FUL EGGS FOR THE CREIGHTON.
The uncertainty attending our national
game was never better cScmplifcd than in
the contest yesterday afternoon between the
Creighton and National, when the rods" sent
the green legs to Chicago in seven innings
amidst thundrrs of applause from their
shOutcrs aud succeeded in settling the thirl
bout for one game, the score standing 13 to o.
The principal feature Of the game on the
Creighton side was the case with which the
majority of their nine dropped and threw the
ball. ~ by their costly and glaring errors they
deliberately presented the National with the
first game of the series The National
virtually won the battle in the first inning
by making six runs on two base hits aud re-
firing their opponents for dough baby"
and during the succeeding innings "they
found what the Irishman shot at" and retired
from the field the most disgraccfully beaten
club that ever faced pitcher. The only
way in which the "Crcights" can hope to hold
their own with the National IL by diligent
practice in the batting department. as their
weakness in this respect is dcplorablc.
Dallas ut first and Lusk on third had the
lions share of the work to do on the National
side, and their positions were never played
finer. Harley, the new man of the nine, car
ricd OF the honors in the batting line, and
Houck made several difficult stops. Bannon's
tricky delivery was The feature OF the game,
however, ils one by one the finest hattcrs of the
Creighton stepped back from the homo plate,
either having KID" or been thrown out ut q
base.
The progress Of the game was interrupted in
the fifth inning by loaicr in the crowd on
the side nearest third base applying an oppro
brious cpithot TO WitherOw, the pitcher of the
Creighton. and the police merely demonstrated
with him instead Of carting him Off 20 the sta
ton house. In order that he might he taught
how to behave himself in the presence fladic
aud gentlemen. II the police were pCwerlcsS
then the different clubs had better detail mcI

scene as the ono that occurred yesterday.
