The coming champions closed their series
with the Bostons yesterday In the presence
OF about 2, 600 people, and won BY score oi
II to in a game quite notable for its fine
batting, successful base-running, and occa-
slonally strong fielding. The Bostons intro
duced III the pitchers position Leary, late OF
San Francisco. whom Harry Wright got hold
Ut here, hoping he could Ill at least one game
make show OF contest agains. Chicago.
But Leary was not success, any more than
Bond anu Foley have been. He was batted
for eight hits and six runs In the
first three innings, and then gave way to
Foley, whose advent to the central square
was greeted with two singles and two double
baggers, whereon three runs were earned.
There was something going OIL all the time,
and the manner in which the ball was pasted
here and there was q reminder Of the old
days Of straight-arln pitching and ball with
lots Of rubber in it. It proved to be very
elastic ball for Gore, who made his eighth
consecutive hit Oh his eighth consecutive
time at bat In two games, three OF yesterdays
hits being two-basers. This same young
man, who now leads the League batting list
III the matter of base-hitst did some
great base-stealng yesterday, his run in the
ninth inning being entirely the product Of
his own swift legs, aided by KeIly's timely
hit, though it would still have left Gore on
second but for his two stolen bases. Chicago
presented Corcoran Us pitcher to begin with,
and Poorlnan IN. right field, Flint being dis
abled BY reason OF his injury last Thursday;
but after Corcoran had pitched two innings
he went to. right and Poorman took his !
place,-not that the former was being hit at
all freely, but it was though, !

Poorman is IN unquestioned success. HI
can pitch as deceptive ball lis any man in
the League; indeed, he deceive ed the umpire
