The match game of Base Ball on
: Sunday last, on the diamond ground
near the upper edge of the corpora
tlon limits, between the Goldens o.
this City, and the Co,ile club, came
of on Sunday last, and was witnessed
ny quite crowd Of eager spec' al ors.
who, to judge from the thousand and
one remarks made previous to the
start of the game, and about the same
number of moves AMI motions, had
come prepared in every particular to
witness, as they no doubt thought
thc most in eres'ing and best PLAYED
game of ball that had ever taken
place in this Parish--but they were
doomed to disappointment.
Twas altogether an accident or
mere piece of luck that the two clubs
were brought together, no challenge
having been sent or arrangements of
any sort made. An outsider tele
graphed to the Cotile club on Salur.
LAY, usln. the captain, Mr.. N. S.
Wares came, asking them to come
down and play the following day;
to this they willingly gave their as.
sent, and were here prompt to time
10 play on last Sabbath.
AS in all the match games that
have ever taken place here, Mr.. H.
IhaIsbeimer, the old reliable, was
chosen umpire, and that gentleman
called the players to time at 8 o'clock
precisely.
The game, as anyone will readily
infer from what we have already said
in one of the foregoing paragraphs,
was poor indeed and faulty through
out when compared with some oil
the matches that have been played
here. The score we think will show
that very plainly.
The Cotile team got the Jump of
our home boys at the onset of the
game and were never headed. The
nearest the Goldens ever came to
reaching and overtaking their com
petitors was when the Goldens had
finished their sixth inning, and the
Cotile nine had played but five. At
this stage of the game they were on
even terms, with fifteen runs apiece,
and had the Gcldens been able to
hold their adversaries at this point,
the result of the game would, no
doubt, have been quite different
But, alas! they could not, and their
first defeat was certain.
The Cotile club forced ahead again
on their sixth inning, making five
runs more, to which they added two
runs on the seventh inning and one
on the eighth--making total of
twenty three runs. They did not
play their ninth inning.
The Goldeus could add no more
than five runs to their score, earning
them on the eighth aud ninth in. '
nings, making their total amount to
twenty. They allowed themselves
to be "Chicagoed" son the seventh
inning. Thus the game ended: /,
There was really no good playing s
done on either side. Some of the
Cotile players have greatly improved
since last season, especially the
pitcher, catcher, 81 baseman and I
left-felder. The catcher of the Col
dens was disabled in the second in
ming and was unable to catch during
the balance Of the game-he was re- I
placed by the short-stop.
The Goldens were the favorites a,
the start of the game, for the reason +.
that they defeated so easily the Gilt :
Edge nine of Lamonrie, in the game
with them on the 18th of May.
We would suggest to the captains !,
Of the respective mines throughout
The Parish, that they have their men
under better discipline and control,
and not allow them to boot, hollow, |
yell, dispute auh make noise all dur !
