- “THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JULY 4, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES. ASE-BALL. Chicago Holds Its Lead of Eleven .in the Championship Contest; Having Now Played Thirty-five Games, and Lost but Three. Boston Vanquished 6 to 1 by the White- Stocking Invincibles Yes- terday. Providence Wins at Cincinnati and Troy at Buffalo—A Draw Between Worcester and Cleveland. TITE CHAMPIONSHIP. Another week has passed without a defeat to dim the lustre of Chicago’s achievements in the championship contest, and the White Stockings still stand eleven games in the van, having lost but three in thirty-five,—a record unequaled by any Club since the League was organized. The fall-down, the go-to-pieces, the demoralization which silly and envious croakers have been predicting ever Since the season began has not come. and there is not only not the least sign of its coming, but searcely a living possibility that it will ever come. THe Timsune has over and over again pointed out the plain fact that the Chicago team of 1880 is not one of the fall-down sort; that its remarkable composition in respect.of a perfect duplica- tion of every vital position renders a repeti- tion of last year’s disasters absolutely impos- sible; and the base-ball prophets of other cities may as well correct their reekonings and start straight. The last tive games played in this city, and the readiness with which teams of the calibre of Worcester and Boston haye been beaten, have taught the patrons of the game in Chicago at least that the home nine is in every respect the superior of any club in the League. They hate no doubt of that, and they can’t now see a possibility of Chicago’s failing to secure the championship, but re- gard it as good as wonalready. This belief only serves to auzment the feeling of local pride and interest in the club’s success, and the largest crowds cf the country regularly turn out here to see the games. In the week just passed Providence has strengthened its hold on second place, now Jeading Cleve- Jand two games; but Providence has now to fuce the prospect of losing three games in Chicago this week, while Cleveland: should have no difficulty in getting at least two eumes from Troy. Worcéster and Boston tackle Buffalo and Cincinnati, and should maintain their standing without much trou- ble.

BOSTON, Nearly 4,000 people took advantage of the National holiday and the beautiful weather- to go over to White-Stocking Park and see the Chicagos rub it in on the Bostons once more, and they enjoyed the game hugely, partly bovaweo-it-avas. virtually -playad by Chicago without an error, because it was a fine exhibition of batting and baserunning on the part of the home team, and because the Bostons, acting .upon the hints given then regarding Friday’s game, mended their ways, and were prompt and exemplary in their conduét on the field, having their bats ready when their turn to strike came, and taking their places in the field without delay. The game was a walk-away for the Chicagés, who batted Bond freely and in a way that compelled errors on the other side; while the Bostons were unable to score more than four safe hits off Corcoran. Tho home team scored their runs mainly off errors by Burdock, Foley, and Jones, though the hit- ting and baserunning were of such a character as io take advantage of every misplay. The Bostons scored but once in the game, that being off a two-bagger by James O’Rourke, who was advanced to third on Jones’ out at first, and was bronght home by Foley’s ter- ritie liner, which Williamson jumped for but could not hold. The ball was one which even Williamson, who is particularly reliable on stingers of this kind, would not hold once in twenty times, and Foley was very prop- erly scored a base hit and his side credited wiih ‘an earned run. For the first three innings the Bostons went out in order. In the sixth a base on balls was given Jim o’Rourke, in the seventh John O’Rourke hit a three-baser | among the new seats in right tield—a ball, by the way, which Gore would probably have caught had not the seats been there; in the eighth, Bfor- rill hit safely. but was doubled up in light- ning style by Burns. Quest, and Anson: and in the ninth Jones, Foley, and Burdock struck out in succession. ‘The brilliant. fielding features were double plays by James O'Rourke and Powers, and Burdock and Foley off flycatches, and by Quest and Anson ona grounder, besides the one just men- tioned. The infielding work was hard on both sides, and the honors were carried off by Sutton, Morrill, Bond, Powers, Quest, Burns, Williamson, and Anson.

