BASE-BALL. BEST GAME ON THE CICAUO CLUN RECORD, The alxth game between the Chlcsgo and Loutsvlllo clubs exhibited the home nine fuan entirely new role. They were noted during the early part of the season for playing sharp fickl- ing and falr batting grames, nnd afnes they ar- rlved home fromn thelr Eastern tour they bave wan severnl contests by sharp play with the stick, coupled with coinparativaly loose work In the field, Of this chameler wus the first game with the Loulsvitles Tuesday. Yesterday, how- ever, the Whites not only lmproved thelr bat- ting, but closed up on crrors, and played the Lest game In the ficld which bas ever been re- corded |n ths West. It {s on the books that the Tartford elub hus played two gumes this year on thelr own grounds without a flelding error, ‘The flrst was June 10, when they beat the 8t Louis 7 to 0, and the ¢econd was June 17, when they captured the Loulsvilles by 1 to 0. These were, of course, both In the East, and yester- day’s game was the firstof the kiud ever played In the Weat. The audlence was not up to what It shouid have been to witness such o game; but {twasa falr one, the ruces and al} other things conslder- ed. Spaiding astoulshed himsel( by winning the toss; und Anson disposcd of the first two men by fine throws to McVey, after which Gerhardt aid Alllson hit safely to Jefs feld, but were left by Hustlugs® bounder to Spalding. Fhe remnin- der of the Loulsville fnnings uay be eastly dis- posed of by sayhur that they didn't amount to anything, und as for the batting of the visitors, wiy, thty didn't do uny, The second, fourth, {l5th, slxéh, amd eighth {nnings did not sce a Loulsville batter on'base, In the third Innlyg Hague hit well over Spalding: fn the seventi, Fulmer sent a safe one to lelt field; and In the Tast Allison wns sent to buse on-_called balls,— simply this wid nothing wmore for the bistory of the Loulsvilies' batting, With the home club it was different. They began their sharp hitting {n the frst inning and lccrt it up tothe close of the game, bofng deter- mined, as it seemed, to score in every funing, Barnes led off with n fair-foul for two bsscsy and [t §s just to him to gay that the same plirase hus been written about hin some twenty times this year, Peters hit well to Gerhardt, end was 80 badly mutfed thit he reached fivst In safety, while Burnes took third, MceVey cracked ofie out to centre fleld, letting Barnes hoia and Peters nluan third. After Anson had been retired by Hastings, White sent a nlce one_fnto left fleld” sand took second on slow handing. Hinea made an out, and Spalding cracied a sharp bounder past second, clearing the bases and waking four runs to the good, In tho sec- ond inning Barnes hit a_safo dropper to left centre, and worked round to third on Fulmer's wild throw to Gerhardt to eatels him off thrst un the return of the hall, Peters bit to Gerbaridt to brivg o the rup, and was successful, though he wis himsclf run out on an attempt to pet second. Anson opened the third funing with a sha one pust third, White hit o bounder whic Fulmer took in very easily and sent to Somur- vilie in hopa of & duuble play, but it was muffed at the first station, and both ruuners were safe. Hines camne to the rescue with a splendid high one over Allison's head ,an which he touk see ond, ami Auson scored. ¥palding helped nat- ters essentially by o safe one to right field, and the general dlsorganization of the visitors waa shown by thelr wlowing Glenn und Bleluski to ’Imz 1o lirst on crrors of Gerhardt and Hastings. (e dast-uamed rupuer scored tho flith sud last run of the Inufug while the crrory wevs_belug mude, It was the worst luning that the Louls- vll]l:s‘hlx,wu pluyed thls year, aud no credit to any club, ).L the boglnning of the fourtl inning, Hast- ings sud Susdor clianged pluces, i the Whites seored only” one run, which wus made by Me- Vey, who "took first on o hard bhit past ibird, went to second on u wild piteh, and eame homs on linea’ safc one to left tleld. Biclaski and Barues scored u the ffth lnning, the latter befug muffed by Gerhardt, and gof ting howe on McVey’s falr-foul hit. Wit aloue reaclied the plute in the sixth fn- uing, l.nklnbg s first on u Muor to right ficld, his second on Spalding’s out, and getting howe on Dfoluslki’s bit to left tield, Loters was the lucky man fu the seventh n- ning, taking first on a iair-foul, and being sent home by Anson and White's successtve Lilts to right field. The elzhth foning was of usc to swell the Wiutes' total, Spalding and Biclusk{ leudlug oll with successlve safu ones past second, whils Glenn, more ambitious, hit toleft-centro for two bags, Au out by Barnes and o safe hit by Peters saved all the runs, Nothing was made in tho ninth inning, and the score was left ua follows: TUE BCONE, Chileago— DR B AE Barnes, o 1|20 Peters, I 8 0 McVey, 1b.
