chicago club, for the first time during the
season going to the front and taking the
lead in the league contest. All the season
the champions of last year have been from
four to eight games behind, but now
towards the close of the season they have
displayed their wonderful staying powers
which seems to Justify the managers in
the choice OF men. The Chicagos now
have won ffty-one games. Providence
and Cleveland fifty games each, and Bos-
ton forty-nine. The continued defeats OF
Cleveland by Buffalo would seem to place
the former out of the race, for there is yet
to come the hard struggle in Boston and
Providence, and the ''gilt-edged" team
seems to be in no condition to make a
good closing record. The first game of
special interest will be Monday, when the
champions will play a postponed game
with the Bostons.
A WONDERFUL GAME.
Last Thursday the Chicagos played
wonderful game with the
Detroit club. In the 7th inning
they made eighteen runs, twelve of which
were earned, and twenty three men went
to bat. 1t presents an inning of the most
terrific hitting ever known. The Times
gives the following particulars of this in
ming:
The two thousand spectators who attend
ed yesterdays game between Chicago and
Detroit were gretifed at seeing the home
club take the lead in the cham pionship
race for the first time this year, and more
over were treated to an exhibition of bat
ting and run producing the equal of which

league championship game. From the
very first Chicago took kindly to Weld
mans delivery, but in the seventh inning
they took SO kindly to him as to take him
out of the square and bring in Burns from
right field, only to jump onto the
new man more savagely than
ever. The record of that seventh in
ing is unparalleled in all the following
particulars: Times at bat, %; clean hits,
IS; total bases on hits, %; runs scored, IS;
runs earned, u. There were made ten
singles, six doubles, one triple, and clean
home run. Eight runs were made off Weld
man and ten off Burns. The order of the
hitting was as follows: Williamson dou-
BILE, Burns double, Pfeffer single, Gold
smith double Sunday single, Dalrym-
pie a single, Gore triple, Kelly single,
Anson's fly muffed in right field, William
son single, Burns with Burns, of De-
troit, now pitching) a clean home run hit
into the north end seats, Pfeffer double,
Goldsmith a double, Sunday single, Dali
rymple out on fly, Gore out at first base,
Kelly single, Arson single, Williamson
a single, Burns a double,
Pfeffer single, Goldsmith first
on FarrelPs error, Sunday out on
foul fly. Such a streak of hitting was
never before known in league game. De-
troit had been given three unearned runs
in the first inning on a base on balls, a
single by Farrell, a muffed fly by Dalrym-
pie, Burns wild throw, and two passed
balls by Kelly. After this Detroit did very
little hitting until the eighth inning,
when,in response to requests of the crowd.
Williamson went in to pitch. Arson to
catch, Pfeffer to third base, Goldsmith to
first and Kelly to second. Williamson was
batted for two runs, one earned. Then
Arson and Williamson changed about in
the ninth inning, and one run was made
off single by Wood, muffed fly balls by
Sunday and Kelly, and a passed ball.
The last league game in Chicago during
1883 occurs tomorrow. The Chicagos
leave for the east Saturday evening, &C.
companied by President Spaulding, and
will open with a postponed game in Bos-
ton on Monday.
The Tribune gives the following partic-
ulars:
At the opening of yesterdays game be-
tween the Detroits and Chicagos it looked
for time as though Chicago was to be de-
feated, but they soon began playing their
inyincible game, and in the seventh inning
made the largest batting record ever made
in league game. Twenty men went to the
bat, eighteen runs were made and eleven of
them earned, Williamson, Burns, Pfeffer,
Goldsmith and Sunday each went to the
bat three times in the inning, and Burns
made home run off a drive into the end
seats. A total of twenty eight bases on
hits was made in this remarkable inning,
and the crowd yelled itself hoarse. 1t was
not game that could be described, sand
should have been seen to be appreciated.
In the last two innings some laughable
changes were made in positions in the
Chicagos, as will be seen by the score. In
the seventh Weidmen was knocked out of
his position and Burns put in to pitch,
bxt the change did not affect the batters
Wood made fine one-hand catch of fiy
in the third, and in the fourth Sunday ran
into the second baseman and was declared
out.
The seventh innings for the home team
yesterday was alone well worth the price
of admission. 1t was a scene never be-
fore witnessed on professional field, and
it is doubtful if such another Singing
match is seen anywhere. It is unheard of
almost, to have the batters come up for
the third time, and the succession of hard
hits was absolutely unprecedented. The
Detroits made change of pitchers with
ont producing any effect, and the success
sion of singles and doubles was broken in
upon only by Burns home run, which
was made on a magnificent hit into the
left field seats. Apparently nothing could
stop the procession, and the Detroits were
not even given chance to make errors,
eleven of the eighteen runs being earned.
Manager Spalding laughed until the tears
ran down his cheeks, and the official bell
was rung with the vain hope of hating
the sluggers. The batting record of the
entire nine will be vastly improved, and
the inning will go down to history.
