ST. LOUIS AND CHICAGO.
New Yorkers are firm in the belief that st.
r,ouis has better nine than has Chicago: Ihe
actiun Of tbs Chicago Club in compelling ths
Mound Citv BOYS to play during the absence - OF
Bradley is severely commented upon here- The
nn1TersaI opinion here is that Chicae WAS afraid
Of st. Louis and was only too glad OF an oppor,,
tunity of catching the Brown Sox IN crippled
condition. Be- that as it n,ay, the st. LOUIS
Club certainly occupies TAT more 1asoraole
position in the estimation OF th1s community
than do the White Stockings.
The following, clipped from the last issue OF
the New York Sportsnann, is about the sentiment
OF most people hereabout:
