We were doing too well, it seems; we hed won five ont of the last six games we played, and we thought we could dance ri while yet. But we took a drop, and in one fall got down to the level of the games with which wo started off the ecason—fuir bi good, and ingenious mafling when it hurt the most, ‘tat is about the Way sny member of the Chi- og might have talked Jast night, after the de- feat by the Hartfords, The gume was played throughout with greut care to make the error come fu where they would coant the most, and the result is seen in the fact teen total bases on hits for Chicago bro only four runs, while twelve on the other side conuted pine runs. That's all base hits are good | for inascure as showing the merits of a pame. Some time was coneumed before tne game in set- , and the chuice finally fell on Willaw W. Kelly, of whom it may be said that he struzvied bard to be perfectly fair, and bit the It is ont of the que: the losers to find any fault with him, and the win- aera probably don't care about it one way or the other. The game was opened with’a run for each side, Anson scoring for Chicago on a base on bulls, and Peters’ loug hit, while Start got home for Hartford- a thing he could not have done but for anerror by Peters. In the fourth inning, after Caeeidy had bit esfely, Harbidge sent one to Spald- ingand he made a beautifu! stop and throw to Peters at second, but the ball was dropped, and ‘hree rans were made after the side ehould have ‘been out had Peters heid the ball. inuing MeVey bad been pitching, and was quite ‘effective, no runs having been earned off him; out, in consequence of hia lame arm, Bradley took the place in the fifth inning, and only three hits were wade off bim iw the following five innings. inthe sixth inning tne Chicagos became oblivious again, and three runs were scored on one base-hit. Smith started the game by mailing A passed bail, Anson wuffed Start Smith added to the inter- est by muffing Ferguson, and three runs passed the plate. It was one of the most complete innings—of its kind—ever eecn in the West, and only exceeded ‘by the Jast ono in the game. Then, after twohands were out, Peters muffed York, McVey mutfed Cas- sidy, and Smith muffed Harbidge in rapid suc- ‘cession, giving the Hartfords two rans without 2 ‘clean hit. The only comment which can possibly ‘be made on tne exhibition iz, that it ia impo: for any club on the Chicago erounds ever to make showingagain. The three runs which the “home nine accumulated ufter the first inning were eighth on hits by Halinsn, MeVey, and Peters, aidea by crrora by Bur- ‘dock and Carey. The inning closed with a triple y maie on Smith's hit, by Burdock, Start, and mason. The general character of the White Swesing batung and base-ranning reminded the spectator of the firet games of this season. For instance, Anson forced out McVey, and Smith forced out Hines. while the attempts to steal sec- oud continued in the face of the fact that nobody came within a rod of the base. A little better base- running would be acceptable. The only member af the Chicagoe who was up aad fielding was Hallman.

When he became aware that he could get an engagement in Chicago he applied for a re- Tease from hig contract, which wae ut best only a conditional one. The Club (after the munner of ail Philadelphia clubs) owed nim about $300, and could not pay it, in the same way that they have always been unable to pay their debts of Jute years. Notwithstanding this fact, they were for some time unwilling to release him, and equally unwill ing to pay bin At last a compromise was elfected by which Eggler got a straight ‘reicase, and he at once arranged to come on. here, A telegram aud a letter indicate that he left Phila- Gelohia Friday mgbt, and will reach bere this morning.
