Pursuant to a call of the county executive committee, the radicals of Jackson County met at the courthouse in Independence yesterday at 2 o'clock.

Just before noon the rays of old Sol broke through the overhanging clouds and by the time for the game between the Unions of St. Louis and the Hectors of this city the grounds were in tolerable condition. At 2:30 o'clock the clubs together started for the park. At 3 o'clock the game was called, the Hectors won the toss and sent their opponents to the bat. In the first inning by a series of good plays the Hectors succeeded in giving their opponents a whitewash and the Unions did the same thing to the Hectors. The St. Louis boys went to bat in the second, meaning business and by magnificent batting, aided by one or two wild throws on the part of their opponents, succeeded in scoring sixteen while the Hectors only managed to get one. The final score stood: Unions 63, Hectors 16.
Nearly five hundred persons witnessed the game and among the number were many ladies.
