CHICAGO, August 23.-Nobody saw any
worms or chinch bugs on the game between
Chicago and PittsbuIg to-day. 1t was one
of the prettiest contests at the Congress
street grounds this season, and it had q tail
so large that it almost flung Anson out Of
the yard with one swash. Hutchinson and
Staley pitched remarkable ball, but the
latter did not receive good support, the
large, fat gentleman n the left field for the
visitors being responsible for one OF
Caicago's runs. This same gentleman
made another seemingly disastrous error,
but the rest of his colleagues managed to
retrieve what had been lost, and thereby
held the score down to small figures. The
famous stonewan infield of the home team
played with the precision and dash of former
days. For the visitors
LITTLE JACK FIELDS WON
much applause by his excellent work behind
the bat Big Fred Carroll made three out
rageous errors in the first inning. If any more
errors worse errors were ever made in
single inning by one player, the books fail to
record the performance. Carroll muffed Van
Haltren's easy fy fell over Anson's short
single and then came pretty nearly bunting the
Van Haltren at the plate.
In the second, third and fourth innings Chi
cagos went out in the order in which they went
to bat In the fifth, Williamson and Farrell
pounded out singles. but stupid base running
and some clever work by the Pennsylvanians'
infield kept them from scoring. Senator Ryan
opened the sixth with long high drive over
the Congress street wall for a home run after
Williamson had struck out in the sixth. Far
moment later on the latter's sharp grounder
to Rowe.
HUTCHINSON IN FORM.
In the eighth the Chicagos did not get man
past first base Hutchinson's command over
the ball was too much for the visitors They
sawed away with great desperation but rarely
succeeded in placing hit. Rowe hit safely in
the first inning and Carroll in the third, but
neither got farther than first bass. After
Beckley had been retired in the fourth, Fields
cracked a liner to left, ana on an error by
Williamson, who let Hanlon's hot grounder
gallop between his legs. the backstop then
went to third, then Hutchinson made wild
pitch and Fields started for home. He was
caught al the plate on a close decision. The
visitors went out in order in the fifth. Carroll
opened the sixth on a safe hit, but the remark
able work of Pfeffer, Williamson and Burns
infield by Rowe. Beckley and Fields was ter
rihc. Not one of the Pennsylvanians reached
first base in the seventh and eighth innings.
Everybody now thought that the visitors
would be shut outand many spectators started
TO leave the grounds as the Pittsburgs came In
to take their last crack of the bail. Beckley
galloped over the sward, and IN a voice which
seemed to come out of his boots and roll in
great billows into the stands, announced that
he was going to get some runs. Rowe was first
at the bat. He
MADE A BASE HIT.
Then Beckley, true to his word, smashed
furious grounder to right, which Pfeffer beat
down in a most miraculous way with one hand
There were now two men on bases and nobody
out. Fields hit sharply to Burns, who caught
Beckley at second. In the meantime Rowe had
reached third. Hanlon drove blistering
grounder to Williamson, fumbled it for IN in
slant and then shot it to Pfeffer in time TO nip
Fields. Rowe clattered over the plate on the
play. Haulon was on first when Sunday
hoisted the ball away out into the infield for
two bases. Then began a desperate run for the
tying score, Both runners ran desperately but
HanloE made q fatal error when he stopped on
third. Had he kept right on he could have
scored easily. When Emperor William Kuehne
came to bat he found Hanlon on third, Sunday
on second and the crowd in a. cold sweat
when the latter gave the ball hideous swipe
in the face. A groan arose from the stands.
1t looked as though the ball was going to the
carriages. Van Haltren started after the ball
on a keen run and by a short leap into the air
squeezed it to his breast The crowd gave a
wild yell of exultation and then passed out into
the street. Score:
