The past week has wrought many changes fn the standing of the different clubs in the League champlonship contest. Three con- secutive victories. at Providence and one at Boston have brought the Chicagos squarely to the front onee more, with a lead of two games over Buffalo; while Worcester is now third, Detroit fourth, Cleveland fifth, Be ston and Providence a tle fur sixth, and Troy but pne game behind both of them. This week will finish up Chicago’s first Eastern trip, there being but one more game to play at Boston, and then the Club comes home to meet Providence here next Friday, Saturday, od the following Monday; Troy, Boston, nd Worcester following in the order indi- cated. About this time look out for squalls on the championship weather chart. Guitalo has been flying its Kite very hish—higher than it can keep on doing, in all probability; while both Cleveland and Troy are due for some stronger play than they have averaged thus far. Troy has pulled up remarkably within the past three weeks, and has the material to Keep on doing it; and Cleveland stock may be — expected to take an upturn. It is also about time for Worcester to rally, and if Detroit can keep up anything like the standard of play shown in the past month her position ought to steadily improve. Chicago has twelve games 10 play on its home grounds, and can be safe- dy relied upon to hold her own. In any event the situation is extremely interesting, and bids fair to remain so up to the close of ‘the playing season. The record at the close of yesterday's play w: follows: snstettarte | CHICAGO BOSTON. Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Zrivsn Bosrox, Mass., June 18.—The Chicagos were outbatted and outfielded by the Bostons to-day, yet won the game by superior bases running and bunching their hits in the sixth inning. The visitors were first to the bat, and it the first four Innings they were retired with no runs and but tree safe hits, In the fifth Corcoran was given his base by Fox, se- cured second on a poor throw of Snyder's, and scored on Quest's two-bagser close to the right foukline. In the sixth they gauged Fox’s delivery, and singles by Dalrymple, Gore, Anson, Williamson, and Gurr in three earned runs being made, Dairy being the first man out at the home plate by Barnes, and Flint and . Quest. stri out In the ninth Corcoran’s two-baser, ® wild pitch, and Quest’s single brought {none run more. In the meantime the Bos- tons, though batting hard, were meeting with badiuck in not batting safely when men were on bases. Singles by Fox and Burdock, anda passed ball, enabled the former to keore the only run for his side in the game. Three times the home team had men on sec- pond and third bases at the saine time, but they were left. The fielding of Williamson and Quest, Burdock and Sutton, and the batting of Quest aud Burdock were the best features of the game. Eighteen hundred and fifty-six people were present.

The Clevelands opened very badly, Nolan having two wild pitches, making a gift of a base on balis, and Keunedy having a passed ball in the first inning, which, with the help of base-bits by Stovey, Hotaling, aud Irwin, brought in three runs, only one of which was earned. In the second the Worcesters made another unearned run on an error by Nolan and Stovey’s two-bagger. The lust run was earned after two-men were out, by Carpen- tez’s single and Corey's two-bagger.

Ever sinee the Boston team got a game snatched away from them in Chicago which they felt sure of winning, there has been an enermous amount of unnecessary and child- ish “kicking” in the cityof the red-legs against the Chicago Club, and more particu- Jarly Kelly; who seored the winuing run on the occasion referred to. Kelly is accused of allinanner of monstrosities in the way of conduct and deportment,—such as entting across the diamond to get in his run, shout- ing at players on the opposit side when they are running after fly balls, calling for the wrong man to take a ball in order to confuse ,and alot of other things she never did. It is true which, of cours that in his eagerness to score the deciding tally Kelly forgot to touch third base on his way home from second, and that the ‘umpire, whose attention was centred on a put-out at first base, failed to notice the omission, and 2l- lowed the run to be scored. No player, how- ever, should be blamed for too much zeal in his endeavor to win; thatis a fault on the right side, and one easily forgiven, ept by the defeated club and the short side in’ the betting. But it is perfectly certain, that neither Kelly nor anyother member of the Chicago lean is in the habit of conducting himself in a manner to warrant this sort of a pareerapl, which recently appeared in the Buston Herald: Next Friday (Bunker Till Day) the Chicagos and Bostons will meet for the firsttime in this city this season, A word to Mr.. Kelly: The Bostou-Chicazo games in Boston must” be played and won on their merits. No repetition Chicago will be toter- ated; no contempuble trickery will be submit- ted to. The rule probibiting rowdyism on the ball-erounds applies to players as well as to ors, and will be entureed. tention exclusively to the restraint of, rowdy- sim and disreputable conduct in its own team, as Wituess the tollowing letter: To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Watnam, Mass e 15.—I've read in al- morning's Boston Jferald. for tho past few weeks slurs at the Chicugo Ball Club, and at Kelly gnd Anson in particular. They hike to keep that run of Kelly's from second base, straucht (?) across the dimond, standing, 028 10 have him abused Friday when he plays. We think that is too much exaggerated. Then they published that he yelled at the players in the Worcester nine last Week in that city to try and confuse them so they would muff the ball. 1 cun’t see bow the home nine would allow aoy- thing like that to occur (if it did oecur at all), But the Boston papers don't say anything about Burdoek's not playing. ¥ more than that he had sprained his agkle while at prictice in the morning. The truth is, he sprained bis head and stomach with bad rum, and was unable to play, and during the game be was the’ noisiest and drunkest man 1 ever saw on a ball-field, and ['ve_ seen juts of playing in Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Mitwaukee, and — Philudelphia. He was offering to bet $10 to $$ on the Bostous, with no takers, and, after he had called up Whitney and Fox and tola them how to_ pi: win, he ‘came buck and wanted to bet 10 to #4 with me (so I'm sure of what I'm writing) that the Bostons would win. Snyder had hard work taking care of him and keeping him from bet- tin; Me would call to the players and annoy them So much that the umnpire—Doescber—had to tell him te keep quiet, but he paid no xttention to him until he called * time,” and went to him and with his cane put him out of the tletd allotted to the players. Yours truly. Sam Cunistir. Aword of advice to Boston: Keep cool, and don’t get rattled because your club it if you do, youll have more than you neonvenienty attend to. The Chi team, whether playing here or in Boston, will put nearly as much money into your elub- treasury (and Heaven knows it’s needed) as al the rest of the League teams combined, Sotake things easy, and you'll be just as lappy and a great deal more respected, GOSSIP OF TIE GAME.

