A GREAT GAME.
Won by the st. Louis Team From
the Stars.

The usual small audience which
occupies seats in the grand stand of
late, were present at last Saturdays
game OF baseball between teams OF
the St Louis and Star clubs They
got their moneys worth to the full
est extent by being witnesses to the
fastest and best game played this
season and also to the tempest in
tea pot caused by the Stars baby"
not obtaining his wishes to the ex-
tent desired by him. People inter
ested in the protested (and uu-
inished) game OF July 9Th, between
the Stars and st. Louis, knew that
the last half OF the ninth only OF
the game, was to be played and so
did Umpire Angus. The last half
Of the 9th was played by the st.
Louie, cipher being the score, the
delayed game thus becoming tie.
"Oliver Twist" wanted "more" but
the umpire did not connect with his
wishes so the game will be played
off later. OF the regular game it
compared very iavorably with the
best returns received of the great
professional clubs in the United
States the score being small and the
time of game faster than any yet re-
ported on any Eastern diamond.
The trouble commenced for the
Stars in the last half of The first,
Thompson getting first on an easy
hit by 3rd, Christ Willis sending a
three Dagger to the fence sending
Thompson home and coming in i'm
mediately after himself on a wild
throw. Gleason found 1st easily,
stole Fad and Bird and came home
on Clarke's hit. Hansmann aud
Holt both went out and Clarke died
on 2nd; runs, 3.
In the third innings st. Louis
added two more runs, Gleason and
Clarke both coming home on Hens
mann's hit, tumble by Mahuka, and
wild throw of Lishmsn. In the
fourth innings St. Louis banged
Rabbits pitching as they pleased
Willis getting in another 3 base hit
sending Thompson home, a wild
throw by Hart over LIST intending to
cut Kiwa off allowed Willis home
and another error permitted Kiwa
to keep on running until he reached
the plate in safety. Gleason, Clarke,
Lemon and Holt were aided 10 tally
by errors OF the Star players, and
Dayton even had his foot almost
home when he died. The score now
stood II for st. Louis to 0 for the
Stars; even the big policeman in the
grand stand covered his badge of
office with his coat sleeve. And
thus the score stood until the end of
the 9th innings, the time occupied
being but LII. Amin. speedy play,
when it is considered that IL runs
has been made. In the seventh inn
ings the Stars buckled their belts
tighter aud went at their batting
with "do or die" air. Babbitt got
first but died at second, by reason of
Woods easy hit to short. Woods
reached the first and went to second
on easy hit Of Koki to right. The
cd veteran McNicholl swatted the
ball into, an unprotected spot by
center by getting two bases himself
and sending Sam Woods, the first of
the Star men, to touch the home
plate. Lishman got first and stole
second, intthe mean time Koki got
home, Hart went out on a fly to
Thompson, and Wilder died at first
In the 9th the Stars picked up two
more taller, Woods and Koki both
scoring, the st. Louis, in the mean
time, from he 9Th on only adding
cyphers to their score, that az the
close standing II for ST. Louis and
4 for the Stars.
