A neat trick to get a new ball was tried by the Chicagos in the last inning of Thursday's game at New York. The ball in play was fouled over the grand stand, and the second ball, not being in sight, Capt. Anson demanded that a new ball be brought out. Capt. O'Rourke refused to allow this, claiming that the other ball, the second ball, was in sight only a moment before. After a search it was found hid away under of the of the players who was lying on the ground.
