CHICAGO, August 22.-The most salts
factory thing about to-dsy's ball game, so
far as the Chicago club is concerned, was
the gate money. There was big crowd out,
but it did not see much lively ball playing.
The Pittsburgers batted in fine style and
came pretty nearly lifting two of their
felIow-townsmen out of the box. Gumbert
lasted for the first two innings and then
"Long John" Tener began to serve the ball.
The change did not seem to improve matters
any, for when the visitors wanted runs they
sort of pulled themselves together and got
them by hard, clean hitting. Norris was
effective at times, but it was great wonder
that he was not batted all over the west
division. He pitched q slow, easy ball,
which looked as big as fish basket Ryan,
Anson and Burns touched him up rather
freely but the rest Of the team were unable to
do anything with his peculiar delivery.
MADE A GOOD START.
The visitors took long lead in the first
inning and were never headed. They were not
even pushed. A battery error. singles by Rowe,
Beckley, Fields and Hanlon, errors by William
son, Burns and Gumbert and a screaming old
drive for a base by lusty Fred Carroll, gave
In the fourth Morris made a base hit and
nearly dropped dead. He was carried to Sec
ond on Carrolrs good single ana then both run
ners were driven over the plate by the mighty
Beckley who smashed the ball hot and furious
to the: right field. Kuehne opened the fifth
with a terrific drive into the carriages for
home run. He was loudly cheered as he
crossed the plate. In the seventh Sunday made
the circuit of the sacks on a base on balls.

Rowe BeckIey and Fields were retired on three
pitched pals in the eighth. After Hanlon had
been retired in the ninth Sunday got his base
on balls and went to second on a safe drive by
Dunlap past TeEer's head. He then started to
steal third.

on the part of the nut-brown backstop gave
Pittsburg their eleventh run, Sunday crossing
the plate upon his stomach and amid exultant
cheers from the stands. The Chicagos began
- to score in the second inning, when Darling,
who had got his base on Alls, and Burns. who
had made a cracking good hit to right, were
driven across the plate on a pretty single by

with what appeared to pretty nearly everybody
a safe hit along the left field foul line. Old
man Ansop, who was running for the big short

gait He was called home by Umpire Lynch,
who said the hit was foul, and roar of indig-

looping across the diamond with his hat in his
hand. His face was red He puffed up his
cheeks and roared.

Lynch waved a whsk broom at him and then
he subsided. Williamson struck out a moment
later. The home team scored two unearned
runs in the fifth on Van Haltren's hit, which
caught Ryan at second, muf by Hanlon OF
Duffys short fly and a single by AnsOn. Ryan
and Van Haltren hit safely in the seventh. but
neither scored. In the eighth Darling got his
base on balls after two men were out and scored
on singles by Burns and Tener. When the
Chicagos came in to bat in the ninth Anson in

quickly disposed of by Dunlap and Beckley and
the latter gentleman, with the kind assistance
of his aggravated hands, trapped Duffy's high
foul. Anson got his base on balls, Pfeffer
made base hit and both were advanced a base
on a wild throw by Dunlap. Then Williamson
brought both runners home with a high, gal

were all the runs the Chicagos got. They

called Darling out on strikes, but as Umpire
Lynch chose this method of hanging sInkers

streets with hard, rigid lines in their faces
