THE stock Of the Charleston Base
bail Association, il is said, is quoted
at $50 a share, IS above par.
It's a cod day when Sneed doesn't
make more than one error at short,
and yesterday was rather summary.
RICHMOND has almost entirely re-
covered from the effects Of his fall,
and will resume bis plsce in the field
next week.
The Charleston team have a neat
and comfortable bath.house at the
Baseball Park, fitted up with all de-
sirable conveniences.

If the Hon. Mr.. Black can be in.
duced to play at left field to-day, and
il Manager Sneed car be persuaded to
keep away from short stop, we may
possibly, perchance, perhaps, win a
ball from a very bum nine to-day, IL
we play in big luck.

By the terms OF the game the probes
SIGNALS had to put out six amateurs
each inning. They did II easily, win.
ming by a score of 80 to 0. The anna
teurs got one hit.
WANTED, a new stock Of excuses fol
the Memphis nine. The old onei
about want Of practice" "cripplet
catcher" ETC., have been worn thread
bare, and are unfit for use. A liberia
reward is offered for a brand-neV
duplex-elliptic, corrugated double
back-action excuse, warranted to ii
every case.
THE only sure tip we a give on
readers to-day is that Augusta will de
feat Chattanooga beyond a reasonably
doubt. Everything else is doubtful
but the odds are in favor Of Macor
defeating Atlanta, and Memphis get
ting q victory from Charleston. Sa
vannah ought to beat Nashville, bu'
il the "Only Nolan" pitches for Savan
nah the latter club is almost sure to b
beaten.
The batting OF the st. Louis club a
st. Louis yesterday was simply superb
and but for the splendid fielding O
the Cincinnatis the latter would hav
been beaten out of their boots. Tn
support of MCKeon was not only wei
sustained all the way through, bu
was really magnificent, the visitor
making but two errors in the ten in
hinge, smidst all the very heavy bal
ting Of the home club. Score-BrownI
IA; Cincinnati, II.
The Metropolitaus were again dc
feated yesterday by the Brookly
club in a game at Staten Island. TIL
Brooklyns outplayed the Metropol
tans at every point, PARTICULARLY field
ing. Mcclellan and Phillips made

Nelson was spiked in the secon
inning and Helbert took his place. 1
the third R~eipschlager was hurt an
Crotty took his place. Score: Metro
politans, 8; Brooklyns, 6.
ONE OF the largest crowds ever PREF
ent at a ball match in Philadelphia
witnessed the game yesterday betwee,
the Athletics and Baltimore. The az
tual number Of paid admissions wa
12,432. Tie game was an ~interegtin
one and was lost by the home clu
through their inability to hit the pitch
ing OF Kilroy. Only one sac hit wa
made by the Athletics, and that was
scratch hit in the eighth inninG

Athletics, 3; Baltimores, 8.
AN absurd rumor went the round
yesterday that the reason Memphi
was defeated was that six new me
bad been added to the Charleston
Club since Saturday. There was no
a word of truth in the report. Tn
nine that beat Memphis yesteTda,
was the same nine, man for man an
position for position, that was defeste'
by Chattanooga Saturday, with thi
exception, that Conway caught Wey
hing Saturday instead Of Lausier
weighing pitched in two out Of tire
games that Chattanooga won from
Charleston, and Clark and 0'Nei
we're the battery in the third game
II Clark pitches to-day we ma.
