SANTA ANA, Jan. 26.- The recent
game Of baseball between the Wharf
nine of Newport beach and the nine Of
the McFsdden lumber yard, was bound
to have sequel, in fact, is likely to
prove the first OF q series OF games be-
tween the two mines mentioned.
A few days ago a challenge was sent
to Newport for the ball-players of the
beach to get ready for another game.
This was received with applause, and
sore fingers, and weak arms and tired
legs were common thing, as conse-
quence. A new ground was laid out on
the mesa, near the site of the old lumber
yard, as the sand of the beach is rather
an impeachment to base running or fly
catching. This improvement was hailed
with Joy by the lumberyard men,
especially as some of them have played
ball on the very same grounds in former
times.
The weather was rather foggy at the
start, but cleared off admirably towar DIS
noon.
The Santa Ana Railroad company
kindly undertook to provide carriage to
and from the grounds for the players
and sightseers. The grounds being con-
tiguous to the track, the coach was
drawn up there; from which vantage
point several ladies watched the game.
Among the ladies were: Mrs. Griffin,
Mrs. Kingry, Mrs. Hossler. Mrs. Hatch,
Mrs. Swartz and Mrs. Hickey. Among
the gentlemen spectators the most nota-
BILE were: Mr.. R. McFadden, Mr.. S..
White and Mr.. ]. H. Sharp.
The lumber yard men presented Mr..
Ed. Landon of Santa Ana aa umpire,
which choice suited the men from the
beach.
A coin was Tipped for first turn at the
bat, the lumber yard men getting the
best of it.
Mr.. Landon called game at 10.
Nine innings were played, resulting
az follows:
Score, 10 to %.
Scorers, E. Franklin for wharf; A. A.
Stewart for yard.
The game was concluded at 8 40.
Mr.. Landon's umpiring proved 30
efficient and satisfactory that he was
cheered before entering the cars. Every
body enjoyed themselves greatly and
were in high spirits during the return
trip.
A delightful social was given last night
by the ladies Of the Episcopal church at
the residence OF w. B. Burrows. A large
number was present and seemed to en-
Joy themselves very much. The pro-
gramme consisted of recitations, auction
sale of young ladies', and pautomimes.
Miss Steire OF New York added much
to the programme by her excellent reci-
tations.
At a seasonable hour light refresh
ments were served, ana all thought Mr..
and Mrs. Burrows excellent entertainers.
