yesterday between the New-York and Boston mines
WEIGH and Burrell were New-YOrks battery, and the
odds several to cipher that Boston would win
before bail pitched Just 1870 spectators went 10
the distant grounds witness the asco and the poor
work OF the Giants and the management VIII not
increase the number OF friends Of the local team.
Captain "Buck" Ewing's uselessness 20 his men
again fully illustrated. He put Burre in to catch
and kept him there for innings. while Arthur Clarke
so per better catcher and a-around player was
kept the clubhouse Wech kept IN the game Tor
nine innings when little common-sense Captain
Ewing's part might have saved the game. II Barr or
John Ewing had been substituted, the chances are that
New-York would have after they had tied the score
In the sixth inning.
This is poor time IN the year to experiment, but
Captain Ewing does thnk Why Burrel
was put behind the bat yesterday. with Buckley ana
Clarke In condition play is OF the things nobody
can understand. The Giants bated WELL as the round
dozen hits will testify, and with Barr and Clarke as
battery, the Giants might have the game

will be needed the Philadelphia games. Juds
