With tbis unders*andine the Ret Stockings chose John R. Brockway, of the Groat West- erm, as umpire, The game commenced at 3 o'clock p. m., in presence of a crowd of about 10,0 persons. many of whom were ladies. The first innings was decidedly in favor of the Haymakers At theend of the secoud inning: the first signs of dissatisfaction with the um- pire were mauifested by the Haymakers, who assert thet although he scored thirteen for them and ten for the Ked Stockings, set the latter were orly entitled to four. Atthe end of the Gitth innings the Haymakers claim to aave put cut eighteen men. The umpire gave them | horses.) 5, Joshua Davis; credit for fifteen only. The dissatisfaction of the Haymakers, which had b:en increasing during the game, culminated at the commence- mentof thesixth innings. The score was then, according to the umpire, seventeen to srveu- teen. The innings commenced amid much ex- clement.
