the coming champions had utterly failed tt
hit Bradley's delivery with any effect, hay-
jng gotten in but four hits in eight ir-
nings, and the score then stood to
against them. All Of q sudden the aspect OF
affairs changed, the muscles of the big batsmen
became free, and, almost before Providence and
the delighted crowd Of onlookcrs could realize

yencd and the game was won. such enthusiasm
as this evoked has not often been seen on the
home grounds. Chicago presented Its team very
much dislocated, Poorman occupying the con-
trail position, Corcoran playing short, William
son second, and Burns third,-Quest being laid

game, accepting eleven out Of the twelve
chances offered him. Burns at third was very
effective, his only error being on hard swift
