WE DO EN- UP AGAIN.
MEMPHIS CRAwLs THE FRAME OF
CHARLESTON A SECOND.
McAleer Deserves Many Bouquets for
His superb work-Monk Cline Keeps
Up HIS putation-No Game at New
Orieaps-Other Contests.

tween Memphis and Charleston was
played yesterday. The result WAS that
which everybody expected, yet they hoped
20 be treated to better exhibition OF the
national sport. There seems TO be lack
OF interest, warmth and enthusiasm among
the players this season. There isn't that
vim and push and energy in the contests
between these two clubs which one nat
urafly expects 10 see in battles upon the
diamond. The players act with GOODNESS
inconsistent with the welding OF the will
low and the throwing Of the sphere. May
hap the clubs bayontwarmed up.
With the exception Of one inning the
performance Of Saturday was almost re-
peatcd. Memphis opened on n scratch
hit by Cline, assisted by rceking error
on the part Of Strict, which was followed
by three runs in addition to Cline's.
Charleston made fine squirt in the fifth
inning, being able TO bat Nichols all over
the field, making seven good clean hits
and five runs. But here they stopped.
The game, however was greatly improved
on account OF the squirt.
The great feature Of the game was tho
superb batting, baserunning and fielding
Of McAlecr. lie was nj the bat five times,
made Eve base hits and three runs. Cline
did well also, but he succeeded in getting
around on errors.
