MORNING GAME.

SALTWATER, July 4.-The game to-day
between the Muskegon and Saltwater base
ball teams was witnessed by nearly 1000
persons, and was one of the best audiences
so far on the home grounds. The day was
all that could be desired, and the feeling
among the players was excellent. Saltwater
again won the toss, sending the Saw Mill
City men to bat to the battery of McCue and
the catching of Fowler. The pitching was
not as effective as that of Quinn the previous
day, nor was the catching of Fowler any
thing equal to that of Dealy. The errors on
both sides were about equal, but the passed
balls by Fowler either advanced bases or let
runs home. They were also equal in having
bases on balls, although in this also the Wis
itors were more successful, as the batting
following such in most cases resulted in
making runs. From the way the game
opened it looked as If Saltwater would have
been whitewashed, but in the fifth innings
Peters made break, scoring run, and
Pickett's two-bagger bringing Visner and
McCue home, but he only made third base
himself owing to Fowler being out by Mcy
ers to Brewer. In the eighth inning two
more runs were made, through Pickett
making two-bagger, Schomberg getting
first by an error of Rainey, and Peters fol-
lowing witha two-bagger, bringing both men
home, but leaving himself on second.
Roache's catch of Browns hot ball at short
stop was heartily applauded. The boys did
not play as well together as yesterday, and
from the first 1t looked as If they did not feel
that they cared to win. They did not ap-
pear to be at the place they were wanted.
Fowler got hot balls enough from McCue, and
they appeared to daze him. Although he is
an excellent and rapid thrower, it looked as
if it was hard work for him to throw from
the plate to Peters at the second base. There
was nothing brilliant whatever in the play Of
the home team.
The visitors went in with rush, and the
first man, Donahue, got his base on balls,
stole second and third. and got home on
Myers base hit, who got out at second by
fielders choice. Wright, with base hit.
stole second, and got home by Cooks base
hit, whilst Brown, who had got first by field
er's choice, stealing bases and the hits of
Wright and Cook, also came home, making
three in the first inning, In the second they
went out in one, two, three order, but in the
third they made two runs, Rainey starting
out with a three bagger and then home.
Myers got his base on balls, and Wright by
an error of Roach. Myers got home by
sharp running of bases, and stealing every
chance. In the fourth inning they went out
in almost regular order, only that Donahue
made a base hit but died there. In the fifth
inning Myers made the only run. He got
first base on an error OF Pickett, stole sec
ond. and got third and home on passed
ball by Fowler. Patten got a run in the
sixth inning, through his own base bit. steal
ing second and third, and Donahue's base
hit The seventh counted nothing, but in
the eighth Cook scored one, by a base bit, and
excellent running Of stolen bases. Although
there were two base hits in the last inning,
our boys had got down 30 well to their work
hat they were unable to score.
The visitors made three double plays in
fine style. In the second inning Visner
sent a iy to 3'yers, who caught it, and also
caught Schomberg, who was running for sec
ond. but tried to get back to first. In the
fourth Nelson and Jones made a fine play,
and in the seventh Brown made Just such a
play as Myers made in the fourth. The Wis
itors ployed no better than on the previous
fav, and the home team had only to blame
themselves for the loss Of the game. Jones
began the pitching, but soon gave place to
Nelson. The following is the score:
