THE ATHLETICS BEAT THE CHAMPIONS.
PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-Bobby Mat
thews, the 105-pound pitcher of the Athletic
Club, defeated the Cincinnati ball players
this afternoon by score of two to one, and
did it after receiving blow from the ball
which would have disabled man of much
larger physique. Batsman after after bats
man OF the champion team stepped up to
the plate, and either struck out or made
feeble hits on which they were easily re-
tired. Out of thirty times at the bat but
two base hits were made, and nine strikers.
or nearly one-third, were disposed of after
vainly t-yingt to hit the pitching. Thirty times
IN all did the bstsmen hit at the ball and miss
it. The game was essentially a pitchers,
game, as the heavy hitters of the home nine
failed to hit White with any freedom, max
ing only four base hits, although he was hit
much harder than Matthews.
The fielding of the Cincinnati was far
from good, while that of their opponents
was better, although the fielders had com
paratively little work to do, four assists
covering the ground, irrespective of the
pitcher and catcher. Fulmer PLAYED a fine
game for the visitors, and O'Brien made
grand catch in the centre field, saving what
looked like home run. The umpire was
eminently satisfactory, Kelly giving his de-
cisions sharp and quick, and calling balls
and strikes with rare good judgment.
