Stale, 3 — P. R. R . Y. M. C. A., 3.
May 18th, State’s team played the strong - professional
team of the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M. 0. A. at Fifty
second street, Philadelphia. This was a game which
had been looked forward to by the average State partisan
as one in which State was almost certain to get beaten.
The P. R. R. team is composed mostly, if not entirely, of
professional players. Wood, who pitched against State,
pitched last year for the Louisville National league team.
The P. R. R. team had not been beaten this season, and it
is considered to be one of the strongest team in Philadel
phia. Notwithstanding the fact that the odds seemed much
in favor of P. R. R., the State men went into the g - ame with
the determination to win if they could. They got right in
to the game and staid there from start to finish. The game
was close and exciting, and no one could have said at any
stage of the contest who would be the winner. The close
score of three two testifies to this. Miller’s pitching and
batting, with the fast playing of the State team in general,
