All who saw the game on Friday afternoon be tween the Boston Ked Stockings and the Kekfords wore confident the Brooklyn boys would play an equally good game the next aay (yesterday); but they were greatly mistaken. When the two nines came together yesterday afternoon the bettlag was only silgitly in favor of the Boatons, and there was every indication that the game would be a close and exciting one, Having lost the toss the Reds went to the bat, and before retiring Wey scored a ran, which they got on a very bad overthrow by Shelly ‘to first base, The Kekfords retired from this inning, and, 1 fact, from the next seven, without scoring at all, wittle the Bostons, through errors Of Maviin, Swandell, Holdsworth and Hicks, soored three more rans in the fourth inning.
