Berrato, N. ¥., July 16.—The game to- day between the champions and Butfalos was witnessed by 2,000 people, and, as an exhibi- ‘tion of terrific batting, has seldom been equaled, it was literally a battle between ginnts, and the audience was thoroughly en- sthusiastic from first to last. .

Flinv’s support was perfect, ‘and is conceded to be the dest seen here this season. At the bat Rowe, Richardson, ‘Brouthers, and Gore carried off the honors with magnificent three-basers, while in the field both clubs did fair work. The um- spiring was very bad, and, while the visitors were favored whole, both clubs “suffered from Powers’ wretched attempt. “The Buffalus won the toss and sent the Visitors to the bat. Dalrymple hit safe, tool second on 2 Wild pitch; third ona passed ball, and home on Foley's muff. Kelly hit safe, stole second, third on a wild throw of White, and home on Anson’s sacrifice.

THE CHAMPIONSTIITP. ‘The past week has been one of peculiar in- terést by reason of the first encounter of the two - leading clubs, the Chicagos and Butfalos. ‘Lhe champions left home with a lead of seven games, which has now been reduced to- six. A week ago Cleveland and Worcester were a tie for fourth, and the end of the week sees them joined by Troy, the three clubs now being on even terms in games won. Detroit holds third position, with twenty-three games to its credit. Provi-, dence occupies seventh, with Boston bring ing up the rear. ‘The champions play two more games in Buffalo and then go to De- troit fur a week, and their play and its re- sults will be watched with much interest by their friends at home. At the close of yes- ‘terday’s contests the standing of the various clubs was as follow: paves, 5 5 et | toot rating La satan Games lost... THE CHICAGO CLUB. In the tabulated statement below will be found some figures of interest relative to the work. done by the different players of the Chicago Club in the twenty-seven games played in this city. In this showing is in- cluded an item not commonly found in club recurds—viz.: the number of runs batted in by each player. In making up this column reference has been had to runs resulting from every time at bat, and without regard to the test of perfect fielding on the opposing side. For instance, if Anson when at bat, with three men on bases, makes a hit wl allows three runs to be scored. he is credited with three runs batted in, no matter -whether the ball was cleanly fielded or not, Ifa grounder be fumbled, or a tly misjudged or muffed, the batsman is credited with the resulting runs. It will be seen that as heretofore, leads in the matter of v batting, though Williamson is not far be- hind, and both Gore and Burns make a good i however, has had some he others did not enjoy— those of following good batsmen and base- such as Kelly, Dalrymple, and Gore. Still, it is not to be denied that “the old an extaordinary faculty of hitting safe when there are tallies to be made by it Among the surprises of the season is the re- markable improvement in the batting ot Flint, who, from being almost at the foot of the League list last year, has advanced to very near the topalready. ‘The added five feet to the pitcher’s range has evidently en- abled “Silver”? to find the ball. Another item f interest, haying relation to the question of is the fact that Gore has made one more run than he has_ base-hits,—an achievement which is probably not wmatched by the record of any other player in the League. The figures throughout the twenty- wevels games played in Chicago are as fol- jow: 0} base-running, PLAYERS, pallid wate QO, WD Rat, T, WHAT CONSTITUTES A BALK. The President of a base-ball organization at Dixon, Ill, submits the following commu- nication Dixos, Il, July .—We would like to have your opinion on ove point which bas caused us Some trouble.

GOSSIP OF THE GAME. » Worcester won two games out of the twelve played on its Western trip. ‘The four Western clubs have captured the first four positions in the race. Brown, late first baseinan of the Detroits, is playing with an amateur club at Auburn, The Oakwood Base-Ball Club last week de- feated the Union Bay & Paper Coumpany’s nine by 2 score of 7 to 4. The Detroit Club has fared finely in the matter of patronage, and his a clever balance in its treasury. Glad of it Will White, who was with the Detroits for amonth, and did dis best work in tending ts murnsille; is pitching for the Cincinnati nb.

ANOTHER COMET. ROCHESTER, N.Y." Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Rocuesren, N. Y., July 16.—At 4 o’clock this morning Dr. Lewis Swift, Director of Warner’s Observatory, announced tne dis- covery of an entirely new comet. Yesterday he received a letter from Prof. J. M. Schae- berle, of Aun Arbor; Mich., stating that the latter had just discovered a new celestial visitor, described by him as follows: wv Arnon, Mich., July H—5. a, in.—Prof. Lewis Swift: This morning, 3 o'clock, came ucross nebulous matter, right ascension 5 bh. 48 m., and declination north 38 degrees 43 minutes. Approaching daylight prevented any observations for determining the motion if any. Please do not make this communication public unless the object should prove to. be a comet, in which case will you please present wy claims fur $200 to Mr. Warner? J. L. SCHAEBERLE. Dr. Swift spent last night searching for the new heavenly body, and at 30’clock, on close s tellation of Auriga, was of the comet in above quaintinee, Which, by the ‘a quite positive is the comet of 1812, was moving very slowly northeast. is, for a telescopic comet, quite bright, being larger and more luminous than the one which he recently discovered with the naked eye. ‘The comet appeared to have a ‘y stroug condensation, and must, from its slowness of motion, be moving cither direct- ly towards our planet or straight away from it. Director Swift says the astronomers have been burnishing their object-glasses for Encke’s comet, which appears every three and three-tenths years. ‘This comet is ex: pected to show up in the old constellation of the Fly the latter part of this month. Itmay or may not havea tail. He says the new comet is moving slowly northwest, not northeast, as erroneously stuted, and can be found at 3 a, m. near Co- constellation Auriga, by the aid aglass. Ife thinks this comet mike its perilielion, and may be- come visible to the naked eye, and be'very briliant. To-night he expects to make 2 valuable observation if the sky be clear, It has been overcast here for two weeks. ANN ARBOR, MICH. Special Disvatch to The Chicago Tribune. AN: or, Mich., July 16.—J.
