lowed and the young man is still very
sick. he is likewise delirious, and oc-

Lost TO Wilmington.
The Wilmington Club again thoroughly
disgusted its friends by allowing the
Jersey City club to defeat it yesterday

bases ON balls until the bases were filled,
and then allowed them to score on hits.
The Wilmington club piled up five
runs and led in the first two innings.
The visitors batted Cox in the third, aud
he gave three of them bases on balls
five men scored. Then the msnager
made bad break by substituting Newell
for Cox.
Newell cannot pitch, and he'was hit
nine times in five innings. The field
work of the club was good. The visitors
played fair, all-round game. The
