[From the Cincinnail Commercial of yentc . _ The Red stockings descended gracefully from the celestial regions yesterday. Their reputation for invincibility is broken. N.., other-Nine ever bad such a fame as the Otie which yielded it up yesterday by an exhibition of tolerably loose play. The time:honored and very powerful Athletic Club. of Philadelphia, vanquished thy-Red Stockings in nine innings yesterday nftirtnoon, by 'a - score of 11 to 7. 'I lithe times in succession the Red Stockings have beaten the Athletics ; once last year by 27 thlB,, and again by' 7, tirrig t. and once:this Year bY 27 to 2/5. This is close work every time. j .fhe AthletiCs - liave bothing to plume' them selves abofit in viewing the result of their la •t recent encounters with the Red Stockings. The Cincinnati Nine has been deemed invincible. No other club ever attained a niche like this in public opinion, and perhaps newer will. The.weather yesterday -was- simply simply a Con- - tinuation of the red-hot heated term which has been so fierce and so persistentin holding on to our devoted planet this slimmer. The mul titude that assembled to see the game yester-- day - was-only lesteininiense'than the 'one gath eri d on the Union Grounds On the-Fourth of July. The audience numbered bet Ween five and six thousand. It filled densely all the seats, and overflowed into the field, against the ropes and the fences. Rows of carriage 4 lined the iuclosure on the north,"south and east sides. The new second tier of seats west of the Grand Duchess was choked up with a solid .mass.oflipectatora, Rifteenliundred- persons were unable to find seats. and contented them, elves with standing or sitting on the grass under the shelter of umbrellas. citiztms - nolirlenow - h to have their great club beaten on their - omit .grounds. Th. y have not-bad-the sensation for nearly two years. There was a certain amount 14 glory in the recent Atlantic defeat.for that was aceompliShed byoury one raid in eleveninnings. - Butt he repulse of yesterday was,on the whole, inglorious, The Athletics played an indifferent game ; the Red Stockings played loosely and with a surprising lack of ambition. The game between the same clubs in Shia, on the 22d of .June, which the Red.s Won by only two runs, wini; in -- all - respects, infi nitel3- more exciting and interesting than that of yesterday. The -Red Stockings we're then eager ,for victory, and the Athletics were =dually anxious and determined to retrieve heir last year's record, which they failed tn-dizO The audience yesterday conducted itself in an exit emely creditahlelnanner, applauding• the good plays of both sides. There was some mean and-brutal hooting and hissing of the inpire in the last inning, which emanated from a small squad of idiots, who do -not know . ti w - T - Cv the great mass of the audience displayed a spirit of breeding and consideration for the . 0 - siting club that could he found in few - similar crowds elsewhere. From the fifth inning to the end defeat stared the Cincinnatians in the face ; and when the anh.anprtipal_!itroke__catile_not a 110 isould be observed, nor any fitgu of borrtiw 'more tangible than a genet-at hen, e without waiting to see the overjoyed Athletics wind up a game they had won with out finishing the ninth inning. The Reds furnished the ball, yesterday, and, of course, supplied their favorite dead ball, known as " 'Ryan's rock bounder." Playing on their own grounds, too, the experts thought the chances were decidedly against the Ath. 'cues. The recent letting down of the Reds was but continued in yesterday's game. This falling off has been apparent ever since the return of the club from its ,Eastern tour. We took the liberty of calling attention to it, hoping thereby to assist in arresting the de chne of the club. This course was termed by an officer of the club as " exhausting the vo cabulary otabuse.'!-- We presume that even he is now convinced that the Red Stockings, for some perplexing reason,'are out of favor,out of spirit, out of ambition, out of humor, oat of harmony—out of all these, o , possibly, out of none. It may be that the clu is tired of being perpetually strong up to in incibility. It may be that they think it is ,accomplishing enough to stand at the head of the list at the end of the Season. The Red Stockings are still at the head'as regards this season's play, The Athletics have been beaten three times in 1870, and the Atlanties fire times; at least. Will the Reds stop here? We shall see. In the first live innings the Athletics hand: comely whitewashed the Reds, getting white washed themselves in, the firA three innings; making one in the fourth inning and four in the fifth. After that it was an even march, The batting on. both sides during the first half of the game was very weak. It was not first class at any, stage.. The Reds tried,to do better in the last four innings, but displayed pone of 'heir Old - -time excellence. They made an unusual number of errors in base :running. Harry Wright was caught between finit, and second, and run out. Waterman was put out trying to steal seeond. Allison was caught off his base on a foul, and put out: The niost dis couraging error Was in ng, When the Rt ds Were struggling to tie the game, with Rood - prospect- of success. Brainard was at first, when Sweasy made a fine hit to left field, which would have' yielded him two bases easily, and he plunged on to second, for getting perhaps, that Brainard is pro verbialy "slow" in running bases. The result was that both Sweasy and Brainard were caught off bases, and, after a good deal of confusion, Sweasv was declared out, Brain ard getting to third'at last, but spoiling an.ex cellent show of his side to pull up and win. Harry Wright muffed an ;easy fry at centre field. George Wright instill lame, and played only half as well 'as usual with him. One ball that he should have stopped flew between his legs, and, in attempting. to throw another that he bad stopped, his legs gave out under him. G ould and Leonard each made a home run by splendid,hits to right centre, which sped on and on until they bounded under the carriage wheels. ,Waterman made the most brilliant exploit of the game, accomplishing a double play unaided ley any other player. He took a line fly hot from the bat, :and, rushing to his base, caught napping Mr. Dick Mcßride, the umpire-hectoring Captain of the Athletic Nine. Allison lost four. balls at least, yesterday,by his passed balls, whereas Malone, the Athletic catcher, played rnagnificontly, not making a :Male error from beginning to end. The Athletics are in fine condition. Their' new uniform,is a dpoided.. impreveinent_on their old drb baggya garinents. They - now attire themselves in white caps, - silk shirts, white flannel trowsers and stockings of light blue plaid. No person could have failed-to notice, yesterday; "that they played with much nil orevim' and relish - thaw ,the 'Red, &Oohing's: Their•victory pleased them mightily._They felt good enough to 'dance, and conkl:. ardly restrain thenkstilireg in .their ier ceived quite 'a,n ovation Us . theY, .made ,their way through the. oarowd- to the omnibus . in waiting to convey theminiek to the lioteil.r, Juno 14, ... • ... .•.. 8 to 7 July 27; Athletics.. to I ' The above is the whole catalogue .of defeat for the Reds since 1868.

At the conclusion of the game, Dick Mcßride grasped - the ball arid declared that he prized it more than any his club bad ever won, and that he intended to keep it himself, in remembrance of the great victory. The Athletics, as a matter of purse, were very jubilant over their achievement, and a happier lot ofpacked humanity never left a !.all field than they and their friends, in the •our-horse omnibus that conveyed them from he ground yesterddy: AS uStial in 'every city ..nder the same, ircumstances, the victorious Marty were escorted ta the hotel by a legion of mall boys who vented their disgust at the re -tilt of the game by- hooting the players and -ailing them hard names.

RAdclitle, who occupied an elevated position on the top of the vehicl6, amused himself by :threateningg particularly pestiferous urchin with, mut- lien extingnishment by Meals of a base which he was pretending to threw: at him.
