SUNDAYS GAME
The forenoon was dark and gloomy,
rain continuing TO fall till noon. Both
zidss had the blues. and feared that the
second game could not be played. How
ever, at midday the sun pierced through
the clouds. and for a time things looked
~ uch brighter, bat during the afternoon
il was again dark and lowering. and n
the middle OF the game rain fell Tor haif
an hour. There were about bUO visitors
oct to see the game, which vas SLOW,
owing to the rain, and seeming LACK
of executive ability ON the part of the
umpire, Mr.. G. ID. Ford, OF Portland, and
the frequent questioning OF MS de-
cisions.
some yery bad, as well as some very
moor playiRg was done on both sides.
Owing to Jacobs illness, the Reds had
no change Of pitcher, and an accident
to Fairbairn partially disabled him
after she sixth inning. kenney caught
for the Reds, and Starrett, who Was
pretty well used up in the previous game
played center field, and Burneli, one of
the substitutes, played third base. Ken
news fine playing behind the bat won
for him many compliments, both from
spectators and the Portland press.
The features Ut the game were Thor
uelrs brilliant fielding, he having Gap
tured three very difficult flies, each after
a long run Starrett's making running
catch ever his shoulder and Joe Buch-
| tells heavy batting. In speaking OF the
SEATTLE PLAYERS the Oregonidn comment
ed "a follows of FairbaIrn He throws
overland, underhand and at straight
arm With equal force. He guards bases
well. has good control over the ball and
seldom pitches wild. In form he very
much resembles Glendennins, and he Is
very much such a player" This man
Glendennine does not reside In Port
land, but is expected to occupy the
pitchers box for the Portlands on the
Fourth at Seattle. The same paper says
of Reddish, the first baseman He Is
as neat q player as ever graoed the oia-
moud, end is not afraid to leave kls
base TO cover right short field"
During this game, as well as that OF
Saturday. quite a number or saorince
pIays were made by members of the
Reds. 40 that the individual scores as
| indicated below by reason of such sacri-
fees. appears against those making the
same. in order to bring in runs for the
team.
| 1t was a notorious fact, and generally
conceded that many of the umpire's de-
cisions were erroneous and unjust, and
| unf .rtunately all Of them we're against
the Reds, thus, with good reason, con-
| yincinp tue visitors that these errors of
| Judgment ON his part were Intentional.
During the entiye game, but more es-
pecially during the latter half, the Sc
attic boys realized that they were con-
| tending against ten men, viz: the nine
PLAYERS and the umpire. All hands APP
pearea determined that the second game
should be won by the POrtlands, and
| fually accomplished their object, while
| the Reds accepted their defeat with rs
good grace as possible under the cir
cumstances. The Portland team did
everything in it's power to make the
visit of the Seattle boys pleasant, ex-
| tending to them every courtesy that
could be desired, taking especial pride
| In showing the boys around, and enter
| tanning them in the most hospitable
manner.
