Quickstep was defeated by one run.
Sawyer, the left-handed pitcher o.
game, but if he is as great a failure at
pitching as he is at umpiring, he had
better resign from the base ball field
and retire to private life. At times his
decisions were outrageonsly bad, espe-
cially when foul hall was knocked
over Snyder's head and ought Oh
bound by the first baseman, 1t was de-
cided fair ball. and in conseq uence
two runs were scored, which gave the
visitors the lead. DAILY, the oue-armed
pitcher. occupied the noles for the
visitors, but was hit for eleven singles
with a total of sixteen bases, while
they were unable to hit Pyle very
effectively, only the heavy batLers get
ting in hi 8.
The game opened with the Cleveland
at the bat, and Hotaling, Glasscock and
York each made safe hits, but only one
was able to score. They scored another
run in the fourth inning on hits by
York and Mccormick, and two n tha
fifth on single by York, a double by
Glasscock and Rickley's errors. Daly,
the one armed pitcher, opened the ninth
inning with a two dagger, and reached
third on Hotaling's hit to Snyder.
Glasscock then knocked little fly over
the first base, which to all eyes, except
Sawyer's, struck foul, and Snyder
caught it on the first bound, but the
umpire declared it fair, thus allowing
DAILY to score. York then hit double,
bringing Glasscock home. For tho
Quickstep Kienzel opened the first
inning with safe hit, but was left. In
the second inning hits by Henry and
Cusick and passed ball allowed tho
former to score. In the third doubles
by Kienzel and Benners earned another
run, tielng the score.
Pyle opened the fifth inning with .
two. bagger, and Kienzel advanced him
to third on single, and tho audience
screamed with delight when Benners
landed one safe in the right field corner
for three bags, bringing in two runs,
and scoring shortly afterwards on
passed ball. The score was now 5 to 4
in favor of the home club, and remained
thus until the ninth inning, when the
visitors scored twice. For the home
nine, Kienzel got his base on balls, and
reached second On passed ball. ALI
was excitement when Benners again
welded the ash. Bennsrs again hit the
ball hard, and ordinarily 1t would have
been without the fielder's reach, but
this time York at left field was waiting
and captured it. Kienzel reached
third, but was left there, as both HoOv-
er and Albert went out, the former at
first and the latter at centre field.
