persons assembled at Mcsser Park this after
noon to witne IS the closing Chicago
game on the home ground. and. barring single
inning, in which the visitors were presented
with three tallies on wretched fielding Of Hines,
Peters, and Farrell, the game was hotly COZ
tested. Ward and Corcorun employed their
utmost strategy in the manipulation of the
sphere, and while the former received careless
support at critical points, Flint lowered upward
as giant Of strength, and Dalrympo and tho
diamond knights backed Larry with faultless
unity.
Providence won the toss, as in the two pro-
cedtng contests, and, after Dalry1nple and Gore
had retired ut first with Farrclfs assistance,
Williamson secured q single IN the first inning
and gained third on Hines unexpected mutt OF
Anson's fly. Anson subsequently stole second
base. They were left on Quests tly to Bradley.

ton, but the Visitors worked steadily and
nnitedly for the victory, and obtni1led It by
superior fielding and fleet base-r9nnlng: Fur

strikes has given good satisfaction.
The ChIcagos have won 1latterinE encomfums
from the best class Of citizens during their stay
by their quiet and gcntlcrnanly d:meanor, and
there are few fine points in the play in which
promptly employ when occasion requires.
The :,umes have not drawn out the profess
sional excellence and comparative strength Of
the TWO leading mines in the League: for the rea-
son that poor rtleldtnr and scattcred batting have
ceen insurmountable obstacles. However, the
Grays proved i Troublesome team, and succeed
cd il giving the coming champions pair Of set
backs which has served to revive IN interest In
the gnme, which lay- comparatively dormant
previous to the visit Of the Chicngos.
