The Quickstep LOOses . Game
with the Brooklyn by Unjust
Decisions.
The Quickstep proceeded to Brooklyn
yesterday and played championship
game with the Brooklyn nine. Bets
were two TO enc in favor of the home
team, and large crowds Of men and
boys assembled at the cigar stores, land
on the street corners, from six o'clock
until midnigh discussing the probable
result
Never in the history of base ball in
this city has the excitement been 50 in-
tense as it was last night, and as rumOrs
begun to pass from one crowd to anoth-
er, Il anxiety became more intense, as
reports differed and it was hard to be-
lieve v hicL was right. The suspense
was somewhat lessened, however, when
a di>patcn arrived from Brooklyn,
which stated Quickstep, 2 Brooklyn,
s." Still, however, this was not credited
by all who heard it, and about II
O'Clock, more than 800 admirers OF the
Quickstep assembled at the depot to
await the arrival of the 11.04
p. m. train, which it was thought
would bring the club, and a rousing re-
ception was to have been rendered them.
The First Regiment band was among
the crowd, and as the engine steamed
under the sheds, the signal was given,
and The band played d lively air,
while the crowd rushed back to the
rear ears in order to grasp the base bal
lists, but they were sadly disappointed
to find that they were not on board and
they departed for their homes, conclud-
ing to wait until this morning to learn
the true result.
The boys arrived at 9 o'clock this
morning and gave the score previously
mentioned as correct. 1t was stated,
however, that the game was fairly won
by the Quicksttp, but that they were
cheated out OF it by the decisions OF
Burt, the official umpire, who was ever
hissed by the Brooklyn people them
selves. 1t was also stated that he um
pire had more to drink than he coul'
we'll manage. The Quickstep played /
60 ii game, and should have been tn,
winners The score is as follows:
