Before another crowd of 4,000 people, on November 6th, the All-Americans

Before another crowd of 4,000 people, on November 6th, the All-Americans
played the Pioneers, another local organization, and though Healy
pitched a good game for the visitors they were beaten this time by a
score of 9 to 4. Ward did not take part in the game on this occasion, he
having taken a day off to shoot quail, and the defeat was largely
chargeable to the costly errors divided up among Hanlon, Crane, Manning,
Von Haltren, Wood and Fogarty.

Jonathan Oldbuck did not venture to estimate the sum that would ransom a

copy of the 'Game of Chesse,' and the world of the bibliomania has moved
even since his days, so that prices which seemed fabulous, and were
recounted with a sort of awe-struck wonder, have been surpassed in these
latter days, and the chances of any successor of 'Snuffy Davy' buying a
Caxton for two groschen have been greatly reduced
