BaltlmOre's Uphill Fight Against tn
Athletics The Other Games,

baltimOreS Dp-nliI f1khC Against the
AthletIcs-rhe Other Games,
PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-The Athletic
nine won a championship victory over the
Baltimores to-day ny score of to 7. 1t
was most exciting contest and was not de-
cided until the ninth inning, when the home
nine scored the winning run, with none out.
Both mines did some heavy batting, but the
Athletics hits We're punched and five OF
their runs were earned, while the visitors
earned but one. The batting of Clinton,
who leads the Association averages to date
and who has been nicknamed "The Slug
GER" was the feature. He was five times
at the bat, made four safe hits-one for
three, one Tor two bases and
two singles. StOvey led the
Athletic batting, but was closely pushed
by Crowley and Knight. Both mines
did some bad fielding, but O'Prien's bad
play on third was the great surprise of the
game. Eggler, Knight and Crowley made
good running catches and Birchal made one
of those miraculous long fly catches for
which he is noted. Eggler hit the ball and
1t descended close to the left field fence.
Birchal ran back, caught the ball on the
side run on jump and it bounded out of
his hands twice before it finally settled. The
Baltimores showed that they have great
strength, both at the bat and in fielding,
and they will rank with the best mines in
the Association. Four thousand people saw
the game and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The visitors had a forlorn hope,
but made gallant uphill fight and came
within an ace of winning. Score:
Baltimore, Q IL
ALLEGHENY's USUAL LUCK.

outplaying the visitors at every point. The

NOTES OF THE GAME.
1t is again worthy of note that Ferguson
did not play with the Philadelphias, yester-
day, when they SO neatly laid out the De.
troits.
Yesterday, two mines composed of stock
holders of the Quickstep club, played a
match game, the result of which is still in
doubt, both sides claiming victory.
The Quicksteps arrived home, this morn
ing, and this afternoon will play
at Quickstep park with the strong
Merritt nine, of Camden. Having
made such good record during their tour