Cmicaco, July.2.—The rules of the Base- Ball League seem to be in one particular pected zane of last Thursday was an imposition, 1 think, upon many of its patrons that will not be submitted to with the best of feelings. Iwas one of its victims, buying three tickets at No.3 Madison-street, and getting nothin in retum buta walk to and from the clu grounds, Had they played one inning some satisfaction would have been given, but as rain commenced when the first man went to bat, and game was called soon after the sec- ond took position, I, with many others, think it wrong to push this rule to the letter in this instance; but I am told where 1 bought iy tickets that there is no help for it only to buy more tickets and take the same chances. Iam a ereat admirer of the game, but think I will pass To some other amuseinents. Former Patron. [Itisa rule of the League, and aground rule on all playing-grounds of League clubs; that money shall not be refunded in case of interruption of a game by rain. Conspic- uously and in several places at White-Stock- ing Park are posted notices informing the public that when rain threatens they pur- chase tickets at their own risk; in effect, warning the public that they must be their own judges as to whether to buy tickets or not.« The Chicago management, like every other, is compelled to pay over to the visiting club its share of the receipts, and would, to this'extent, be out of pocket if money were to be refunded to ticket-holders, The im- possibility of devising any plan whereby money can be refunded without subjecting the elub to gross imposition and_ fraud by dishonest persons compelled the League to adopt the rule in question. It works a hard- ship now and again to patrons of the game, but it is not easy to see how it could be avoided.) BALL GOSSIP. The Lord, Stoutenburgh & Co. nine beat the Tolman & King team yesterday 19 to 10. Chicago is more than ever convinced that the White Stockings were robbed out of two games in Baston. They couldn’t have been beaten any other way. There is a clique in the National team against Derby, the change pitcher. When- ever he pitches, balls go safe that ought to be fielded, the design being to prove Derby a failure. A correspondent writes to inquire who is the regular pitcher of the Chicago team. Can’t say. There are two of them—both very “regular” in contributing to the defeat of other clubs. Rain beat Chicago out of a fame last Thursday. But for that we should now have a-lead of twelve games_ instead of eleven. A game not played against the Bos- tons imply a game not won. Buffalo uas apout concluded to release Poorman, who is by far the best pitcher that club ever had. To release him would be a gross blunder. Better release some of the anti-Poorman clique who-have combined to injure his standing. McCormick, Cleveland’s pitcher, is tiring out.. His arm has begun to weaken, and he needs rest frequently. It is to be hoped that this difficulty may be overcome, and one of the best pitchers and ball-players in the League spared for future usefulness. Mr. Bancroft, the Worcester manager, is anxious to handle a team in New York next year. Worcester will stay in the League, ut he prefers New York. We thinks the Chicagos are the coming champions, and that Chicago audiences are of the very best. John Driscoll, pitcher of the Brocton, Mass., Club, has been engaged by, Buffalo. No end of pitchers will help that Club now. They will do better to stick to what they have got, and compel their men to play bail and stop keeping gin-mills and pool-rooms. McLean made a speech to the crowd in Buffalo, and, of course, made a fool of him- self. If he could be Induced to ignore the crowd and keep his temper he would be an excellent umpire. No man who gets red in the face and “ talks back” is a success as an umpire. Said Manager Bancroft to_an Enquirer reporter last week: “ The Worcesters and Chicagos are theonly League clubs that have not yet been whitewashed. But one or the other will_be shut out when we go to Chi- cago, and I am afraid it will not be the Chi- eagos.” It was not. . The alleged “ official”? scorer of whose ab- surdities some of the Eastern papers are making mention is not the scorer of the Chi- cago Club. He occasionally accompanies the team because he feels like it and can afford it, but heis in no way connected with the Chicago Club, and his scores find no publica- tion outside of his own score-book. Cincinnati is in a terrible stew. One of the local papers has declared war on Presi- dent Thorner, and incited some of_the Di- rectors to request him toresign. He very properly refuses, well knowing that the at- tack is incited alone by petty malice, and feeling assured that he is sustained by the club stockholders. The unique genius who does the New York Herala’s base-ball_column finds com- fort in the reflection