Quest’s fly was then missed by Harbidge, bat he was forced at second on Start’s bit. Just bere, with two out, some baiting was done, Peters, Shaffer, and Hankinson making singles and Anson a two-baser. The result was five runs. - In the seventh the White Stockings again batted sharply, Peters and Shaffer hitti sor singles, Anson for two bases, and Lar for three. The latter's bit was one of the lov est ever made on the eround, and only the best fieldinte preventea its being a home run. The opposition opened their game very au- spitiously.
