The Lebanon club was given an awful sot set
back in Harrisburg yesterday. When the
club was hore en Tuesday the manager
said he was saving Daily, whom he con
sidered his best pltcher, for Harrisburg.
M r. Daily was put in yesterday, and ha was
hit for nine runs in the second Inning.
Pfann, the Detroit wonder, was then hit
very bard, and Second Baseman Meran
llnally went in. The score was 18 te 1, in
favor of Harrisburg.
The backers of the National Leaguoare
beginning te ilnd out that the sympathy of
the public is with the Players. The latter
have drawn the most people ever since the
opening, and the figures ofyesterday show
that the Players, with but three games,
had mere than twice as many admissions
us the old organization with four games.
Jee Simmons, the veteran base ball man
ager, has just been elected te take charge of
the Wilmington team. He Is a geed man
and in 1884 managed the best club Wil
mington ever saw. He will take Barney
Stevenson's place at once and will no doubt
make many changes.

Mr. Brockenbridge no doubt referred te

the terrible crime, nnd It is said, his labors
have been amply rewarded. Just why an

be made then. It Is claimed that the eri

Lancaster city will have an Hinbul.ince
wagon at last, hut It must thank the pro
prietors of the l.NTEt.LKiENi'iai for it. A
city as wealthy as I-incuster should net
depend upon publle charity as a means te
supply se necessary a want. It does net
leek very well. We ere inclined te think
that it is net the rich that build up the city's
interests, hut the workers who are net
