in the lead of won games. The audience was
smaller than usual on Saturday, owing, no
doubt, to the races. Those who Witnessed the
struggle yesterday were treated to some good
batting by the Cincinnatis, they hitting hard
and too deucedly often for those who wished to
see the bone nine win. : -

The seventh inning saw the visitors ouee more
In the lead, however, by good, stiff batting,
McVey and Dickerson distinguishing themselves
with the willow. Three runs resulted, one be-
ing earned. This lead was not overcome in the

inning. The eighth yielded neither club run.
In the ninth, AcVey made his fourth safe hit,
and Dickerson bis third two-baser, earning run,
and ut the conclusion the score showed defeat
for the White Stockings to the tune Of IL to s.
The batting Of the visitors was exceptionally
good, and Hankinson got the worst punishment
he has SO far received. The errors were not
numerous, considering the heavy hitting, though
Peters and Shaffer had Q couD!a OF costly ones.
Flint did we'll on his throws to second, being
much better in that respect than Parson White.
The umpiring was the worst ever seen In this
city, and that is saying good deal. Mr. Houtz
does not seem to have any conception OF the
between balls aud strikes, frequently
the one fur the other. There was also
bad judgment exhibited By him on put-outs or
notouts on the bases. At one time it looked us it
the Chicago8 were Obliged to nut OUT fiva
Cincinnati chaps before he would declare the
side out. He probably used his hest Judgment;
but It was eyasperatlny to the spectators. Mr..
[ioutz is not a success in this city, however he
may be in the alleged Paris OF America. The
same clubs play tomorrow the eighth game.
The score OF yesterdays game Is as follows:
THE SC0RE.
