The Baltimore boys had practlcaily no
opposition. They batted with less l9rce
than usual and played more carelessiy Vnnh Vs,

He did this and made an honest and
painful effort to play the position, but II

both batted freely.
soME GOOD TLAYs.
There were some few good plays made
during the afternoon, and they were
pleasant reliefs to a very monCtOnous pTo-
cceding. In batting, Fosters hit over into
the river. on which he made home run,
and Householder's rec-baeger 20 right

heartily checrcd.
NcCaffrev made a very handsome run
ning-catch in right field. aud assisted in
a double play ny quickly delivering the
ball to Hill at second. whore another man
was cut OF.
ORourke. tho Richmond's new short
stop. played his position well and made
two hits. The people were very favorably
impressed with him.
