troupe Of scarlet-leeged Trojans encountered
the Grays this afternoon in the eighth cham
pionship contest, and retired from the field IN
two hours and ten minutes, soundly thrasbed
at the bat and in the field. Gardiner, formerly

THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
The Chicaeos arc ouce more even with the
Providence team, having won three games last
week, and are prepared to make strong grip
for that pennant ret. Cincinnati having refused
to play the twelfth game of the series with CHI
cago, the latter club is credited With the game.
Boston maintains third place firmly, having Won
all the games played last week. The Buffalo
Club is no longer dark horse, Chicago having
settled its pretensions in the two games dropped
in this city. The home club plays the cleve-
lands Monday and Iuesday,-the last League
games In the city this aeason,-and then 20 to
Buffalo. After the Cleveland games there remain
but twenty-one contests for the Chicagos, md. It
they play with as much vim and 'Sgo" as lately
exhibited, the flag will fly in 1880 from the tall
staff in Whtte-Stocking Park. The following is
the record to date:

With desire to remove, as far as possible,
the stain which has rested on It's good name for
the past three years, the Utica Association en-
gagged for the meeting last week the services OF
two Judges from other points,-Mcssrs. J. P.
Wiser OF Prescott, Ont, and Col A. L. Snow
deu of Philadelphia. The result was that
everything went of pleasantly, except in the
2:H race, Thursday, when IT was charged that
Ida Bassctt was being pulled. As she came
out OF the third heat dead lame, there was no
chance proving or disproving the charge BY the
substitution OF another driver for Muckle. The

trv list At Charter Oak Park. The track savcry

three consecutive heats on record there: 2:l5,
