BROWN STOCKINGS vs.. RED CAPS.

BROWN STOCKINGS VS.. RED CAPS.
1t requires but few words to tell the
result of the return game of base ball be-
tween the Red Caps, of st. Paul, and
Brown Stockings, of Minneapolis the first
game between the two clubs on the st.
Paul grounds. In return for the eleven to
four defeat administered to the Browns by
the Reds on Tuesday last on the home
ground of the former club, they turned the
tables yesterday, and, aided by a combina-
ton OF mishap s to the home club, gained
an easy victory by a score of fourteen to
seven. In the first place Crooks, the
strongest batter, as we'll as one of the lest
general players of the home club, was alb
sent, and his place was filled by Joe Miller,
of White Bear. the captain of
the old Red Caps, and first
class ball player when in practice.
which, unfortunately for the playing
strength of the Reds yesterday, he is not
now. To further weaken the men Devlin,
the pitcher, by slip in the third
ball pitched wrenched his arm.
incapacitating him from further
work, though he was compelled.
under the demand of the Browns for a.
strict observance of the rules, to pitch the
inning out, after which Cody was brought
in from center field to pitch, Allen, of the
University nine, taking his place in the
field. A further breakup in the home
nine occurred at the end of the seventh
inning, when Mr.. Miller was forced to
withdraw by other engagements, his place
being filled by Barnes, the regular catcher
OF the club going to center field and Paul
Martin taking Barnes place behind the
bat, The gentlemen thus drawn upon
to fill up the home nine did
good work in their several positions, but
the club as thus made up was not the Red
Caps. On the other hand, the Browns
were in excellent shape, with every man
IN position, and in shape, as shown by
their general work, both at the bat and in
the field, to play much stronger game
than when defeated by the Reds on their
home grounds. The team of the Browns
with their batting order, was as follows:
Bennett, I'd b.; Murphy, p; Whitcomb, S.
S.; O'Brien, Sd b.; Foster, c.; Chances, C. f.
Speer, 1st b.; Webster, T. f.; Trusdel, l. f.
The home nine batted in the following
order: Lawson, l. b.; Miller, C. f.; Becker,
Sd b.; Barnes, c.; Calvin, ]. f.; Cody, r. f.
and p; Nettleton, I'd b.; Allen, r.; Wor-
wick, s. s. The game was prolific in errors
and really sharp plays alternating. Mr..
W. F. Booth, of Minneapolis, filled the po-
sitiOn of umpire, and evidently tried to
deal justly with both clubs, and
while several of his decisions
were open to criticism, it must be said to
the credit of both clubs that they were &C.
cepted without a kick. If some of the
spectators had followed the example of the
players, in this respect, the game would
have been still more enjoyable, Following
is the score by innings:
