CINCINNATI, O., Aug H.-Thc Chicagos
finished their championship series with the Gin
&innati Club here to-day, which gives them the
credit of being the first League club to win ten
straight games from any one club. The an
uouncc,ncnt that Williams, the late pitcher Of
the indianapolis Club, would pitch in to-day's
game for the Reds, had a tendency to draw out
much larger audience than witnessed the two
previous games. 4 very dead, mushy ball was
used, and the Whites made two runs in the first
inning on errors Of the Reds, and three in the
second By safe batting Of Hines, Spalding,
Barnes, and Peters. The Reds filled the bases
in tile first inning after two men were out, by
successive safe hits OF Gould, Pearson, and
Dean, but failed to score. McVey pitched the
third. fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, and only
one base hit was made of him. Appended is

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-That pool-seling in Chi
caso is Just Us stcrooked' ~ as in New York may
be learned from the following circumstances !:
On Monday afternoon, while stopping in one of
the pool-rooms to hear the reports from the
several baseball games then in progress, paid
some attention to the bets made on the different
games, more especially on the Hartford~Mutra
game, as tile score was very close, neither club
having tailed for the first six innings. The
betting during these innings-as also during
the seventh inning-was mostly on an even
basis as to the result OF each inning. During
fifteen minutes after the result OF the seventh
inning had been read the betting was also on an
even basis as to the result Of the eighth inning.
Then noticed several young men come in and
take seats among the pool-buyers. After they
had been seated about live minutes one OF them
offered to bet two to three that two runs would
be made in the eighth inning. Then another
one offered to bet four to two that run
would be made In the next inning.
Then ono offered sir to ten that the
Mutuals would win the game, And these same
bets were again and again offered. This change
in the bets struck me at once, And remarked
to m acquaintance Of mine standing beside me
that no doubt the result OF the eighth inning
had been received, but held buck SO as to Afford
these gamblers an opportunity to fleece some Of
these Z: Grangers :" or fools - buying pools,
and that, no doubt, two runs had been made IN
this inning, and that the Mutual Club must
have made them. At last, fifty minutes after
the seventh inning had come in, the result Of
the eighth came, and read Hartfortis Q, Mntuals
