BASE BALL.-A small crowd witnessed
the game yesterday afternoon at Lynchburg
between the club of that city and the Alex
andrias, which resulted in score OF IL to l
in favor of the Lynchburgs. The News says:
Yesterday the Lynchburgs met the Alex.
andria club and defeated them with ease.
The home team played an almost errorIess
game. The Alexandria team played poor
game, making only one run, while the
Lynchhurgs made eleven. The visitors had
several opportunities to get in runs, but they
didu't seem 10 be in trim. The Alexandrias
had the misfortune to be without the aid of
their best pitcher yesterday, who could not
make arrangements to be here. To day,
however, Winkelman will pitch for the
Alexandrias. With Beach and Winkleman
as their battery the A!exandrias are conf
dent of winning"

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9-For some time past
the Pennsylvania company has been contem-
plating annulIg the agreement by which it re-
ceiyed from and forwarded for the B. & o. Rail
road Company through freight for New York
By the terms of the agreement the Baltimore 81
Ohio was to ship all its freight over the Penn
sylvania lines. 1t was recently learned by the
Pennsylvania officials that the Baltimore &
which portion of its through freights were
forwarded from Wilmington TO Birdsboro, over
the Wilmington e. Northern railroad from
thence to Allentown, over the Philadelphia 81
Reading road, and from the latter place 20 New
York City over the New Jersey Central. With a
full knowledge Of the fact that the contract was
not complied with the Pennsylvania Company
early in July notified the Baltimore & Ohio that
unless the violation ceased they would refuse to
receive and forward the through freight as per
the terms of agreement The Baltimore q Ohio,
it is alleged, paid attention to the notice,
and the result was that, to-day the Pennsylvania
Company notified the Baltimore & Ohio that
hereafter, local rates would be charged on
all freight received from or delivered to it
at Baltimore. An official of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company stated to night that the agree
ment between the two companies had been vio-
lated for several months past by the Baltimore
& Ohio, and he supposed that the action of his
company was based upon this. Vice-president
King of the Baltimore 65 Ohio, said Il have
heard the rumor that such notice has been
sent by the Pennsylvania Company. but don't
know anything about it officially. J. shouldn't
be surprised if it were true"
