outside the city, hard to reach except
by steam cars, you can imagine this
tension on the Chicago public over tho
game.
"The Reds soon forged to the front,
playing In their old-time form. and
they held the lead UP to the eighth In
ming, and by a good margin. In th6
seven innings that Cincinnati was in
the lead the vast multitude, and Z
was one OF them, was held spellboutd
by the magnificent fielding and perfect
defense In stopping the run-getting;
of the Chicagos, but when the entliu-
slasm OF the Chicago people broke loose
1T overleaped It's bounds.
II have seen fielding in all OF its
phases but that day surpassed all In
my history. In some innings Andy
Leonurd, tile left-felder OF the Reds.
would be seen racing with his back
turned out to deep left-feld making
almost impossible catches from Bill
Craver's and Mart Kings bats, and IN
other innings Mcvey was doing tho
same stunt out In the right garden,
while George Wright and Charles
Swa2ey, who died only last week. were
making wonderful stops from Cuth-
bert. McAtee and Tracy and getting
them over to first ahead OF the run
ners.