that Providence is “only eleven”? games behind Chicago. Finding comfort in such a situation shows a degrce of hopefulness most rare and commendable. it's more than Providence can do, however, to extract any consolation froin the fact that they are “only” eleven behind such a party of racehorses as make up the Chicago team. The Cleveland Herald has made up the batting and fielding averages up to July 1, and shows that Hines leads in the matter of - base hits, Iwith Connors second, Burns, Jones, Gore, Dalrymple coming next in the order named, Anson ninth, Kelly sixteenth, Williamson twentieth, Goldsmith twenty- second, and Corcoran twenty-seventh. Quest and Flint are respectively forty-third and fifty-fifth. In the fielding Sullivan leads the first-basemen, Anson being fourth;: Force, the second-basemen and short stops; Will- iumson, the third-basemen; Gore, the field- ers; Idsmith, the pitchers: and Bennett and Bushong, of Worchester, the catchers. a DR. TANNER’S FAST. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New York, July 3.—Since yesterday morn- ing Dr. Tanner has abandoned even the use of water in order that there may be no sus- picion that he has imbibed nutriment through that means. He says that in conse- quence he feels better than he did at this stage in his previous fast of forty-two days. Up to yesterday morning, or during two days and a half, he had taken only fourteen drinks, the usual dose being eight ounces, taking ninety-six ounces of ordinary Croton water without ice altogether. To refresh himself he now gargles his mouth andthroat with two ounces, of water, which is carefully measured out and returned by him for measurement to_ show he has swal- lowed none. After use itis tested for f eign substances with litmus paper. His daily record has been kept by the nineteen phy- sicians that haye watched him,who chronicle every event in his peculiar life ina blotter kept for that purpose. His pulse has varied from eighty to 100, and his temperature has been normal throughout the fast. He daily reaas the papers, and keepsascrap-book at which he spends sume _ time every day asti in -the references to himselt iKithough he does not acknowledge hunger, he says he does ‘feel somewhat empty about the gastric regiui,” | {Mena Krues which, under all the circumstances, is con- sidered not surprising. It is attended with some little throbbing and uneasiness, but when he is reading he does not think any- thing about it. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Whe Eecord for the Weck Just Ended— > Ten Widows Comforted.

CuicsGo, July 8—The recent victory of the American riflemen at Dollymount is an event of deeper significance than is at first sight apparent, and Its full purport can only be comprehended by reference to long-past periods of history. The skill of the old English archers is one of many historical facts which everybody recognizes as 2 general proposition, but very few people at this day have any realizing sense of the power they wielded. We know, generally, that many of the hardest-fought battles of those days were won by the power and skill with which they plied the bow, but comparatively few people are aware how important a part that weapon has played in England’s history, or to what an extent its use was encouraged and en- forced upon the people. For a period of 500 years after the battie of Hastings, which was foughton the 14th of October, 1066, the archers of England con- stituted a national ‘guard, whose skill and elficiency was acknowledged and, feared throughout Europe, and the most Vigilant care was exercised by the Government to maintain the supremacy they had acquired. Every able-bodied man between the ages of 17 and 60 was obliged to have 2 bow of his own length and a certain number of arrows, and to practice habitually in shooting at the butts which were established in every parish days and festive ‘occasions, prize-shoot- .ing was always one ,of the standard sports, and évery effort was used to dignify and ex- ‘ejte an interest in the attainment of an art on which the power and even the very existence of the nation was felt to be largely depend- ent. With the invention of gunpowder, the pro- jectile force of which is entirely independent of the shooter, while the weapons in which it was first used afforded little scope for the ex- ercise of individual skill, the archery meet- ings and prize shootings fell into disuse ex- cept as a mere sport, and the common soldier became a mere hireling armed with a@ weapon possessed of no responsive ower to the exertion of _ skill in its use, which should inspire a feeling of reliance aniounting almost to affection on the part of its owner, but whose execution could only be estimated in the aggregate, and, of course, afforded no evidence of pow- er or skill on the part of the individual. The