CHICAGO VS.. CINCINNATI,

- The White Stockings reached kome yesterda1
morning from highly-successful Eastern trip
6ffye weeks, during which time they played
fourteen games, losing but three,-one each: in
Providence, Troy, and Cincinnati. The game
n Cnci natl that was to have been played
Friday vas prevented by rain, and SO on the
eyening Of that day the two teams took the
train for this city, where they we're billed to
ptar yesterday afternoon. All OF the Chicago
boys IRE In good health, except DalrJmple and
Arson, but the trouble with the latter is not OF
: 50 serious nature rs to prevent his playing as
usual Da}rymple is expected to be all right in
a#eek or two.
when the skies cleared away yesterday morn
ing it became apparent that the game would be
played, and, in consequence, at $3.50 O'Clock an
audience numbering 2500 had assembled at the
grounds to witness the contest OF the home
team with the nine over which 80 much blowing
and pulling was done by the Cincinnati papers
early in the season. The result, as everybody
anticipated, Vas that Aneon's men defeated and
squtlched them in most summary and decisive
manner, the score beng s to L, The game de-
monstrated that, so far as ball-playing is con-
cerned, the Cincinnati nine Is inferior
to any League organization TINT has Wis
tied Chicago this season. Will Whites
pitching was remarkably effective, and this fact
operated greatly in favor Of the other members
Of the nine, not one Of whom, with the excep-
ton Of Hota1ing, had difficult ball to handle.
For the first five innings the Chicagos confined
their efforts to knocking foul bounds and send
ing up soft frs, all Of which were taken. They
were peculiarly unfortunate in having men left
on bases, but, in spite OF all these Disadvantage
Gus circumstances, knocked out c1editable
victory, if winning game from Cincinnati can
be said to be credit.
The only run that the visitors obtained Was IN
the first inning. They lost the toss, and Hotal-
ing, the first man at bat, knocked long fly to
Gore, who mutfed it while on the run, Hotaling
getting to second on the play. Barnes sent
erounder to Quest, and died at first Jim
White, after knocking several foul fips over
the 1eftde1d' fence, finally sent a safe one be-
tween left and centre fields, On which he reached
first, Hota}Inr going to third, from whence be
tailed on McVey's hot bounder to right field,
the same being 1nuffed By Shaffer.
From this time until the lest half Of the sixth
Inning not a run Was scored, both sides gener-
fourth inning Anson and Shaffer led off for the
home team with safe hits, and, being advanced
a base apiece BY wild pitch. things looked
we'll for 3 run or two. But i1 was not to be,
Quest and Larkin sending up little 1ys which
we're captured BY McTey and Gcrhardt, and
Gore 1ngloriously striking out -, .
In tile sixth inning very extraordinary oc-
cur-encc took place. Just before the White
Stockings went to bat, their black cat & Cham
pion' was observed to iseue from the clubhouse
and station himself In centre field. The boys
saw the move and took heart. .Anson was
hyed by Barnes, Shaffer hit safely to left, and
Quest sent. long fly in the same direction.
Dickerson ran for it. but became so interested
