If YOU don't believe base ball is fa*t pu.--ing from being a luxury to I the position of u necessity you should ' have pone ti> the b*li park on Satur day and looked oo the thousand por | sons there «vho were silent and gloomy while the Scbads of Pitts bury were making ail the ruus and blanking our own Fishels during the I first live innings, aud then you should h .venoticed the vast change that cauie over tLe crowd when our boys won the game in one inning. It was a great game. The Fidbels started in as though they didn't like shad. They got a big bite in the first inning that nearly nauseated them. Two bases on halls and a single, assisted by several er rors the visitors two runs. Then they kindly allowed our boys to blank them until the fifth inning, wheu more errors let in another. Schads 3, Fiehcls 0.

Joe," said all, and every one yelled till he was tired, and then didn't "old reliable" Scott followed with a base hit ? Did he, or are the people all crazy, they shout so ? Do the Schads get rattled aud give Me- Grew his base and have our boys ac tually thiee men on base on base and no outs ? Is this a base hit McCul lougn makes that Dougherty and Scott come in on, or is that whole crowd amass of yelling lunatics? Are the Fishels hammering the ball in every direction and running in score alter score or is that a mnb of people trying to develop their lungs and spoil their voice ? Let us look at the score. Fishc-1 5, Schads «>. The fact was our hoys were becom ing positively fond of shad, aud they continued so to the end of the game. MeGrew distinguished himself by makiog two three-baggers and a sin gle, and some of the other fellows were close behind. Bright pitched a splendid game and Boreland caught his usual fuultless way. Thi.; is the fourth straight victory for the Fishels' and you may put it down that with a little more care in running bases "They'll be all right " The ouly regretful features of the game were the splitting of Scott's finger and the blow which Sullivan of the Schads got while colliding with another of his team in catching a Hy, from which he became uncon scious.
