The Famous Chtcagos no Longer Famous
The Neto Cincinnati Nine TJctoytoxs--
Other Baseball Matters.
The most interesting and exciting
game Of baseball was played yesterday
that has been played In this city since
September, 1870. Five years ago Gin
cinnati boasted the most famous ball
club that had ever been organized, and
not without reason. Since that the
sold Reds" had never been even ap
preached, not to say excelled. On the
7th of September, 1870, Chicago sent to
our city her favorite ball club, the White
Stockings, who, contrary to all expecta-
ton, completely annihilated our pets.
Then there was "weeping and wailing
and gnashing of teeth" for the glory Of
the "Reds" had departed. Chicago had
accomplished her purpose and she was
happy. All during these five long, te-
dious years this defeat has broken the
rest of every citizen of "Porkopolis,"
and the wish of every one has been the
defeat of the "White Socks"
We have been avenged, the new Reds
have wiped out the shame of the 'old,"
and covered themselves with glory.
That "damned spot" Is out at last.
The impression that our new nine was
not of the first water has also been
proved fallacy. Yesterday they stepped
to the bat with determination to
win and they did win, and not by quib-
BILE, sand if such one had not muffed
such another ones ball they would not
have scored single rum" or that otner
whine of the disappointed. "If the game
hadn't been sold, &c." But the victory
was so decisive that it lett no room for
doubt.
Fully 5000 people were on the grounds,
and during the first half Of the game and
especially during the fourth inning, the
widest excitement prevailed, but it soon
became evident that the Chicagos were
over matched. The heavy batting, good
fielding and deliberate coolness Of the
Reds was too much for them. Up to this
the fourth inning, however, Gould went
out at first by an easy bali to Golden.
Snyder got to first on mutf by Warren;
Radcliffe struck liner between first and
scc0nl, 0i getting first and sending Snyder
to third. Fishers ball was muffed bring
ing Snyder home, Radcliffe stole third
and Fisher second on u passed ball.
Peters captured fly from Clack who
retired, Fields then struck long fly to
the flagstaff bringing home Radcliffe
and Fisher. getting second for himself
where ewas left by an easy bcunder
from Wardell which was tielded by Col
den. 9,
The Whites at the bat, Radcliffe
dropped a hot liner from Peters into
Charlie Gould's bushel basket, where it
lodged safely, putting Peters out. Has
tings gave Fisher an easy fly and then
retired. Three called balls gave Golden
his first. Warren knocked magnificent
liner to the right field, which raised his
hopes to such an extent that he became
ambitious, and in attempting to take
second took back seat. Just then
Golden planted his heel upon home plate,
and was given one tally by Umpire
Jones. Score to 8. And "chaos came
again."
The Chicagos from this point became
demoralized, and Chicago stock went
down, while Cincinnati went up in an
inverse ratio, and when at the end
of the ninth inning the score stood: CiL-
cinnati 10, Chicago 8, the scene was
without a parallel. We append the
cnnrp.
