The Italians were heaving up signals
of distress from every quarter of the
field in the opening part OF the ninth
inning yesterday afternoon at the |. A. G.
ball grounds, when the erstwhile Phila-
delphia Giants had secured options on
every point of interest along the scoring
path, with only one man out. The
shades of night were fast enveloping the
hemisphere and at this iuncture Boss"
Comolli apparently decided to abandon
the battle. He wheeled from his posi-
ton and turned to the bench. This was
the signal for his teammates to with
draw. Umpire Carswell then decided
that ones vision was unable to respond
to the necessary illumination conditions
A howl Of protest issued forth from the
visiting team, as we'll as from the ma
jority of the remaining spectators.
When the game was terminated, the
italian A. C. had scored seven times and
the Philadelphia aggregation enrolled
five counters. The game was extremely
interesting, being marred at the opening

were obliged to refrain from play for
about a half hour. Before the condensed
moisture was sprinkled over the grounds
the colored team had scored once. The
local aggregation came back in the fourth
inning and tailed twice. They annexed
three more in the sixth and two more in
the seventh

With the aggregate I to with the
home nine having corner on the situa-
tion, the Africans candidly asserted that
something was to happen. The first man
ap fouled to Williams. Roberts, the
Beau Brummell of the visiting team, was

the throw to first, Roberts reaching sec
ond in good season. Rovetta, for the
second time, passed up Wiley, the sensa

were full and but one out, the game end

A couple of minor accident impedei
the progress of the game. In the third
inning Giaeamuzzi, the Italians second
baseman. was compelled to retire. owing
to a deep cut received in the forehead. |
The ball had been tossed on the ground
between short and second, both Glare and
Giacamuzzi making for the ball. With
their heads bent low, the runners coll |

ground by the impact. Witt, who had i
