NOTHER CRACKER-JACK

Hyoe Park vs. Rensselaer. Riverside Park. Friday, Aug. 10. The “editor” thought so well of our reportial ability in reporting yesterday’s game that he doubled our salary to repeat the work, in the encore effort of Hyde Park vs. Rensselaer. . By the way, we were able to get a tooth-pick at the “Makeever” yesterday for our salary, hence two, to-day. If he smote me on the right cheek we turned uhto him the left, oh, we were brought up in the straight and narrow way, and are generously good. The golden aurora of day shone out in all his glory and had stewed up yesterday’s mush making the diamond a perfect rollerrink. At 3;15 the genial Jack began to crowd back the push, that had crowded over the wire and called time for the first round with Rensselaer at the bat, Joey and Tip went out in short order. Nairin and Mot each sent in a stinging single and both scored on errors by Quimm and Hillock and Miller’s out. Dad. Mot and Bert being left on bases. Total, Rensselaer two runs. For Hyde Park, Quinn reached first on an error of Reynolds and Linden on a base on balls. Linden scored on a hit by Errickson, Burton lined out another single, but McGill struck out. Hyde Park one run. In the second Rensselaer went out in one, two, three order. For Hyde Park, French reached second on a misplay by Dad, but went out at 3rd on a hit by Quinn, Strewbridge ] going out on a short hit. No runs. On singles by Mot and Dad assisted by errors of Qninn and a passed ball, both scored. Hawkins striking out. Rensselaer two runs. On a hit by Linden and McGill and errors by Tip Bonham and Marshall, Hyde Park scored two in their half of the third. In the fourth Rensselaer went out one. two, three. Hillock for Hyde Park reached first on a poor throw of Bowen, but he was doubled with Quinn by a pretty play by Joey, Miller and Nairin. Shewbridge made first on balls, but Linden went out on short hit to Joey. No runs. At this writing we think the management made the two dollar assessment on “Zimmy” and Col. Bryan Honan as we suggested yesterday, as both were conspicuous by their absence. Rensselaer failed to scored in the fifth. Nairin and Beville were put out by a pretty double by Burton. Quinn and McGill. On ba«e bits by Bouton and Burton and errors'of Marshall and Bowen, Hyde Park scored two runs. The score is now five to four in favor of Hyde Park and looking good for them, but Zimmerman has now got in (probably at half j pricejand there is hope for Rensselaer. Shewbridge had his thumb split in the first half of the sixth and after bandaging went to right field, McGill catching and Bouton to first. Rensselaer went out without scoring in the sixth, leaving Rhoades on first, while Hyde Park went out one, two, three. The game now looks more hopeful for Rensselaer as Col. Honan has just come through the fence and is delivering an address on Simon pure democracy and base ball, his oratory caused Rensselaer to go out in one,.,two, three in the seventh, notwithstanding Joey made a pretty single, but was doubled with Tip Bonham by Burton, Quinn and Bouton. Bouton made a two-bagger for Hyde Park, the next three going out one, two, three, leaving Bouton on third, The first half of the eighth Rensselaer made one base hit and by a combination of misplays by Hyde Park filled the bases with no one out,then the whole town got into the game, but plucky w«rk by the Hyde Park battery then put the side out 1,2, 3, Hyde Park also went out in order in the eighth. In the ninth Rensselaer went out in order no one reaching first, and thus ended the second lesson. In our opinion Rensselaer could have won had Col. Honen been there from the start and he should be fined for his absence at least ten dollars. Following is the score: RENSSELAER. B. H. P.O. A, R. O. E.
