OUR BOYS, OF BALTIMORE, VS.. WESTMINSTER.
On Tuesday of this week Westminster
squared themselves against the most formlda-
bic club they have ever yet played. The
largest crowd ever upon the ground collected
to witness this game, and great deal of in
terest was manifested as to the result. The
game was, however, by most persons conceded
to the visitors, as their reputation would seem
to Justify. Westminster losing the toss, Mil
Ter at the bat went to his base on called balls
and was followed by two-base hit by Mctad-
den, bringing Miller home. Harding got his
base on balls, and Reese retired at 1st. Cla

which being missed, Rapp got home; Conrad
went out at End and Erick at lst. One run
scored.
The score stood at the end of 4th inning 10
to in favor of Westminster.
Westminster scored no more runs during
the game, although several good base hits
the 9th inning, "Our Boys fielding skilful-
ly. The visitors scored one more run on
seventh and one on the eight, by base hits by
Rice, Dorsey, Conner and Slater
Bankert fielded admirably, making fine
double play in the 9TH inning. Clabaugh,
Reese and Miller were charged with only one
error each. The fielding generally was good
on both mines, and the batting was good.
Wordsworth and Rapp are strong batters, but
the former made a mistake by batting flies to
Driscoll, who captured three of his and one OF
Erick's. Each nine made base hits and but
few errors were committed, both mines playing
well.
We hope to have another such game soon.
B. F. Grouse umpired both games in his
usual exact, careful and impartial style.
We would suggest to those who attend
games, that visitors should have due consid-
Grafton in the applause. They are generally
alone, and should not have their good plays
go by unnoticed. 1t is very natural for West
minister to rejoice over the success of the
home club, especially when they encounter
strong clubs of greater experience, but itmust
be little embarrassing for visitors to feel that
their skill should be unnoticed. Recognize
skill and divide your applause.
