lean Association Ball Clubs.

DETROIT, Aug. 20-The Chicago champions
were beaten to-day by the League leaders in a
closely played and exciting game, in which the
home club did the best work The visitors had
great trouble in trying to bat Baldwin, before
whom eleven of them went out on strikes, while
only five hits were made. A homo run, two
singles and ielder's choice gave Detroit three
runs as starter in the second. In the fifth, a
double and single gave one more, and in the
ninth, the two last runs were brought in by
Williamson's poor throw, Brouthers's double,
and Thompsons single. A single and triple
in the third gave the visitors their only
earned run. In the fourth, Rowe fumbled
and gave Pfeffer first; Williamson hit down the
right foul line and Pfeffer crossed the plate al
though the umpire had called foul" and when
the Detroit nine gathered about the plate to pro-
test, Williamson ran for second; Baldwin threw
to Rowe TO catch him, but threw wild, and as no
one was in center to stop the bali, Williamson
came home, and the umpire said it was right A
base on balls, passed ball and hit gave them
their last run in the fifth. Attendance 1000.
