MARTINS FERRY.

The Red Stockings have been playing
ball lately and are earning themselves an
enviable record among the amateur clubs
in this vicinity. Aside from the game
they dropped to the Wheeling League
team early in the season, Icy have lost
lat three games this season, n Of these
at New Castle, was stolen from them by
the manager Of the Newcastle club, who
umpired the game. Our people are taking
quite an interest in the game, and the
cinder banks and outskirts of the grounds
are crowded every time a game is played.
George Roach is managing the club, and
has taken in quite a lot of new blood.
Kennedy and Burke, of Bellaire, are the
new battery, and with Paden and Feeterer
and Mallory for the changes, the club is in
good condition on that score. The club
will retain its organization and it is hoped
that during the winter, by means of enter
tainhents and otherwise the Red Stock
ings may possess ar enclosed gronds next
season. They are open for games with
any amateur club in this vicinity.
