A MOST BRILLIApr Same YESTERDAY
Witnessed by a at and Enthusiastic
AUDIENCE tcitement in
the Ninth.
THE LEEeUE PENNANT FOR CHICAGO.


Indescribable 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 VIC
tory had sgs n perched on the banner Of the
houe tram, giving them an almost undis-
putsd claim to ,hs National League pennapt.
They defested me New York staiwarts By
The score Of 2 to with an inning to spare.
The attendance was II, 300, and this despite
q sky which constantly threatened rain.
The audience was kept clear of the field,
however, to prevent any possible inter
ference with the work of the outGelders,
and by this means 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 twobase hit from Dslrymple, but fol-
lowed by q onebsse hit by Gore bringing in
Dslrymple. In the seventh inning with
two men out Pfefsr scored q clean home
run over the right field fence. The New
York team scored their run in the ninth in
ming when the shadows were thickening
very fast on two sue cessive throws to Arson
on first base from the infeld who was un-
able TO distinguish the ball and failed to get
it. The game was
A Splendid Contest
in every way, and up to the ninth inning
vas perfectly played, whatever errors oc
cured being credited on the Chicago side
% the batters. The contest was exciting
at its every point, and the score was kept 80
low that a clean base hit at four or five
stages of the game would have turned the
ide in eithsr dire ction. Five men on the
New York side died on bases for the need
Of clean hit, while Chicago had only one.
K, efe, for the New Yorks, itched without
an error and was batted I'VE hits for a
total of nine bases, while thePNew Yorks'
9etsmen confined themselves to FIVE hits for
As many totals. Cleaner fielding than was
exhibited by the team was not possible,
some Of the oui6eld plays being remark
ably brilliant, but on the part of the
Chicsgos not resulting errors occurred until
the closing innings, when they were excus-
able and almost unavoidable.
