entirely satisfied with their treatment In Chicago,
aaekLoTls1g1ns that theIr defeat was fairly.
Like many other base bait people OF America, they
did nor e1pcct such perfect practice, enlciency,
and collective Play on the part q the Chicago nine
~Sf whose Individual strength they were well
ATare--but@ having discovered The abundance OF
these important requisites they gracefully sue

In the account OF the match at Dexter Park. on
Thursday, the management WIS blamed tor invest
Ing certain persons with authority which the latter
seats about the reportcrs stand, to the exclusion
Of good aud respectable citizens. We are Informed
~ ne managers that the persons who assumed
eyer, but assumed the same against expressed
commands, and continued to exercise their ususp-
ed power because the proper managers were too
that hereafter strong measures will be adopted to
End that the scenes Of Thutsday win not b. Re,

A SUGGESTION As TO "FoUs."
zb the Editor 9f tie Cht1go 71fbuMe:
In most al base ball matches many Of the players
experience great dlG1culty ID hearing the umpire
as WAS the case on Yesterday, and It is ALWAYS
sure to cause the utmost il-feeling when IN err,r
Is oI a1s s9 90 h the amps would
and elevate 1t shove his head when bali is struck
- foul" every player In the held could see IT. and
i would do away with mistakes as regards "forls~
The signal might also he used 70 advantage in call
Ing Sin players who are q aoutr on bases, &c;
but, Of course this could not relieve the umpile
from giving ha decision orally. II you Judge these
suggearons Of any value please give - space 70
