THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1874, SPORTING NEWS. First Game of tho White and Red Stockings, The Latter Win the Day by 11 to 10. Derby Day in England-—-The Epsom Raoes. Races at Freeport, IIl,, and Cambridge City, Ind. Pigoon-Shooting at Dextoer Parl, BASE BALL. THE RED AND WIITE BTOCKINGS. The much-talkod-of game betweon the White Btockings and tho chwmplon Red Btookings, of Boston, was played, yostorday afternoon, on the Twonty-third streot grounds, in tho prosonce of about 7,000 people, Tho day was all that could havo been dosired, the weather being dry and plensantly cool. Notwithstanding tho fact that the homo club was besten by a score of 11 to 10, nono who witnessed tho gimo, and who can look baok upon it, with an impnrtial oye, will dony that it was a finoly-played contest, oxcept in raro inatances, Thoso who possoss & practical knowledgo of the aport, and can montally analyzo tho -rolative morits of playors as they go through s gamo,will roadily admit thut tho mombors ot tho Chicago niuo are the equals 1n evory roupact of thoir red- Tliosed ndverenrios, and that it hoir-splitting com- parisons wero drawn wo would in all probability find that wo hnvo n much Btrongor organization in many respects than it would be in placo just now to mention, Even in thoir defeat the White Stockiugs clearly demon- strated yestorday that tho talk, heard so much of Inte, about tho Itods baving & suro thing to win overy tima thoy play with them, or with any other professionsl club for that matter, is simply nonsenso, But for orrors on tho part of Hinos, QOuthbort, Moyorle, Malono, and Petors, and for an umpire whose partiality was so glm‘fng as to bo positively disguating to fair-minded people, Mo TrRIpNE this morning would Lo enabled to chironicle_tho * White nbove tho Rod” again, a8 it has dono mauy times in tho past, and hopes to do mauy moro imes in the future. It wes apparent to all ihat tho home club played tho best. The score, of course, shiows that tho Dostons outbatted it a littlo, but it should bo taken into considerntion that Zettlein was 80 closoly watched by the umpire that balf his offectivencss was taken away, while Spald- ing, on tho othor haud, was_allowed overy Inti- tudo, and almoat meh.lcd to do just ploased. Wo do not know tho nuthorized ropresentatives of the Whito Stockings agreed to the gelection of the umpire who_ncted yostorday, but it must have been eithor Mr. Gausolts, Mr. Young, or Mr. Malone, the Captain. The choico wag certaivly an unwise one, asit isn well-known fact that tho individual In question bears tho Chicago Base-Bull Association no good will, bo- causo bo was not allowed to becomo a membor of thonine, The flelding record of yeslerdny's e oo tliat tho. Whltos wero superior in Lnt dopartment, as they hind lesy errors that wero inexcasable, and, besides, errors of the pitclior are counted in which wero solely duoe to tho wrotched llm\:ifiug. i The gamo was bogun at the usual hour. with the Whites ot the bat, tho visitors having won tho toss, 'Tho former wero putout withouta xun, though it was no fault of Georgo Wright's tuat thoy did not got_ono, & low thtow by him giving Forco u base. Mioyorle aleo reached firat, but it was on asafo Iut, sud be was Joft there, The Bostons failed to make n hit, and, thore be- ing no_ fielding crrory, they woro biauked. Tho of wocond inming was tho reverso of the first as to tho batting, the Chi- eago men _boing out in quick - put puccession, whilo the %outons ot o man to Brston & pafo hit—Leonard. In the third in- ning tho sspoot of tho gamo was changed con- piderably, Despito n badly-muffed fly by Spald- ing, the Whites wero gont to tho fiold with their third cyphor, and then tho Reds howed tho first batting of any account in tho game, by which Tty mado and oarned throo runs, Hall started off with o lightning liner to tho centro fiold, aud was followed by Schafer, who sent the ball nimost in tho same _ apot. Hall was brought home by Goorgo Wright’s_two-base Iut to tho right Hold foneo, nnd Schafor scored whilo Whito was being flelded out at first. A gafo hit by MoVoy earnod George Wright's run, ond then the side was put out, The priuclpui featuro of the flelding i this inning was » run- ning tly catch by Glonn that ie soldom equaled. The fourth inmng wasiell bogun by the Whites, Myorlo securing & bawo on & fng hit, ouly to bo left