improvements which have been made in our own day, however, in the construc- tion of the rifle, have wroughta revolution in the use of arms, and awakened a popular spirit hardly Inferior to that of the days of archery, with the substitution of a weapon whose amazing power and efficiency consti- tute such an arm as has never before been wielded in the contests between might and right which comprise so large a portion of the world’s history. Two hundred thonsand volunteers en- rolled themselves in rifle clubs in England. and shooting-matches were inaugurates throughout the Kingdom, sustained and ani- mated by the presence and participation of Royalty and nobility, and the distribution of costly prices., The ancient spirit of the peo- ple seemed to‘have lost none of the vigor it possessed in the days of cloth yard shafts, Nearly twenty years elapsed before the in- fection reached this country, notwithstanding the repeated efforts to introduce it which were made by individuals who appreciated the importance of encouraging a taste for the skillful use of arms. At length a club was organized and began practice at Creed- moor, and in less than two years from the time of _its formation accepted the challenge of the National Association of Great Britain to send a deiegation to England to shoot a match at Wimbledon. No one who was familiar with the history of rifle-shooting in the two countries imagined it possible that the Americans would win; yet every one ad- inired the pluck they showed. in accepting the challenge, and when Col. Bodine’s final shot. on that great’ field was sig- naled a bull’s-eye, and assured the world that Americans had won the day with American breech-loading rifles, it seemed so incredible that most people were inelined to look upon. it as a lucky accident. Of course, the Englishmen were too plucky to yield the field fora single defeat, and the next year they sent a select body of marks- men to New York to compete with our men at Creedmoor, hoping to retrieve their repu- tation. But again they were defeated and obliged to return without the prizes they had hoped to secure. ‘The Americans have since held their ground in several matehes of less importance, and finally were again chal- Jenged toa grand trial at Dollymount, near bin, - ‘The Kingdom wasraked for the best marks- men, and they were subjected to the most rigid training. American arms were pro- eured for English gunsmiths to inspect and improve upon. If any effort were wanting to insure success it was slmply because noth- ing more could be thought of. And the result is another triumph for the Americans. Aclose contest it is true, but for that very reason all the more conclusive as an evi- dence that the utmost elforts of all England can no more close up that little cap; than the utmost efforts of all the rest of Europe could defeat the English .archers eight hundred years ago, and he must have read history in vain who fails to “perceive that this fact has amuch deeper significance than the re- sults of ordinary competitions in athletic sports. Itisin a most important sense an exponent of relative national strength, and it isnot to be expected that the English will yet allow that we have achieved a permanent conquest in the field on which they have never before been beaten. We may expect that she will continue her efforts to retrieve the laurels we have won, ant it behooves us to see to it that we are not lulled'by success into an inactivity which may be fatal to its continnance.

JULY 4, How the Day Will Be Spent in City and Country. By a happy arrangement ot the calendar, the American small boy is at liberty this year to indulgg in fully three days’ noisy celebra- tion of the National anniversary. The prep- arations for it, as must have been evident to even the most preoccupied ‘passer-by, have been making for over a week, and the street- corners have resounded with the shrill cries of the various nuisance-venders as they fiendishly encouraged an already too eager constituency to lay in a stock: of truck which, with proper treatment, will contribute. to the gen- eral noise. The torpedo plain, the torpedo exaggerated, the firecracker of ancient type, the bombshell ordinary, the bombshell with a string and a box of blank cartridges thrown in, and the whole appropriately dubbed “tho little bulldog,” and a dozen other devices of the Evil One, have tempted the aforesaid small boy at his weakest point and precipi- tated the most alarming incursions on the parental pocketbook. The irreligious small boy will begin celebrating at sun-up to-day. In fact, he was at it yesterday and last night, when he had the company of the_hoy who will go to Sunday-schoo! to-day. Tho latter will be atit again bright and early to-morrow morning with the boy who didn’t to _Sunday-school, — but enjoyed himself in the family backyard — or in front of the parental doorstep. It is, per- haps, fortunate, on the, whole, that the Fourth of oily rarely falls on Sunday, for when it does it brings with it certain irregu- larities, the result of which is that one por- tion of the community gets a two-days’ in- dulgence in the pleasures of burnt powder, scorched fingers, and singed eyebrows, while another portion, unmindful of the sacred character of the day, use it like unto Satur- day and Monday, and thus secure three days of unlimited enjoyment. AS FOR THE, UXPATRIOTIC PORTION of the public who are compelled to hear the din and the racket, until desperation drives them forth with the deluston that peace and quiet may be fonnd somewhere on tho footstool, they are of one -mind in cursing the institution in general, and its occurrence on Sunday in particular, Considering the amount of sulphurous pro- fanity to be evolved, it is peculi ny fortu- nate that a Fourth of July'on that day is so much of a rarity. The only regret is that it isn’t more so. But this is a great year. Several conven- tions have been held, the census has been taken, an election looms up in the‘distance, and it is perhaps appropriate to have a Fourth which, in the extent and duration of the noisy enthusiasm evoked, shall be some- what up to the times. That it will be such, in Chicago at least, is a fact which must be patent to everybody. Yesterday ushered in. To-day’s noise will only. serve asa reminder that it is still here. ‘To-mor- row will bring on the crisis, and some will have enough unused patriotism and powder to finish off with ‘Tuesday morning. The day will have its usual attractions out- side of the perpetual cannonade which dis- tinguishes it from every other day in the year. In the first place, NOBODY WILL PRETEND TO DO ANY BUSINESS, except, of course, the saloonkeepers, the lem- onade inerchants on_the side-walks, the res- taurants. and the fireworks venders. The deral and State. the city and coun- , the banks, the Board of Trade, the ice, and business houses generally will be closed, locked, and barred. That done, the great public will proceed: to spend the day as pleases. Some _ will go to the theatres, others to the races, still others will jump on the cars and get as far away as possible, more will take to the lake and the excursions it offers, and others will fet out among the suburbs, in one way and another, some in search of a quiet spot which they are doomed not to find, and some with the avowed purpose of witnessing a suburban celebration. ‘The lake, as usual, will be the favorit route to the regions of less noise, less 1 discomfort. The mnake six regular trips to Evanston, leaving the dock at the foot of Michigan avenue at 9, 10:30, 12, 1:30, 3, and 4:30 o'clock. The City of Duluth will leave the docks at No. 74 Market street, and the Flora will steam out from Clark street bridge ai 10, 2, and 8o’clock, In these days of accidents on the water, of overcrowded steamers and the like, it would be just as well if the lake mariners hereabout would heed the lessons of the past few weeks und govern themselves | accordingly. The theatres will run both afternoon and evening. “Fatinitza,” by the Mahn company, will be presented, at McVicker’s, and George Holland and company will appear at Hooley’s in ‘Our Gentlemen Friends.” “ An Arabian Night” will be given at Haverly’s in the af- ternoon, and ‘The Royal Middy,” for the first time in this city, in the evening. With such attractive bills as these the theatres will hardy suffer.* A GOOD DEAL OF CELEBRATING will be done in the suburbs. It is possible to go further and say that a vast deal of weak Jemonade will be indulged in at extra rates, while powerful aids to dyspepsia in the shape of alleged lunches will claim their victtins. Ridgeland will formally dedicate a new school-house, and a few speeches will be sandwiched in by way of novelty and variety. The Sixth Battalion will be split up in its attentions to Wilmington, Joliet, and Syca- more. Lake Geneva will celebrate at great length with her street display, athlelicsporis; fireworks, balls, and an oration by B. N. Smith, of Woodstock. Ravenswood and Glencoe will do it ona somewhat smaller seaie, but with hardly less enthusiasm.—that is to say, noise—and Austin will fall into jine with a procession, an orator, and a gorgeous display of fireworks in the even- ing on the ball-grounds. The Communists will make a day of it to- morrow, with their armed procession tramp- ing through the streets and their picnic at that sterile and unattractive spot known as Ogden’s Grove, At last accow Goy. Cul- mn he gave Jom had not revoked the permi: them some time ngo to carry their guns, and the streets will echo to the tread of the armed forces of the Commune, glorious in their fuss, feathers, and show. ————___$§_ NEW YORK CANAL BUSINESS.

