Base BaiI Fixtures.
On account Of the rain last Thursday,
the Manager of the Lambertvilles tele-
graphed TO the Manager of the Bristol
Club. not to come, and received an answer
to which be said that he would not send
the club, but that part of them had left
Bristol for our city, without his consent.
On the arrival of 1850 P. NJ. train, part
of the Bristols and Cuban Giant player,
got off the train in charge of Mr.. George
Renoffs formerly of this city. According
to the above arrangements some of the
Lambertvilles had gone away, and it was
agreed that picked nine play the parties
at 4 o'clock, with the following result:
Bristol, 8; Picked nine, 8.
The game Of base ball on tho Associa.
ton Grounds, last Friday, between the
Printers and Clerks of this city, was a
success so far as the Printers were con-
cerned. The main features of tho play
ing of the Printers we're Messrs. P. X.
Hazen, at third, with smile, played
with vim; B. II. Joiner, in left, was kept
busy running after fouls; Van Solver, lin
full uniform), in centre, watched for the
fys; Todd, in right, was kept busy; Bay
ard, at second, assisted by Harry Joiner,
(the SHORTY, did some good; Roberts, (the
veteran base ball player, at first, did ro-
markedly well considering his weight;
Harry Joiner at short did splendidly, he
played all over; the battery work of Jos.
Hazen and Regan, was we'll done. The
| playing of the clerks showed that they
knew how to play ball. There was Black,
at first, who was always ready, but some
times missed; Van Horn, at second, was
little short, but he got there; Master
Wilson, at third, needs practice, but
plays we'll for one so young; O'Loughlin,
in right, somewhat fatigued, took his
part and the principal feature in his play
ing was one of the Cuban Giants slides;
Slack, in centre, watched and waited fol-
the flies, but there was none to be had;
| Finger, at short, did well for one that has
had no practice; Master Gregg, in left,
did not play up to his standard, owing to
his hands being poisoned; the battery,
Cunningham and Abbott, did nobly. All
hands were well pleased with the after
moons sport, and no doubt after little re-
cruiting up they will repeat it. There
seemed to be several cases of rheumatics
for two or three days afterward, but at
tention brought all hands around again.
The Umpires John Ely and II. G. Vert,
and the Scorer William Slack, have the
thanks of all players for the different
parts they took in the game. The fol-
lowing was the score: Printers, 12;
Clerks, 8.
Boys look out, you have got something
to do tomorrow. II you attempt it, do it
right. Let every player be at his post
aud play as of old.
Don't bat for home run. 1t is safer
to make good base hit.
Since the absence of Secretary A. p.
Kerr. DIR. G. A. Jewell has taken his
place until his return. The Doctor is
very active, he is not only looking after
the interests of the boys, but for fish and
snakes.
Brace up there, or we will have to sug.
gest shoulder straps. Try it tomorrow,
and you will find it will work.
Tomorrow Thursday afternoon, the
loug-looked for game comes off. 1t Is
the crossing of bats between the Lambert.
vile and Doylestown Clubs. The Doy-
lestowns have strong team aud are com.
ing over to take the scalps of our boys
We have our doubts about 1t, because oul
boys are in better trim now then they
have been this season. Game called a
3a5.
We suggest an occasional practice O.
our players. All the clubs that have
visited our city, have daily practice. i
will not only make you fiIst-class amateur
players, but professionals. just to think
of it.
The Doylestowns will bring large
number of their citizens with them. We
understand that all the teams in the town
have been hired. 1t is hoped there will
be nothing to take place TO mar the plea
sure Of the visiting club and the people
of their town.
