THE NATIONAL GAME.

! New Haven Gives a Game to NeWarks IS to 6-The Umpire Helps Them Along Considerably -It was not | Hard Luck bus she Worst Kind of PIay1ng-Miller Batted Hard and is | Taken ous Of the Box. . I One thousand people saw the Newarks | play their first game in this city yesterday. They also witnessed an imposing spectacle in the gift of the game to the Newarks by the | New Ravens.
 Tommy Corcoran and O'Rourke were de. | cidedly off in their playing. O'Rourke has ! not been catching well of late. One thing should be said of some who sit on the bleachers. Instead of criticising and making some uncouth remark about player ! if he makes an error, why not encourage him. Stand up for your own team and you will find the men will play better. Two players have already lost heart on this account. The New Ravens have been playing fine ball, winning five out of the last seven games played. Every team will have an off day and yesterday was one for the New Ravens. If 1t were not for errors there would be no base ball.
 Doran pitched winning game, and was not batted hard only after chance had been
 
 started in to hit Miller hard, and In the seventh inning Dooms was substituted. He was very effective, not safe hit being made off him.
 The outfelders of the New Ravens played good ball. Lally again made a couple t.f zs-. Ma.kaDIe catchee, ana Burdock also distin guished himself with some good stops and one phenomenal running catch. In the first inning, after Brady and O'Rourke flied out to the outfeld, Burdock got his base on ballss He stole second and scored on Lally's clean hit. John Corcoran also hit safely, but Galligan went out. Fields got his base on balls, for Newark, but was left on first base.
 In the second New Haven should have had one run. Tom Corcoran hit safely, and took second on Schoeneck's sacrifice. McDermott fumbled Doran's hit, and with Corcoran on third Brady hit liner to Miller and Corcoran was doubled up.
 Doran pitched but three balls in this in- ming, each man hitting at the first one pitched and going out at first.
 In the third O'Rourke made a single but it availed nothing as double play retired the ing in this inning. Sullivan led off with @ hit. Lally then made two splendid catches of flies by Miller and Coogsn. Tom Corcoran made hard run backward after Johnson's fly.
 The feature of the fourth was fine stop Oy MCD0TmOtG. Wn6U IQ0 N6WafkS caEQ0 10 the bat they were made present of five runs. Fields hit ball which both Corcorans went after, but which Tommy took. He fumbled, and he was going to throw it, but seeing he couldn't catch the runner tried to hold the ball in his hand. It would't stay, but slipped out and went over to the horse gate, Fields taking third base. Hayes flied out to Galligan and Fields scored. ManselI made hit, and as he started to steal second Burdock ran up to catch the throw, but McDermott hit the ball just where Burdock had run from. Smith got his base on balls. Then followed play. which should have retired the side. Sullivan hit to Burdock, who cut of Smith at second, and Tommy Corceran got the ball to first in time to put Sullivan out, but Umpire Knight looked wise and couldn't see it. Miller was given his base on balls. Coogan hit the ball slowly, to first base, and Burdock ran in after it, 50 did Schoeneck. In consequence of this stupid play the run was safe, and Burdock in toss ing the ball to Doran, who had covered the plate, it went into the crowd and two runs came in.
 In the fifth New Haven got three runs on singles by Doran and Burdock two bag ger by Lally and muffed fly by Fields.
 New Haven tied the score in the sixth and everyone thought they were going to atone for their bad work, but they didn't. Coogan made fine catch in this inning. Newark came to the bat and made six more runs, after three men should have been put out.
 Burdock started off by making a phenome- nal catch. Dooms came to the bat and hit safely. Then Burdock protested on the ground that he had TO business to bat until after he had been on the field. He was per- feotly right in his claim, but of course Mr. Knight couldn't see it. O'Rourke muffed Brsdy's throw, and Tommy Corcoran muffed O'Rourke's throw, which, followed by sev- eral hits, brought in six runs.
 The Newarks got two more in the eighth on a base on balls, an error by Tommy Cor coran, two sacrifice hits and single.
 There was one consolation, Burdock pro- tested the game because Knight let Dooms bat when he had no right to. Knight was away of yesterday. He doesn't seem to be much of favorite with the spectators.
 NEW HAVEN. NEWARK.