Mayer declined to yield, basing his refusal upon the ground that Sinith’s naine was sent to the Senate and not confirmed, and that the Presivent has no right to appoint him, and that he (Mayer) can hold until the Senate again meets and an- other name is sent in. ————— Boston Baked Beans. Itis becoming more and more probable that the permanent fame of Boston will depend on “ Buuker Hill and Baked Beans.” It is estimat- ed that 90 barrels a week, or 10,000 barrels a Year, are consumed in the New-EnglandCapital. Saturday night and Sunday morning are the chosen times for cating them. There are few Boston bikers who do not put from one to five barrels of beans to soak on Friday night, and one buker on being asked why baked beans were not us popular in New York as in Bostou replied: “Because they do not know how to cook them, They don't Soak them enough, they boil them much, and then tuke them out of the oven before they are half baked.” ———— A“ Pretty” Fight.

Buffalo Express: A dispatch was received on Tuesday atternoon by Capt. B. P. Dorr from Port Colborne stating.that the Canadian schoon- er Lilly Hamilton was in a sinking condition at ‘Thorold, having struck a rock near Port Robin- son, She had six feet of water in her hold, but they succeeded in finding and stopping the leak, und got steam-pumps to work at herand pumped her dry. She was loaded with corn for Kingston, on which the Phenix Insurance Company hold 2, risk amounting to $0,800. Capt. John Kice, Ma- rine Inspector for the Company, bus gone to ‘Thorold to look after their intorests. The Ham- ilton was built about six years ago at_Port Bur- well, and is owned there by Messrs. Youell and others. She rates A2% on the Inland Lloyds, and is valued at about $16,000. As she met with the accident about the same place where the Albatross cume to grief some weeksugo, it is not impossible that the old Guard Lock abutment, as in the case of the Albatross, was the cause of the mishap.

Well INDIANA OUTRAGE. ‘Tp the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Crown Pornt, Ind., June 29.—The de cision of the Supreme Court overthrowing the constitutional amendments, and placing Indiana in the list of October States, has created a feeling of indignation that will make itself felt in the October elections. To aid the not bright prospects of Gov. Hen- dricks for the Presidential nomination, the Supreme Court, by their par’ action, seen fit tosubject the State to a direct pecu- niary Joss of over $130,000 this year alone, The October election expenses will not be Jess than $100,000, and the expenses of submitting the amendments will reach if they do not exceed $30,000. This, with- out taking into account the incidental loss in the loss of the amendments in regard to the salaries of county officers and that limiting the indebtedness of corporations. ‘This will be an exceedingly bitter bill for our hard-working farmers, who now com- piain of high taxes. I have no doubt many of our Democratic friends will ‘thin! that even the nomination of Indiana’s favorit son would be too dear a purchase at the igures. The reasons by which the Court Sustains this unlooked for’ decision are too fallacious and too bitterly partisan to cover up the real motives. They read more like the special pleadings of a hired attorney than the calm conclusion of a_ court of justice. The Democratic party by this decision have in effect declared that with an honest election in November they - had no chance of carrying the State. They” | must have the fraudulent vote of Kentucky or they are beaten, and their desperate ap peal tothe Supreme Court to overthrow the amendment has been fully answered. Asai effort to boom Gov. Hendricks in the nomi- nation it will doubtless fail. It remains to beseen whether they can import enough Yotes into the State to overcome the honest Republican majority and the loss which will result to the party from the honester portion ot the Democracy. We do not think they can do it.. The Greenback craze has about spent its force, and now hurts the Demo- eratic party more than it does us. The mass of Republican Greenbackers have re turned to the party under the influence of: the workings of resumption and the return of better times, a The nomination of Gen. Garfield has given us a united party, and we gointo the com flict with an enthusiasm that in itself is 3 arantee of success. The north end of the tate will do its full duty in redeeming the State, and we are confident that we can suc- ceed, ‘Loyal men should govern the pre- served Republic” is the battle-cry with which to go into the conflict against the Rebel Brigadiers and their Northern allies. We cannot afford to give the destiny of the Na- tion into the hands of the Rebel States, which would be the result of a Democratic triamph. C.C.S.
