The Greenwood & Morans Down the
Altas-Other Matters.
There was good attendance at Agricult-
ural Park yesterday afternoon TO witness
! the game between the GREENWOOD & Mo
rams, of Oakland, and the Atlas. The
former presented strong nine, but the Al
! tas were weak. Hapeman and George Nc
Laughlin, the battery of the Snowtakes,
performed that duty, and Bidwell. of the
same club, played center field. Hapeman
did remarkably well for so young pitcher,
striking out 10 of the Pets" but the ex-
perienced batters of that club got on . to
his delivery after a while, and found MN
for eight base hits, including home run
by Blakiston, and a three-bagger by Long.
George Mclaughlin could not hold him
very well, and, at times getting worried,
his throwing was not as accurate as usual.
Bidwell caught three flies nicely, but
"muffed " one. Billy Mclaughlin held the
fort at first base admirably. On the part OF
the Greenhoods, much interest was felt
in Monet, who occupied the box, 1t
being his first appearance here. His de-
livery was very effective, causing eleven OF
the Atlas to g FAM" Brown gave him good
support Blakiston seemed to be at home
at first and Denny, who played third base,
did so excellently. He commenced poorly
at the bat, striking out twice in succession,
but made up for it afterwards. The g. d
MS made but three errors to the Atlas
ten, and this, coupled with their superior
batting, enabled them to win with score
of nine to four.
The game opened with the visiting club
at the bat. Neither side scored during the
first two innings, and the spectators were
greatly pleased with the fine work done.
In the third inning Bidwell, of the Atlas
got to first base, being the first man OF the
nine to do so. Hapeman hit slow one to
third, who threw to first, but Blakiston let
it pass, and Bidwell tailed. In the fourth |
inning Newbert had three strikes called |
upon him, but managed to get to first and |
worked around, aided by Robertson's little |
one to short-stop, and finally tailed |
on passed ball. The G. & Ms made |
their first runs in their fifth time up. |
Van Haltren "bunted the ball success |
fully and beat it to first, and on Hape- |
mans overthrow passed on to second, sub |
sequently scoring on passed ball. Blakis- |
ton, who had missed his third strike, but |
scratched to first, was brought home by |
Browns drive to center field. In the next !
inning Long sent the ball so far into right |
field that he made three bases, and came |
home on a passed ball. In the seventh |
inning Blackisten made up for his previous |
poor efforts by home run. After two |
men had been retired, Monet sent sky |
scraper to right field, and, through a series
of 0verthrows and errors, crossed the
home plate. Denny's hit to center field |
was muffed, and he eventually added an
other tally to the list by coming home on
passed ball. The visitors were unsuccess-
full during their next turn at the bat, but
the Atlas put new life into the game by
some good batting, which resulted in Hill
bert and Bidwell each gaining tally, caus-
ing the game to stand six for the GREENWOOD
e. Morans to four for the home nine. The
latter could not improve their score further
during the game, but the "Pets" added
three to theirs, Shea, Monet and Denny
being the successful ones. Following is
the score:
