There is q woe in the breast OF every loyal Chi
cagoan the bitter intensity OF which not even an
other fire or another panic could augment. The
impartial history Of the times bears testimony to
the fact that We bravely stood up under the iery
and financial o1deals with which Providence and
gang Of rascauy currency-hoarders have aff1lct~
ed us, but 1t is matter OF grave doubt If any
chronicle OF passing erents Will ever record our
complete recovery from the terrible
shock accustomed by the recent tnglori-
GUS defeats OF our base ball club
on tho diamond fields Of tho East. The gorge
rises in our throats as telegram after telegram
arrives only to announce disaster after disaster,
and every succeeding disaster more shameful
than the one that preceded it. Our depression
Is all the greater becauae it is reactionary- Tho
SUCCESS which attended cur players when theT
met the smau-fry Baltimore Club elevated our
hopes, and u.ado many Of us foolishly imagine
that the baseball representative OF the Garden
City would sweep everything before it in
the slow-going East like whirlwind. But
NO haven't swep anything worth mentioning,
and, Judging BY the aspect which the matter
wears Just now, it il more than Likely that the
good people Of the Monumental City will speedily
discharge their nine for having allowed thom-
gelYes to be beaten BY tho White Stockings.
It is to certain extent maddenlng to think Of
tho exnltation OF Philadelphia, New Yo1k, Brook
fyn, and Boston over our distress; but even IN
this hour of QUIZ trouble We have tho supreme
satisfaction OF knowing that We ohoctually burst
up Cincinnati in the baseball business, and nlade
her hide her diminished head forever. Whether
there ever will be such another diminished
head for us to crack At, is q question that will
admit OF the iveliest sort Of debate, and he vino
would carry the negative side OF the argument
would not be an ove1-shrewd logiclan either.
The general sentiment of tho people Is TINT
the White Stockings should remain where they
are, and engage In some moro houorablo and less
skl1tul Eaployment-worklng III soap-factorr,
peddling tish, or something OF that sort. The
like so many prodigals. Mr.. Gassette, though
he feels the disgrace aa deeply as any
body, saya they must come back
and endeayor to retrieve their fortunes,
though It is now 3 well-nish hopeless task. We
fear they will meet with but cold reception.
Seriously speaking, there is something radi-
callT wrong iu the organization Of the Chicago
Club. II it is not absoluGe dishonesty on the
part Of come Of the players, which is not st all
unlikely in view OF circumstances which have
recently occurred it ls positive lack OF that
good fellowship without which no body Of men,
no matter what their pursuit. can hopo
to succeed. There are c1iQues in the
nine that should be broken up without
the summary discharge Of those Of their num-
ber who arc either unwilling or unable to ill the
positions for which they arc Engaged, that
further nonsense will not be tolerated. It mas
been suggested that the following change be
made. and that it be the final oue until Wood
has 80 FAR recovered AZ to be able to take charge
OF the nine: Zettleiu. pitcher; Malone, catcher
Deylin, first base; Hines, second base Peters,
short stop; Force, third base; Cuthbert, LETT
field 1reacy, contre feld; Glenn. right field.
This Is probably the best change that can now
be made.
WHAT CINCINNATI RAYS
The following from the Cincinnati Gazette ia =
sample Of what We may expect for some time to
come:
By and by Chicago will te older, and know more.
6he will see the etupticeas and folly Of making the
municipal credit depend upon the e1estions and good
3atth Of band Of professional athletes. Sometimes
hard ball will bc used that will knock ths cAlcu-
1atons Of these Professionals out Of al coherence
Sometimes the professionals will listen the tander
voices OF pecuniasy temptation q appears to have
bean the case yesterday When either Of these uu-
toward events happens, what sooths the pride Of
the place That hes placed iii in tho keeping Of tho de-
In its day Of humiliation Chicago should still re-
member that sha has tunnel; that she public
Hb11ry, which in this courso Of ten twelve years
great summer watering pace-for particulars last

half million dollars Of the reief-fund is yet in the

WHITE STOCKINGS AND ATIAET1Cs.
ENEw foRK. June 20.-Tho White Stockings
played their tirst game with the Atlantic Club
today, and suffered another unlooked-for de-
Feat. Although they played + strong fielding
game, they were very Weak at tho bat. MAlona's
hands were too sore to admit OF hs playing, and
an amateur catcher WAS substituted, who did
fairly. The fielding and batting Of the Atlantics
was f1st-class, especially that OF Dehlman and
Hartford game On Monday.
