NATIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Summaries of Yesterdays Games in
Various League Cities.

New York. June 2.-The New Yorlls
made it two straight for the Chicagos
this afternoon. For six innings it was
nip and tuck. Anson's Colts took the
lead in the third, but lost it in the
sixth. In the seventh inning three
Irwinites romped across the plate and
it was then all day with Anson. Grif-
fifth pitched we'll until this event, when
he seemed to weaken. Meeltin main
tanned great speed throughout the en-
tire game. PETER, in attempting to
throw out Farrell at the plate in the
second inning hit Harry Davis, who
was running from first to second, in
the temple and it was some time be-
fore he recovered. In the meantime
two runners had scored on the throw.

CINCINNATI, IA; PHILADELPHIA, 3.
Philadelphia, Pa, June 2.-The Phil
lies to-day gave an elaborate exhibit
tion of how not to play the National
game. Their errors were of the rank
ed like a lot of wooden men. Apart
from this they were unable to hit
Ehret to advantage at any stage and
the Cincinnati team simply toyed
with them. Attendance 5,275.

story of the st. Louis Browns defeat
at Eastern Park this afternoon. The

LOUISVILLE, 10; BOSTON, ..
Boston, June 2.-The only thing
that prevented Boston from getting
shut out to-day by the Louisvilles was
O'Brien dropping Stivett's fly ball in
the ninth, after two men were out. The
feature of the game was one-handed
catch by O'Brien, completing a double
play Willie Names was batted out of
the box in the third inning. Attend

BALTIMORE, 10; PITTSBURG, 3.
Baltimore, Md, June 2.-Pond was in
the box for the Champions to-day and
until the ninth inning proved irwin
cible, not a solitary hit having been
made off him up to that time. The
home team on the other hand batted
Hughey freely, and the result was
never in doubt. Merritt hurt his
finger in the fifth inning trying to
catch a foul tip and Sugden took his
place. Attendance, 3,744. Score:

pose, their runs being made on base
on balls and home run in the second,
and a passed ball and double by Cart

fourth inning was Germans waterloo,
when a base on balls and five singles
