GENERAL BASEBALL NEWS OF THE DAY


Once more victory was on the side OF the
Pittsburg ball team yesterday. making the
fourth time this week. The Clevelands were
again the victims, and their star pitcher,
Beatin, was metaphorically slaughtered.
Miller made home run. Morris, the local
pitcher, will be kept here. He has made
very fair proposition. Manager Phillips
will leave on q vacation this evening. The
Senators easily defeated the New Yorks
with Tim Keefe in the box.
If the home baseball talent can only keep
in line they need nothing easier than those
heretofore children of Dame Fortunes
smiles from Cleveland. They are just as
nice as strawberry shortcake at a picnic. at
least this was the case yesterday afternoon
at Recreation Park. The lusty youngsters
were outplayed at every stage and angle,
and the little squirt they made was almost
entirely due to freak of the most remark
able fortune. Without doubt those Cleve-
landers are lucky fellows, or else they would
only have had couple of runs, or maybe
none at ALL II the same luck has followed
them throughout their career in the League
no wonder they are so near the top. and it
seems now that luck has had much to do with
ii. Good fortune was so much on their side
yesterday that nothing but the most terrihc
batting could counterbalance it.
But there was soma slugging and no mis-
take; some downright old-time humping The
local delegation simply banged the bail all over
the lot, and kept it flying to and fro as if
machine was shooting it thr ough the air. 1t
must have been painful for Mr.. Beatin to stand
and see the ball first knocked over the fence;
then 60 bang against the fence, and immediate
ly fly over the top of a iielder's head. The Jay
that is Captain of the team did make feeble
effort to blame Umpire McQuaide for all this
but he wasn't game enough to continue the
bluff. However, the game will go on record as
ONE OF HEAVY sLUGGING
by the home team, and Mr. Reatin, who, by the
way, is lively and active little gentleman, will
certainly remember it.
Two home runs were made, and one of them
very inglorious one. The other. that made
by Miller, was one of the good old sort, as the
Midget simply knocked the ball on to a cloud,
and it went sailing somewhere over the rail-
road tracks toward Butler county. George
certainly did get fairly on to that ball, and he
may appear to-day adorned in Gusky's silk hat
and fourishing an umbrella from that firm and
also another from VIII Price. Miller with two
silk umbrellas a silk hat, a mouth full of to-
bacco and a bull pup will form an entertaining
picture. However, the game little sport is
worth all that he'll get The other home run,
that by the rowdy, Jay Faatz. is painful to
think Of 1t really affects ones heart to call it
home run. but Mr.. Jay got round the bases
on the hit. He knocked bounding ball to
White. The ball struck Whites foot and
bounded over among the bleaching boards.
That is how his insolence got around the dia-
mond. Whatever glory there is in it Mr.. Faatz
is welcome to it.
Staley pitched a good game, but he was
wilder than usual. He had his regular of
inning but his colleagues were using the stick
SO freely that it did not have much effect.
sTALEY's GOOD SUPPORT.
He was well supported, however. Miller
caught a great game, and with two exceptions
threw excellently to second. Rowe made his
appearance and played well. He was accorded
a hearty reception. In short the entire team
played winning hall, and when in form they
can do it every day.
Beatin was mark for the home team. while
his support not of the best. Stricker
played admirably, without a doubt about it;
indeed, it is hard to think of player who
would have guarded his territory better than
that active little fellow. He simply gobbled up
everything that went his way and once or twice
spoiled good base nit.
The run getting commenced in the second
inning. 1t was thus early that Mr.. Beatin's
measure was taken. Rowe opened the inning
and was cheered. He raped the ball neatly to
left field for a single and Maui followed with
another In tile same direction and Rowe pro-
ceeded to third Maui tried to reach second on
the throw to third, but he overrsn the base and
was easily nabbed by Stricken. Had Maui made
a slide he would have been all right. The
faithful Deacon loomed up with another single
to short right and Rowe scored Smith few
out and Staley struck out. In the second in
ming. after Hanlon was out. Carroll made a
single to middle but was retired at second on
Beckley's life hit. The Hon. George Miller
then stepped up to the plate, and after giving
his pants a sailors hoist he extended his bat
and faced Mr.: Beatin: One strike" was
Georges stay at the bat seemed extremely
brief. Beatin, however, sent In aspeedy low ball
and Miller's bat met it
WITH A "BIFF, BIN, BANG"
and away went the ball up among the clouds
By the aid of a telescope it was seen sailing
over the left field fence high enough to
be out of the reach of anything earthly. Beck
ley and Miller ambled home amid yells of de-
light
In the fifth inning, after two men were out.
Miller again caught the ball on the right place
reached first on called balls and Miller stole
third and scored on a wild throw by Sutclitfe
Maui made a scratch hit for a single, but was
retired on Whites short grounder. In the
seventh inning Carroll led of BY humping the
ball to the left field fence for two bases Beck
ley reached first On wild throw by Sutcliffe and
Carroll got to third. Miller's single to middle
brought Carroll home. Rowe got his base on
balls and the bases were full. Maui knocked a
grounder to Mexican, and Beckley was nabbed
at the plate. White few out to Stricken
Smith then sent hot one to Faatz, who FUN
bled the ball until 1t got past him, and Rowe
Rrd Miller scored. Hanlon's single and Car
rolls three-baser earned the run in the eighth
The fourth inning was the lucky one for the
visitors. Stricken got his base on balls and
was nabbed trying to steal second. McAleer
made a single and stole second. and Mexican
followed with hit to right, bringing McAleer
in. Mexican stole second on Miller's bad
throw and Twitchell hit to middle bringing
Mexican home. Faatz then appeared and
knocked a live'y bounCer to White. The ball
struck Whites foot and was switched among
the bleaching boards. This enabled Twitchell
and Faatz to get home. The visitors never
