Dakin Wins Honor.Judging from the Chicago papers Malvern’s ball player Dakin Miller is the leading star of the National League in the games played thus far this season. He is receiving more comment than any other two players in the league.The Chicago team is in the lead now and bids fair to be in for the pennant. Well that 13 what we expected for Dakin has played on a pennant winning team ever since he began. Here are some extracts commenting on his work:Miller, out in left garden was the bright particular star of the game.Before the rooters hod forgotten a running catch of a line fly from Davis5 bat, which he pocketed on the ungloved side while running at full speed, he enlrely eclipsed what was an excellent effort. Tommy Leach, the first) batter up in the fltfh, connected safely and sent the ball traveling far toward the crowd in left field. Miller started as soon as the ball, ran backwards perhaps sixty feet, turned with the ball and seeing he was still likely to lose it, took a headlong dive, arousing the spectators. They spread and he gradually dropped to the earth as the human cusion gave way before his weight. But before enough time could elaps to raise 'doubt as to his having actually made the catch, Miller appeared on his feet holding the ball. Umpire |Cantillon declared Leach out, and even Manager Clark had not the hardihood to venture other than a mild protest against the decision.— Chicago Tribune.Omi ♦
