BASE sAll.
Maslspa, League eamss.
AT BOSTON.

BY a strange mixture of hitting and
poor fielding, Brooklyn piled up IL runs
against Boston in the first inning of the
first game. The Brooklyns had great
streak of batting and made seven safe
hits in succession, and 1t was not until
Is men had gone to the bat that they were
retired. Seven of the runs were made
after two men were out NOtwithstand-
ing the game was lost, Nichols was kept
in the box till the fourth, when. with the
bases filled and three runs scored, Hick-
man was placed in the box. He did not
inspire confidence in the first two innings
that he pitched, but after that became
steadier and did fairly well. Dunn
pitched and fielded his position finely.
Shindle. Lachance and Shock played su-
perbly. The second game abounded in
sharp fielding, excellent pitching and fine
hitting, being a decided contrast to the
first game. Lewis proved an enigma, and
Tenney. Long, Duffy, Collins and Hamil-
ton were notably effective. The second
game was called in the seventh on ac-
count of darkness.

Baltimore News: The beauties of
the double umpire system were never
more appreciated than yesterday, when
though there were several close de-

shown by either side. Especially was
Emslie alive to the necessity of being

Manager Stallings, in a letter dated
Friday, from Baltimore, to Treasurer

Dan Advocate drew the pole in the
green horse class, Annie Morrill, second.
Midget third, and Big Jim the outside.
In the final heat Big Jim trotted be-
hind Dan Advocate for part of the
heat, but got ahead of him before a
half mile had been trotted and kept his
lead to the finish with Dan Advocate
second, Midget third, and Annie Morrill,
fourth. The latter ran a great deal.
The second heat Of this race was
without feature. The heat was trotted
with the horses strung out in the order
Of the finish which was Big Jim first,
Dan Advocate second. Annie morrill,
third and distanced, Midget last and
oistanced. There was no running or at
least very little and the two leaders
cid very creditable work for horses
that are on their first circuit.
Just before the third heat Charles
Chisholm of Augusta, went into the
judges stand and notified the judges
that he could show that Big Jim had
record of sos made last year and was
therefore not a green horse. He said
he would not have spoken about it had
not Big Jim shut Midget out. Big Jim
won the third heat and first money and
Dan Advocate took second place in the
heat and second money. Third and
fourth money went to the society.
