The most runs that ever were MADE
in one inning in a National League
game were made in that which was
played by Chicago and Detroit sep
TENDER 6, 1888. Chicago scored Is
runs in one inning. The final score
was % to 6 in favor OF Chicago. VI
course, 1t is right to expect that chi
,eago would have been the team to
make the greater number of runs, De-
cause about that time the Chlcagos
were the batting wonders OF protes-
rfonal base ball, and everybody went
out to see Arson play first base, ana
bat; and to jeer him If he did not
make his regular single or two. That
never bothered Arson much. If the
taunts came too strong, he would
take off his cap and bow with courtly
grace to the bleachers, which made
the crowds yell all the louder, al
though they liked the "Old Man" be
cause he noticed them.
ON that Chicago club of 1888 there
was Arson at first base, Pfeffer at
second base-one of the intielders of
base ball who never had been given
credit for his skill, because he played
fist about as much as Arson played
'fhe bag, the latter not being the most
nin1ble ground coverer in the world;
Williamson at third base. a ball play
ed over whom Arson would reVel by
the hour, and Burns at shortstop.
Eventually Burns became third base
man Of the Chicago nine, and in time
became the counselor Of most i'm
portance to Arson, for many a game
was played in which Burns was doing
the coaching, although Arson was
made to believe that everything orig
mated with him. The old fellow was
very jealous of his authority and oc-
cAsfonally as pigheaded as a porker
hound for the front of limited ex-
press. but the other members of the
Chicago team carried Cap" along and
made him think that he had sug-
sested plays which had been thought
out O day before.

Joe Quest on second. Little Joe was
holding his own well. Farrell played
third for Detroit and Sadie Houck
was shortstop. 1t was not the infield
that Chicago had by a long shot, and
then some.
In the outfeld Chicago had Gore,
Dalrymple and Kelly. Detroit played
Hanlon could play rings around all
of them when it came to fielding, but
Arson held to the theory that what
the outfield needed was hitters and
the ball could take care of Itself. He
wanted heavy artillery, and plenty of
it, in the outfield, and he sacrificed
fielding strength to batting, but he
managed to win mpionships, so
that hobby of his did not worry
Chicago much.
The catchers were Bennett and
Trott for Detroit and Flint and Kelly
for Chicago. Old Silver Flint caught
until his fingers were worse knotted
than the branch of a wild crab tree
He was one OF the d-time catchers
who would not get from behind the
bat until his hands were so numb the
ball dropped away from them, leav-
ing no sensation of contact.
Burns, Shaw and Weidman pitched
for Detroit and Corcoran and Gold
smith for Chicago. The latter still
is living. These two Chicago pitch
ers carried the team to a pennant.
The eighteen runs were made in the
seventh inning. The Chicagos got
started, and the Detroits watched the
procession of runners so around, until
they wers dizzy when the eighteenth
crossed the plate. When Arson was
asked about it, he said: Just what
I've always told you Gimme the
batters and I'll produce the runs and
knock these pitchers into cooked
hat We ought O made 2S.''
