Dallas scored her second victory over
Paris on the ball field yesterday. i
fine audience, both in numbers and
department, witnessed the contest,
which was highly appreciated, as
it was replete from start to finish
with exhibitions of splendid play.
Both teams were i'll better form than in
the first meeting on Saturday, the home
nine being complete in its personne,
as published in the HERALD of We ster,
day morning. The Paris team Vas tho
same, also, as named in that js.suc. Roth
went into the game confident, and nm 70
the fourth inning there was no choice
for the winner, the score stand
ing Paris 5, Dallas 4. The
visitors scored four runs in the
first inning, one of tnem being earned
and the other secure al on errors, mainly
on bad fumhles or throws from third to
first base. From that time to the end OF
the game, however, the home team inn
proved in its play, and only two more
runs were scored, the game terminating
with sore OF Dallas II, Paris 6. The Par $
team could do but little with Crawford
pitching, only three balls being batted
safely out of the diamond in the nine
innings. The home team did not take
to Walkers pitching as readily as ON
Saturday, and found it difficult to bat
him with any great effect, and had he
been well supported in the field the
Dallas score would not have aggregated
for the home team caught
another of his magnificently brilliant
games, and demonstrated that he is the
best receiving end Of any battery that a
Dallas club has ever presented. Two OF
his throws to second were notably fine,
and allowed Wilsey to show how Gle.

Paris, Johnson distinguished him.

from the bat, and Scales at centre field

beautiful double play, made of a bril-
liant catch and throw by the first-namcd
Hunstable for the home team led the
batting record and also secured a
beautiful fly ball at centre ON hard
running backward catch. The third and
llnal game of the series is to be PLAYED
to-day, beginning AT p. M, aud all who
desire to see close and exciting contest
should witness it. Both teams will be
the same as yesterday, except as to some
changes in position for the home team,
the principal ones being that Walter
Mansfield will pitch and Crawford will
play first base. The Paris nine claim they
can defeat Dallas with Crawford ont OF
the pitchers box; Dallas is confident of
winning with Mansfield to do the twirl-
ing, and the change has been made to
demonstrate the fact. This state of
affairs ought to make n most interesting
contest. The lovers Of the game should
turn out en-masse to-day, both as d
compliment to the gentlemanly visitors
from Paris, and also as tan
gible manner of encouragement to the
home team on the eve of it's departure
for Shreveport fora series of three games

ner to both clubs and will occupy the
same position to-day. The following is
