The game was called at 5:05 p.m. by R.L. West as umpire. The Stars played a good game but not quite good enough to eclipse the Clippers. The game lasted three hours and the score stood in favor of our nine which is hereunto appended:

Last Thursday afternoon the Clippers went to Melrose where they played a friendly game of ball with the Melrose Stars. The game was played on one of the most handsome landscape in the west, for the purpose used, as it was as level as a lake that is not disturbed by the slightest wind, and it appears that this spot must have been intended, when this world was created, for a base ball ground. The game was called at 5:05 p.m. by R.L. West as umpire. The Stars played a good game but not quite good enough to eclipse the Clippers. The game lasted three hours and the score stood in favor of our nine which is hereunto appended:

'"`UNIQ--pre-0000000B-QINU`"'

Weber 0 1 White 6 2 Carr 5 5 West 2 5 Harrison 3 5 Smith 4 4 Sawbridge 5 1 Rice 5 2 Cooper 6 2

'"`UNIQ--pre-0000000C-QINU`"' '"`UNIQ--pre-0000000D-QINU`"'

Gau 2 5 Noyes 4 2 McDonald 2 5 Lindburg 1 5 Turner 3 0 Muir 1 5 Murphy 5 0 Whitney 3 3 Campbell 3 2

'"`UNIQ--pre-0000000E-QINU`"'

After three rousing cheers were given for the umpire, scorers, and each club, the Captain of the Melrose Stars stepped very gracefully to the front and invited the Clippers to go down to the Railroad House and take supper. The invitation was accepted, as the Clippers were never known to refuse a good thing and therefore they adjourned to the hotel and were seated around a table loaded heavily with earthly goodies, and for a time provisions went up and down until all were filled and satisfied, and there was plenty left for another hungry nine. The catcher of the Stars, after first dining at home, joined our boys at the hotel, and for a second time laid by a good supply of provisions. He was a nice fellow but had a fearful appetite. On account of the warmness of the day our first baseman did not have any appetite and consequently could not relish the good things before him. The boys will never forget the generosity and good treatment they received at Milrose, and will always be ready to embrace such an opportunity again, especially the last part of the programmne..the supper.
