iHIANTs' FUN WITH HEALY
Sixteen Earned Runs Is the Crushing
Score Against the Homo Players.
The Defeat Has Several Other Disagreeable
Features, but fhsy Can Be Forgotten
If Such Game Is Not Repeated.

About fifteen hundred people witnessed
.znosley exhibition o. pitching yesterday at the
hall park. Every one WAS disguised, not that
the home club was not victorious. but because
Healy for the fifth consecutive time this season
demonstrated his inability TO stand before League
baismen. When Ksefe was seen in the box for
the visitors all hope of victory vanished from
the friends OF the home team, but the latter
were NOT without the hope that Hsaly,
upon his fifth trial, would show that
be still possessed some Of the cunning
which characterized his pitching two years
ago; but In this they were doomed to
bitter disappointmsnt. Never in the history Of
the game did pitcher get such larrupinR a.
Hsaly received in the three innings. which he
attempted to pitch. Thirteen clean earned
runs. and total Of thirty -four bases, WAS
the batting record made Of OF him before tho
active felders behind him could succeed in re-
firing nine men. There was no luck about it;
Il vas plain. everyday hitting. at which all took
b hand.
Every one Of the New Yorks went to the bst
IN tho first inning. and every one Of them who
- . chance at the ball hit it hard. Gore. Ward,
and Common made slashing singles, Ewing
thres-baeeer and Richardson home run. As
Herman got his base on balls six earned sT.as

Keefe. Gore and Conner made home runs, and

hit the ball hard, but not safe.
It did not seem to occur to Spence that the
game might have been prolonged into darkness
before the 9Th inning was reached. for when
the New Yorks went 20 bat in the fourth they
found McGeachy facing them. "Mack" began
fby knocking Richardson's bat out OF his hand,
but he steadied down and succeeded in retiring
tthe side without . batter reaching first, for
which he was enthusiastically spplaudod. He
did almost equally well in the fifth, although Gore,
Ewing aftsrward got base on balls. The itst hit
OF McGsschy was made In the sixth by Ksefe.

The visitors also made two runs in their last
opportunity at the bat-the eighth. Brown

Buckley. yielded two runs. swelling. their total
tto< three more than the home club secured

The Indianapolis club made run In the DIR st

New Yorks got . lead of 8 to at the end Of the
second inning they tried trick which. under the
circumstances. was reprehensible. Kesfe WAS
ordered 20 play the sick act" ana when the
other Giants walked on the field in the third
inning he sat on the bench with his head be-
tween his hards. and tried 70 persuade the
umpire that be was too sick 70 finish the game.
The object Of it ALL of course. was TO save Kesfe
for the Chicago games The sickness was all
affected The home team had no objections 10
Keefs saving himself for Chicago. but they were
opposed 70 the idea of fresh pitcher being put
In the box. Ewing. however. went in
to pitch. and Keefe played third.
The latter showed no further symptoms OF
malaria. Ewing pleased the crowd by his good.
natured TESTING. bus the crowd was not pleased
with the feeble manner 10 which the home play
ers battsd at his weak delivery. They should
have piled mp eight or ten runs OF Of him IN the
Innings 10 which he pitched, especially as be
would frequently toss the ball across the plate.
The beautiful fielding OF Bassett and Denny
and especially OF the former--wss the one re.
dssmine feature Of the dismal game, although
I Daily did some very clever work behind the bat.
