THE BALL-FIELD.
THE PHILADELPHIA AND posroN GAME.
At ait carly honr of that memorable October
morning. now noarly two years ago, Chicago
could boast baso-bsn ground in q moHt con-
venicnt locality. which held tho name position
among ball-parks that her famous Wlsto-Stocl-
ing Club held among bnso-ball organizations.
In other Words Hho had the best TINT could
DO obtained. So completely Ind tho na-
tionl gamo taken tho faucy Of the city, tint
the ladies' turned out in large numbers to
witnoss good match, aud quantity Of dry
goods was always to DO found thoro. On this
occasion, however. tho dry goods formed by far
tho groator attraction, whilo tho audience gath
cred at respectful Distance from It. An hour
or two later, the city had no baseball ground,
md still less Of club. Both wore 30 thoroughly
demoralizod that they gave up in disgust. The
White Stockings wont East and woro benton
ind baso ball in tho West received terrible
blow Since that time, every now and thon,
sporadic nttompt has been made to renew tho
intoress OF the public in tile sport. A handsome
park was laid out for our amateur nino, but
tho public had enjoyed such excellence in their
own nino that MI amntour club found no sup-
port, and since then we have heard and done
nothing upon tho subject.
Now, howevor, there is revival. Tho moro
znontiou Of championship game WAS sufficient
TO stir up tho enthusiasm OF tho public. Had It
been any two Of tho great professional ninos Of
pellod to rush to tho grounds; but, whou ono
of them consisted almost entirely Of tho
old White Stockings OF this city, who
could remain Indifferent Tho very namo

Nc wonder, then, that tho baseball grounds
on Twcnty-third streot wore thropged yesterday
afternoon, fully 5000 people spreading them

was it that the audience WAS impetlod to give

not produce the desired effect. What could

II anything woro needed to add to tho interest
of the occasion, it waH the announcement that
Chicago was to havo next season a nine Of her

principally Of that fine collection Of skill and
muscle which nl1, two years ago fought upon tho
baso ball, ~ her citizons arc doing elsewhere for
