CHICAGO, ILL, September 50.-There
was an indescribable scene of tumultuous
cheering and hat swinging at the White
Stocking Ball Park this afternoon at the
close OF the ninth inning, when il was GER
tain that victory had again perched on the
banner OF the home team, giving them an
almost indisputed claim to the National
League pennant. They defeated the New
York stalwarts by the score of 2 to l with
an inning to spare. The attendance was
1l30. and this despite a sky which con-
stantly threatened rain. The audience
was kept clear of the field, however, to
prevent any possihls Interference with the
out-feldera, and by this means no ground
rules were necessary. The Chica9os
scored their runs in the fourth and seventh
innings, both of which were earned. The
first was made by two base hit from
Dalrymple's bat, followed by o one-base
hit by Gore, bringing in Dalrymple. In
the seventh inning, with two men out,
Pfeffer scored clean home run over the
right-feld fence. 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 infeld, who was IN
able to distinguish the ball and
| failed to get it. The game was
! splendid contest in every way, and
| up to the ninth inning was perfectly
played, whatever errors occurred being
| credited on the Chicago side 10 the bat
teries. The contest ws5 exciting at every
point, and the score was kept SO low that
| clean base hit at four or FIVE stapes O.
the game would have turned the tide in
either direction. Five men on the New
4ork side died on bases for the need of
clean hit, while Chicago had only one.

out an error and was batted for FIVE hits
