ESPECIAL TELKeRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
CHICAGO, August 24.-The editorial
page of the Score Card to-day contained a
small paragraph to the effect that John
Tener had asked permission of Captain An
son to pitch against his fellow-townsmen.
He was permitted to go into the box. The
Pittsburgs won, and Tener walked
to the clubhouse with a hard, mur-
derous-looking face. The big fellow
was not wholly to blame for the loss of the
game, though he might have put more steam
into his delivery at critical times. The
Chicagos played game which was entirely out
OF season. 1t was too ripe. and not pleasant to
look upon. And then, too, Umpire Lynch was
very offensive in his close decisions The Chi
cagos got the worst of his rulings. But this
did not lose them the game.
A GREAT CROWD.
The usual great Saturday afternoon crowd
was out; probably 1000 persons were in the
stands. 1t was a roaring and critical crowd.
1t roasted Umpire Lynch in such a merciless
manner, that he found it necessary to pause in
his work and inform several spectators on the
roof that he would have them removed from
the grounds unless they stopped their offensive
criticism of his decisions.
The visitors scored an earned run in the first
on singles by Carroll and Fields and a sacrifice
by Beckley. In the third Tener hit Carroll
with the ball and sent Rowe to his base on
balls.
HANLoN HIT THE BALL.
Beckley and Fields were retired, but Hsnlon,
who used club that looked as though it had
been cut from hearse, smashed the ball hard
and clean into the outfield and brought Carroll
and Rowe home. Hanlon's splendid hitting
brought in two more runs in the fifth, when,
after BecKley had been sent to his bench the
Pennsylvania captain again lined the ball into
the outfield, bringing Carroll and Rowe over
the plate. After that the visitors did not get
but one man past first base.
The Chicagos were not in the race at any
time during the game Calvin, who is usually
rather good eating on the home grounds at
this time of year. was surprisingly effective to-
day. He swung his big fat arms with much
vehemence, and laughed merrily as the sweat
rolled of his globular face, and. dropping into
the box, rose above the tops of his shoes.
BAD BASE RUNNING.
Some foolish base running by Van Haltren
lost the home team a run in the first inning.
In the third inning Ryan made a circuit of the
bases on his splendid shot to right, a
steal to second, and Van Haltren's sin
gle to left Lynch's decision in this inning
in calling Tener out at first on what was prob
ably an error by Rowe aroused considerable ill
feeling in the stands, one large man on the
roof leaning over the rails asking in loud
voice how much Lynch was getting for throw
ing the game.
In the fourth and fifth innings the Chicagos
went out in the order in which they went to
bat. In the sixth Lynch made another de-
cision which came pretty near drawing several
spectators out of the stands and on the dia-
mond. Tne ruling cost the Chicagos
at least one run and made Anson very
red around the collar. The play was on ground
ball hit by Duffy to Kuehne. Beckley was not
on his base when he received the ball, but
Lynch declared the runner out as well as Van
Haltren, whom Beckley caught at the plate
After one man was out in the eighth. Ryan
scored the last run for his side by single to
left, tumble by Dunlap and a single by An
their order.
