tells the story Of the game as
follows: The playing OF the Chicagos
was revelation. The great team was in
excellent form and played maryel0usly.
To see them in the field was a picture, TO
see them play wonder. The home team
gave the poorest exhibition Of ball play
ing that they have yet favored Atlanta
with. The very presence of the big team
seemed TO Brighten them, and they failed
to take advantage of the few chances
they had TO do good work. To add to
their discontinue DuudOn ran into
Williamson i'm the second inning with
such force that he bent his right hand
back, causing a terrible strain. He tried
to pitch two more innings, but could do
nothing with the ball, and gave way in
the fifth inning 70 Cahill, who had an
especially bad of day, aud had made
himself conspicuous by execrable
plaving. After Cahlrs advent into
the box. the Chicagos had a walk over,
aud batted the ball right and left. Ia the
fourth inning TWO more OF Atlanta's men
were injured. In sliding to second Hencke
had his hand badly spiked by Ptoiler step
ping on il. and in the same inning Jeyne
had his hand split by a high fly. Each adj
ditional misfortune increased the home

generated into "a sad comedy OF errors
Clark was the only man on the team who
had no errors scored against BIN. He
also led at the bat. getting two hits. or
the playing Of the visitors, but little need
be said. II was perfect. The team work
ed like a well-oiled piece Of machinery.
Nor is this 10 be wondered nj, when 10 IL
taken into consideration thar the majority
of them have PLAYED toga ther for the last
ten years. The Chcagos are truly great
ball team.
