bled at the base ball park yesterday A.
ternoon 10 witness the game between
the Wilmington club, champions Of
the Eastern League. and the New York
Metrorolitans, the coming champions
OF the American Association. While
the audience was not overly sapguine
|of victory for the home team, it
was thought that the game would be u
fine exhibition and . close contest.
Both teams were good bit of, but the
visitors were out played. and were
credited with more errors than the
home team, the defeat being attributed
to BastiAn who had three miserable
errors, which were very disastrous.
Burns and Say both had an error in q
fatal time, ell of which gave the visitors
q good chance for scoring their desired
victory. II the club had played Its
usual fielding game it would have
again defeated the American Associa.
ton team.
Nolan appeared on the diamond at
his best and pitched hne game, while
Cusick supported him in admirable
style, and no fault is laid 10 them for
the loss Of the game. During parts Of
the game the home club played a good
game, but their six errors being bunch
ed, allowed the visitors to gain good
lead, which was hard to overcome.
keefe and Holbert were the visitors
battery, and worked fairly well, but
were likewise poorly supported in the
field at various times, Roseman the CEN
tre.felder, alone distinguishing himself
by fine playing. Only one run of the
entire thirteen was earned, and 1t was
the opinion of the majority Of the spec
tators present that the home team WAS
by far the best club Of the two and
could easily defeat their opponents In
series OF three or five games. As
good plays were scarce, whenever they
were made the audience cheered Justify.
