ESPECIAL rr1reRAx TO THE DISPATCH,


CHICAGO, May 1.-THE drizzling rain
which came down from the leaden clouds
to-day started q. fungus growth on the
Chicago Pittsburg game. 1t sprouted lich-
ems, msngoes, horse-chestnuts and white
lilacs.. 1t made the ground look like
brickyard. 1t filled the air with a sepul-
ehric smell, and it made everybody feel as
though he was in cave which was leaking
at every pore. 1t was good day to sit in
the jaws of rail fence and shoot ducks, but
aside from this there is no especial reason why
the day should go on the books at ALL
The Chicagos won because they couldn't help
It After they had been shut out in the first
inning the Pittsburgers began to slug Hutch
inson's "Home, Sweet Home" delivery Han
lon was the 1irst to take good whack at it. He
knocked the bars out of the first verse, and
then Beckley slugged the chorus over the
fence. The only thing Dunlap found when he
came to bat was the bass violin and the clario-
net
KNOCKED THE FIDDLE OUT.
He caught the dropsical fiddle in the paunch
and dropped it over the Harrison street wall
for another home run. Then Maui banged the
clarionet away out with it into the center field
for base. 1t now looked as though the Chi
cagos' orchestra had been knocked out of
shape. The visitors had piled up three earned
runs. Old Anson grew very red and the patter-
ing rain battered through the pat hands which
he patted on the pockets of his pantaloons
Carroll and Miller went out from Pfeffer to
Anson.
Both sides were shut out in the second in
ming, the feature of the fielding being one
hand stop by Pfeffer of screaming old shot
from Sundays bat. Up to this time the Chi
cagos had been unable to do anything with the
grinning red-faced Morris. But in the third
inning they began to feed of him. Itwas
cold lunch in the drizzling, sticky rain, but the
spectators seemed to enjoy the banquet.
Ghoulish looking Hutchinson sank his fangs
on the ball for base. Ryan was not so hungry
and sat down. Van Haltren, however, was
ravenous. He was swinish. He stuck his fork
in the ball, which looked larger than man.
hole, and then swiped it with his knife.
THEY ENJOYED COLD LUNCH.
The spherical looking pudding went up into
the air with noise that sounded like cough
of horse in a church stable, and after soaring
in diagonal direction. dropped among the
hoopskirts and tomato crates in a vacant lot in
Harrison street. Two runs came over the
plate. It needed only one more to tie the
score. Morris took reef in his trousers and
wiped the rain out of his eyes. Then he gave
Duffy his base on balls: Anson plucked the
wishbone out of the ball for base. sending
Duffy to third Pfeher, who was also
hungry, was given a pudding, which he
dropped with soft, mellow noise
away out in center field. Duffy crossed the
yelled uproariously. Anson was now on sec
ond. Farrell popped up an easy fly to Smith.
Old Anson tr0tted out on the base line to make
a demonstration in order to disconcert the
efervescent and carbonated Pop" He
jumped in front OF the shortstop, waved his fat
red arms and opened his face. Smith simply
squeezed the ball and before the 'old man"
knew what he was about he was folded in q
neat double play from short to second.
THE CROWD RoARED.
Old Anson ground his chops and turned
vindictive blood thirsty glance toward the grand
stand. The visitors were shut out in their half
Of the inning. A phenomenal running pick up
by Pfeffer being the feature Of the fielding.
After Burns had been retired in the fourth,
Gumbert she lusty young man from Monon-
gahela who has been doing some terrific batting
during the past week, lifted the ball over
Mauls head for three bases, and scored a
moment later on Hutchinson's second safe
drive to the center field. Ryanis ground ball to
Miller caught Hutchinson on second, and Van
Haltren's long fly to Maui retired the side The
visitors again took the lead In their half Of the
inning The rain was now falling steadily and
the ball was difficult TO handle. Maui got his
base on balls and was advanced to second on
Carrolls sharp hit TO Hutchinson. Little Mil
Ter then caught the ball between the eyes and
dropped it among the carriages for three bags,
sending Maui over the plate. Burns fumbleo of
Smiths hard hit let Miller home. Then Pop
Smith started to steal second. Farrell threw
SO wild that the runner reached third and on
passed ball the venerable sprinter from Pitts
burg crossed the plate with the sixth run.
Morris and Sunday struck out.
MAUI WENT IN TO PITCH
against the Chicagos in the fifth. The change
was advantageous to the visitors for an inning
at least, for the Chicagos we're shut out in the
fifth. After two of the Pittsburgers had been
retired in their half of the inning Dunlap made
q safe hit and was driven around the rest OF
the circuit by Maul's furious hit to the left field
for three bases. The score now stood to in
favor of Pittsburg. Maui now lost control of
the slippery ball He struck Gumbert out, but
spoiled this bit of good work by sending
on balls. With the sacks loaded little
Duffy dropped the ball into left field
for two bases, sending Hutchinson and
Ryan over the plate. Then Anson
The Eastern captain got down on his marrow
bones, stopped the ball, and he fired it on
straight line to Carroll to catch VanHaltren,
who was tearing down the base line. The big
catcher muffed the ball, and the runner
scored Pfeffer got his base on balls. Farrell's
grounder to Smith caught Pfeffer at second, but
Duffy scored before the ball could be returned
to the plate. Burns closed the inning by
striking out. The visitors went out in order
in the last half Of the inning The score now
stood to in favor of Chicago. Singles by
Gumbert, Ryan and Anson and q double by
Duffy gave the home team three more runs in
the seventh, the visitors not being able to get
man past second. The grounds were now so
wet that Umpire Lynch called the game.
