The individual records of the Second regiment team are as follows:
BROOKLYN NOW TWO AHEAD.
Decisions by Umpire Gaffney Delay the
 Game and Cause Trouble.

Only Six Innings Were Played-Clarkson
 Grooms-The Playing was Not Brilliant.
 A Small Attendance on Account of tho
 Cold Weather.
 NETWORK, Oct 24.-A dark, lowering sky and decidedly cold day greeted
 the champions of the League and of the
 Association on the event of their fourth
 meeting for the Worlds Championship yesterday.
 In consequence of the cold but ?, 5o0
 people had the hardihood to dare pneu-
 monia to witness the game, and they
 sat with overcoats buttoned to the chin,
 and kept up continual tramping in the
 stands to warm up.
 Crane and ferry were on the cards to
 pitch, and in v1ew of the formers fine work of last Saturday, an easy thing
 for New York Was confidently expected.
 This proved to be mistake, however,
 for the Brooklyns took kindly to his
 pitching when hits were needed, and
 with the assistance of some very ''yel- low' fielding, pileI up runs in almost every inning.
 The New York were not in it. up to tho sixth inning. Tn the latter inning they began to bat very hard. O'Rourke led off with a two-bagger and was advanced to third cn Whitneys safe bunt. Cranes hit sent O'Rourke and Whitney across the rubber and earned the batter third. Gore followed with another three rhagger, scoring Crane. Tiernan struck out. Ewing hit to the pitcher who threw to the plato to catch Gore, who had started for home. Gore turned back and Clarke's throw to PinkneT te catch the runner struck Gore in the back and bounded into the field. Gaffney, to the surprise of the New Workers, and the delight of tho Brooklvnites called Gore out for inter- ference. After lengthy kick this decision went. Ewing on the play got first and went to third on Wards sin gle. Ward started for second and Clarke made bluff by throwing down to head him off. Instead he threw to third to catch Ewing but the throw was wild and Ewing scored. Ward started in from second on the error, and O'Brien felded the ball from left to head him off. His throw in hit O'Rourke, who stood on the coacher's lines, and Ward reached homo. Calf ney decided that Ward must return to third.
 A prolonged kick followed. Ewing | claimed that O'Rourke, as coacher, had a | right to stand where he did, that the | throw was wild. and that O'Rourke, or no ORourke, tho ball would not have reached home in time to cause Ward 8 | out. Ewing rather than obey Gaffney 1 and order Ward back to third, said he would take his men from the field. Gaff- | ney then tacitly admitted that he was in error by allowing Wards run. This gave Brooklyn a chance to delay the game for darkness, and this they did, | gathering around Gaffney and arguing | for 25 minutes. He. however, hold to | his last decision, counting Wards run, l which tied the score.
 | It was now almost too dark to play. but l the game was resumed. Connor the l next batter for New York, struck out, | retiring the side.
 Crane, taking advantage of the dark l ness, began shooting them over the l plate for Brooklyps' first batter, Cork hill, and he retired on strikes. Rich
 ardson fumbled Smiths groundax, and | Crane sent Collins to first base on balls. l O'Brien couldn't sec the ball and famed
 out, but Burns, the following batter
 did. He lined out single and tho game
 was won for Brooklyn. He was allowed
 to make the circuit of the bases on his
 hit. no one fielding tue ball. The fol
 lowing is the scors
 | New York. k.........O l l .-
 MT. Day says he will not play any
 more games under Gaffney unless he is
 more fair in his decisions.
