burg In D Ten lnninK Game.
Fully 800 persons were present at the
Quickstep Park yesterday afternoon TO
witness the championship game between
the Quickstep and Harrisburg clubs,
and those present wee treated to the
best game Of ball played here this
season. Owing to the reports of the
recent game in harrisburg, when
several Of the Quick tep men were hit
with the ball in the hands Of Shappert,
a lar ger crowd than usual was present,
and were evidently prepared for row,
should the visitors attempt any dirty
business"
Shsppert, however, did not appear,
and the holes were Allied by Burns,
who pitched a good game but appeared
q little nervous for fear he would strike
a batter. The game progressed with
out any serious results until the tenth
inuing, when Pyle struck McCloskey
on the head with ball, and Pyle was
afterwards struck on the hand. Beth
accidents delayed the ga me for few
minutes.
The Quickstep won the toss and sent
the visitors to the bat, who were retired
in short order and the home team were
served in the same manner, with one
man on the base. In the third inning
Cusick made short hit and succeeded
in making three bags on error of Say
and scored OH hit of Pyle. Snyder
scored in the fifth inning Oh errors and
the visitors scored two runs on the
sixth inning tieing, the score.
At the close of the ninth inning the
score was unchanged, and excitement
reigned supreme. Smith opened out
the tenth inning for the visitors with a
safe hit, and succeeded in getting to
third base. Another man had reached
first and by sharp trick of Pyle the
latter was permitted to steal second and
the runner at third attempted to reach
home, but was caught by Pyle, who
was watching him, az ne resOrted to the
trick for that purpose, and the visitors
retired without \ run.
McKenna then grasped the ash and
nade a safe hit, stole second and reach
ed third by good base running, and
scored amid applause by a good hit of
Pyle " hen the game closed. The game
throughout was warmly contested, and
several good plays made. Cnsick made
two elegant foul catches, and Albert
also made difficult running foul
catch. Benners made an excellent
throw in the eighth inning which saved
the game. Miller was on third, when
McCloskey hit TO right field in close
proximity to Benners and, Miller start
ed home.
Benners, however, recovered the ball
and threw ii home in time to catch the
runner. The throw was beautiful one
and he received loud applause. In the
ninth inning he visitors made a neat
double play and received applause. But
three errors were made by the home
team, while the visitors had five. The
visitors made eight base hits and the
home team six. The score follows:

Numerous chsnges are rumDred in
connection with the Quickstep. Waitt,
it is said, has expressed desire to re-
signed his position as manager, while
Mex emma, some declared will be hidden
adieu, arrang' ments now being made
to procure a good man in his stead.
Bresnahan has evidently been dissatis-
fed, but has consented TO remain.
William MCatirrty umpiled very
impartially yesterday afternoon, aud
was painfully hurt by being struck by
balls. At one time the back of his
right hand WAS cut open and on the
another occasion avery large and an
noying bruise was made Oh his right
ankle.
William Rodearmel, President of the
Harrisburg club and representative of
the Harrisburg Patriot, accompanied
the team to this city yesterday. He
was much surprised at the exaggerat-
ed stories" in regard to Schappnrt's al
legged propensity for hitting players of
rival clubs, and says that the much be-
rated pitcher soIemnly declares that he
does not hit any one intentionally.
Shnppert, who is a German, pitches
uncertain balls, they varying conside"a-
bly,, some going to the right and someto
the left, but he has never been known to
strike left hand batter
CuSirk is playing a great game of
ball, and his superior is hard to find.

Actves will meet the Quickstep on the
grounds of the latter club, in a cham
pionship game.
