KANSAS City, Sept. 16-The postponed game
which was to have been played this morning. be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City, was prevented
by rain. 1t was slide and o scramble this af-
terroon. and at the close of the game the players
looked as though they had just emerged from
the plastering stage of mud bath There was
large crowd present, it being fair holiday in
the city, and the ludicrous founderings of the
players evoked much mirth among the audience.
In the seventh inning the home team concluded
to give up their chances of winning, as they
were far behind, and the game was called, with
. score of Z to in favor of the visitors, who
batted much harder than their opponents.
There was no brilliant playing, Clarkson's work
being the most effective. Score.
