The profits arising from the Investment OF

From comparison OF the record Of each play
CT in his position with that Of players in other
clubs, the Chicagos show to advantage. White
has less errors than any other catcher in tho
country, Clnpp. having nearly twice Us many in
in his position, and viii average less than one e
error in every three games, aud less is heard
nowadays Of George Wright's wonderful play
and more Of Johnny Peters piclsups and throws.
The real KqTk is yet to be done, however, and
for the next four weeks the baseball air in tho
West will be blue with games lost aud won in
the quadrilaterai formed by Chicago, Cincin-
natl, St. Louis, and Louisville. st. Louis is now
beaten out OF sight for first place, and Hartford
and Chicago will have to settle the question of
the penna0t.
