Home-Runs Made-Tho Contest Re-
suited in n Score OF IL to 3.

The suits came. were donned by the Rich
monds yesterday and christened with the
sprinklngs Of victory.
1t was great afternoon for the Giants.
Headed by the First regiment drum corps.
they were driven through the city in carriages
with their frends-the enemy-the Winstons.
and they looked like dear pretty Fifth avenue
dudes out on holiday. The first carriage
contained Manager Donati. ex- Manager Ben
Metzger and Manager Baitty. Then followed
the players, four in q carriage, and the whole
affair was stylish
Well directed enterprise and style is good
investment usually. and yesterday was one Of
the usually times for when Mehan stepped
into the box in tho first inning 1855 spectators
watched his every move.
THE NEW SUITS.
The suits arc excellent productions. Mr..
Metzger selected the cloth and color. and de
serves great deal Of credit for his admirable
work. The color il gray with black hosiery,
and hobby looking caps and belts complete
the uniform. Luck was supremacy happy IN ms

20 SKIP about the catchers stand with
O'Rourkes shirt or Tate's trousers. and Eos
ter will ne or again run through Donatrs crop
of grass looking like Lying advertisement
for punt factory.
The latter individual would never do TO
match ribbons on bargain day. He has the
most inconcevable ideas about the comblna-
ton of colOrs that any man could possibly
possess for he will wear the most unholy
looking garments and saunter around lett
field with n nonchalance that could only
possibly be seen in O Beau Brummel. Foster
plays ball. however, for he don't go out in
DOnati's plantation to muf flies or tumble
grounders He is an honest and conscien-
tiOus player. and though the sun may be play
inc tag in every one Of his auburn locks, he is
going TO get the sphere if there Is any posi-
bio chance and throw it up to third base with
q remarkable show OF weu-dlrected agility.
BIO TATE.
Tate, If lie had possessed anything else but
elephantine proportions would have been out
OF sight Yesterday He really looked well.
His clothes ft him spiendihy. and he pre-
sided at fist-base with the airs of O man who
plays the villain in the first act, and whose
schemes are progressing with rapidity that
could only be equaled by Loantaka winning
the suburban.
West pitched yesterday, and held the visi-
tors down TO five hits. He did phenomenally
well, and surprised the spectators consider
ably. His delivery was better than usual. and
Luck caaght him splendilly. O'Rourke went
down in right field and did not get chance
at the sphere the whole afternoon. KAN

fifth inning made magnificent slide TO
home.
HOMR RUN.
Luck madea happy home run. He knocked
o hot grounder TO Farrell aud that individual
exerted too much confidence and too little en-
ergy and fumbled it. A soon as he passed
first bag there was little discussion among
several Of the Tar Heels and Mr.. Graves as to
whether Luck touched first bag. The dis
cussion occupied everybody's attention, and
Luck came home IN great triumph before any
body knew what he had done.
Napier played beautiful game, putting SIX
mon out while playing ut third. and Enrght
held up his end Of the log at second bag.
Hits and good base running won the game
yesterday. The WipstoDs didn't seem able TO
hit West at all. while the Giants pounded Me-
han terrifcally. The following score tells the
story:
