Perhaps the want of interest was
caused by the fact that the money
went the wrong way-out of the
peoples pockets instead oil into
them-who knows.
One success has been scored in
Mobile lately, and that is that the
Mobile Base Ball Club completely
shut ont in nine whole innings, The
vain-glOriOns Frank Waters nine OF
New Orleans. Some months ago
this club came over and played OuI
clnb Il game which thei: catcher,
HanlOn, made so disagreeable as to
annoy the whole audience, and after
changing umpireS in the game three
times, the Mobiles gave up the
game on the iiith inning, giving
them Il score of nino to nothing.
After that the Mobiles went to New

either in New Orleans or nc home,
heard IL single sgueal. They were
beaten, aud like honest fellows, they
accepted the situation, aud that
ended il. On the eleventh of this
month this club returned to Mobile
for another game with the Mobiles,
and they got it.. Yes, indeed, they
got it badly. Completely shut out.

members of the club. But they 90,

says, "Ehey rode us out to the park