standing on it by the threo succeeding strikers, whe popped up weak flys for tho infloldors. Tho visiting ciub weut out fn one, two, threo order. The lifth inning resulted in o blank on both sides, and wns well fielded by the Wuites, Tho latter did not mak any safo hits, bul ono of their num- bor got a#_far as lirst on a mufl of o grounder by George Wright, On tho Boston side Schnfor 1ndo & safe hit, only to becrught out by Malono snd Poters whilo attompting to stesl fo second base. Qcorge Wright was sent to firsl on wides when, if he had been fairly {rented, bo. should _have been gleclared out on strikes. White made n sife bit, ond Spalding knocked up & fly to Glenn, giving the Intter an opportunity to nssist Devlin 1n making o fino double play, which was cloverly talen ad- yautage of. I'he pixth inning was one of thomost remark- able oxhibitions ot ‘ball-playing ever witnessed in this or nuy other city, and tho audienco went wild with enthuelasm over it. Tho Whitaes, in their half of it, went to bat no Ises than thirteon limes, and scored nine rums by tho safest kind of batting, oarning five of thom, Malone was the first to commouco Work. He mado o rafo hit, and_was closely imitated by Moyerle aud Dovlin, and tlo bases wora full, Yoters struck for a long fly, in order that one mnan at lonst might got home, sud astonished Limsolf and worked the audience into a stato of inteneo oxcitoment by making s two-buso hit, on which Malouo and Moyerla scored, and Dey- lin reacbed third. Hinesat this juncturo struck 4 foul, upon which Doviin'and Pators both rau, but every member of the Boston nino, was so nervous that the ball was not roturned to the roper porgon, and tho men saved their bases. Yliunu then struck to Loonard, who fielded the buso promptly to O'Rourke, but the latter failed to hold it, and Devlin got homo, making iho game atio. An attempt was mado to cut off Tlinos when stonling second, but Leonard mulfed iho throw, and TPeters scored, while Hinou wont on to third, 1legot homo on Glenn's snfo hit. Zettloin hit to Schafer, who threw to Loonurd to put out Glonn. The bull was’mulled again, however, and the runners took an oxira base pach. Cuthbert's sufo hit brought one of thoi howo. At this point tho monotony of the gwame was broken by tho retiroment of Force on a fly * which* wont to Jlall—the first out in nine, Mnlone mado up for it by getting in his sccond safo bit in the inning, \\finvh brought Zettlein totho plate and Cuibbert to third, Meyerle, to make malters worse for the opposing nhino, hit safely for the second timo i the inning, and could huvo takon two buses onsily, hind _ho not been intorested in watehing Malono and Cuthbort got home, which {hey did without any trouble, Dovlin struck to Ucorgo Wright, !umiufi Meyerlo out nt seeund. Petors was flyed by O'Rourke, and tho long half-inning “was ~ ovor, wreatly Lo tho rolief of tho spoctators, many of whom would doubtiess huve hocome pormanontl erazy if tho thing Lad been kopt up mucl longer.

'I'his was tho first wrror tho Whites hnd mude in the gamo, Me- Yey made & iafe hit and brought Spalding to tingd, whenes ho scored whilo Loonsrd waw bolng put out at firnt. O'Ntowrke mado a safe hit, which brought J\XoVu{ homo, Malono was thon guilty of a pansed bull, but it worked no {njury o hils sido, a8 tho two nost striliors woro put ont, luaving the Rods with two unearnod xuns, In tho soyonth {nning, tho Whites wore quickly bisnked, o protty doublo play boing made by Schafar, Loonard, and O'Rourke. The Iteds ‘thom closed up tho gap botweon them aud their oppononts, aud evon got ahead, virtually winning the gamo whilo thero were two innmgs romaining to he played, Behafer begon by mnaking a base-hit,—a linor ovor the third basomun's hend, Ceorge Wright wag then _sent to flrst on wides, for the socond time, when 1t was manifest to Jiundreds that Lo had sevornl fair balls to strike at, and should huve beon doclaved out on ssrikue, Vihite struck to Moyorlo, but the lattor wmude & bad throw to out Georgo Wright off at socond, aud the bnses woro full, A safo hit by Spalding brought Bohiafor in, and a bad throw from Ma- loue to third lot In George Wright, Tho lattor would havo acored auyhow on Leonaid's snfe bLit, which was made after MoVoy hnd boon put out. Cuthbort lot tho balt pass him, and_Whito aud Spalding soored, Leonnrd_ronchod third on O'Rowke's safo hit.

