THE NEW FORKS AGAIN BEATEN. Chicago Wins a Second Victory
 After Tremendous Struggle
 Eleven Thousand People See One
 of the Most Exciting Games on
 Record.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-The Chicagos have won the second of the series of games with the New York club and without serious doubt placed the pennant for 'S5 beyond the reach of the worthy Gothamites. The in tense interest felt in to-day's contest was manifested by the size, to say nothing of the enthusiasm, of the crowd which filled the grounds this afternoon. Every inch of space that could be utilized without encroachment on the ground was filled and there must have been at least eleven thousand specta- tors. It was crowd that was strongly and perhaps naturally prejudiced in favor of the home nine, but when the New Yorks march ed into the field under the lead of Captain Ward they were greeted with a round of hearty applause. During their practice play every exhibition of skill called forth an ex- pression of appreciation from the immense audience. Prolonged cheering greeted the Chicagos as they came into the field at the call of the bell. Anson walked at the head and beside his huge form trotted the clubs little Mascot Willie Hahn carrying bat as big as himself. After 8 little practice into which they did not enter with as much spirit as their competitors had displayed in this warming up the game was called. The ground rules which proved so disastrous to the New Workers yesterday were dispensed with. The toss was lost by Ward and the big center fielder of the New Works faced Clarkson and went to first on balls. He tried to take lead for second, but was caught mapping by Clarkson. Connor replaced him at first through the courtesy of Clarkson in pitching six consecutive balls. Ewing's hot liner to Pfeffer was taken and a double play resulted in retiring the nine. Keefe fired the sphere at Dalrymple, who responded with a base hit. A few moments later 'sBuck" Ew- ing convinced him of his error in trying to steal second. Gore went to first by virtue of base hit and the redoub ubtable Kelly suc- cumbsd to Keefe's wiles in the s'three-strike- out; order. Gore ended the inning by try ing to perform the feat Dalrymple had failed in.
 Gillespie opened the second inning with Q bunt and took first on Flint's wild throw to Anson. Dorgan's sharp hit to Pfeffer was taken, and Anson again assisted in double play, Dorgan going out at first, when a mo- ment later Richardson ended the inning Anson thrown out at first by Ward, Pfeffer fou1ed to Ewing, and Williamson shook hands with the Mascot before picking up the willow, but it availed him nothing, for his feeble hit at first slow as it was, beat him there.
 Up to this time no one had reached first, and Keefe faced his great antagonist, Clark son. The latter also smiled as he struck out MT. Keefe in one, two, three order. Gerhardt found the first ball pitched him for the first base hit New York had yet obtained of Clarkson. He reached second base through Wards easy hit to Clarkson and Pfeffer's in excusable huff. Both he and Ward were advanced g: base % by o.S o'Rourke's 9i1s sac, % reach the coveted home plate, Conner winning Chicago's admiration by very pleas antly becoming victim to Clarkson and An son. Burns opened for Chicago with what ought to have been home run, but Giles pies long legs got him under the fly as it was sailing on the bicycle track and Burns sat down looking disgusted. Keefe repeated Clarkson's courtesy of the former inning and Chicago's pet joined Burns. Flint went out at first.
 In the first half of the fourth Ewing, Gil lespie and DorgaR went out in rotation at first, all making easy hits to the infeld. A drizzling rain began to fall and the crowd to murmur, but Dalrymple enthused them with clean two baser. He scored on Cores hit, who went to second on passed ball. Kelly tried to find the outside of the left field fence with long fly, but the wind Was against him and it fell into Gillespies hands. Anson flew out to the same artist and Pfeffer popped an easy one to Dorgan.
 The rain continued to fall and Richardson ted tn nance falling like the rain. Keefe went to first on low liner, stole second on Flint's passed ball, and with only one out and Ger hardt at the bat it commenced to look like a tie. He reached third on Gerhardt's three strikes and Flints muff Ward famed the air three successive times and Keefe went to the pitchers box instead of coming home. Williamson struck feebly to short right and was thrown out at first. Burns bunted at the ball two or three times and took his seat on the bench while the friends of the Garden City nine anxiously scanned the heavens for a dense cloud to end the game. The wished for boon was not in view, however, and Keefe slnilingly resumed his one, two, three act with Clarkson and New York smil- ingly marched in.
 New York again failed to score in the first half of the seventh and Chicago went to the bat. Two men went out promptly and Pfef- fer made home run amid tremendous cheer ing. This ended the run getting for the Chicagos.
 The eighth resulted in a goose egg for both sides.
 The ninth inning opened well for the New Works and before it ended many of the ad- mirers of the Chicago boys sat on the anx- ious seat. Connor got to first on balls. Ewing struck out. Gillespie hit to Pfefer, but Anson muffed Pfeffer's throw. With two men on bases the excitement became in tense. Clarkson looked determined, but the infeld failed to support him. Dorgan hit to Burns, catching cut Gillespie, but in at tempting to make double play he threw wild to Anson, letting Connor home and Dor gan to second. The score now stood 3 to 1, the New Workers having only one error a passed ball by Ewing, while the Chicagos had committed many fragrant oneE With one man on second and Rich ardson at the bat matters commenced to look dubious for Chicago. The crowds on the outside yelled to their friends on the in- side and asked how things looked for the home nine. An accommodating usher in formed them that the New Workers had one to their credit and it looked blue for Chica- go. A tremendous shout went up. Rich ardson had hit slow one to Clarkson, who fielded it to Anson and the vast concourse felt thankful that the day was won. The following is the score:
