CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-There was an indie
scribable scene Of tumultuous cheering
and hat swinging at the White Stocking
ball park this afternoon at the close Of the
ninth inning, when it was certain that
victory had again perched on the banner
OF the home team, giving them an almost
undisputed claim to the National League
pennant. They defeated the New York
stalwarts by the score Of 2 to ], with an
inning 10 Bpare. The attendance was II :
800, and this despite sky which con-
stantly threatened rain. The audience
was kept clear OF the field, however, to
prevent any possible interference with the
work Of the outfelders, and by .thismeans
no ground rules were necessary. The
ChiCagos scored their runs in the fourth
and seventh innings, both Of which were
earned. The first was made by Q two.
base hit from Dalrymple's bat, followed
by one-bAse hit by Gore, bringing In
Dalrymple.
| a SLEAB HOME KUN
In the seventh inning with two men
aud Pietfer scored clear home run over
the right field. The New York team
scored their run in the ninth inning when
the shadows were thickening very fast,
on two successive throws to Anson on first
base from the infeId who was unable to
distinguish the ball and failed to get IT.
The game was splendid contest in every
way and up to the ninth inning was per-
fectly played, whatever errors occurred
being credited on the Chicago side to the
batteries. The contest was exciting at
its every point and the score was kept so
low that a clean base hit at four or five
stages OF the game would have turned the
tide in either direction. Five men on the
New York side died on bases for the need
Of clean hit, while Chicago had only one.
Keefe, for the New York, pitched
without an error and was batted for fye
hits and total OF nine bases, while the
New York batsmen confined themselves
10 five hits for as many totals. Cleaner
fielding than was exhibited by the team
was not possible, some OF the out6eld
plays being remarkably brilliant; but on
the part Of the Chicagos no resulting
errors occurred until the closing innings,
when they were excusable and almost un-
avoidable.
