuicksteI
mines, but after waiting about half M
hour for the arrival of umpire Burt, II
was decided to turn the game into an
exhibition contest, and Parker acted as
umpire. The Trentons won the toss,
'ook the field, and retired their oppo-
nents without a run. The visitors
came to the bat and, through loose
playing by the home team, scored three
runs.
Fox showed to the audience of what
he was made, and his pitching was 50
terrific that Cunliffe could not hold the
balls. The new pit cher was placed at
short and Pyle substi uted. The latter
also drove them in with such effect that
Cunliffe was compelled to retire in the
sixth inning and Murray, the new play
er, went behind the bat and caught for
two innings, when Pyle "broke him
up" and in the eighth inning another
change was made. The Trenton men,
seeing victory perched upon their ban
ners, also changed their battery and
substituted their weakest players, when
they defeated the home club without
any difficulty. y ~~
The Quicksteps are credited with six
to seven errors for their opponents,
and ) to 10 base hits respectively.
Thus it will be seen that the Quicksreps
are sadly in need of some good batters
who can be relied on. The score follows:
Qnickstep 10000 70 0 O. 4
Trenton 800 0 3 4 0 x-10
Earned runs-Trenton, 9. Two ba-
Hunt, Cunltfe. Struck

BALL NOTES
One man was interviewed Yesterday
who had not lost faith in the Quick
step.
1t is believed that Fox will prove
valuable addition to the Quickstep nine
and that he will puzzle the heavy bat
ers of the Interstate clubs when he
gets a catcher to hold him. Cusick
would no doubt hold him.
The Quicksteps play the Merritts this
afternoon at Camdenin championship
game, but of course noons expects them
20 win.
Umpire Burt is liable to a fine for
'ailing to put in his appearance in this
'ity yesterday on the occasion of the
Trenton .Quickstep game.
The Shamrock nine of Wilmington
md the Morrisry team Of Philadelphia,
10th good clubs, will meet on the
grounds at Quckstep Park this after
boon game to he called at o'clock.
Cusick was unable to play yesterday
N accoun of very sore hand and
Cnnlittt was substituted.
Alberts finger is still very sore, and
t is on this account that he made so
many errors on the recent "trip. 1t me-
,esSitated his throwing the ball with
hree fingers.
The pottsville Chronicle in its account
If the Quickstep-Anthracite game
ays: "Waitt stopped home run for
'liligan. The latter got even, how
y er, in the eighth inning. Watt got his
'ase on balls. Milligan put the ball
ln,ler his arm. Yarnall walked 10 the
'ox with his back to the base. Waitt
.ct two yards off and looked anxiously
t second. Suddenly he was startled
" IA shout, but at that instant Knowles
ouched him with the ball, walking off
he base to do j.. The most uproarious
houts Of laughter followed"
