ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE eighth successive
game won or lost by the Chicago team by one
run was played at the Congress street grounds
this afternoon. This time the Pittsburgs, other
wise known in Cook county as the "Jonahs, "
grabbed off the mutton pie. The game was
fine form, but the latter received the better
support There was not much hitting, but
such as there was was terrific.
MADE A MARK.
The Chicagos scored in the first inning on .
single by Van Haltren, his steal to second and
two errors by Smith. After Carroll and Miller
had been doubled on a rare double play in
Pittsburg's half of the inning, Beckley dropped
the ball against the Harrison street wall for
two bases. passed ball let him to third and
Maurs vicious drive to right sent him over the
plate. Maui scored moment later on a
tumble by Ryan. Neither team scored in the
second, the feature of the inning being a
double play by Anson, Burns and Pfeffer. The
Chicagos took the lead in the third on singles
by Gumbert, Ryan and Van Haltren, and an
error by Kuehne.
THEY LOGGED ALONG.
The Pittsburgs logged along without much
luck until the fifth inning, when they tied the
score on triples by Carroll and Maui. The
game from here until the finish was intensely
interesting. For four innings neither team
could get man over the plate. A lightning
double play by Pfeffer, Anson and Ryan in the
sixth spoiled the visitors chances of smashing
the tie. A remarkable catch by Van Haltren
of line fly in the seventh sent Beckley to his
seat when it looked as though his mighty hit
would carry him around the bases. The Chi
Cages could do nothing with Staley in these
four innings. Not q safe hit was made OFF his
delivery, and only two men got as far as first
base.
In the ninth, after the Chicagos had been re-
tired in the order In which they came to the
bat Pop" Smith banged the ball almost to
the engine house for three bases
WITH NOBODY OUT,
it was dollars to pebbles that the visitors would
win the game. The spectators had begun to
walk out into the warm sunlight of Congress
street. But Gumbert was not ready to give up.
He rubbed the ball in the sand Of the box and
began to pitch with all his might. He fielded
out Staley and Kuehne and held Carroll down
to high fly which VanHaltren caught amid
one of the widest demonstrations seen on the
his long mustaehe and smiled contemptuously
at his colleagues as they went out in the field.
The tenth inning began with a rattling round
Of applause from the stand. Ryan, Van Hal.
tren and Duffy the three great sluggers of the
Chicagos, made frantic lunges at he'ball, but
not one of them could knock it out OF the dia-
mond.
WHERE THEY WON.
The Pittsburgs now resumed business where
1t left off in the fifth inning. Little Miller was
first at the bat. He drove slow ground ball
to Burns who threw the runner out at first,
despite his headlong slide. Then the brawny,
sinuous, double-jointed Beckley, the North
Sea whale of Kansas, came to the bat. There
was one strike on him when he drove furions
liner over the Harrison street wall A groan
arose fronI1rhe stand, but the sepulchral NOISE
was almost instantly followed by tremendous
applause. Score:
