BASE BALL!
What the Home Team Have Won
and Lost in the Past Week.


The Harrsburg's and Lancaster's
played a match game on the Third
street grounds on Saturday last, and
the home team walked away with
their adversary's to the tune of 9 to 2.
The game was interesting through
out, and was witnessed by about 500
people.
HARRISBURG S AND CHAMBERsBURG's.
On Monday the Harrisbureers
played their first game away from
home this season with the Chambers.
burg club, at Chambersburg. The
game was flied with errors, and
owing to the small grounds and many
lnexcusable errors, the home team
were defeated by the pride of the
Cumberland Valley. A free picnic
would not have done the people az
much good as to have their club cap
tnre game from the interstate
champions of So The Chambers
burg club was at home on their billy
grounds, and ii they could remain at
home they might capture most any
club which would play them. They
played, however, fair game, and
DeSriy every two base hit carried the
ball over the fence. None of the
ilarrisburgers distinguished them
selves, except keccius, who made two
three base hits. The following is the
score by innings:
Harrisburg, 03l2 0OlOl 8
Cbambersb'g,4 ? 5 0 3 OOO14
PHILADELPHIA REDS as. HARRISBURG.
A worse disappointed set of men
never left the ball field at the conclu-
sion of game than the Philadel-
phia's, who were scooped in by the
HsrrIsburg's on Tuesday afternoon
TO the tune of 10 to Z. Nobody
thought the home club would win,
but expected to see them defeated,
because Of the game at Chambers
burg the day before. But base ball
is one of those uncertainties on which
fellow can't always rely 1t was
evident from the manner IN which
the home team commenced slugging,
that they went ia to win. The game
opened with the reds at the bat, and
were retired without making a run,
when Rcccius went to the bat and
was given first on balls; he was fol.
lowed by Caswell, who made safe
hit; Knodell and Daley both made
base hits, but Rec. and Caswell both
failed to score; Munyan, however,
came to the rescue with a two base
hit, which brought in two runs. Five
Iuns were made in the first inning,
giving the home team a safe lead,
which they managed tokeep through
out the game. Of the seven runs
made by the visitors, none were
earned, while Harrisburg earned five
of the ten runs made. In the sixth
inning brilliant double play was
made by Daley catching a difficult
fly and throwing to third in time to
shut cut Donohue, who was making
for that base. The three runs scored
by the visitors in the ninth inning,
was made on bad errors of the home
team.

The Harrisburg played in Lancas-
ter Wednesday and Thursday. The
game Wednesday was won by the
Lancaster by score of IL tn 8.
Slach was put in the pitchers box,
and they knocked him all over the
field. The umpiriug was very unfair,
80 much SO that in the seventh inUino
Captain Daley called his men in
from the field. The game was how
ever played out.
HARRISBURG VS.. IRONsIDEs.
The game between the above
clubs was also played at Lancaster,
and was another case of bad umpir-
| ing and rain, only four innings and
half being played. Bradley, the new
third basemau. is an Improvement,
and played fair game. Welded and
Munyan were the battery, aud done
good work. The Ironsides are
strong team, and played almost
fauItless game. The game was called
at the end of the fourth inning on
account of the rain. The umpire
and the crowd wanted to force the
playing Of the five, so that the game
would Re declared in favor of the
Ironsides.
