Eddie Summers, Detroit, and
Miner Brown, the premier pitcher
of the Chicago team, opposed each
Z other and the latter had all the bet

He stole second. Chance, next man

by Steinfe1dt and Holman followed,
sending Shuttle and Chance across
the plate Steinfeldt took third and
& Holman second during the run get

was a grounder to O'Leary, who
threw him out.
The Chicago's next and final run
occurred in the ninth, when Winter

change made no difference with Chi

play, was caught mapping by Killing.
Crawford retired to the bench
