There is no Disgusting the fact as pretty
an exhibition of ball playing as one need
wish to see was given on the Howard ave-
nue. grounds yesterday afternoon by the
New Haven and Boston clubs. The home
team especially played ball from start to
6nish and thoroughly convinced the thou
sand or more enthusiasts present that there
is just as good material in the local nine as
In any club in the association. The home
club both outbatted and outfielded the Wis
itors from the Hub, and had they been q
little more fortunate in punching their
hits, the score would have told different
story this morning. Every man on the
home team put an amount of dash and
ginger into their play, which was a revela-
ton even to their most ardent admirers
Horner was in the box for the home team
and by his clever manipulation of the
sphere held the hard hitting Bostonians
down to a total of six hits. "Jack"
pitched the entire game and plainly
demonstrated his right to be
| star twirlers in the association.
Henry also distinguished himself by max
| ing two star catches in right field, one a
| long liner from Nash's bat in the fourth
inning and the other a hard hit ball from
| Quinn's bat in the sixth. To reach the
latter, which seemed good for at least
three bases, he was obliged to jump nearly
a foot into the air. He succeeded in pull
ing down the ball amid the admiring
plaudits of the spectators. "John" il
playing the game of his life this season,
and can safely be depended upon to take
| good care of everything that comes out
into his territory. The only error made
| by the home team was the dropping of a
| high foul by Horner. The play was very
| excusable as he had long run to get I'M
der the ball and was slow in starting for
| it, suppcsing that Hofford was under it.
The second base play of Wilson was also q
pleasing feature of the game and he
handled every thing that came his way
tors the short stop play of Long was a
revelation to even the citizens of this city,
accustomed as they are to the brilliant
playing of Lang and Tom Corcoran in the
same position. AS one of the players ex-
pressed it last evening: "There was no
chance of winning, for even the best Of
base hits were stopped by that wonder al
short. This was to a certain extent true
as the home team was deprived of many
hits which would have ususally been safe
by the phenomenal playing of Long.
The visitors secured their runs as fol
