CHICAGO. October 1.-THE Chicago
National League Club defeated the local
club of the American League 4 to in
yesterdays game of the series which is
to decide the city championship. This
is the second victory for the Nationals.
Two games resulted in a tie.
The game was a pitchers battle be-
tween Walsh and Reulbach. Walsh al
lowed seven hits. two of which were
doubles and one a home run, while Reul-
bach was touched for eight, four of
which were doubles.
Never before has so large a crowd
passed through the turnstiles of the Ma
tional League Park here. The official at
tendance as announced by the national
commission was 30, 1893: the total receipts
81. 1877. OF this amount the national
commission will receive $2.119.7O: each
club gets $3,S15.46, and $11 .4463S goes to
the players.
The crowd became so unmanageable in
the early part of the game that it was
impossible for a large detail of police to
keep them from crowding onto the in
field. A dozen or more park attaches
and ushers went to the assistance of the
police. and when this failed to put the
crowd back the National League players,
each armed with a bat, went to the res
cue. After some time the crowd was
quieted and the game resumed.

Browns little southpaw. Steele in all
his career as a big-league finger never
hurled a better article of ball than he
did yesterday. All told. Steele allowed
only three hits, Manager Stovall getting
ten only clean-cut swat that was made by
the American Leaguers. Jimmy Austin

Gallaudet could hardly have expected

several games and the Gallaudet team

it is very likely that he will be given a
thorough try-out this week.
The line charged low and as one man,
but the right side looked to be weak.
Brennan will be ready to start Saturday,
and will very probably be sent i'm at
right guard. With his help Magill and
Swift should show up well and take care
of anything which comes their way. On
the left side of the line Durby and Boyle
formed the nucleus of a stone wall, and
Rock Hill found il SO, as it failed to send
play through them after the first few
minutes of play. In the back field Butler,
who last year played end. showed up we'll

next Saturday if he continues to show

ness in breaking up forward passes. and
this week he will be given special in

four times Saturday Mccarthy. at half
back. intercepted the passes. but could
not hold the ball. and each time he had a

The result was that Bedient was taken

Munhall said: Yes. they are to be

when the wedding will take place" 1.
The prospective bride belongs to one
of the oldest and wealthiest Of Pitts
burgh families. She is active in society
and is popular in the athletic set at the
Country Club. Mr. Campbell and Miss
Munhall were introduced in the grand
stand at Forbes Field one day late in

there. Campbell says he has quit base

Dunn and White at fullback pleased the

shifting Dunn to halfback with Murray.
and using White in at fullback. OF
Costello must be used on the

this would necessitate the shifting of
Costello into the quarterback position.
The coaches know that in Calnan they
