At that timo the team was at fts lowest depth, aud yet, with Burtls umpiring aud Bmith and Waitt both in the list, they mado five hils, Yesterday Barnes dropped oue over second and Eggler got a bounder paat frst,—and that was all the nine was ablu to do fn tho whole game. It was a melancholy spec- tacle of [alten greatnesa to ses McVey, Anson, Peters, Hiues, and Bpalding take twenty trials at the ball aud never get as far as first baso ex- cept Ly permission of Gerhardt or Crowley, If this had been fn A game against a unew plicher, the spectators would have decmed him o phenvmenon (ndeed, but jt was ouly Devlin, whom every one of the five bas batted agaln sud agaln, and made goud records ugafust, Can it be that the menarc gettlog carcless because tha scoson is nearly over! Yesterday they shuffled arouvd home- plate like o parcel of vld women. To uifset this Jane and lmpotent battiog, the aine played a beautiful nlding gawme, and des served credit for thelr sharp vbrk around the dlawond.’ It will be useless for the players to gay that the cold weather destroyed thelr bate ting ability, unless they can also explain why it did not hurt thelr feldiug. The game was played with Spalding oo third base and McVey on first, the ' chauge belng wade to oblibe ~ thoss 'patrons who had read of Bpalding's play at third and wanted o gee hiw there for oue game. 1u tho tirt [n- ning Barues sod McVey ot on bases with no baud, out, but Auson, Peters, and Hiues popped up fouls, und 0o cun cane in. to the fourth Inning Anson was muffed by Geruarde, but the umpire soun cqualized that by giving hiw out t third on 8 very bad error of fudgmcut. {n thls general way thiugs went on up to the ointh inoing, when MeVey took tirstun called balls, gud Anson sent oue between Crowley's.legs. Here was what seced s chauce fur some runs —a wan on third and unother vu second,withuo haud out. Bug Peters bit a fly to Shafler, Hinee tipped a foul to Suyder, and Spalding dumped a tender ona down to Crowley at second, leaving the men on their bases, and the game a white- wash. To speak of what *“we Juve heen ' winkl be to say thut “we used to® bring in runs o T third by sacrifica hits, but wo evidently have lu_r{umn how, hie vleitors batted along falrly enongh up to the etghth innine, but were prevented from ecoring by sharp play, notably in the fifth {n- ning, when (ierhardt, Craver, and Snyder were on base, with no hand out, Crowley hitupa fly, which Barnes tried to muff for adouble play, but the umpire refuscd to see the volat, and zave it a cateh, Latham then hit to Rels, fore- ng out Gerhardt at home, and Hugue hit to Peters. In the elghth fnnin Crowley drove a very sharp and awkwanl Dounder at Spalding, ‘on thirl, and It struck the latteron the fout, but got away into the field, giving the striker second. Latham fol- lowed with an easy bounder, which Spalding promptly handied and as promntly aent raiting nway over first base into the scata, letting Crowley home and Latham to third. The up- shot of the matter was thres more unearned runs, making n total of four for the Innjng and the game, it Is questionable whether Spalding Incurred an error in not putting out Crowley on his hit, but it scemns as he should have hell him st first. Had he done that much, no run would have been made fn the fnning, These *ifs " have nothing specially to do with the game, but are fnserted here to declde the beta of Mesars. IR, B, nml'J.
