Oenor 0ameS,

TO.mOrrow s2lternoon the MAntuos, 0l
Philadelphia, will play in this city with
the Ironsides on the grounds of the hitter.
This club played With the Ironsfdes a the
18th of last month, and defeated then by
score of 16 to7. The Lancaster team
is now, however, much stronger than it
was then, and it stands good chance Of
coming out of tho contest with the honors.
The game will be an interesting one. The
Mantuas have been successful Of late tn
contests with other teams, and it may be
expected that to- morrow's game will be
close.
Manager Specie has arranged a game
with the Houston club, of Chester, for
August %. ss.T5 Z
During the week of the Saengerfest three
fine games will be played on tho Ironsides
grounds.
Canvas should be placed on the fence
along the eastern and southern sides of tho
Ironsides grounds at once.
As the August Flowers, Of Philadelphia,
are very slow at making arrangements, the
date TUESDAY next) which they spoke of
taking has been given to Sam. Fields
Reading club. Mr.. Field was formerly
. manager and player of the Actives, but
left the nine on account of dissatisfaction
at the way in which some of tho other
managers behaved. He then organized a
very strong team, which he has played in
different towns OF the state with success,
and will bring it here.
Yesterday afternoon nine composed of
clerks in the national bank of this city
played game of ball with nine from the
Farmers bank, on the Ironsides gounds.
The nationals won in five innings by the
score of 1S to 8.
To morrow afternoon the watch factory
club and the club from Billy Snyder's
cigar store will play game on the college
grounds.
The manager of tho Hunter club CORES
ponds for the Pittsburg papers while on a
tour and sends them the results of the
papers of that city q dispatch appeared
was beaten here by the umpire. This
must give some excuse for their defeats to
the telegram says that whenever the
Hunters "meet q crack club they must
win heavily or they will loose by umpir-
ing."I 1t seems strange that the crack clubs
all have umpires especially to defeat the
Hunter club. the members of which seem
to have an idea that there are no other good
clubs. They will learn very differently be.
fore getting out of Richmond, to which
city they have gone. Before coming to
this city they boasted that they would
knock tho lronsides to pieces. Finding
they wero unable to do that, and they now
make a grand howl and give that old
excuse (bad umpire) for their defeat.
The lot on the north side of the Harris.
burg turnpike and directly opposite the
baseball grounds is owned by Hon. H. G.
Long. Along the fence there is q row of
high locust trees upon which men and boys
perch themselves to get viewof the games.
They not only ipjure tho trees, but tear
down the fenco in order to mako seats for
themselves of the paiings. They have
been ordered to leave several times by Mr.
Longs farmer but refused to go. Mr..
Long informed the police this morning of
the matter and they will lend their assist
ance 20 the former hereafter in keeping
the trees clear. Persons WHO insist upon
mounting these trees when ordered off are
liable to prosecution for trespass.
Schappert pitched in a game with the
Harrisburg club, against the BrOOklyns on
Monday in Brooklyn. A representative
of the New York Clipper was present at the
game and he has this to say of Schap-
pert's pitching. "The third of the newly
engaged interstate umpire (Holland) oc-
cupied the umpire's position, and he is
chargeable with plain violation of tho
rules of the game in allowing Schappert
to deliver tho ball illegally in every inning
of the match. There is nothing in Schap
pert's pitching beyond the great pace he
obtains by his overland throwing. Were
he kept down to legal delivery Of the ball
there would be no difficulty in punish
ing his pitching. His strong point is in
intimidating his batting opponents by his
speed. But for the plucky support given
him behind the bat by Miller-who is de
cidedly the strong point of the " battery
-Schappert's pitching would be costly in
called and passed balls. Iu this game his
overland thrOwiBg-which the umpire let
pass without notice. thereby himself viO-
lating the rules-intimidated the majority
Of batsmen to such an extent that they
only scored two base hits off the throwing.
At one time his hand passed above his
head in a regular overland throw. This
violation of the rules, both by the pitcher
in throwing and the umpire in failing to
inflict the appointed penalty, is sufficient
to warrant the game being protested"
