ATHLETIC SPORTS.


PoRTLANDs IA: HOvEYS 5.
What wonderful improvement in batting was
the expression heard on all sides at the Portland
base ball grounds Saturday; and it was the truth.
The 9. F. Hovey g. Co. nine undoubtedly the
second strongest amateur club in Massachusetts,
they having played fourteen games in that State,
and lost but one of them-to the John L.Whiting &
Son clab. Saturdays game here was the fifteenth
game they have played this season and it was the
second one lost by them. The Hoveys are fine lot
of young men, and they are not only ball players,
but perfect gentlemen. The game was opened at 3
O'Clock by Mr.. Chase of Brown Univei sity, the
umpire, and Barnes stepped into the box. AS usual
he hit safely between centre and left and was fol-
lowed in succession by Abbott with single and
Fish with two-bagger; Callahan went out on first
Hutchinson hit for base, and Chatterton did like
wise; the next two men struck out and the inning
closed with total of five runs for the Portlands,
three of them earned. In this inning the hardest
aud safest batting was done by the Portands during
the game. The second inning gave the Portlands
two runs and the third three runs. one of them
earned, leaving the score at the end of the first
half of third inning 10 to tor the HoVeys The
Hoveys opened the third inning with Baker at bat
men on bases Baldwin the next batter was captured
at first McAloon got first on Malloy's error and
Murphy was out No runs ought to have been
made by the Hoveys, but the numerous of the
Portlands for one inning enabled the Hoveys to
work in five runs. From this time the Hoveys got
only Two base NUS anu nau IL not Deen Tor the I'M
fortunate third inning the Hoveys would not have
obtained but four hits off Fish. The Portlands got
in the fth and three in the eighth leaving
the score at the conclusion of the game IA to in
favor of the Portands. On account of Chatterton's
turned ankle, Barnes was allowed to run for him
one inning, and he had no sooner touched the base
than he was OF like flash and stole second in
laughable manner. CULVER, as usual. played
magnificent second, and Barnes played the prettest
centre field game seen here for years. Malloy made
a handsome throw to first, and Abbott played
pretty game ChattertOn played good third, but he
is slow in throwing to first. He must throw quicker
Robbins of the Hoveys filled the pitchers box in
fine manner and CObe supported him beautifully.
Chatterton and Barnes got seven of the fourteen
base hits for the Portands while the batting of the
Hoveys was about balanced. The following is the
score:
