Various League Cities.

Boston, Mass, August 21-The game
to-day was characterized by heavy
batting and poor fielding by both
teams. Both Sullivan and Dwyer were
batted out of the box and their sue
cessors did not fare much better.
Vaughn made a home run on a hit
inside the grounds, the ball rolling un-
der the center field fence and before
Hamilton could find it, Vaughn had
crossed the plate. The throwing of
the Cincinnati out-fielders was strong.
