New York and Chicago Cross Bats at
the Polo Grounds and Captain An
sons Pride is Dampened by Defeat
and Rain.
New YORK, July 15.-The first game of the
present series between the New York and
Chicago clubs was played this afternoon.
The rain kept many away, but still there
were $40 who saw the visitors downed by
the Giants. Chicago could do nothing with
Keefe until the eighth inning when by few
good hits they tied the score. The Giants,
however, broke the tie in the ninth, when
Richardson's four-bagger brought in three
runs. Score:

Washington Wins From Pittsburg.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Although the Sep-
ators played poorly in the field to day they
batted their opponents pitching in every di-
rection and defeated the Pittsburg team
without any difficulty. The visitors after
the first inning, in which their fielding was
bad, played a sharp game, but were puzzled
with Keefe's deceptive curves. Of the five
hits made by them four were scratches. The
best feature was Daly's catching and batting.