Hall was thon flyed by Outhbert, and Schafor was flelded ont of first by Moyerla, Of tho fivo runs made _but two wero oarned. Tho Whites were blanked in tho elghth mning, no baso-hits belng made, and the Reds added one to thoir score, tho run hulufi oarnod by a tivo-bago hit by Georgo Wright, ani a singlo-baso hit by Spuldflng. Tho scoro_ now stood 11 to 0 in “tho visitors' favor, ond tho Whites hind but ono opportunity loft to retrlova their fortunes and win tho game, Thoy ul.nylod. out with ovory promiso of doing ~it. ‘Tho firat strikor “was Moyorlo, and hio mado his customary safo hit, Dovlin followed him with a long hit to contro flold (or]hlvo basos, which bronght hame an oarned run.

THE BHOOTING TOURNAMENT, Tho first annunl shooting tournament under tho nuspices of the Siato Bportemon's Associn- tion began at Doxtor Park yestorday morning. Ocensional showers during tho forenoon had tha affoctof decrensing tho attondanco, and of de- Inying the commoncemont of operations, though the sun oame out luter on, and & goodly number of sportsmon found their way to the Park bofore tho day was ovor. Tho arrangemonts wero in the bighest degroe satisfnclory, and reflocted oredit upon+ tho oficers of tho Association. Among the many plonsant foaturos of the occaslon was & bountiful snd clegant lunch for the hungry pigeon-poppors in the wppor tloor of the club-house, supplied from the Trausit Ilouso, Tho birds wore of tho undo- mesticatod porsuasion, bard, strong, switt flyors, somo of them ablo to cniry away s mu!msin numbor of leadon bullots bofore thoy foll don out of bounds. Yestordmy’s programma con- eisted of o grand contest for the gold modal given by tho Stato Sportsmen's Association, to bo the perpetual property of the gontleman who shiould succood fn #conng tho largost number of dead birds ; while to the second, third, and fourth bost shots woro to Lo givan, respactivaly, o _ bhandsomo fishing-tackle, by F. T. Abbey &Co,: o huutng-salt, by W. H, Holabird, of Valparaiso, Ind.; nnd a fishing-rod and tackle by Josoph Butler & Co., of Chicaga. ‘Tho torms of tho shooting were that ench con- testant should shoat au ten singlo and ton doubly riges, from H. nud 1% plunge-traps, ut 21 yards riso and 80 yards boundary for the singles, and 18 yardsrico and 1U0 yards boundaty for tho doubles ; 1% ounces of shot ; Associution rnles to govern, Thore were in all fifty-four entrins, all mem- bors of the Aseaciation. 'The mnjority were Chicngo men, though the Stato ot Inrgo was rop- rosentod by such oxcellont shots as Mosers, Doxey, Milier, nnd Young. of Geneseo ; Ely Batos of Ashtou: . N. Sherman, of Beloit, and othors,’ At about half-past 10 o’clock the shooting bogan, tho contestauts being divided into squads of six ench, who shot at thewr twenty birds and then gave place to anothor squad. It was n collection of crack shots which probably could not bo matchod in any Stato in the Union. In the first sqund thore waa n vory protty contest botween Deesrs, Wileox and Willmarth, each of whom killed ton straight singles. When it came to the doublos, Willmarth wusnt a disadvantage, and Wilcox "droppod his five poirs without a miss, thus ecormg o straight twenty, Two of his shots wero vory long and difficult, rodecting crodit not only upon the ekill of the marksmun, but the qunlities of his gun s woll 1t was now a eerious question whether Wilcox's splondid ecore would be tied, nuod all eyes were contored upon John Kloinmunu as the man most likoly to do1t; but John unnccountably missed a downright casy bird, snd thus spoilod his chnncese Thon Henry Kielnman cume to the roscue, and had killed all Lis singles and threo pairs of his donblos, when ho had the bud luck to encountor a balk in the failure of oua of the traps to liborato the bird, Tho traps wore filled again, but he misseds the first bird of his fourth pair, and dropped out of the quostion for the fret prizo, Mr. Whiting was also succesaful in killing ninotoen, though ho missed ono of bis eingles, and conld only” try for o tio witn tha Kleimmans for second prize. ‘Chis ho suceocdod in doing, and thoe tio will bo shot off to-dsy.

