To begin with the locals were badly handi* capped by the absence of two of their best players and heaviest batters, K pp and Crawford. Their places were filled by Hopkins and Brady LeBarge pitched, but was not up to his standard. Voelkert was behind the bat, Lee taking Crawford’s place at second, both put up asplendid game, Lee in particular playing second like a veteran. He made several sensational stops, shutting cff at leasttwo singles The visitors are all players, and although as individuals they are not as good as acme qf iho lccvs in team work, they are the superiors Up to the sixth inning the game was the prettiest contest seen here this sumnnr. The vis itors scored one in the second and three in the third, the locals got one in the first and two in the third Then for three inn-ings both clubs earned goose eggs. In the seventh the visitors resumed the run-getting by scoring th.-ee, another was added in the eighth and another in the ninth. Dubuque, however, coaid not get a mau across the plate until the ninth, when two runs were secured, making the score 9 to 5 Outside of the playing of Voelkert and Lie the features of the game were the heavy h ttingof the visitors, two making home runs and tome sensational inexcusable errors by the local outfialders.Today the regular home team will face the Maroons, and a splendid game is expected. Tne visitors will put in their crack colored battery. For the Dubuquts Oeo.
