possosB any attraction for tho public, for some
reason OF other, though tlaoy arc frequently as
good as, II not bettor than, thoao played

the ilnest playing that has ever beon exhibited
in this country In match TINT WAS practically

cat In tho game, 1t bolng gonoraly
considered TINT tho Chicago player stood,

inning, GARNER, after sorlos Of small runs, put

been Increased to twice that nu1nbor but for n
misa OF an easy onrom. The slip gave Potor D

iargo, but 1t exhibited considerable feeling as
| the game progressed. It il woll known TINT tho
this accounta for tho craftsmanship displayod.
| The men themselves showed that the
contest was no ordinary ono BY the deternained
mannor in which they carried it out. Tho load
| was won by Slosaon, and the struggle botween
to DO out Of sorts at the commencement OF the
gasne, making four successive misses Of not very
dinic,llt shots. in tho fifth inning ho made 1G
by cushion play, endng by narrow mt5a
Ton tho break, and by q miss Of twiator loft
| the balls in good shape for lis opponent ut the
head Of tho tablo. a miscito by tho latter on 9
draw brought Ills run to conclusion at &, and

shot. and by missing it grouped tho balls
thom on tho alde rail. Flo was .nura-
ing thom dolicately whom froozo

missing cushion shot, and Bcssunger agnin
collected tl,om Oh tho rail. Another froozo up
set his calculations, and at II lso was done. He
waB now 60 to Lis opponents 38-quto a ro-
| match gamo. In the thirteonth inning 6losson
played vol for 81 points, and bad tho BALL on tho
cushion ut the head OF tho table when llo failed
to impart speed enough to his bail to make short
aud easy caron. Tho consequence was that Bos-
sunger found tho balls lcaped. He made aud
snbsidod Oh 4 little masBo that would be simple
ahot for any amateur now.a-days slosson llad
good position left. but falcd to mike mora than
ling block. The next four innings were poorly
played Oh both Bidos, the players appearing to
hnve no confidence in themselves. III tho nsno-
! teonth inning, SlosBon managed to mako 81 by

help Of 9 fow fluo maeses. The custom
ary freozc intorpoaoa, and the spot shot WAS
missed. Bessullgcr followed with the lareest
run OF tho ganlo thus far, 81, which was very
olovorly put together. He was now OH lia soc-
ond atring. mud but q few points behind hiH op.
ponont. Runs Of II mud 10 by slosHon and and
cating, and tho audience began to show partisan
ship. run Of 10 i1 the twenty-ninth inning
took George wel to tho front again, but le waa
kissed out Of count In tho succeeding inning,
and the bulls woro laft, whom Dossungar made
IL. Had he not handled the balls badly, Ae
could hayo made great deal more, aa 1t waB in
tho positlon: In tho noxt inning ho mada
"a, aud took the lead. Tho advantage waA
lin with - antl turned his second string, tho
ucore standing 2oa to 1o1 in hiB favor. Tho boya
now began to play stunning gano both Tor

them pretty ayon together on tloir third Btriug.
