Just outside the city limits, the teams played
this afternoon In the presence of 5000 specta-
tors. Three big excursions were run up from
the Queen City, and this crowd was swelled by
a couple of thousand Hamiltonians
Before the game, Managers Schmelz and Nc
Gunnigle and the players of both teams were
taken out and arraigned before a white
whiskered, red-nosed country Squire who in
formed them that they were under arrest for
violating the State law that forbids the playing
of ball on Sunday. That was all of the legal
interference at that time.
The Reds did nothing with Caruthers in the
first, but the visitors fell upon 1.-The cyclone"
with force Collins got base on balls and
FoutZ a two-bagger. Then Burns made a tap
which resulted in Collins being put out at the
plate. On Pinkney's double into left both run

beautiful drive to right, but was doubled on
Caruthers' hot grounder TO McPhee. Beard

muffed the throw and saved Jim's life, but
base-hit killing act at Nichols expense With
Foutz out at first, Burns lifted the ball over
the right field fence and ran home but owing
to a ground rule it cut down his magnificent
hit to two bases. while Foutz also had to walk
back to third. They did not linger there very
long, for Pinkney smashed at the ball for two
pillows, and both of them tailed.

nice hit and then Mullane drew base on
balls Reilly hit long fly to left, which
OBrien caught after a great run. Carpenters

by a Jump. Hub touched second and Carpen-
ter was out but a wild throw past Foutz
enabled the other two runners to score.

the score to in favor of Brooklyn, that
spectacle not on the bills occurred. Visner
began business with hit too hot to handle
and Caruthers was at the bat, when a commo-
ton at the outer gate directed all eyes to that
spot. A battalion of police, Is in number. COM
manded by Chief Lindley, walked in. In a
moment the field was crowded and play was
suspended. The is players were marched out
to wagons and carriages and taken to the city
building, where they were arraigned before
Mayor Dirk. Not word of testimony was
heard, and His Honor simply fined them S.

Cincmn att club had to foot. Several of the
Reds did not appear at all. they going out into
the woods, where the aforesaid whiskered
justice held court to empty benches. The in
terrupted game will be PLAYED at Brooklyn
when the Reds reach there IN September

for Baltimore tonight. warrant for Bob

no time in changing his cap and mingling with
