siles, the Nationals nro n hard Club to
win Enlne from. and the Chicago Victory OF
yesterday Is In every respect extremely cred-
liable. Word had been sent here from Cln-
ctnnnti TINT Lynch, tho National pitcher, rc-
sorted to MI illegal delivery. That being the
excuse which Cincinnati urged In cxp1ana-
tton Of It's poor success against him; but no
fault was found here with his delivery, rs 1t
was good enough to allow tho home team 10
punish 1t for ninu single and twelve total
bases. Occasionally Lynch does, beyond
question, elevate his wrlst rather more than
the nndcrhand t',rowess now acting rs pitch
ers for tho League; but, so fur M Ills work
