Base nall.
The Wilmington and Cincinnati clubs
played another game yesterday after
noon, which, up TO the seventh inning,
WAS close and exciting, the score stand
ing three to three ct the close Of the
sixth inning. In the beginning Of the
seventh inning, Murphy, while at the
bat was struck by the ball at the hands
OF the visitors pitcher, which complete
ly stunned him for . few minutes, and
SO affected him that he was unable to
pitch with his former effectiveness
after being struck, consequently they
batted him rather freely and succeeded
In scoring four runs, aided by several
bad errors Of Benners, who dropped two
fine fiys, and made wild throw to the
in-held. McCloskey played good
game behind the bat, but was unable
to throw down to second and was credi-
ted with three errors, all OF which were
wild throws. Say, Bastian and Snyder
carried off the honors at the bat, while
Murphy, Cusick and Cullen each got
In hit. The bases were well covered
by Snyder, Bastisn and Say. Fisher
at short played fairly we'll but little
too slow. although. .lseauRht the run
ner every time aud only had one error.
Cusick, at right field, caught two diff.
cult fly balls, enc Of whioh was very
ins catch. Cullen also made a good
catch In an opportune time. For the
visitors, Burns pitched and Crotty stood
behind the bat. The former pitched a
good game, and was we'll supported, al
though Crotty had all error and two
passed balls. Glasscock at short played
most brilliant game and upon several
occasions where hit WAS almost GER
tainty, he would grasp the ball and
Held It with almost sleight.of-hand
movement. His playing was greatly
admired.
The visitors played q much better
helding game than the day before, but
we vouchsaie tho assertion that il Muir
ply had not been struck by the ball
they would have suffered with the sec
ond defeat. The Cincinnati made 10
hits with total of II and 8 errors,
while the Wilmington are credited
with Singles for total of IL bases
and Q errors. Umpire Dutton gave
much better sa..sfactiou in yesterday 3
game,and there was no fault found.
The score follows
Cincinnati 01OOO2 OF
Wilmington 020O1 1000 0-3
