| Description | Base Ball. The match game of base ball between the North Star Club of this city and the Excelsior Club of Fort Snelling took place on the common below Broadway yesterday afternoon. A large crowd assembled to witness the game which lasted two hours and resulted in the defeat of the Excelsior Club, their tally being but fourteen against thirty-eight by the North Star boys. The following is the score of the nine innings; North Stars 4 6 3 1 10 6 2 6 0 = 38 Excelsiors 1 2 2 1 0 4 1 0 3 = 14 The following shows the tally made by each player: North Stars R.C. Olin (p) 6 W. Wilson (c) 6 C. Wilson (ss) 1 J.A. Spencer (lb) 6 T. Bromley (2b) 6 B. Lampher (3b) 3 McConnell (cf) 2 D. Pope (rf) 3 T. Larke (lf) 5 Excelsiors Chas. H. Cortelyon (c) 2 Wm. O'Gorman (p) 1 C.G. Irvine (ss) 1 C.A. Cavender (2b) 1 J.A. Ames (lb) 2 Albert Allen (3b) 1 Charles Weed (cf) 3 W.B. Leaman (lf) 3 Geo. W. Raymond (rf) 0 The Excelsior boys took their defeat good humoredly. It is due them to state that they labored under the disadvantage of having lost sosme of their best players by the recent mustering out, and also that the ground was that which their opponents had been accustomed to play upon. Of course we feel certain that if they had had these advantages and more too, the St. Paul club would have won the day but the odds might not have been so great in their favor. |
