Not since the tlme the Baltimores played
the Iichmonds at the commencement of the
season have The spectators witnessed such
an excellent game Of baseball as was seen AT
Island Park Yesterday. The game referred
10 il when the RichmOnds, after being de-
fpated in two consecutive games. beat the
BaliimOres by "a score of two 10 one. This
game stood on record for over mOnth as
ono o. the best-played games in the inited
states, but when the leagues got more IN
practice such scores constantly occurred,
and the honor given TO Richmond died
away like her other exploits years ago on
the diamond
Ever since then, however, there has
always been lin Richmond following for
the players of the diamond, and through,
from a financial standpoint baseball is not
profitable. still there are many who ENJOY
good game, and are willing AT all times to
patrpnize one.
The game yesterday would have delighted
their hearts. The Old Fultons crossed bats
with the Old DominiDns, and from the first

brilliant plays followed one another in rapid
succession. .strike-Outs were called as they
have not been for some time, and frst base

but few reached.

phenomenal as Lucke's throws to second. |

baseman Lumsden was touched with the |
sphere Just before he crossed the plate. Har-
rison in the mean time had gotten his sec

out Harrison made a run for il. Leitwch |
saw him, and two feet away from the bag |

much the same way. James Disney reach |

HARD WORK.
Throughout it was quick work for both |
clubs and more judgment was used than at
any Of the preceding games. Darby pitched |
a splendid ball, striking nine men out, but |
was slowly supported by Leftwch. The |
latter plays good ball, but he is too slow for
a battery game. Applegate was struck on
the right arm by Darby, but pitched his usual |
pretty curves. He was well supported by |
Lucke. who made his usual excellent record |
as ball-player.
1t is hoped that these clubs will be in
duced TO play game tomorrow. \ great |
many of the Labor men would attend, ana |
as the games played, including yesterdays |
same, resulted in a tie, the interest taken |
would be more than usual.
I'm the sixth inning Cullen went to first |
for the Old DOminOns. and made several |
excellent plays. The put outs and base
hits made by him are credited TO Barker
and John Disney. Following is the score of
yesterdays game:
