GOSSIP OF THE KATIOXAL GAME.
No matter how the fates may deal with
Captain Adrian C Anson in the startofl" of
the baseball season, he
is sure to make his
appearance right side
up before the great
argument has proceed
ed very far. Time and
experience have made
him a stayer from the
word go, and it is just
at times when cranks,
fans and other char
acters in baseball think him down, and for
all that he looms up with material that the
world cannot very well excel. It was just
the other day that the general opinion had
him and his Colts out of the hunt and to
day probably everybody interested in the
national game will be thinking tiiat his
chances for the pennant are very good.
Always a Dangerous Lot.
The Chicago chieftain always brings a
tribe of dembns to this city, and his first
visit here this season is no exception. He
landed at Exposition Park yesterday after
noon with just as clean a cut nine as there
has been in this city for a Ion? time.
Those who think that "he and his Colts are
merely in the business to make up the
requisite number of clubs will be sadly mis
taken. Adrian is in the League as of yore
to do business, and it is sale to bet that he
will do it before the season is over.
The weather yesterday was the finest
there has been here this season during a
ball same, and, despite the big attraction of
the circus, there were about J.uuu people
present. The commencement of the came
was delayed for 15 minutes to give the
circus patrons a chance to see the game. A
great many embraced the chance, and they
would not regret it, if good ball playing
was what they wanted to see.
The game was very well played indeed.
Both B.ildwin and Hutchinson pitched in
splendid form. Mark pitched well enough
to win a game nine times out often, but his
colleagues failed to get their eye on the
ball at the right time, and that was the
entire cause ot trouble. There is often good
reason lor complaining about a defeat, but
nobody can reasonably get into a grumbling
mood about yesterday's game. The fates
were against the home team from the start.
,Thev reallv played well, with the exception
of Elnier Smith, and they hit the ball hard,
indeed, very hard, but it availed little or
nothing.
Luck Dead Acalnst Them.
Time and time again terrific drives were
banged out, and the ball either went straight
into a fielder's hands, or, if it was a
grounder, it toot: the most lncky bounds
and a fielder couldn't tail to get it Such
thines occur in baseball and they cer
tainly occurred yesterday. "With just a
little good fortune on. their side the home
piayers would have won the contest. On
the other hand, the visitors got their big
hits in exactly where they counted most,
and that settled the matter. Altogether the
game was a good one and one that patrons
ol the sport would enjoy. The general
work of both sides was extremelv good, the
visitors playing without a fielding error.
Of course Anson was cheered when he
marched on to the field.
The visitors were the first to score, and a
really clean score it was. In the second
halt of the first inning, after two men were
out. Evan walked leisurely to the plate,
and the first ball pitched to him he nailed
it square, and it went flying to the right
center fence, and Mr. Evan got home witli
something to spare. In the first halt of the
inning Shugart nearly accomplished what
Kyan did.
Tho Big nit Didn't Count.
The former made a three-bagger with two
men out, but JFarrell struck out and "Snug"
was left.
But in the second inning the home play
ers got down to better work. After two
men were out Pop Corkhill banged out a
three-bagger, and this was followed by a
double by Mack. Pop scored, of course.
Baldwin sent a grounder to Cooney, who
tumbled the ball long enough to allow Bald
win to reach first. Mack foolishly left third
base to try and make home, but he had no
bhow whatever to score, and was run down
between the bases. After this the home
team never looked much like scoring.
In the second half of the iourth inning
Dungan led oH with a single, and a sacrifice
each by Canavan and Cooney sent him to
third. Then Hutchinson loomed, and
somebody remarked .
"Xoif, old Hutch, win your own game."
He proceeded to do this sure enough, and
knocked the ball to the right center lence
lor three bases. Corkhill got the ball and
threw it to Smith, who unified the throw,
and Hutch scored on the error. The score :

ONE FOB G0DFEET.
The Colored gladiator Badly Heats
Joe
Lnnnon In Four Rounds.
New York, May 16 The chief topic of con
versatlon in sporting circles in this vicinity,
besides the Brooklyn Handicap, was the
great heavy weight glove contest between
Joe Lannon and Gcoige Godfrey before tho
Coney' Island Athletic Club. Joe Lannon
was the flrst one of the pugilists to enter the
ring promptly at 9 p. jr., accompanied by his
seconds, Jack Barnott and Billy Mahoney.
He was followed closely by Godfrey, whose
seconds woro Howie Hodgkins and Frank
Steele. Al Smith acted as referee. Lannon
tipped tho scales at 17S pounds and Godfrey
at 1P5 pounds.
First round At the call of timeboth men stepped
to the center of the ring and sparred a few seconds
for an opening. Godfrey was the flrst to lead and
lie landed hard with both right and left. He fol
lowed up his advantage and landed many good
blows before Lannon got down to his work, but
when he did commence to fight he got In some good
left-handed Jabs and several hard right-handed
swinging blows.
Second round Godfrey forced the fighting, but
Lannon met his rush with a savage rush counter,
which made him a trifle more cautious. Both men
fought hard and In a vicious manner until call of
time.
Third round Both men were full of fight when
this round commenced and some telling blows were
struck. Lannon was knocked down in this round,
but was up quirk.
Fourth round This was the fiercest and most ex
citing round of the fight and the one which settled
the battle. Lannon directed all his blows for God
frey's stomach, while the colored man played for
Lannnn's head entirely. He kept Jabbing him
straight In the face with his left and swinging his
right back of Lannon's ear until he had him so
groggr that ho could scarcely stand on his feot.
Lannon swung a vicious right and It fell short
of tho mark, and before Lannon could
recover Godfrey landed a right-handed upper-cut,
which sent Lannon staggering acrosB the stage,
and another one straight from the shoulder with
the left knocked htm down and almost out. He
got up Just In time to prevent being counted out.
Godfrey followed up his advantage and sent the
blows In like hot shot by both right and left, and
had Lannon almost out when time was called.
Lannon fought back to the best or his ability, but
was growing weaker every second from the punish
ment he was receiving.
They were both so much excited that
neither of them seem to have heard the gong
c.ill time and went right on fighting both of
them delivering foul blows, hut the few Lan
non struck had llttlo steam In them, while
threo ofGodfiey's terrific swings almost put
Lannon out. The seconds or uotu men
sprang into the ring yelling "foul," but bv
that time Al Smith, tho referee, had grabbed
Godtrev and dragged him away from Lnn
non. Tho entite crowd shouted "foul," and
the wildest kind of excitement prevailed.
The roreroo turned a deaf car to all appeals
of Lannon's friends to give him the light on
afoul. Ho ordeted the men to go on light
ing and at the cilloftime lorthoflfth lound
Godftey responded and the referee walked
over to Lannon's corner amid a most excit
ing state of cnnfuBlon nnd ordered Lannon
to get up and right, and when he refused to
do, awarded tho victory to Godfrey.
