TWO WEARY INNINGS.
Staley Gets n Little Astray With Bad
Results.

Results.
Our mutual friend Michael Kelly has a very
dangerous aggregation of baseball players here
with him on tbs trip, but not SO dangerous or
wolfish lot as have visited this city previously.
However, their first appearance here this sea-
son, which was yesterday at Recreation Park
was 5.gnaled by very singular victory. Mich
aei and his men won, and as far as that is con-
cerned, that settles it: but there is nothing
reasonable to show why the home talent
shouldn't have.won providing they had played
anything like the way they can play. This is
not said to detract anything from the victory
of the cultured people, but it is remarked, by
the way, to show that yesterdays victors,
really good fellows and excellent ball players,
are not the best team that has visited this city
since Beaver was appointed Governor of the
State
However. the visitors, taking matters all
round. beat the home players fair and square;
but the fact must be enforced that it was not
altogether by their frst-class work as much as
it was because of the shortcomings of the local
representatives. OF course there are always
lot of IFS and ands" connected with every de-
feat but in some instances the Ifs are reas-
enable. This was so yesterday and the great
majority of the 2 500 people present looked at
matters in this light Here's the primary reas-
enable if
THOSE BASES ON BALLS.
balls the home club might have. because the
evergreen Clarkson was raped a trife harder
than was Staley. Clarllson. however. did not
make presents of bases as extravagantly as
Staley, and that was really the deciding point
of the game.
The aspiring champions were undoubtedly
welcome here yesterday. PIttsburg is always
glad to see such familiar faces as those owned
by the famous Michael, Tom Brown, Brouthers
and CIarkson. They are in good company this
time round and their good fielding yesterday
probably made up for any disappointment that
may have been caused by their not knocking
the cover of dozen of balls. Tom Brown was
cheered. and heartily cheered at that. Tom,
Long Tom. that made the historical home run
over the right field fence, has many friends here,
bat he aroused considerable temporary enimity
here Yesterday by making hit the first time
at bat and scoring. As a result of this ungeu-
erous conduct when he showed one of his old
failings at bat in the second inning by striking
out he was cheered as loudly as ever. But the
spirit of that promp ed the original cheer.
This onlv shows THAI we are desirous of the
downfall of anybody, friend or foe. who oppose
the select few who make up the PittsDurg ball
team.
Well the Bostons beat us by better all round
playing Without doubt they are
AN IMPROVED LOT
on the team of last year, and it will take our
home talent at their very best to score victory
termined to float the pennant down at their
classical home next year. Judged from yester-
days game the Bostons are not liable to make
many mistakes; their mission is to down every
body they meet; in word, they are out for the
stuff.
The game was too onesided to be an interest
ing contest In the very offset, by a series Of
unfortunate and costly mistakes the visitors
took decided lead; a lead of six to one at the
third inning. The game ended at that; but
Clarkson was there in his oldtime form of cum
ming and deception and he never allowed even
the semblance of any eNtravagant onslaught
Charley Bennett looked well after him and the
other seven colleagues were equal to mailing
anything that came their way.
The game put up by the home nine was not
the hest that they can do. The mistakes made
were costly and probably with the exception of
Dunlap's errors in the first. inning were to
great extent ineXcusable. Staley, indeed, did
well to hold the heavy hitters down to seven
hits, and had he not been at times little wild.
the result might have been different.
The home team started out very encourag-
ingly. Hanlon after refusing one OF two bad
balls. whacked one out between the left and
center ielders He was at second base before
the ball was returned, and when
CARROLL THUMPED A HOT ONE
toward Nash it seemed settled that Clark
still the old-time pie. Beckley came
and everybody expected home run, but Jake
only sent a terrific bouncer to Big Dan, who
picked IL up with his big hands and, by the aid
of Bennett nabbed Hanlon at the plate. That
was painful. Still Clarkson was looked upon
as a mark, and Maurs sacrifice hit brought
Carroll home, and in trying to get Carroll out
at the plate the visitors allowed Maui to be
safe. In the meantime, however, Beckley had
been settled at second by Nash and Richard
son. who handled the ball knocked out by
Maui Billy Sunday mildly ended all further
chances that inning by knocking out fly to
Tom Brown. One run was scored, and that was
the last for the home representatives.
Brown began for the visitors by humping
out a good hit to LEFT. He stole second, of
course and Johnstown went to first on balls
Keliy's sacrifice to Beckley brought Brown in,
and BrQuthers flew out to Maui and Johnston
got TO third. Richardson got his base on balls
and stole second. Nash also went to first on
balls and then Quinn knocked safe lit to
Dunlap. but in fielding it to Beckley he threw
a little wild. As result both Johnston and.
Richardson scored, making three runs for the
inning.
In the third Kelly led of and got his base on
balls. He stole second, and scored on a long
single by Brouthers to left. Richardson then
went out at first, but Nash made scratch hit,
and Brouthers scored Nash stole second on a
wild throw by Carroll, and ultimately got home
on a muffed throw by Staley. The latter struck
the next two men out, ana no more runs were
made. Fessenden umplred very well Follow
ing is the score:
