teams were treated to rattling display .o
batting, and, while the contest was charac
terized by numerous errors in fielding, it wa$
full Of action and ut all times Interesting

their pitcher, while Goldsmith served fol
Chicago. 1t will be remembered that whel
Providence was here on the first Wcstcri
tripe tile White Stocking bats,nen were
greatly at fault with Ma thew's delivery,
failing to bat him with freedom or effect: but
they seem to have learned the secret Of
his puzzling change OF pace, for they had nn
trouble ut all yesterday in getting a ricli
harvest Of clean hits and tallies. On the
other hand, Providence was very successful
against Goldsmith, and had they found the
Chicas0s at all off III tlIeir batting would
certainly ilaye beaten them. The visitors
struck a streak in the ninth inning
and pounded out four runs, three of them
earned, but the J we're too far behind to hope
to catch up, and only succeeded III helping
