CHICAGO, 4; NEW YORK. 8.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Amos Rusie's good right
arm failed him for one brief inning. and tho
game, which should have been won by Now
York, was captured by the dospised Colts. It
was in the seventh inning when Ruslo was
seized with q temporary weakness. Up to that
time tho Chioagos had found his delivery for
only four scratch hits, netting but one run. and
that unearnod. Errors had boon charged against
both sides. but. with tho exception Of Gleason's
tumble Of Deckor's hard hit in the second, not
ono Of them had proved costly.
The game was a battle of the pitchers up to
the seventh. Griffith pitched splendid bull. and
held the visitors down to three hits in eight
tnnings. Amos Rusie WAS In fine form, and his
tho Colts. Neither side had It's full regular
nine. Capt. Davis OF. New York was suffering
Van HaItren was out because OF severe injuries
received in st. Louis. Little Murphy, the Yale
man. was at short, but, he failed TO Ill Davis's
Chicago was minus the services OF Lange, the
great centre hslaer. but ho wasn't missed, for
flies and doing good stick work.
The New Works started the run getting in the
hrst. Joyce, the second man up, hit 10 right Tor
two bases. he stole third and crossed tho plate
while Mccormick was handling Murphy's hit
Anson. In the second Anson's men Melted an
99nearned run on q hit by Ryan. an error by
OF making a double in iefding Decker's
groundor. and outs by Decker at first and Con-
nor. VINO HOW out 10 w ll5On.
Tho next four innings were %fruitless, though
In tho NTH the clever hcadworko of Rusie was
the only thing that prevented at least two runs
from being nlado by the Colts. Griffith hit safely
to lett and was advanced to second on o sacri-
flee by Donohue, ana to third on Everitt's hit to
Rusie, who failed In an attempt to catch him by
q throw to Joyce. The decision was q
close one. Mccormick hit to Clark. who
sent the sphere swiftly to Warner. and War
nor chased Griffith down near third. Galatians
out, settled the question and retired the side
chance, apparently, for victory. Herman landed
pm one OF Grithth's curves and sent the ball
cumming into far centre. 1t was q beautiful
three-bagger, and, had it boon played for ono,
lhe score might have boon different, but Herman
had an idea that he could beat the ball to the
plate. He miscalculated the throwing abilities
81 Ryan and Callahan, for, when he got to tho
plate, he found the ball there ahead of nin, and
In Donohue's big mitt.
Then came the unlucky seventh. Now York
bad retired in order Of batting. For Chicago,
Connor went out to Warner on a foul fly. Grit.

end was advanced to third on u single by DonO-
hue. Evcritt, who had not made n hit up to
that time. caught tho ball squarely on the end
Of his bat and 1t sailed clear over the grounds
and brought up against the centrefield bleach
ers. When 1t got back into the diamond three
Chicago players were resting on the bench, after
their nrduous trip from sack to sack.
After this discouraRinR setback there seemed
TO be no hope for the New Workers. but in the
ninth they game very near tying the score ON
tinEIes ny Herman. Meclin. who batted in place
of Murphy, and Gleason. Joyce unfortunately
struck out. and Holmes and Clark spoiled the
mick and Common respectively to Arson. The
