THE QUJOWKPS WIN.
A GOOD VICTORY FOR THE
HOME CLUB.
GETTING DOWN TO STEADY WOBK.
A Fine start for the New Management-*
The Trenton* Outplayed
Point—Other Game« and Note«.
Kvery
Yesterday the Quicksteps fairly batted
Harkins, the Trenton -pitcher, out of the
holes in seven innings, and succeeded in
making 14 with a total of 21 bases off him.
In the seventh inning he burst his finger
by a liner from St. Lawrence's bat and Val
entine took his place in a Quickstep suit.
He struck the first two men out and Fox
knocked him for a three-base hit. The
game, though
was interesting
liant plays. Credit 1 b especially
the new battery, Henry and 8t. L
the former being credited with five fielding
assists. Kienzel, Waitt and Benners all
made excellent catches <n the field and
Kienzel and Benners good throws. Suyder
at first played an excellent game, as he
always does. St. Lawrence's cat thing was
almost perfect, as he had but one passed
ball which yielded nothing worth men
tioning. For the visitors, Smith at
short played an excellent game
and Harkins, Quinton and Goodman did
good batting. Benners had on his batting
clothes with a vengeance and punished
Harkins for a single, a double and a home
run. Fox got in two singles and a drive
for three bags. Snyder and Kienzel each
got in two base bits and the rest got in a
hit apiece.
M uch credit is due to the new management
for the victory. It was the first day Mana
ger Malone had charge of the nine and it
seemed to infuse much new spirit Into them.
They played much better together and
every oue tried to bat. The boys can
play ball and all they want is some
one to urge them on a little and not
a dozen bosses, but one. A good audience
should be on hand this afternoon to encour
age them and visitors hereafter at Quick
step Park may rest assured that baby play
ing will not be tolerated. What Manager
Malone will have will be good playing or
none at all. The following is the score iu
detail :

•I s'orm about 2
m-rning the two
masted schooner Jesse Hari No. 2, Captain
David Wall, commander, became grounded
the stone-pile at the Breakwater. There
was a heavy sea running at the time,and the
aptain and crew abandoned the vessel and
reached the beach in safety. At 5 o'clock
that morning Cu plain George W. Bellevou,
of the steamer Juno,owned by Peter Wright
& Sous, sighted the schooner, and prepared
to save her. The latter was in such a dan
gerous position that approach was dangerous.
The great difficulty was to get a line on
the vessel. This, however, was overcome
i»y the intrepid act of Lande Shaw, mate of
the Juno. Though the sea was heavy and
a northeast gale waa blowing at the rate of
thirty-two miles an hour. Mate Shaw
divested himself of his clothing, and, tying
a line around hi6 body, boldly plunged into
the surging waters and vigorously struck
out for the schooner 200 yards distant. He
was anxiously watched by bis comrades on
•oard the Juno. The more the line was
payed out the harder became the bold
swimmer's task, as its constantly increas
ing weight seriously interfered with bis pro
gress. After battling with the waves for half
hwur the mate reached the vessel; but
here arose the mo.-t perilous part of the un
dertaking. He knew that If he did not
grasp the boom at the first effort he stood a
good chance of being violently dashed
aga'- st the sides of the vessel and killed.
Gathering up all his remaining strength,
which was fast becoming exhausted, the
mate, as soon as he was raised up on the next
wave, made oue mighty lunge toward tho
end of the boom, and with
most superhuman effort barely clutched
it with his right hand. In a twinkling
he threw out his left, and there
held on for dear life for a few monente,
until he regained sufficient strength to
enable him to climb up
cautiously creep co the deck. Upon
reaching the deck he drew iu the line, and
after a good deal more exertion hauled a
hawser from the steamer, which he made
fast to the schooner. After working for
several hours the sehocner was hauled off the
