NEW YORK, July 10.-The event in to-
days game at the Polo Grounds was the
batting of Connor. Roger had his eve on
the ball and it was just the sort OF a game
shat he selects for long hits. He had
record for long hits on the old Polo Grounds
and he longed for a record on the new
grounds, and he has got it, Notwithstanding
that the grounds are only three days old.
The ninth inning had begun. Tiernan had
hit safe and moved around to third on bad
throw by Fields, and Brown was out on a
long drive to Hanlon. When Connor came
to the bat he looked the picture of strength.
He is undoubtedly the most powerfully
built ball player in the land, and as he
leaned over the plate with his bat in hand
he was, indeed, a picture. About the sec
ond ball pitched he made a savage lunge at 1t
and the horse-hIde disappeared over the right
field fence under the elevated railroad station.
There was burst of applause at this feat, for
it was the first time that the ball
HAD GONE OVER THE FENCE.
The hit was foul. however, and Connor con-
field sent in two wild balls after this hit, and
the remark was general that he wouldn't give
Connor a chance to hit it again, but he did.
The next ball was about waist high, and Con-
nor's bat cut swath in the air. noise like
the driving of spgotinto beer keg followed,
and for . moment there was not a sound. The
ball cut a great circle in the air and Hanlon
was following it as fast as his legs could carry
him. Suddenly Hanlon stopped, and the crowd
got upon its feet at is overr' was the cry, and
so it was
There were only I,566 spectators present, but
the noise that they made could have been heard
for blocks away; even the boys on the distant
bluffs caught up the echo and for several mo-
ments everyone yelled. Cheer upon cheer fol-
lowed the great hit and the big first baseman
raised his cap time and again as he trotted
easily around the bases. The ball went over
the fence about IS feet to the right of the
center field flag and l40 yards from the home
plate. The fence and embankment at that
point are 25 feet high The hit differed some
what from Connors usual long hits, for it was
more hooped- Richardson made
THE LONGEST HIT
in the third inning that has been made inside
the grounds. The ball went into the left field
corner, and had he not stopped at third he
would have got home run on it. As 1t was,
more than the usual value. The three games
of the present series between the New York
and Pittsburg clubs came to an end to-day with
the result of three straight victories for the
champions. The visitors showed plainly that
they had no hope of winning, and they placed
themselves on the defensive at the very start
But even their attempt to prevent a
crushing defeat was failure. The New
Yorks had out their biggest bats. and from
the start it was continual series of hits and
runs that fell to their credit Morris started in
as the visitors pitcher, and Notwithstanding
there were many fears that he would give the
champions not a little trouble all such fears
were groundless, for he only lasted one inning
The pace which the New Yorks set with their
wagon tongues was by far too hot for him, and
when the second inning opened Morris re-
manned on the bench while the college pitch
er, Garfield appeared in the box. This young
man showed that he was not new at the bust
ness and against any other club but the New
Yorks, and at any other time, he would have
probably made better showing; but the
NEW YoRKS WERE OUT FOR BLOOD
in this game and they would have hit the ball,
no matter who had been pitching. The contest
was void of interest, on account of its ore
sidedness, and the only question was as to the
number of runs that the New Yorks would get
After the fifth inning had been played Captain
Ewing saw that the game was safe for the New
Yorks, and he sent Brown in behind the bat in
his place. so that Brown could have some prs c.
tice and Ewing could have a little rest The
New Yorks played an easy game. At no time
were they at all uncertain about the outcome
of the contest. Their field work was good al
though not perfect. Crane pitched in fine
form, taking II easy when there was no one on
the bases and showing rare judgment when the
bases were occupied. During the latter part of
the game our speedy pitcher let up somewhat
in order that he might save himself and this
was the cause Of the visitors getting their run.
The Pittsburg team, to say the least, is in a
bad way, and the men are in a very bad condi-
fion, as is shown by the odds and ends that the
nine composed of to-day. Sunday and
Carroll are among the worst broken up of the
players. Morris is altogether out of form. The
score:
