COLUMBIAS VICTORIOUS.
THEY DEFEAT THE BERGEN POINT
BASEBALL TEAM.
The Points of the Contest-Annual Games
of the Club on Analostan Island-Mr.
ScanIon's Promises to Washington for
Next Season.

The threatening weather yesterday, the date
set aside for the second game of the champion
ship series between the Columbia Athletics and
the New Jersey Athletic team, of Bergen Point,
N. j., caused anxiety among the Columbia
ranks early in the day. AT 130 the sun peeped
out after the rain, and at 2 o'clock it was shin
ing brightly. 1t was expected the grounds
would be a mire, but when the first contingent
arrived on Analostan Island the field was
found to be in satisfactory condition. This
was due to the excellent care of Signor Tomaso
O'Neil, the track master. The teams arrived at
3:20. The grand stand was gradually filing and
presented an animated appearance, the ladies
being numerous. The teams were photographed
just before game was called by Messrs. E. j.
Pullman and j. E. Buckingham Jr. The duty
of umpiring devolved on Mr.. Winfield Scott
Larner, and it was we'll discharged. The indi-
vidual playing of Green at second, Burke at
centre, Dickinson in right-field, and Wells
at flrst-base was magnificent, while the
battery work of Walsh and DAILY was
better than that of any professionals seen here
in long time. Walsh has all the curious
shoots has excellent control of his delivery,
and his speed is marvellous, DAILY caught him
in great shape, and his throwing to second was
the team played we'll. The New Jersey boys
play we'll, bat strong, and run bases like 104
sprinters The game opened up bad for the Co
lumbias, as Walsh went in to pitch without any
practice and the visitors almost batted him out
of the box. The run-getting of the visitors
commenced in the first inning, when, by four
successive hits by w. Currie, Smith, Wester-
velt, and McBurney two earned runs were Sc
cured, the feature of the inning being Burke's
throw from center to home-base to cut off
runner. The visitors did not score again until
the sixth inning, when a base on balls and hits
by Fisher and w. Currie allowed Westervelt to
score. These were all the runs they made,
though they had men on the bases several
times, but the clever fielding of the Columbias
kept them down. The Columbias were totally
uHable to do anything for the first five innings,
but in the sixth inning they got down to work
and opened up in such manner as to cause
great enthusiasm among their admirers. Here
is the way it was accomplished King reached
first on balls, GREEN'S hit sent King to third,
Green stealing second. Bolway hit and King
scored, Bolway stealing second. A passed ball
allowed Green to score. Sprigman was hit by
pitched ball. There We're two on bases and
the excitement was intense as big, brawny
"Tubby" Dickinson came up with his bat. He
missed two strikes, then hit slow one to
pitcher, and that player, eager to make good
play, lost his head and threw wildly to first-base
Bolway and Sprigman scoring, and Dickinson
reaching third. Then ''Tubbyn played Oft third
and on an attempt to throw him out ran like
deer for home, overturning everything in his
path, and scoring amid great applause. Walsh
then went out. With five scores to their credit
1t was dollars to doughnuts that the Columbias
would win the contest, thus making another
contest necessary. Dickinson's catch in the
