Quite q Great Game.

But still, 1t was sad TO lose yesterday
uume, because it was one of the gilt-edged,
outside of the mistakes just mentioned.
There may be consolation in the fact that,
though beaten, we are still in second place,
and it is only left for the home sluggers to
slug out revenge between now and Thurs
day evening.
There were $500 people paid for admission
Yesterday, and that was certainly good
Monday crowd. And they saw as exciting a
game as the most stoical would require. 1t
was pins and needles affair from beginning
to end. As stated in this paper yesterday
those Boston chaps are ball players, and it
seemed yesterday as If they had been hold
ing back all their good work only to unload
it here That little Beaneater, Nichols, was
nothing short of terror. just think, the
daring youth had the nerve to strike out
Pete Browning four times in succession. AS
q result Pete was willing to die; to retire
tncky, in fact anything. To-day 1t is likely
that Pietro will argue that yesterday was
only a dream and that he was not in the
game at all. He ordered two dozen more
bats last evening and a crayon of Nichols.
The latter certainly pitched great game,
and he was tolerably well supported.
Stratton pitched his first game for the
local club, and it is needless to say that he
performed admirably in the box. His pitch
ing was so effective that the visitors had a
very poor show to score at any stage had
hentuckian, he was mark Tor NICHOLS.
Were Victims of Nichols.
The representatives of the Sourmash Sec
ton were certainly not in il with the stick,
as Stratton struck out three times in success
sion, nearly tying with Pete in that line.
All the local fielders did well except our
third baseman. Mack made three bad
throws to second, but they were not
costly. In speaking of the errors it is
very seldom that Reilly and Miller are
both in brilliant form together. The mid
get" out in gay attire yesterday, and.
sure enough, his partner had one more off
day.
In the first inning Miller led off by strik-
ing beautifully out. Beckley got his base on
balls and reached secoud on a wild pitch.
Browning knocked up an easy fly TO Quinn,
but Carroll came to the rescue and lined a
fine single to right center, scoring Beckley.
Then Bierhauer struck out
The Bostons in their half went the home
fellows one better. After Brodie was out
Reilly made somewhat eXcusable tumble
of Lewis grounder. Then Long raped out
q single to middle and Sash's sacrifice sent
the runner to second and third. Quinn fol-
lowed with single to right and the two
men scored.
They Tied the Score.
In the third inning, after Stratton had
struck out, Miller made a single and stole
second. He scored or Beckley's hit, tying
the score In the fifth the homo players
took the lead. As in the third inning STRAIT
ton struck out, and Miller made double to
center. He scored on Becl1ley's single
But the visitors again tied the score. For
the third time Reilly allowed Lowe to reach
first on a tumble. This time it was a pal
pable blunder, after one man was out
Long knocked a fly to Browning, and ought
to have been the third man out. Lowe stole
second, and then Nash sent him home by a
long single to right.
The contest went excitingly on until the
tenth inning. Long led off for the visitors
and whacked out a three-bagger over Han
Ions head. Nash went out at first and Long
scored on a life hit to Miller. The score:
