The Nationals and Chicagos played again
last Tuesday, aud what ut first seemed to he Waterloo
the home team, turned ont to lie splendid VIC
tory. The Chlcagos opened the game by securing In

cured one IN the second; in the meantime the Ma

looked dark enough for the home team but they set
to work and by good play Mt the end OF the fourth in
ming placed the score at to .. In the NTH inning
Manscll opened with long hit to the fence, which
wise hit for three base, and single hits by snyder,
Trot Baker, Gerhardt, and another three. bagger by
Mcclellan allowed the Nationals to nine runs
Of them being earned. To picture the amaze
ment " the ChicagOs IA an imposslbty; never did
they get such rutbing In one Inning and 1t is safe
to say that heavier batting never was performed Ivy
any other club In Inning since base ball has been
reduced to science. Without waiting for the side TO
he put out. the champions ~ Of the League put their
sheep covering their heads and skunk out OF the
grounds. President lurlbut thinks the Nationals the
best club the Chlcagos have met this season. We agree.
and say that II they had been allowed in the League
the Chcagos never would have been the present cham
plons
Another mean and low act of the League
has Just come to light. When Snyder Joined forces
with the Nationals at the beginning Of the present
season the Boston people became very angry and
obstacles In the way of that player At the meeting
| held in New York lately an agreement entered
into by all the clubs comprising the League to force
debarred from playing with League organization If
he did not. This Is the move OF Harry Wright he
intimatng to the delegates present that IT was
sary the preservation of the Boston Club pro-
cure the services Of Snyder. Notwithstanding Sny-
tale caused tie managers OF that club 10 Withdraw
their Inducements offered him, II the League con-
sders this sample Of right and Justice we are sorry
