There were nine sore boys in LonG
Island Thursday morning. They were
the Long Island base ball nine who
went to Phillipsburg the day before
} and lost their scalps in a gene witt
! the boys of that city. Thegsme mus
have been very poorly played on bOtE
sides as the large record Of scorer
would indicate. Our boys had become
over confident, having beaten every
thing coming in contact with them thil
year, and played careless game. 1
will do them good in the end to &c
beat once. Leader.
If the weather permits the ball clut
will go to Long Island Saturday Il
play a return game with the LCnE
Island nine.
