Getzen’s work was very ineffective, the Hoos jers hitting him 11 times. The champions bit Shreve 8 times. The errors were 6 by I to 8 by Detroit. Pittsburg barely escaped a shut-out at the nands ot the Chicago team, making one run in the seventh inning, while their opponents added score to score until they had piled up nine. Morris was ood sport for Chicago, twelve bits being made off mm. This caused the’ victory, as the home team could do but little with Van Haltren.
