So far as the Blues, Of Hartford, anu the
Whites, Of Chicago, are concerned, there is
great deal Of equality in their series OF games
for the championship. They have played six
games, and each las won thrcc-two on the
other paHy's ground. In these SIX games tho
Whites have made Is runs to the Ha:tfurds' 81,
and s. clean mts to the Blues 81. The runs
earned arc II for the Whites to 10 for
tho Blues, and the errors, Chicagos, &C.; Hart
lords, 49-the whole showing being very close
one In order to make this equality, the Chicagos
had to win yesterdays game, and thay did It vcry
nestly, in the presence Of about 900 people, who
sat patiently under the hottest weather Of the
year. Manager Spalaing, who has as uttlr

can well have, dcded comment By putting
