The lnssEsssss Uompsnionship.
Everybody in town seems to have caught
tho baseball fever and the formation of
mines, more or less, agitates stores, shops
and households. No day passes without its
games and tho reports from all over the
country arc watched and waited for with
absorbing interest. The second game be.
tween the Shoddies aud Calicoes"
tho former employees of Myers s. Rath.
Won and tho latter clerks from the New
York store-was played on the college
grounds last evening. The game was
begun on Wednesday evening, when three
innings were played, and the score then
stood Is TO 8 in favor of the Calicoes."
Last evening, With stern determination
depicted upon every faoa and dainty forms
willing to stand the din aud clash of the
baseball field, the game WAS resumed, with
tho "Calicoes at the bat. Five runs
were earned, with no notable occurrences
except some artistic running and magnifi-
cont movements to keep out of the way of
the ball. The game progressed then
through two moro innings, with the
SCORE standing 1S to II in favor of the
'Calicoes'-which with the runs made the
evening before foot up 26 to 16 in the
"Calicoes," favor. There was great deal
Of fun during the game, which Cox of the
"Shoddies" enhanced by furious run
after ball thrown to him to first base
and then sliding on to the plate with terri
bic disregard Of his parlOr clothes, but
putting the runner ont before he rose t.
his feet covered with glory and mud. Tho
wondrous strikes Of 8. Lichty generally
brought him and his dainty little white hat
near tho bases, but he never appeared to
get quite near enough, while Wilson Of
the "Calic0es" 10 order to court the good
graces OF fortune developed tho extrava-
CANT habit Of carefully dusting tie home
plate with his cambric handkerchief be-
fore he proceeded to business. Another
effort will be made to score the other three
innings, to end the game, next week.
Fat anu Lean Mines
Yesterday afternoon on tho Ironsides
grounds match game of ball was played
between two mines, which wore adve, tised
to be composed of the fat and lean men,
bers Of the Lancaster MAJ eanerchor. There
were . number of fat men on the fOrmec
nine, but there wore also some very small
ones, and the lean team was not composed
of small men entirely, nor did the mon all
beluDg to the MBnnerchor. the game
was full of fun, but as an exhibition of
baseball was very tiresome. Some Of the
men showed considerable skill at the bat,
q we'll a. in the field, while there arc others
who probably never saw q baseball except
In store window. The pitching was very
slow and for this reason u great many of
the balls were hit. The fat mon seemed to
have the advantage at the bat and did
heavy hitting. The fielding of both was
fearful. It was but little trouble for bat
ter to make homs ruu, even if the ball
did not 60 far, for the odds we're SO even
that mono of the basemen would hold q
ball and the runner would not be inter.
fered with. In the first inning the fat men
made IA runs and lean men 13. Before the
next inning was over the umpire deserted,
saying that he did not have time to spend
week on baseball ground. A new one was
selected and the pounding of balls and
turning Of s0mersaults Ovar them was con-
tinued until five innings had been played
when the score stood 81 to 35 ir favor of
the fat men. During tho game both mines
were greatly changed, as many of tho
players became tired and hungry and
desired to return to town. As they had
signed no papers they were quickly re-
leased and allowed to come home. Their
places were usually filed with equally
fine players.
Notes Of the alame.
The Blue Stocking baseball nj o Of Mil
will go to Rohrerstown to morrow
where they will play q match game of ball
with the nine of that plsce.
The POttstown Alerts will be here to
and the game will be called at s
o'clock. The Ledger of that place says
" In consequence of severe sprain of his
back in the nail mill Of the POttstOwn iron
company, yesterday, Zoos LOngaker, the
first basemsn of the Alerts, will be unable
to play at Lancaster, on Saturday.
In Harrisburg yesterday the Active club
of Reading, played game with the Har-
risburg team. Instead of good pitcher
the home team placed Burns, fellow who
knows nothing of the position, in the box.
He was hammered all over tho field and
lost the game. Gallagher, the new man
who pitched the day before, was no good
at the bat and could not hit ball The
Reading battery was Moore and Carol and
the state capital nine could do nothing.
Tho sc0re was 8 to 5 and it serves the llar-
risburgers right, for they defeated i far
better club than the Actives the day be-
fore.
