The game on Wednesday was much more
interesting. The Patterson club is good
one, and the best in Baltimore. A few weeks
ago the Frederick club defeated the Pattersons
by a score of to l, but the latter club did
not have its regular battery. Frederick IS
now afraid to play the Paltersons, although
they have had extra inducements offered them;
On Wednesday the Pattersons had their full
club on the diamond, though the club had
played on two days in succession and were
not in very good trim. Yingling, their pitcher,
who had been playing in the Northwestern
League, and made great record, striking out
an average of nineteen men to the game IN
the last seven he played there, had also pitched
two games in succession, and was not IN
stgood FORM" Besides, he got his arm badly
scratched and cut in sliding to base on
Tuesday. In the first two innings four hits
were made off him, one three: Dagger. and
he gave way to d. Pointer the balance OF the
game. The Westminsters did not play with
their usual vim and energy, and did not han
die the willow with the usual effectiveness,
only making nine hits while seven famed the
wind. The visitors made but six hits off
Houseman, while twelve struck out. About
three errors were made by each club. For
the home team Miller made three-bagger,
Morgan three singles, Anders a single and a
double, and Pfarr, Nicholas and Zepp each
made singles Zepp struck out three times,
and Anders, Houseman, Clabaugh and Pfarr
once each.
Nicholas, the old catcher on the Westmin.
ster club, came home on Tuesday, and played
short stop for the Westminsters. When he
went to the bat he was loudly applauded, and
answered by making clean hit.
The score by innings was as follows:

released on Thursday. The club, however,
will not disband until next week.
Nicholas, who played this year on the Man
chester, New Hampshire, club, arrived home
on Tuesday. he was general utlltY man vi
the club like Pfarr in the Westminster team,
and played every position on the club except
pitch. He caught in "a out of the first y
games played Since then he has been play
ing ali around His batting average was
.2S6, and total batting average .324, and held
ing average .767. In club of seventeen he
was fourth in batting and eleventh in fielding:
The Manchester Union says of him-'Nicks
geniaity, .droll sayings and ways will be greatly
missed. The Manchesters did not possess a
more faithful or useful player.
The managers of the Westminsters wrote to
Manager Barnie of the Baltimores, few days
ago, asking for game, but the reply was
received that no dates were open, and the
club would disband on the goth.
