THE NATIONAL GAME.

A Poor Game In Which Lowell Comes

 Lowell and New Haven met on the How- ard avenue diamond yesterday and after New Haven had been successful in gaining lead of five runs the Lowell players yielded their bats with such telling effect that when the game was finished Lowell was the victor with ten runs to her credit, while New Haven had but eight. It was wretched exhibition in which the only redeeming feature was Lowell's heavy batting. Gilliland started in to pitch for Lowell, but kept Murphy jumps ing about the plate 80 continuously that German took his place in the fourth inning.
 At the end of the third the score was to 1 in favor of the home team, but in the fourth
 Homer went to pieces and Lowell secured
 team took the field in the fifth Doran took
 Horner's place in the box. The change
 was not appreciated by the spectators,
 and resulted in giving Lowell two
 bases on balls and four hits during
 the inning. The game became interesting
 only in the last inning, when the home team
 seemed likely to tie the score. They made 8
 good attempt to do so with the aid of LoweIl's
 errors, but did not quite make it. German
 was altogether too much for the New Haven
 batsmen. A gentleman from Providence
 named Hunt essayed to umpire the game. He
 afforded considerable sport by his peculiar
 down. east sort of @ way of announcing his
 decisions. His judgment on balls and strikes was bad. both teams suffering equally. He evidently preferred calling strikes to balls and may have umpired some amateur games, he calls strike. He is new acquisition for the Atlantic association.
 New Haven started the game to win. Bra- dy led of with base hit and stole second. Schachern struck out, Burdock hit to left and Brady scored. Murphy let 8 ball pass him on which Burdock went to second. Lally struck out. J. Corcoran got his base on balls, to third, on which Burdock scored. Mckee went out from short to first. Second inning in one, two, three order. New Haven got three runs more in the third: on base on balls, a wild pitch, an error of Days, hit by J. Corcoran and long hit of McKee's on which the latter tried to reach second, but was caught just off the base. For the next four innings New Haven was rapidly retired while Lowell was piling up the runs. The latter got her first run in the third on base on balls, passed ball and hit. By lucky punching of hits she added two more in the fourth and passed the home team in the next inning by adding five runs to her score This was Doran's first inning. The runs were made on two bases on balls and four hits. Another run was added in ! the sixth on Burdock's error and Stalz's tive bagger. An error of Schoeneck's and a two l base hit by Day made Lowell's score 10 in | the seventh. In the eighth New Haven 1 pulled up on her opponents, making two ! runs on hits by Burdock and J. Corcoran and Days error. In the ninth the bases were | full with nobody out and New Haven had an | excellent chance to tie the score, but Schach- ern hit to German who threw to Murphy put l ting out Schoeneck at the plate, and Murphy got the ball to first in time to put out Sohachern. But one run was made in the inning.
 Lowell played some of her new men. Shin
 nick played a good game at third, but ! O'Brien did not distinguish himself at sec
 ond. In the first inning J. Oorcoran should 1 have scored as the ball was blocked, but ht clung closely to third.