Spalding & Bros, have just issued a neat publication entitled“ Spalding's Manual of Boxing, Club-Swinging, and Duiib-Bell Ex- ere: Jt was prepared by George 1. Ben- edict, of this city, champion club-swinger of America, and will doubtless be accepted as a standard work, A very singular contest took place at New Orleans, La., on April 4, 1880, when. five Northern professionals succeeded in defeat- ing the colored professional nine of that elty by a score of Ivtos, Keefe pitched, Bennett caught, Sullivan played first-base, and Creamer and Wood were intrusted with the onerous task of filling the other six positions. Jiarry Wright refused to take Bradley as Wwuprre previous to Thursday's contest, and claimed that he would rather forfeit the sane than play. He was given the privilege of so doing, as Manager O'Rourke would not change. ‘This comes’ rather badly from the Venerable Harry. “When the club was in this city O'Rourke did not like Jeffers’ um- piring, as he refused to call down Whitney when he was throwing from the shoulder, and he spoke to Wright about it. But no, the veteran replied that the Canadian was good enough for him.—Buffalo Express. Ball players are very prone to make use of injured fingers and bruised legs as long as possible to cover up weaknessesin the field or atthe bat. Clever stories are told of vari- ous professionals who have been caught in this practice. One of the richest is that of which George Wrignt is the hero. It seems that on one oceasion in the dark and trouble- soine days of the National game, George hurt one of-his Knees. He clung to that injured member for syme time for the purpose of retaining the sympathies of the spectators, until one afternoon the nursing leaked out. He had “been” wearing a” rubber bandage around the knee, and previous to a certain game he placed the cover over the wrong knee, and through the contest went limping around on that lez. ‘The other members of the team noticed that he had transferred his favoring in his movements to the other knec, butsaid nothing until the game was con- eluded and they were dressing in their house. ‘Then, to George's consternation, he discov- ered his fatal mistake. What followed need not be given to the sympathizing public.— Buffalo Express. The Worcester Spy says: “ Irwin has been suspended at his own Teauest until such time as he regains his confidence, health, and for- mer playing ability. Cory will take his place in the ame to-ds For some reason Irwin's playing since the seepnd game in Chicago has been but little better than would be ex- pected from an athatcur, error following error until the spectators have begun to look him. ‘The stury is curre: for his rel but that is the young man yesterday's game in Ch oll, my little man, what can w you?” sald we asa young freekled- tepped up to the desk with his hat nd. “Is th you put your nthe paper’ inquired he, shyly. nthe yoeer, here.

Mr. Black said that he bel his Association hud the sympathy of salvon- keepers, and that their only object was to pro- tect the young.. They thought 1,000 licensed saloons would be abundant.

Their Slices Are Thin but Appetizing, and Customers and Proprietors Alike Are Satistied~ In search of information, but not of deer, a ‘TRIBUNE reporter yesterday dived into a beer- siloon on Madison street, and inquired of the proprietor: “ What on carth is a ‘lunch-cutter'?” The proprictor Inughed as be answered, sen. tentiously, with the unsatisfuctory deflaition, ‘A luneb-cutter is a man who cuts up lunches,” “So should suppose; but do. you mean to say that the free-luneh bas gotten to be such an « Institution that special carvers have to be em. ployed in its preparation?” - “As a general rule, noz but in some cases, in the places where a speci! effort is made to set u irge lunch,—decidedly yes.

Lama practical carver myself, and know just how this ‘is. You want to cut the meat go as tv zct nice thin slices, such. ug tempt the appetite. Americans, asa rule, have fecided objections | to x thick | slice - of meat, and anything that approaches the * hunk? in form is absolutely abborred. A keeper of a restaurant where I was dining the other day, on. my asking him how be wus setting: along, sald~ with considerable pride, thut he was cutting up FIVE ROASTS A DAY z fordinner. [told him that I would undertake to serve his dally run of customers, and have them all well satistied, upon only two roasts a « He scouted the idea, and, just to prove wu I was right, I took his pluce the next day at noon. He bad had three roasts eouk2d, in osdee to make sure, but when the dinner was over the third one was untouched, and the same tun of customers who had demolished tive roasts the day before had gone away bappy. Some of tnem, he acknowledvzed, a3 they settled for thoir checks, remarked that the beef that day had been particularly good. Now, my friend, the - restaurant keeper, was’ very clumsy with the knife, and be tacked that keen appreciation of how to make a slice look tempt- ing which a curver ought always to possess. 7 showed him that his bunks, cut at ull sorts of angles to tho grain of the meat, were not only distasteful tu his patrons. but unprofitable to himself. Instead ct one of them, [ cut for each customer two thin slices, which, spread out upon the plate, scemed’to be ‘much more, though it was in'reality less, than he had been giving. With dull knives—almostall restaurant knives are duil—the ‘hunk’ cutup with such difficulty that the customer believed he was eating tough meat. The same knife, however, went throuzh the thin slice with ease, the tender character of the meut was established, and the separated morsel was rolled around the fork and eaten with pleasure, And when the meal was over, it wis found that the quan- tity of refuse meat which bad been gathered into the waste amounted to next to nothing. ‘The customers had eaten it all, and enjoyed it.” “How docs this artistic carving apply to the Iree-lunch counter 7” “Even the cutting-up of ‘cheese and sand- can be done in such a way as to be par- ly pleasing to the consumer, and profitable to the provider. Haven't you remarked how evenly the squares of cheese are divided in a el roodueiet beer-saluon of the lurger size; ow WAFER-LIKE IS THE SLICE OF SAUSAGE} and don’t you feel that it is a greater pleasure to eut them in that shupe than it they were backed about into all sorts of forms and dimensions, as you sometimes tind them ?” The reporter acknowledged that he did, but at the game time be did not see how it was neces- sary to hire a special man for the purpose. ou have no idea of the extent of the patronage which one ot these larger lunch- counters receives. In some of them, the lunch- cutter, at certain hours of the day, is keptas busy ashe can be supplying the bands that are stretched out to him with twin slices of bread ta be filled with meat. It would never pay to have aman there who did not understand his business thoroughly. A novice would nave the round cut up—very badly cut up, too—hefore half the customers were satisticd.”” “Then I suppose the lunch-cutter is a toler- ably well-paid individual?” ie “No, Lam atrnid not. Ife does not,‘is a rule, earn a3 much money as his ability would wai rant. He is generally a carver who has proved, for some reason or other, unreliable ina steady posidon, and tending the iunch-counter is his first step downwards. He well earns all the money he gets, which never runs more than $10 a week, as he is obliged to stand up to bis work from morning to night, the middle hours: of the day giving him a particularly trying seuson. Tr will Unus be seen that the artist in all lines of business, from the painter of great pictures down to the expert in rendering appetizing cer- tain slices of meat, can be carried from his high estate bya lack of stendy purpose, and forced into asphere of usefulness utterly repungant to one of bis culture and artistic resources. es A Severe Criticism on Gen. Sherman— Suppressing the Army Societies. : Cincinnati Gazette. How long can the societies of the armies of the War continue under Geo. Sberman's prac- tice of turning them to his own purposes? He appeurs to think these societies of the same use 43 war-history—namely: to increase him and dininish all others. Tho lust meeting of the Society of the Army of the ‘Tennessee he turned to bis personal use in another effort to reverse the judgment of history that he was disgrace- fully surprised at Pittsburg Landing. His dis- sertation on that, which was not at all a history, and which gave no new light, but only more ob scuration, occupied much of the time of the tulking-mectings, and most of, the Associated Press reports. He is President of this Society, and a3 his custom is, he took advantage of his place. Ile was @ guest at the meeting of the Society ot the Army of the Potomac, but he abused that also by disputing Jefferson Davis’ remarks about him. Tnis occupied all the Associated Press reports, and crowded out tho doings and expressions of the members of the Society. If his object were to sit down on the Society meet inus, bis course would be most effective to bis end.” He also abused the courtesy of the Society most outrageously by commending as veritable history Badeau's book, which reflectson the capacity of every commanding ofticerin the <\rmny of the Potomac, to show that Grant alone was perfect and great. Modesty docs not seem to be a quality assocl+ ated with heroism in these days. A book de- voted to magnifying Grant and Sherman at the expense of all other officers save Sheridan, ap- pears ou the authority of Grant, and Gen. Sher- idan gets-up before the Society of the Army of tho Potomac, of which he is a guest, and praises this as veritable history, which reflects on all tha distinguished officers of their Socicty. In thie course it will be necessary for otlicers who de- sire to maintain self-respect to withdraw from these societies, as they will, That part of Ba- deau's supposititous history which relates to Grantend the army of the Potomac had ap- peared too recently to be read by the officers there present, or Gen, Sherman’s Indorsement would not have gone unchallenged. ————— Refunding.
