CAN'T PLAY BALL.
The Interior Journals Beat the lancasters
Clean Out Of Siaht.


THEIR FEATHERS CLIPPED. When the
INTERloR JOURNALS went to Lancaster
"Wednesday and were defeated by that
club. not only the base ball players Of
that nine, but most oi the town people
went wild over their success and feel.
ing OF conceit evidently penetrated their
very souls. In fact they forgot that they
were merely amateur players, and not
very good ones at that and when the
manager OF the /. is casually remarked
that they could not beat his team again,
filthy iucre was showed at him and he
was forced to either put up or shut up.
Arrangements were made then and there
for another game, which was to be Tor
800 a side, and Friday afternoon was
set for the date. The understanding was
that each club should play the same nine
that they played in the game previous,
but on account Of the sickness Of Critch-
low and the inability OF Burton to ,eave
his business, q couple Of our substitutes
were put in. This Manager Penny told
the gentlemen who We're seemingly anX-
ious to put up their tin, but who at the
mention OF the substituted players de-
ciared the bets were oil. Manager Pen
nv also explained to them that the sub.
/ s,itutes were no better than Critchlow
and Burton and offered to let them be
/ their own judges as TO their playing. but
/ the heretofore spOrtive men had 50 wilt
e that they could hardly be induced to
/ bet on their own existence. Ii was finally
agreed that the winning club should be
entitled to the gate receipts and the game
was then called and the Lancasters suf
iered the severest defeat that any poor
base ball club ever heard OF in these
parts. The home team went TO bat and
made 3 runs the l. is then scored Is
the Lancasters made nothing in the %
but scored in the Sd inning, and righ
here they died, for with all their har,
playing they could not make anothe
run. Our namesakes got three in the 2d
3 in the 81, in the 18th, Is in the 9Th an,
9 in the 9th. At this juncture OF tn,
game the boys who had crowed so loudl
since our Waterloo OF "Wednesday, grew
sick at heart aud threw up the sponge
the game standing p to I. 1t is no tel
ing what the score would have been hat
not they given up the game, as our boy
We're literally pounding the life out q
their 'crack' pitcher. FL Coleman; To
catcher was broken down and two OF tn
basemen were worn out Ramsey an,
fmbry were our battery and did goo,
work, the former allowing only tour bas
hits and the latter supporting him al
mirably. viii Wearen umpired an eX
ceedingly satisfactory game and the con
sequence was there was no grumbling
One of the features of the game was DaN
ison's putting men out on LIST withou
an assist, and another was the goo'
throwing OF our boys, not TO speak OF
baggers and several 3-baggers that wer
made of OF Pitcher Coleman. Our clu
is under obligations to that clever gen
tleman, Woodiord G.. Dunlap for courtt
sizes received, as well as TO several othe
Lancaster gentlemen. We never cro'

club we would suggest that hereaftt
