EASTERN LEAGUE.
Errors by Buffalo Gave the Game to
Providence 3 to 1.

Errors by Buffalo Gave the Game to
Providence 3 to 4.
II the Buffalo Club had played an error
less game il would have defeated Provi-
dence by a score of to o, but the errors
came and that made 1t an altogether diff
ferent story. sft
For four innings after the game was
started neither side scored. In each
inning Buffalo went out in the one, two,
three order, while there was but one man
in gray to get further than first. In the
nth inning, however, something dropped.
Murray reached first on an error by
Weddige, and got to second on McAuley's
tifui sacrifice advancing both men
base and Lyons knocked q high
fly out to right center field.
Drauby got under it but dropped it, let
ting Lyons take first while Murray
scored. Bassett knocked q liner down
to Stearns and went out OF sight
and Knight duplicated the po-
such speed that the gentleman on
first took one look at the smoke and de-
cided that it was better to make one error
than to take the ball and lose q finger.
The ball went down to the carriages and
both McAuley and Lyons scored.
Again an exciting series OF innings, with
out score being made and at the ninth
second in single and slow playing and
touching the plate on single by Collins.
The game largely belonged to the pitch
ers, and they did their duty SO well that
only ii single hits were made, five by the
Gray's and six by the visitors. The
game was well played, the general support
being excellent, while Lyons did some
fine work In the centre
pasture.
The Buffalos will play q championship
game with Providence at Rocky Point
tomorrow.

SALT STICKS.

They Go Well with n Bit of Cheese
and Also with More Beer.
A queer looking old man, carrying q
large basket in n hand and a cane III
the other hand, can be seen any day
%plodding along the German section of
the East Side, where he has become Il
well-known figure. He travels from
one saloon to another, selling salt
sticks which is his menas of liveli-
hood. For nearly twenty-five years he
has been a conspicuous figure on the
East Side, and from the profits derived
from selling these salt sticks he has
been enabled to support a large family.
He does Il good business because of
his genial nature. He always has Il
kind word for everybody.
This industry of making salt sticks"
Is practiced by but n few bakers, who
dispose OF them to these merchants
cheap. and who in turn sell them for
&c q piece, or three for &c. While the
salt sticks or salzstange, as the Ger
mans call it, is unknown in the Ameri-
can cafe, it is, and has been for a num-
Der of years, quite the thing with the
German saloons. There was at II
time quite a number of these salt
stick merchants. but of late they have
dwindled down to a few, among them
being the old man who was n of the
first in the field. The salt stick" is Il
long piece of baked dough besprinkled
with salt, which, while it makes it
very tasty, also makes them very
thirsty. thus benetiting the saloon-keep-
er. whose customers are compelled to
satisfy their thirst with more beer.
But this does not serve to lessen the
popularity of the salt sticks Ger

eat them with a relish. No game of

They form a very tasty morsel Woen
eaten with a piece of cheese. For this
purpose they are cut in half and the
cheese placed between them. They
are called salt stick sandwiches" and
they are a great appetizer for beer.
