CHICAGO, May 21.-In the game here this
afternoon between the Chicago and Cincln-
natis, the Red Legs walked away with the
cake to the tune OF Il to 2. The appended
score tells the whole story. The Cnclnnatis
batted Ilarkin from the outset, the first two
mer to bat making a one and two base hit
respectively, and they kept it up I'LL the end,

INDIANAPOLIS WHIPS MILWAUKEE.
MILWAUKEE, May 21.-An audience of
perhaps fourteen hundred assembled at the
park to-day to witness the Indianapolis and
Milwaukee clubs. The general feeling was
that it would be a very close contest, with the
odds, perhaps, in favor of the home club, but
long ere the close of the ninth inning it was
manifest that both clubs were laboring under
the unpleasant fatality of an "off day." On
both sides errors by the best members were
numerous and inexcusable. In fact, it seemed
to the spectators that both sides had been of
fered liberal inducements to sell the game.
Holbert' hand was IN a bad condition, and
that was probably an excuse for his poor play
ing. The whole game was performance of
errors in one shape or another, and compare
lively weak batting. The indianapolis boys
batted much stronger than the home club,
