The game of base bali at Quickstep Park
yesterday afternoon between the German
and American saloon keepers was a glorious
contest, and though our German fellow.
citizens were forced to succumb TO the su-
perior prowess Of their American brethren
they did nobly, and only need q more thor
ough acquaintance with the points OF
the game and an umpire who will be
ION their side" all the time TO lay out any
team that could be put against them. Base
ball, It is well known, Ia not the Irrational
game" IN Germany as II is in this country,
and so the Germans cannot be expected to
be as well posted on the various
points as their American brethren,
and II the umpire had not persisted
in declaring the German players out every
time they we're put out they might have had
| better show. On this point, however
Umpire McCa6rey was inexorable, anil the
TentoDs could not induce him to cheat in
their favor ever SO little, throughout the
game.
OF the playing OF the American team it is
only necessary TO state that they
won the game, but the brilliant showing made
by their German opponents is worthy
OF special mention. Captain Freye didn't
amount to much in the field, but the way
he batted was terror. He sent the ball far
enough to yield home run, but as no
amount Of persuasion could induce him to
travel around the bases he was invariably
| put out at first. Robelen covered third base
in good style, and once fly ball came at
him so hotly that he actually hadn't time
TO drop 1t and SO put out
the batter, amid tremendous applause.
StoeGkle worked like a hero and would
have been invincible had the ball not been
quite so hard, and this peculiarity also
greatly troubled Hagmeyer at first base. The
other players also did nobly.
or the score 1t is only necessary to state
that the German team secured four Iuns,
while the Americans got all the rest, but
out of courtesy their score was limited to 35.
To-day the members of both teams are
industriously using liniment and other heal
ing lotions.
AN EXCITING CONTEST.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-With an untried
amateur in the pitchers position, the Ath-
letic team to-day achieved its sixth victory
for the American Association Inpionship,
defeating for the second time the Metro
politan club of New York. The game was
won in the first inning. Being sent to the
bat first the home team, by streak OF tre-
mendous batting, scored four earned runs.
Birchall opened with clean hit to extreme
short field, on which he reached first.
Scarcely had he crossed the bag before
Stovey sent sky scraper clean over the left
field fence, which enabled both men to
score, 1t was the longest hit of
the season, and called forth re-
peated applause from the 100 spectators.
Knight followed with clean base hit, and
was sent home by Moynahan's three-base
drive to the right field fence. O'Brien then
reached first base on a fly to right field.
Crowley flied out to Nelson. 0'BIien now
made bold dash for second base, and being
caught In the act, tried to regain first
While Crane and Brady were trying to run
him down Moynahan cleverly stole home,
securing the winning run A moment after
he crossed the plate O'Brien was put out.
Rowen finally closed the inning by going out
at second after he had reached first on a
muffed fly to Roseman.
In the remaining eight innings the Ath-
letics failed to scere, while the Nets by
hard work secured three runs, but were pre-
vented from winning by the faultless field
ing of their opponents. Score by innings

THE ALLEGHENYs' MEAN TRICK.
PITTsBURG, May 11.-Denny Mack PLAYED
his first game with the Alleghenys to-day.
The feature OF the game was trick by Dris-
coll, which Captain Barnie afterward re-
marked cannot be played again anywhere
this season. Say of the Baltimores had
scored, Clinton was on third, Kelley on Sec
ond, and Reid, who>was at the bat, made a
foul. Driscoll got the ball and, while out
OF the pitchers box, made wild throw
over third. The ruse worked charmingly.
Clinton went home, Kelley took third, Battin
returned the ball to Driscoll and Clinton
and Kelley were both tielded out The fol-
lowing is the score:
BBittEieRs'',,,,.. Baitimorss., -. "a
THE "PHILLIEs' USUAL LUCK.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Philadelphias
batted well to-day, but mostly after fielding
chances had been lost, as the Chicago
felded miscrably. Coleman was batted
hard in streaks, and Chicago had the luck
to bunch their hitting Mcclellan played
superb game at short, as did Burns at
second base. Ferguson has a bad finger,
and his errors were, therefore. excusable.
Attendance, 1900. The score follows:

tween the Harrisburg and Active clubs for

his finger during the game and retired;

lame, going into right field. The score
