BASE-BALB.
TIE MOST EXTRAORDINARY GAME YEr.
Il has been duly noted that the Chicago Club
has played several Of the most remarkable
rames Of the year in the several departments
into which the sport is diyisib1c; but Yesterday
thcy eclipsed their former efforts il the way Of
run-gctting and hard hitting, and presented
their patrons with the record OF most runs made
in apy championship game. They had before
taken part in the smallest score Of the year 70
IN with tho St. Louis), and had also gone on
record as playing nine innings without an error.
Reside these, they had gained some note by
winning more games and batting harder than
ANYBODY else, as well as By pulling 4 couple of
parncs out OF the fire in the ninth inning; and,
IN short, II about every other way known to the
atrendaut on the sport. But there was some
thing which they had not done, and that was to
snrnass the record Of the Hartford Club in runs
made. The last-namcd organization, in game
With the Mutuals, May 13, made IS runs off 80
hits and this was the record which must be
beateu-and it was. It would take more space
than can be spared to gire description of the
came, which WAS, however, one Of the most
amusing OF the year to the spectators, not be-
cause of. the fine play, but in consequence of
the extraordinary errors and plays OF both
nines, who seemed bent on doing various things
which no ba1l-playcr ever did before or ever
could do again. The first inning was an
example Of this, when Gerhardt, coming
first to bat, hit long fly to
Hines, and that wonderfully sure fielder muffed
it, and let the runner away around to third,
whence he tailed On Devlin's out to Barnes and
llcVey To offset this advantage, large one
iu some games, Barnes laid himself out for a
hit, but was nippcd by Ryan in left. Peters hit
to Fulmer, and the ball got by him in some Gu
1ious way not clear to the lookcr-or. McVcy
and Anson redeemed matters by safe hits to
right field, and White gaye Fulmer another
chance which was, like Peters refused. and the
side, instead Of being out, as it should have
been, was encouraged to dip in for some hitting.
Hines accordingly sent a bounder past short,
epa1ding beautiful liner to left, and Biclasli
pepper to right field before Glenn maIc the sec
improved their standing by hits that
could not be fclled, and Arson varied matters
With two-baser, which let in two runs, and made
the total for the inning pa most extrao7
diuary score in an7 case, but still more re-
u1arkab1e By being made nn4inly after two men
sere out. Iu tho middle Of the iunins Snyder
caught 4 ball on i tender pace in his hand and
split the flesh between the third and last finger
60 that he was obliged to change with Hastings,
end put the latter i'll to catch. In the second
tning no runs were scored for either side, Ryan
coming in to pitch for the visitors, Deylin TAX
ns first, and Gcrharslt replacing Ryan at left.
Having passed all inning, the Whites expert
ncntcd on Ryan's delivery in the third
10 the extent of cutting out three
runs on safc hits By Glenn, Barnes,
md alcVcy, coupled with little loose
play. In the fourth inning an error by Barnes
prevented the visitors from being retired for
a single, and Gerhardt, Devln, and Hague after |
ward hit we'll for their bases, and brought in
four runs Derlir's hit was IA long, high one to
right centre for three bases, and on it Gerhar1t
rot home. In the last half OF the inning the |
Whites got the range Of Ryan, and lit On I
lis delivery with JUNCTION for ! clean hits and !
'uns. Peters, McVcy, and White took two |
,asers in theirs From here to the close Of tho |
.ane there was little that needs recording, cx- |
:ept that the Whites walked up violently IN the |
Eighth Inning and put five runs to the good on
our hits and some horrible dufting. Tie game
