ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

CHICAGO, Nav 2.-Rain prevented TO-
DAYS game between the local team and the
band of pirates from Pittsburg. Nothing
caL convince j. Palmer O'Neil this evening
that the rain to-day did not knock his team
out of another victory. President 0'Neil
neser talks about defeat, and this evening
when be saw on the bulletin boards that
both Cleveland and Boston mad been de-
feated he exclaimed:
"Why, now Just look at that If this
darned rain hadn't set in we would have
been tied for first place this evening, be-
cause we would have won to-day's game.
But we'll catch them in day or two"
The Pittsburg team has made good i'm
preston here, and the general opinion is
that they are the best lot that has ever
come out OF Pittsburg. If the game had
gone on to-day there would have been a very
large crowd present. Old Calvin gladdened
the hearts of his numerous friends here yes
terday. and he has many tadmirers. The
veteran is in good form. King and Staley will
pitch the next two games and this evening
they both declared themselves to be in excellent
shape. ..-.-
Your correspondent had a conversation with
President O'Neil and Manager Hanlon regard
ing the team. Both gentlemen stated emphat-
ically that no changes will be made in the team
for week or two. even if then. Manager
Hanlon said: 81 have charge of the team and
I want the public to give the players a show.
They are almost new TO each other and some
OF them are in new POSITIONS This being so, it
cannot be expected that they will get down to
machine-like action in two or three days. l
am confident that they will come out all right
Why, we are playing as good as anybody else
just now
"Oh, yes, am aware that there many COM
plants about Miller's work at short But those
who complain should remember that we have
only tried him on our own grounds which are or
were when we played there, in a very wretched
condition. Consequently he had a very bad
start tie played all right here yesterday, and
he will play all right. At any rate In justice to
Miller and everybody else. he will be given a
good test. One thing is certain, viz, that am
not going TO keep changing my team every day
TO suit the whims of q few people. We have a
good team, and you'll see we'll hold our own
against anybody"
President O'Neil stated that the makeup of
his team was entirely in the hands of Manager
Hanlon. But said the President. "Mr Han
Ion is just acting as | would like to see him.
Our team now is first class if our pitchers were
only in their best form. When they get thor
oughly into line the baseball world will know
we are on deckn

well informed horsemen of the State. He is
taking considerable interest in the approach

mouth B., son of Aberdeen. He also has the
black geIding Milton Blackwood. that trotted
desperate race of seven heats. against Stevie
at Tonawanda last year, taking record of
2:26L. The most promising trotter In Haley's
stable is the black mare Lizzie S, by Wildfire.
Last year as a four-year,old she trotted to q
record Of 2:22,4, and this year. it IS thought,
she will trot several seconds faster. She is
already matched against the stallion Lakewood
Prince (226L). owned by the ChautauQua
Lake Stock Farm, for purse of 81, 700. The
stallion Frontier, by Onward, (22514). and the
bay gelding Franklin, are also In Haley's
stable.
