The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-04-30
A CLOSE GAME.
MEMPHIS DEFEATED BY A SCORE
OF 9 TO 1,
In the Most Exciting Baseball Con.
test Of the Championship
Series.

Failure to bunch their hits lost
Memphis beautifully played game
Yesterday by score OF . 10 l. II was
a game in every way cieditable TO both
mines, the fielding being sharp on both
sides and the errors inConsiderable.
1t took eleven innings to decide the
game, and the excitement was 30 in
tense at Charleston that it affected the
wires, or rather the man at the Charles
ton end OF il, who got so nervous he
could scarcely handle his instrument
The pitching OF O'Leary yesterday
proves him to be the superior OF
Knouff and Black, and his work at the
bat aud in running bases is not ex..
celled by any Of our men and equaled
only by Black. II all the Memphis
nine played ball as hard as 0'Leary
we might have won yesterdays game.
The Charlestons made their first run
in the first inning. Say flied out; Gil
man hit for single and stole second;
Gardner flied out. Crowley was struck
by ball and allowed first base. Bros.
nan then went to the bat and
at this iuncture 0'Ieary made balk,
and ths umpire allowed Gilman to
score, Brosnan going to first snd Crow
ley to third. Powell was ALEC hit by
the ball and went to first, but Holland
retired the side by liner TO short
stop. Memphis scored in the third
inning on Sneed's single, Mansels
long hit to right field and grounder
past first by Andrews, Sneed scoring,
Neither side scored after that until
the eleventh inning. Brosnan was
first at the bat for Charleston, went 10
first on called balls, stole second made
third on Powell's sacrifice hit t.
pitcher, and scored on Hollands sac
rifice hit to first base. Memphis
failed to score, and the day was lost
after what was probably the best
PLAYED game OF the Southern League
series. The features of the game were
BrouRhton's brilliant work behind the
bat, the pitching Of both box-men ant
the admirable playing OF Andrews a
first. Umpire MCQuade made
record as the nerviest ant
equarest umpire in the league an'
though frequently Kissed by thu
Oharlest jnians he never wavered II
his firm LESS and impartiality. In tn
tenth inning he stood test that few
men could have stood successfully
The score was tied, the excitemen
was intense, and all Charleston was o.
the tiptoe Of expectation. Two me-
vera out, weighing wss ON thine
Gardner on second, and Crowley g
the bat. Whack went the ball dow
near third base, past the hasemar
and weighing and Gardner bot
scored, while Charleston yelled itse
hoarse. The umpire, however, NJ
moved by ali the uproar, declared ia
hit foul, and ordered weighing bac
{ TO third aud Gardner to second, an
there they stayed, for Crowley was pr
r out on his hitto third, aud all Charles
ton soured. Bets were even on u
grand stand that il Charleston 10
) tbs umpire would be lynched. Flo
; tunately, this dire catastrophe W
syerted by the timely victory OF I'll
Ceroliniars in the eleventh inning.
