It was re- sorved for the Brown Logs not only to deleat the Chicagos, bat to givo them TIHE MOST THOROUOR DRUBNING eince their organization, the score showing the remarkablo figures of 10 to 0 in faver of Si. Louis, Tho gbmo excited & vast amount of intoreat lioro, and, for the past two or three days, has been o promiuont toplo of conversa- tlon in slmoat every clrcle. 1t was Jooked upon, in a measure, 88 tho most notable event of tha soason, and tho usual rivalry botween Clilcago snd Bt. Louls in almost ovorything has added much to the local oxcitomont, and lent a doclded 2ent 40 tho oxpoctations indulged. But the most saoguine 8t, Louisian nevor droamed of such an overmhelming victory as his pot Brown Lega have schloved. On “tbhe conirary, as the time of the game approached, muoh of the vainglorious bonsting gavo way to doubts, and thore wore found but few who would back thelr faith in the 8t. Louis Club with monoy, and in the pool-solling tho Chicagos hiad the call at 100 to 80. The game was o romarkablo onoin many respocts, It domonstrates, uuless it can bo claimed that the Chicagos atruck an oxcep- tional paroxysm of wretchedly woak batting, that BOADLEY, TIE &T, LOUIS PITORYR, bas nob boen overestimated, It appears that he and Millor copstitnte the main strength of the Club, Thoy are not supported by o first-class flold, but, if thar work . of to-day is a criterion, they do not noed one. The fleld wero called upon to do but tho easiest kind of play, to stop weak *‘ bunts," catch puny fly balla and fouls, and scarcely & ball was struck that would bother an ordinary playor. Dradloy's piteblng is very poouliar, It is an underhaoded turow, and the ball Is deliverod with a mort of Jerk, which puzzled the Whites terribly. Their batting was of tho wenkest and most wrotohed doscription. Scarcoly a ball was struck {nto the out-fleld. Doth ninos felded woll. The un- sccountalle weakness of the Whites at the bat slone lost thom the gamo, TUE GANE took placo on the groundaof the 8t.
