"A.B.C.s Easily Down Mobile Team, 12 to 1. - Mobile, Alabama, April 19. - The A.B.C.s defeated the Mobile Athletics again yesterday in a game featured by the great playing of both clubs for the first five innings, but the strain proved too great and the local pitcher's support cracked, the A.B.C.s scoring almost at will the remaining part of the game. Other features of the game were Ben Taylor's five hits out of that number of trips to the plate and three safe blows each by Russell Powell and George Shively, and Morten Clark's magnificent fielding. Ed Rile fanned fourteen of the seventeen men that faced him."
