tons-Game This Afternoon

An interesting game OF ball was seen at
,hc Cbestern,id dlimond yesterday, Nhen
the Mountaineers, OF stanton, defeated
the Cherubs. OF Hull street. In seven In
nings. The cranks we're plentiful, with
n fov OF the old favorites absent from
their accustomed places, and In the grand
stand the summer main was appareled In
the horticultural exhibition effect on the
headgear. and heaved deep signs when
Mr.. Johnson. the Appolinaris Belvidere OF
baseballdom OF these parts. was struck
In the side by the ball from the hands Of
the bold bad pitcner.
The gentleman with the mineral water
name decorated the box for the Noun
taineers, and did nice work. lie was poor
ly supported at the beginning or the con-
test by Yeagers, who failed utterly IN
his attempts at stopping up shoots,
and out curves, and that citizen was sue
ceeded by that nll-round dead-game-sport
T.lsey. He plays ball In the summer so
that the scent Of newly Dnown hay may
affiliate with his nOStTils. In the winter
he throws aside the liver pad and parrot
cage, and goes out looking for scrap.
He usually gets II. and for his pugllistlc
endeavors done with due regard for n
few rules given the world by the Mar
ouis of Qucensbury, he puts money IN
his purse and Is enabled 10 gaze on $J0-
900 pictures at the Hoffman House.
The citizen with the pomdogical appel
lation did the honors Of the box for the
Uilites. and did them well, while that
little authenticated child, Oscar Foster,
decorated his Titan features with the wire
arrangement, and got near the plate with
the empire-cut chest protector. oscar was
cbx or fuQfC
but then tbs human to err. even If you
have red hair.
The game started with the Cherubs TO
tho bat and after Kahn had ended his
career at first, Foster shook the dice for
the cigars and drew a base on called
balls. He sauntered TO second with
obout the same grace as he uses while
leading a Fulton german. and betook him
self 10 third when Messenger made
feint at throwing the ball Yeagers then
allowed the sphere 10 bang itself against
the grand stand netting, and the auburn
haired youngster went home Napier IN
the meanwhile had also drawn base,
had gone 10 second on Morgan's sacrifice,
and chased homeward on Vests single.
The Stauntons. however, made run In
the same inning. thus making the score
two 10 one in favor of the Cherubs. me
bali that put Hoffman out at third gave
Elsey his base. and he stole second as
easily as some policemen do peanuts. lie
went to third on Johnsons bunt, ana
crossed the plate on Ziglers sacrifice.
In the third the Mountaineers made the
admirers Of the Cherubs sick at heart and
the voice Of the "rooter" was hushed ana
silence sat enthroned on the bieacheres
like the debutante doing the Queen-of-the-
May act. The inning began, and-bin,
there was a hit. Second man-blff. fhird
and fourth men, ditto Fifth man, same
thing. Seventh man, ditto. Add TO this
and include one two-Dagger, one passed
ball, one wild throw, and you have the
total sum OF five runs The Cherubs had
I'm the first part OF the inning sent one
man across the plate on hit, stole base,
and two-bagger by Foster, made the score
six 10 three In favor OF the visitors.
In the fourth after Foster and Kahn
had gone into the dressing room, and
made a few sAlaams TO fortune, the
Chernbs struck luck and four Of them
crossed the plate. Lemons got his base
on balls. stole second reached third on
muff by Zigler, and crossed the plate
on a passed ball. Becher was hit by the
ball, went to second on Zigler's error,
the passed ball gave him third, and he
scored on q wild pitch. Kahn got his base
on called balls. stole the next two bases,
and went home on Fosters hit. The lat
ter stole second, went 10 third, as lie
had done once before, on a balk, and
crossed the plate on Napiers drive TO
left
Hoffman. for the Stauntons. then began
the ending of the fourth, and received
first on a muff by Napier. he went 10
third on Elsey's two-bagger, and scored
on an error by Foster. Elsey also cross-
ed the plate on the same error.
In the seventh the Cherubs received
their eighth and last run. West went 10
first on Paynters tumble. stole second
and scored on Bert Bradley's hit
The Stauntons then went IN and won
the game. Zigler made his second hit
and went TO second on Fuitzs sacrifice
lie went 10 third on Yeager's hit. and
crossed the plate when Kahn made a bad
throw. Yeager went to second on that
same play. went up TO third on a passed
ball, and went home on Fry's two-baeecr.
The eighth inning was commenced. but
II grew so dark that the game was call
ed by the very satisfactory umpire, MIR.
ORourke. of Calais.
The detailed score is as follows:
