Text	The Orion Club of Philadlephia, Pa., whose nine claim to be the colored champions of that city, tested its strength against two prominent professional organizations last week, and met with two decisive defeats. Fully two thousand people, one-third of the colored, witness the game July 19 in Philadelphia, the Philadelphias then winning by 17 to 1. The Orions failed to make a safe hit off Neagle in the entire contest, and their only run was made by Williams, who reached first base on called balls, stole second, and came home on successive outs in the first inning. The Orions visited this city July 20, when their game with the Metropolitans at the Polo Grounds was witnessed by about two thousand people. The Metropolitans won easily by 19 to 6. Williams, who led off with a three-bagger, scored three of the six runs credited to the Orions.
