| Thursday, May 22, 1884 Another Defeat Added to the Long List Suffered by the Al- toona Club |
| Yesterday afternoon the Altoona baseball club met with an ignominious defeat at the hands of the National Unions of Washington, D.C. The local team has received a succession of drubbings ever since the season opened; and such announcements now occasion no sur- prise, but are received as a matter of course. The team is a weak one, about six good play- ers being needed to place it on good footing. Yesterday they floundered about the field like a lot of old Stoughton bottles, and when at the bat hit everything but the ball. The team needs reorganizing if it wishes to stay. The visit- ing team is not a strong one by any means, though it has some fine players in its make- up. In yesterday's game Al Bradley played the middle field for the Nationals and re- minded the crowd of his former exploits by making a couple very difficult fly catches.
