tSTXClAX. TO TJTX XYIHIHO W0BT.O.1
Bt. Oeoboi, Mar 80. Memorial Day in tho
afternoon and tho second came of t ha dr be
tween the Oiants and Hooslers.
I The morning gamo was not inch as the pat
rons of the New Yorki are accustomed to aee
them pnt up.
If Hatfield had been properly supported in
the field he would hare won the same; but tho
ficldwork of the Giants was at times of a very
listless, not to tay lazy sort, and their errors
were sandwiched in with thoir opponents' hits.
Those fond hearts therefore that hoped for
four straight were disappointed.
One short half hour before tho time for the
afternoon same to begin, everything on and
and about the srounds was as lovely as a Bum
mer's dream.
The sun sbono warmly, the breezes were soft
and uncertain, tho sky had just that tinge of
dark blue running into the lighter that the eyes
of a ball-player love to dwell upon.
Small boys ran riot over the diamond, chasing
impossible dies knocked from the player'
bench.
Tho reporters, refreshed by a hearty lunch
tendered them by Manager Mutrie, were in cen
tre field, unconsciously imitating the small boys
in front of the stand. ',
The grand stand was fillod to overflowing with
its expectant human freight and the bleacheries
were well flocked by people.
Then all of a sudden a ohange occurred.
A few fresh puffs of air, a quick appearing
aloud and then fast falling drops of water put a
damper on the whole outfit.
The players fled for shelter, some to the club
house, while others improved a cabin or lean
to by placing boards at angles up against tho
fence in centre field. .
The oooupants of the bleacheries, for the most
part, fled from their rain-struok resting-places
and suddenly became empowered with an over
whelming desire to swell the coffers of the home
club by contributing 25 cents for tho sake of
crowding the grand stand.
The shower lasted for fifteen minutes and
then at the stroke of the GlanU' practice bell the
clouds, aa if pulled by strings worked by Man
ager Mutrie, poshed apart and allowed a strug
gling and suffering sun to get in its work on the
wet grounds and the outraged feelings of the
spectators.
The great crowd present, numbering nearly if
not quite 8,000, roso to its feet and applauded
old Solas he made his smiling appearance at
bat.
A change of batteries was the only way in
which the clnbs differed their appearance from
the morning game.
'Everything at the commencement of the con
test angured well for an enthusiastic game on
the Btaten Island grounds, for big crowds will

Contrary tn their ctiitom heretofore the
Oiants this afternoon took the Held and sent the
visitors to th bit.
The Boosters' turn at tho stick wan short and
not productive of much.

harmless, sent out a high fly to Ulcbardsoi ,

George then went out at first on a brilliant
' assist by Bassett, and ltlchardsons pop fly was
collared by Glasscock.
Coasor, hovertr. was uUn first and stole

to score and was caught between third aud

Ward's protty assist on Denny's grounder
provoked muoh enthusiasm.

grounder to suoh an sxtont that the runner got
first.
He took seoond on Dalley's out at first. Rich
ardson assisting; but that was the end of his
rope, for Welch took caro that McGeachy's
grounder should arrive at first ahead of any
thing else. No runs.
WABD WIS DAMPXBOCS, IXDXKD,
As a dangerous customer, Ward was send to
first on balls, and promptly repaid the implica
tion by stealing seoond.
After a good deal of fussy delay on the part of
the Hoosier battery. O'itourke rolled a grouuder
to Boyle and was declared out at first
On the retirement Ward sprinted to third, and
a moment later, on Glasscock's difficult assist of
Whitney's grounder to first Ward scored.
Bassett then made a wonderfully pretty one
hand stop of Brown's liner and assisted the Call,
fomlan out at first. One run.

ENTHUSIASM BIDN'T COUNT.
Tho Giants' half aroused moro enthusiasm, but
was equally unproductive of scores.
After Welch had struck out Goro sent a yell of
delight up from the stands by driving a single
to centre and thon littlo Georgo called forth
pandemonium by banging a fly to right, which
McGeachy, desplto his boat efforts, could not
hold.
llichardson popped a fly to Bassett, and a
mighty sigh swept through the air. for two were
out
Connor came to bat. and after some shilly
shallying was given four bolls.
A full house thus greeted Ward, but his best
was only a grounder to Benny and an out at
first No runs.
rOUBTU 1KNINO HVK MXK PUT OUT 0LAS3C0CK.
GlasscocK set his myrmidons a good example
by whopping a safe one past seoond.
He gained that base on Hlnes's out at first.

OIANTS HOT BETTEBEB.
In their half of the fourth the Giants failed to
better their store.
O'llourko was the first victim, his high foul
falling iuto Dalley's hands.
Whitney was swamped by a grounder to
Bo)le.
Brown, though he ran like a burnt cat, failed
to beat bis slow grounder to first No runs,
nrrn ito hoosiebs' vibst tally.
Daily began this inning by slamming a safe
ono to right.
McGeachey, after several unsuccessful at
tempts to bunt the ball, slashed a hot bounder
to Ward, which, bounding badh, passed the
fielders as though propelled by lightning.
Dally on this hit took third.
Bassett sent up a fly to short centre which
Gore got under all right, but which he muffed in
a most slovenly way.
The error allowod Daily to score and Mc
Geachy to take second.
Ward thon mado'a master play.
Ho allowed Boyle's pop fly to fall to the ground
in front of him, and then picking up the ball
threw it to Richardson at second, forcing out
Bassett, and Richardson sent the ball to third in
time to cause McGeschy's out.
This play pulled the Giants out of a no con
siderable bole, for im
mediately following it I t.

For the Giants, after Welch bad been retired
at fln-t, Oore gained his base through Denny's
error and took second on George's spanking
single to oentre.
Then came Richardson, and the four balls
which he received filled the bases.
Connor was received with every mark of de
light, and tho single he sent to right, and which
brought home both Gore and George, untied
the throats of every man, weman and child in
that 8,000.
Ward bit to Boyle and Blchardton was rnn
down between third and home; but during that
performance Connor had taken third aud Ward
second.
Sir JimO'Ronrke, freshly cut as to his hair
brought both his fellows across the plate by
driving a beaut to centre, and the shouts grew
in volume.
O'Rourke gained second on 'the throw home

Glasscock's little fly was tenderly pressed by
Connor.
Mickey Welch soaked the ball into nincs'a lift
arm. and after a few contortions expressive of
agouUcd feelings the Hoosier baseman took
flut
Ho then took a small And mean revenge on
Mickey by stealing second, but Denny, Mighty
Denny, fanned the air, and llichardson attended
to tiullh an's grouuder. No runs.

Big Bill Brown knocked a little pop fly to Bas.
sett and then sat down.
, Welch craoked a safe lilt to centre and upon
reaching first proceeded to show how good he
was feeling by slapping lllne s on the back.
Mlokey's friendly taps must have been more
forclblo than funny to Hlnes, for he turned
about and proceeded to remonstrate, but Mickey
heoded him not, and with a gay and festive
wave of his lily-wbito hand he 'rotted off to
second Just as Gore got first on balls.
George's grounder to Glsssoock forced out the
charming pitcher at third, and. as Richardson
lapped a grounder to Denny and went out at
first, Miokoy slowly resumed the box. No runs,
SEVIKTU IMNtNO.
Gore with great determination closed his
hands about Dalley's lino fly, and O'Rourke.uot
to be outdone, proceeded to greedily devour tho
same sort of a ball hit by McGeachy.
Bassett rent an easy fly to Gore. No runs.
OIAMTS CLIMB UIOnEB.
The Giants' half of tho seventh Ward inaugu
rated by biding a beauty to right for oue baso.
O'Rourko mercilessly duplicated his brother
counsellor's hit and Ward flashed hlmsolf
around to third,
O'Rourke purloined second, and both lawyers
came home on a timely hit by Whitney.
Brown's bounder, well stopped by Glasscock,
caused Whitney's out at seoond, and then Denny
got a round of applause by making a veiy neat
running catch of a foul fly from Welch's bat.
Two runs.

Connor stuped Boylo's grounder just on the
foul lino and touched first
Beery went out because ha couldn't beat

Hlnes's two-bagger along the left foulllne.
Denny pushed a clean single to right ana

Labcumomt Yacht Club, N. Y,, May 30.
Tho yachting season was ushered in with a
boom to-day. The most important event was
the rsce here betwoon tho well-known sloops
Shamrock, owned by J. Rogers Maxwell, and
Titania, owned bj Col. Oliver Iselin, which has
attraoted snch nl 'cspread attention of late.
Both jachts belong to the fleet of the Now
York Yacht Club aud are, In the 70. foot class.
They will undoubtedly eutor in the trial races
to determine tho defender of tho America Cup,
and the fact adds to the Importance of to-daj's
race, which is the first of a series of matches
betwien boats In this class.
1 he presont match was arranged by the Larch
mont Yacht Club and uas for a trophy valued at
$7A0, in which both yacht owners arc. interested
to the extent of t230. tho remaining pait being
added by the Club.
Tho details of tho race were under the manage
ment of tho Regatta Committee nf the Club, of
which Mr. E. J. Orcacon is Chairman.
Tho opening of the (lav was not cry pro
pitious. 1 he mist Mas very heavy, but as tho
morning worn on tlio sky began to clear and tho
lfiO jaclitsmen representing the Larchmont,
New York, Bcawanhaka, Corinthian, New Jeirey
and New Rochclle aclit clubs, who camo to see
the race, looked to windward with a doubtful
eje
The wind was binning a ten-knot breeze from
tho northeast and was highly charged with
moisture.
The Shamrock and Titania were early on the
scene, v. ith mainsails shaking in the breeze aud
both tugging at their anchors. Tbe Titania was
in charge of ('apt. Haff, of Volunteer fame,
while Capt. Smith carried out tho directions
given him by Mr. Maxwell.
When waiting for tho mist to clear away the
two j achts were measured to accurately deter
mine tho number of seconds time allowance the
Titania, the larger ot the two by a few feot,
would hae to ghe.
'1 he course co ered a distance of twenty-se en
miles, from the Larchmont club-house to and
around a stakeboat anchored in Hempstead
Harbor, thence around stakeboat anchored half a
mile southwest of Stamford Harbor lighthouse,
and return by same course.
The start whs announced for 10.30, but the
crowd stood around until afternoon waitiug for
it to clear.
At 12.10 Mr. Oreaccn announced that the
start would be made In twenty minute. J'y
this time tho atmorphero had cleared, but tno
breeze had lessened its force, so that it scarcely
blew seven knots. Tho yachts crossed the line
as follows:
H. M . II. U
Titania 1 20 Shamrock 1 30
The rsce was an exciting one throughout
There was a stiff breeze blowing at the rate of
thirty miles an hour.
Tho following table shows tho time and finish:
