The three games OF the Buffalo Club In this
city with the Chicagos demonstrated what had
been previously said about the yisiturs,-that
they were the best fielding nine in the League.
In the three games they were only charged
With two errors,-whfch was certdlniv wonder
ful fielding. Two Of the games we're beauti-
1uily contested by the home cub,-the first Of
which it lost at the last moment, and the
third WAS won when all hope seemed lost The
Butfalos we're unable to bat Larlsin, and
seemed to be not very heavy With the willow;
but their phenomenal fielding carried them
through. Chicago made seven runs In the

Chicagos winning 50 and losing a. Boston went
to the fro9t again in 1877, winning q and losing

to be closer contest than any preceding one,
