^ The first gsmi of base ball lor the aeasoo vas a Ume allair. From tbo begioolnc Oxford w«« not lo it. Tboir pitcher was unable to pUy, and, inatoad, umpired the K»mr, aod did It with perfect falruesa. Cape May was without the aenrice of Wagooburmt and DurelL The former will not arrive until Saturday, and the latter was called away by a dispatch announcing the illneas of a relative. Harry Butcher, a University man, and the veteran Laird filled their places. There were errors on both sides. Cape May succeeded in making four runs during tbs first four Innings. In the fourth inning, Harry Butcher was first to the bat for the Cape May and tapped out a fly to first which was captured by the enemy. Graves followed with a nice bit to right field for two bases. Dana filed third aod Col. Watts sinick out. Myers took the stick for Oxford and bit to third where Watts met it nicely and fired to first ahead of the runner. 0. Henry hit to right field for one ■ base, and Adams followed, driving the ball to first, where it was stopped and thrown to Graves at second, who failed to hold it and allowed Henry to arrive safely. E. Henry Hied ont to Shannon, and G. Henry, ambitious to reach third, was caught between the bases and run

down by Graves.

Fifth Inning.—Enlckerbocker hit to pitcher and was pot out at first. Shannon bit hard to abort where it was not received with proper enlbutUam, and be reached first. Hyoeman fanned the atmosphere Ineffectually three times, while Shannon reached second and Lancing followed Hyoeman's example. Oxford was first represented at the bat by Clymer, who struck out. Hall followed with a 3y, which was for Lancing, but Shannon no for It, shouting, "Get out. Kid, I got It;” but he was mistaken, and the ball dropped to the ground—another evidence that one Is never certain of s thlug 'til be gets It In his bsnds. Hall accommodatingly aent another to Dana, however, and he aald nothing but "got It," and I’icrton filed

to Knickerbocker.

Sixth Inning—Lancing filed out to third. Harry Butcher arrived at first on balls. Graves bit to first unsvallIngly, and Butcher reached second. Dana made a two-bagger, and Butcher flew home and arrived ahead of the ball. Watts banged to oeatre lor one bag, valiantly and successfully ran for second and third, and, ou a w lid pitch, came home. Kolcknbocker was given his base on balls, but was afterward caught napping and put out Oxford went oot in one, two, three

order on strikes.

Seventh and eighth Innings blanks for both loams. In the ninth Wstts nude s grand bit to left field for a home ran, and ahowed bis ability as s sprinter by flying around with wondsrful spend. The atleudanoe was small because of the threatening weather. The score:
