The Quiokssep.A Athletic Game Yes
terdsy.
Yesterday was as fine day for ball
playing az the most exacting person
could wish for. The sun shone brightly
and the air was balIny. All nature
seemed to smile, and when game was
called at $50 o'clock, the fifteen hun
dred persons present, among whom
were a number of ladies, looked for n
good game.
They were notdisappointed up to the
eighth inning, as the game had been al
most faultlessly played. Up to that
time the game stood five to two in favor
of the home club, and the audience felt
almost assured that the Athletics, the
supposed coming champions Of the
American Association, would be com
PEELED to leave ball in this city.
When the fatal eighth WAS reached,
the audience held its breath in suspense,
and when the inning was through the
Athletics had piled up six runs to its
score, making it eight to five. 1t seemed
that in this inning, which must have
some fatality attacked to ii Tor the
Quickstep, that our boys lost their
heads. Several ineXcusable errors
were made, and the visitors seeing this
took advantage of it, batted the sphere
in a lively manner and piled in the
runs.
OF course our people were disap-
pointed, but majority contentcd
themselves with the fact that it was
not as bad a defeat as the visitors sut-
fered at the hands of the Philadelphia
