sATURDAY,s BAI1 GAMEs.

The victors made a change in their lineup Saturday. Blansfie1d took Be- Hnski's place at third, Ivers went to first and BeHnski to right field. The result was that the Victors played one of the fastest games seen hereabouts in some time.x BIanshe1d's fielding was of the tsphenom'' order, some of his stops being simply marvellous. Herbert continued his good stick work, making his usual homer. IveFs covered first base in good shape and trapped out two singles. He relieved OtRourke as catcher in the sixth and performed brilliantly behind the bat. Cunningham used the willow to good effect.
 Foster pitched with rare judgment and had the Ansinias standing on their heads. Balow gCdpnelly played a fine game at short fof the visitors, bue he was not able to- do anything with Fosters pitching. The score was II to in favor of the Victors.
