lest batting and best fielding games evel

A LARGE AUDIENCE DISAPPOINTED.
Between 1000 and 5000 people assembled
to witness the Athletic Baltimore game in
Philadelphia, yesterday, but they were
doomed to grievous disappointment. The
visitors played four innings and made two
runs, but when the Athletics went 70
the bat for their fourth inning, the rain
began to fall rather heavily and game was
called for twenty minutes At the end of the
time the shower was over but Capt. Stovey
Of the Athletics refused to play longer on
account of the grounds being wet.
The audience, meanwhile, had waited
patiently in the rain, and when they found
that the game was not to be resumed, de-
spite the fact that the rain had entirely
ceased, they were wild with disappointment
and rage. 1t made no difference, however,
as the management had their money and
the disappointed spectators had no means OF
redress. Many denounced the course of the
management in refusing to resume the
game as mean swindle. The score was 2
TO 0 in favor of the Baltimore, ard there is
no doubt that fear of defeat was the main
reason of the Athletics refusal to play the
game out.

Two reports have been sent to the GAZETTE
office, regarding a match played at the
Scheutzen Park, yesterday. One reads as
follows: "Two mines of coach makers
played game at Scheutzen Park yesterday
afternoon. The team from Darragh's shop
defeated the one from Horns establishment
by a score of IL to 8. Challenges for the
Darragh nine may be sent to
K. Burton, Jr." The other says
"At game between the @. w. Horn nine
and the Ed. Darrah nine, yeste' day, the um.
pire awarded the game to the Horn nine by
a score of Is to IL, the Darragh nine fun
keying at the seventh inning and refusing
to continue the game" From detailed
score accompanying one report we take it
that at the close of the sixth inning the
score was IL to In favor of the Darragt
nine. The Darraghs made one run
in the seventh inning, and then the
Horns started to get in their work. The
score shows that they piled up six runs
with only one man out, and then ends alb
ruptly, with an erasure mark in pencil dowr
the entire length OF the seventh inning
column. The readers can draw their owl
conclusions.
This week the Quicksteps will play tn,
Merritts on Wednesday and the Trentons OF
Thursday, at Quickstep Park. On Wednes
dDy, May 23d, they play the Allegheny Clut
of the American Association.
The Philadelphias won their first Leagu,
victory in Chicago, yesterday, and it Il
worthy of note that in this contest Nagl,
pitched and Ferguson did not play. Th
ought to be a strong hint for the manage
ment to continue this arrangement of th'
nine.
The Athletic and Baltimore announce
games in Philadelphia this and tomorrow
| afternoons.
The Quickstep Club stockholders will
form two mines and play at the grounds thi
| afternoon.
This morning the Quicksteps were in Har
risburg, but If the weather proved favorable
and they received word in time they pro
posed to go to Pottsville and play tn
Anthracites. Otherwise they will return t