THE MORDAUNT DIVORCE-CASE. What the Rritinh Common.-Law Judgen Think of Ity Lrom the New York Sun, It is now a littlo moro than fivo years sinco Sir Chnrlos Mordaunt flad » petition fn iho English Divorco Court for a dissolution of his murriago oo the ground of his wifo's infidohity, moking Viscount Cole and Sir Fredorick Johnstona co« rospondents, Tho social standing of the partien —Lady Mordaunt being o sistor of the celobrat- od bonuty, tho Countoss Dudloy, and daughter of Sir Thomas Moncriofle—nud tho fact that the Princo of Wales wna implicated m tho scandal gavo moro than usual prominoncs to tho caso. Sir Thomns Moncroiffo appearcd as guardian ad Jitem and filed on answer, alleglng that his daughter was not of sound mind \rfinn tho cita- tion wau sorved upon hor, and that she hnd nover slnce boon, and was not 'then, of sound mind. Tho question of the alleged insanity, which has boon sot up a4 a bar to further proceediugs, wng tried before Lord Penznnce and a jury iu 1870, and resulted in s vordict that Lndy Mordaunt wus at tho commoncoment of tho snit and had sinco remained in such mental disordor a3 to be unablo to give instructions for her defense. An ordor was subsequently grantod restraining fur- ther proceedings until Lady Mordsunt should xeoovor hor mental capncity, although tho Lord Cliof Baron dissonted from the opinion. Ou tho npfiunl from this order to the full boneh of the Divorce Court it was sustnined by o majority of tho Judges, tho Lord Chiof Baron, howover, dissonting from the opinion of Lor Penzanco and Mr. Justice Keating, and boing of opinion that the J:mcuudm s should be stayed only for a limited timo, unless the rospondent should in the mean time recovor. From this decision Sir Charles Mordaunt np- poaled to the Housa of Lords, and tho cnse was fully srgued in July last bofore the Law Lords Chelmsford, Hatherly, and Colonesy (since dead), and tho Comuwon Law Judges, Chief Baron Sir Fitzroy Kolloy, Barons Martin_and Pollock, and Justicos Keating, Brett, and Do~ man,_ At tho conclusion of ,tho arguments the Law Lords put the following question to the Judgos: * Whotber, uuder the Act 20 aund 12 Victoria, proccedings for the dissolution of n marrisge can be instituted or proceeded with, cithor ou bebalf or agamst a_wife who, before the proceodings woroe inetituted, has becoma in- ourably o lunatio.” The Jndges on May 16 gave their answor to this question.

His fathor, o conservativo and one of tho best-known mombors of the Carlton Club, in n prominont morchant, and doos s large Enst Indian busincss, His uncle, Mr, Samuds, M. ., nlso of tho Huguonot rofugoes, is known as tho largest shipbuildor on the Thames, and an authority ou the nnvy dobates in Parlinment. It is not gonerally known that Queen Victoris, ng soon as sho heard of the proposed marringo, made inquiries rogarding Mr. Bartoris, and wrote a lotter to the Prosident in which sha con- fidontly indorsod him. This lotter probably aroso from the sincero porgonal attechmeut which tho Queon folt toward Miss Grant, nnd the cotoem eho folt for the Presidont of this Repub- lioin his ofiicial capacity. It 18 hinted by those cognizant of tho situation that tho royal hoart will be moved to some spocial mark of approba~ tion in connoction with this marringo. 1t is bo-~ lioved among Englishmen who know, or affect to know, a little nbout the court, that the Queon will invite the couplo to visit Windsor Cnstlo and confor somo title of nobility upon tho bride- groom. Thore is a confldent baliof that Presi- dent Grant will visit Turopo after his L'rosidens tind torm ; and the iden of iendering him the freedom of tho city in such event ig alroady fa- vorably talked of in'the Loudon clubs.
