GAME OF THE SERIES.
A Beautiful Game Until the Eighth
Inning, When Ewing Is Pounded in
Grand Style by tho PelicanS-- Games
Elsewhere.

Well 1--WE sigh, New Orleans won the
first game OF the series from us yesterday,
and that after game seven innings OF
which were as fine exhibitions OF the
national sport as were ever seen on these
grounds. Every player OF both mines was
very earnest in his work and fielding at
every point was sharp and brilliant. Mem
phis made two runs in the first inning, but
that didn't scare anybody. Shorty Fuller
wakened the boys up by fine hit Of the
first ball thrown by Ewing, and his asso-
ciates helped him around. The score was
tied in the third inning and continued 30
until the eighth, when the Pelicans
jumped on Ewing as he has never been
jumped on before. They pounded, pelted
and raped him all over the field. Such
downfall was never so complete, because
his work had been superb. He struck out
six men, and was supported magniiicently
by Vaughan. But New Orleans made Ave
runs in this inning.
The features Of tho gamo were the pitch
ing Of Ewing and Widncr, the playing Of
Vaughan and Moolic behind the bat and
their throwing 10 second and Jack Snoed's
base running. There was not chance
however open for man 10 steal second
safely, Fuller played his base well but
Phelan made two very bad errors which no
doubt lost the game, because Sneed would
have been retired in the eighth inning had
Dick held the ball.
Cline opened for Memphis with daisy
two-bagger TO left field. Reccius hit TO the
same place and only got his first plate on
wild throw and went TO second in the same
manner. Vaughan struck out and An
drows brought Cline and Reccius home on
his fine hit for one base 10 center field.
Andrews and Phelan were retired. This
made two runs.
Fuller started the ball for the visitors in
the samo manner which Cline did for
Memphis and came across the marble on
Jack Snecd's sale hit foI one base 10 left
field for a single sack. Noodle hit to Rec
cius who iumbed the ball and allowed
