Thirteen bits and Ten Errors Combine to Lay Out
the Local Nationals.
YESTERDAYS ATTENDANCE.

Truly the sun do novel;
Who ever would have thought that Gentle
Jeems Calvin, the old Pittsburg war-horse,
would get three hits in one game? The old
man broke his record yesterday, sure. The
way he sailed into the hit market was a eau
tion, and he fsttened his average by several.
He is becoming somewhat of a sprinter, too,
and came near stealing base on several oc-
caSions. At one time he did make hard
run and got second, when Carroll got base
on balls and crowded him off first.
1t was a great slugging match, and as
Hsnlon's beauties had good supply of
sticks on hand, they proceeded to hit hard
whether it broke the bats or not Doubles and
tnpples sizzling hot were scot to all quarters
of the patch, and the boys ran bases like race
horses. Brooklyn also got up on her toes and
hustled but it wasn't to be, and at the toot of
the trumpet Our Own were announced the vic
tors. 1t was not bloodless victory, however,
as Pitcher Calvin tried TO stop hot one with
his hand and 1t opened up communication with
his gore.
After Pittsburg had earned a couple of runs
IN their half of the first inning the cranks
hOwled and felt happy, but when Wards men
had quit gloom o'erspread the countenances
of the fans" Five runs had been scored
mainly on errors. In fact. four of Pittsburg's
errors were made IN this inning. But in the
fourth inning the local men thumped out six
runs and after that 'tall went merry as a mar
riage bell" Weyhing retired from the box and
Sowders succeeded him, which slightly i'm
proved matters as only seven hits and four
runs were gained off him in the remainder of
the game. The greatest surprise of the game
was the work of Beckley he having two very
raw errors. Fields had two wild throws and
two passed balls to his creditor rather dis
credit. Ward also had couple of errors, but
he is really not in condition to play ball Cor
coran's mistake was a wild throw that went
past the grand stand and apparently was going
around to see the turnstile, allowing Andrews
to score from third and Bauer went all the way
around Attendance All. The score:

CHICAGO. August 4-Corporation Counsel
Hutchinson this morning made application be-
fore Judge Horton for an order to compel Ed
ward Corrigan to put on file his bill asking for
an injunction against the mayor and chief of
police to restrain them from interfering with
pool selling on his West Side race track. In his
bill, Corrigan charged that the mayor and
chief of police we're corruptly in colluslon with
the down town pool sellers.
The bill was taken before master in chan
cery who recommended that the injunction is
sue but was never filed with the clerk OF the
court so that the defendants had no means OF
Joining issue. Judge Horton expressed some
