The enmo yras o deelded {mprovement on that of Tueaday, how- ever, the Chlcagos escaping with alx errors, three of them belonging to McVey, while the Hartfords played a perfect game in the fleld. Not more than 1,000 spectators were: presont, there being little expectation of an Interesting ‘dlsplav, Quinn and S8mith mede bad errors ot critical points, each mufiing fiy balls which dropped casily In thelr way. The ‘White Stockings suffered more than disnppoint~ ment in the accldent which prevented lallinan from taking sccond and Iines from taking his proper place in the field, Hallinan reached town this morning, and Immedlately reported to Capt.

The new acquisition led to an fmproved feellng regarding the Whites, and the odds ofs fered wero conslderably Jessened, In the pres Hmigary practice McVey was throwing hot liners to Hallinan, when suddenly the latter shook his haud. It was found that the left index flnger had been bursted open ot tho first . knuckle. At first it was thought the finger was broken, but the surgeon in nttendance sald otherwise, and thought kallinan would be rendy for play agaln 1n a fortnight, *The play began at 8:50, with the Hfartfurds at the bat.” No scoriug was dona uttil the fourth inning, when the Hartfords scenred on carned run on base hits by Start and Curey, asalsted Ly o passed boll by McVey.
