The Fictors and the Vanquished on the
Bloodless Field of Contest.
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 2.-The Colts won
both games today with but little effort
Griffith's pitching was entirely too much
for the Browns in the first, their solitary
run at the finish being purely a gift.
Grimes was easy for the locals in the
second, while Briggs kept his hits well
scattered. Dahlen's all around work in
both sames and Anson's fielding in the
second were features. Attendance, 5000.
