A Good Game Between the Champions
and the Altas-Other Matters.
A large assemblage of spectators wit
messed the game at Agricultural Park yes
terday between the Hayerlys and Atlas.
and were well repaid, as it was close and
exciting struggle. The diamond was in
splendid condition, level as billiard table,
and, Notwithstanding the strong breeze
prevailing, there was not particle of dust
The game started off well, Hayes making
run for the Atlas in the first inning and
Lawton one for the HaverlyS i'll the third,
with which exceptions no runs were made
by either side until the seventh, and some
fine playing being done. In the seventh
Lawton and Bennett added to the score of
the visitors, and in the first half of the
ninth Meagher made tally for the home
club. The excitement at this time was in
tense, as Hayes had made his way to third,
and if he got in the score would
be even. Flint had been put out at first, at
the same time Meagher scored, and there
were two men left, Fisher and Ahern, but
Incell struck them out and the game was
over. In the fifth inning the Atlas were
entitled to run they did not get. Fisher
ran in from third on a passed ball, and
Hardie, the catcher threw the ball to In
cell. who had taken his position on the
home plate. AS Fisher got there Incell en-
deavored to touch him, but failed. The
umpire. Billy Renfro, thought he did
touch, and declared the runner out Then
the spectators, with unanimous voice, got
up and " kicked" and for two or three in
cheered the Atlas. The umpire had done
fairly up to that time, and the spectators
had been feeling kindly towards the visit
ors. He made little error Immediately
following Fishers run, letting Hennessey
have four strikes instead of three, but that
didn't count for much, considering the
way the latter who is certainly out of
practice, was playing. In the eighth in
ming Incell was declared Pit out at
second, when he had not been touched,
but from where the umpire stood it
looked as though Hennessey put the
ball on him. 1t goes to show the difficulty
of the umpire's position, and how easily it
is for a man with the best intention to
make mistakes. During the game Nc
Laughlin got hit on the head with the ball,
receiving hard thump and and slight
cut. This and the growl over the Fisher
decision, took the sunshine out of him,
and he later used fighting talk, which was
certainly an error before an assemblage
already excited The batteries on both
sides did their duty well. Incell was
especially strong, striking out II and hav-
ing 20 assists. Barry struck out s, had IL
assists and 3 putouts. Hanley made a
splendid running catch of foul, just
saving himself from colliding with team
of horses. The Haverlys, though pleased
with their victory, felt illused by the audi
ence, and they were. The error of the
umpire should not have been visited upon
them. Those spectators who are so
anxious to show their desire that the home
club should win, out to remember that the
game would not be worth looking at if not
closely contested, and encourage both
sides. The Haverlys feel as if they were
kicked from pillar to post, when they play
at the Bay the crowd is always against
them, principally for the reason that they
are SO rarely defeated. Following is the
score of Yesterdays game.
