The pilgrim" base ball nine, COM
posed Of bartenders in the city, aud the
angels" or "NTcGinties," played an
alleged game of ball at Recreation park
yesterday. To the surprise Of every
body the Angels flew away with the
Pilgrims, defeating them by score Of
% tol The Pilgrims had expected to
clip the Angels wings. The umpire
was colored man, who said he was no
sucker, couldn't be bulldozed, and had
umpired all over the State Of Pennsyl-
vania. He referred with pride to his
pedigree. which was well known in
Pittsburgh.
The Pilgrims furnished three balls,
which were lost in the course OF the
game, which then came to stop before
all the innings had been played. Cap
tain Jack Crogan, OF the Pilgrims, was
at loss to account for the poor show
ing made by his club, bnt asCribed it to
the want OF practice on the part of his
