Chicago, June 9.�(Special.)�In the best batting game seen on the Thirty-ninth street grounds this season, the White Stockings took the Detroits into camp to-day by a score of 5 to 2. It was a nice game to look at, being almost free from errors and full of heavy hitting, daring base-running and snappy fielding. While Detroit secured nearly as many safe hits as the White Stockings did, those of the visitors were coupled with all sorts of hard luck. Three times safe hits were followed by double plays. On the contrary the White Stockings hit luckily and nearly all of them counted in amassing runs.
Stallings' men were easy victims in the first and second innings, but in the third Shaw and Siever singled. With one out, Casey hit into a double play, Padden getting the grounder. If it had been six inches nearer first base there is no telling where the visitors would have stopped, for the two men who followed at bat in the next inning both hit safely. Haney singled to left and scored on Elberfeld's hot one to right, Double plays cut off chances in the fifth and sixth for the Tigers. More bad luck haunted the Detroits in the seventh inning. Elberfeld singled and McAllister was given a base on balls. Holmes hit toward left, but Hartman speared the ball and touched Elberfeld, who was tearing towards third. Dillon struck out and Stallings singled, scoring McAllister. Shaw hit safe to center and Holmes tried to score from second, but Hoy's throw to Sugden caught "Ducky" and that ended Detroit's chances.
Base running gave Chicago its first run in the second inning. Padden walked and stole second. Isbell singled, sending Padden' to third. Isbell then stole, drawing a throw from Shaw, and Padden scored on the play. Hartman and Pad-den singled in the fourth and worked the same double steal, Hartman getting home. Padden reached third on Elberfeld's had return to the plate and scored on Shugart's two-bagger. Hoy's single and Brodie's double netted another in the fifth. In the sixth, after Padden had tiled out-and Iabell had singled and been caught stealing, Shugart singled and Sugden doubled, sending in another run. The last two innings were blanks.
Left on bases�Chicago re Detroit 3. Two-base hits�Brodie, Shugart, Sugden. Stolen bases--Padden 3, Isbell. Double plays�Shugart, Padden end Isbell; Brodie and Shugart; Padden and Isbell. Struck out�By Denzer 2. by Siever 3. Bases on balls - Off Denzer 1, off Siever 1, Time, 1:30. Umpire, Cantillon.
