CHICAGO VS.. WORCESTER.

CHICAGO VS.. WORCESTER
Fully 1000 people, the largest crowd Of the
year in this city, attended the game yesterday
between the Chicago and Worcester teams. and
were rewarded by seeing the home nine score q
handsome victory over the redoubtahle Rich
mond and his eight strong supporters a more
impartial audience never assembled. The Worce3-
ters received a fine ovation As they appeared
on the ground in their natty drab-Inen uni
FORMS and were Justify cheered whenever any
one of them made q safe hit or good play
Their style of work in the field was much adj
mired. and Hichmond's honest but extremely
puxzling delivery commanded close attention.
For this occasion Capt Auson raarranged his
batting order and changed one position in the
1eld, putting in Corcoran as short-6top, who
played n brilliant and faultless game, and by his
two-bagger over Hght-deld fence scored the
only earned run. He batted right-handed, as
did also Dalrympla aud Gore, and the result was
that all Ihrce made q hit apiece. while
Anson, Kelly, Flint, and Quest were
unable to do much with Rich
1nond. SO powerful Was his field support. He was
batted hard, but the strength OF his backing
kept down the score alike Of hits and OF runs.
Goldsmith pitched his very best, holding down
the heavy batsmen of the other side to a total
Of five hits Twice the visitors had a man on
thi1d and nobody out, but the pitching and field
ing Of the Chicagos prevented Il tally from COM
lug In Goldsmith, too, WIS batted freely, and
it took suule extra good work By both Gore and
Dulrymplc to SECURE balls that would otherwise
have yielded two and three bases. Chicago led
~ at the bat, and Kelly; tie first striker: gave

second inning yielded an earned run through
Quests retirement at first and Flints long ty

men were out, Williamson was given nr6t on
