Base Ball.—The first game, by the newly organized Club, was played on Walnut Hilla, last Friday. There were nine players on a side, and tbe contest is said to have been an exciting and spirited affair, but as we have not been furnished with the score, we cannot lay it before the curious in such matters. A gentleman who was present at the game, and who i3 well posted in base ball and cricket,, declares* SfrTl? gr3 aAj * ithat tbe play would not have disgraced the celebrated New York Club. The players adopted the manly and scientific method of catching the ball without waiting for * it to touch the ground, the same system as adopted by a majority of cricketers. The Club will play an-* Iother match game upon the same ground, some day thifi week.
