Text	BASE-BALL -- MATCH GAME FOR A BENEVOLENT PURPOSE. -- It will be seen from the correspondence between Messers. John Dooley, John Ahern, and others, and Captain Babcock, that a match game of base-ball will be soon played by the Pastime and nine picked men of other clubs for the benefit of St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. The object is highly praiseworthy, and as the game will be a most exciting one, many will be pleased with the opportunity of gratifying their taste for witnessing manly sport and doing a benevolent action at the same time.
