| Text | The largest crowd of spectators attracted by base ball yesterday in the Metropolis was that gathered in front of the World office to see the machine exhibition of the contest which was then taking place 900 miles distant, at Chicago, between the nines under those boss kickers, Anson and Ewing. Every point of the game was shown by the patent bulletin machine, and Park row, from Beekman street to the Mail office was crowded by over a thousand spectators. Up to the ninth inning all the bulletins which came in were in favor of New York, and the gamins were in ecstacies, the score standing at 7 to 1 at the end of the eighth inning in favor of New York. When the eighth inning began and the New York got in a single the boys yelled. Run after run, however, was then recorded in favor of Chicago, and the gamins almost broke their hears. At last came the record of seven runs for Chicago in their eighth [sic: should be ninth] inning, with the result of a tie game, and then the crowd was hushed to silence in suspense awaiting the record of the tenth inning. It came, and two runs were set down for New York, making the total 10 to 8. Would Chicago score? was the next question, and the bulletin was watched with intense interest. One man out and no runs, and the crowd yelled. Two men out and Anson at the bat. But “the might Casey” struck out, and then there was a rush of the crowd to get the extras giving the particulars. |
