The York Nine Meet with an UvorwheIm-
Ing Defeat 1t their Bands-
Other Games.
The York club played their first game
with the Irons ides Of this city on Tuesday.
The crowd in attendance was not as
large as usual, but it was very enthusiastic.
The Ironsides presented very strong
nine, and Hyman and Oldfield, tho new
players, made their first appearance;form
ing the battery. Their playing was re
markable fine, and no less than fourteen
of the visitors were put out on strikes.
Hofford played at second and Sixsmith in
centre field. The visitors did not score
in any inning but the eighth, when they
succeeded in getting three men over the
home plate. The visitors went to the bat
first and were quickly disposed of. Zecher,
of the home team, reached first on q
fumbled ball and after stealing to second
came home on good hit by Sweitzer.
The second inning was repetition OF
the first and Foster scored. When
the Ironsides went to the bat for the
third time, they began work in earnest
and pounded Kings pitching terribly,
managing to score seven runs. They
received valuable assistance from the
visitors, however, who seemed to have
lost their heads and made errors of the most
glaring kind. The fourth inning brought
the home team no runs, but in the fifth
they again began their big workand made
five Iuns. They continued to score until the
eigth inning, when the score stood IS to 0
in their favor. At the opening of this in
ming it happened that the best men in the
York club were at the bats. King made
a safe hit and reached first. The ball
from the bat of Nicholas was run for by
Hyman and Schiller, and when the former
secured it the latter was not in his base to
put the men out. Watt went out at first
but his ball brought King in, making the
first run. Baker afterwards struck three
times at the ball and Oldfield failed to catch
it. He threw it to first in time, however, but
made second, Nicholas coming in. Clop.
per's ball went by Hyman and Baker
scored on it. These were tho only runs.
Tho Ironsides played remarkable
fielding game outside of tho errors given
above and their batting was tho strongest
done this season. Hyman secured two
two baggers and Hofford and Sweitzer
each one. The last named man batted
we'll throughout the game, but unfortunate.
ly was left on base number Of times.
The whole nine seemed to have picnic at
the bat and astonished everybody. Ofths
visiting nine the men who scored the runs,
were strongest at the bat and King had no
less than three base hits of the four made
by the club. The majority Of tho nine,
however, seemed unused to curve pitching
and it was funny to see them fan the air
in their wild endeavors to hit the balls.
The nine showed their weakness in the
field, bat they had a fine first basenan and
their catcher worked hard. The passed
balls of the latter, worked bad results
however. King pitched swift ball but
there was not sufficient curve in it to
mako it difficult to hit. The whole score
as kept by the Ironsides scorer is as fol-
lows.
