Orth's Poor Work in Handling Bunts Costs New York the Game.
Special to The New York Times.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The Chicago team won an eleven-inning contest with New York to-day, by a score of 2 to 1 after everything that possibly could happen in a baseball game had happened, including a one-round bout, without gloves, between Shortstop Elberfeld and Umpire McCarthy, which was stopped by the police.
Barring the rowdyism, which was the Worst seen on a local diamond since the days when the rowdies ran baseball into the ground, the game was very exciting. It was a fierce struggle between two pitchers - White and Orth - both of whom had been compelled to retire under fire in previous games. Both were determined to win, and the exhibition of nerve given by them more than repaid the big throng which crowded the stands to suffocation, overflowed wherever permitted, and compelled the refunding of money to many late corners who could not find a spot from which even a glimpse of the game could be had.
