local PLAYERS. Schaeffer issues big chal-
lenge to Slosson.
ANYBODY who knows the difference be-
tween a pug dog and the biggest elephant
that ever Barnum had in his establishment,
and will watch the Bostons play game of
ball will know that they are not liable to
be marks for anybody. They are great, big,
raw-boned, merciless fellows in baseball
way. They are out to knock the wind from
anybody they meet; that is their mission,
and they are doing it with great regularity.
Those who visited yesterdays game with
out being initiated into the deeper mysteries
of baseball would have thought that the nome
talent had, OF was going to have, what is COM
monty called picnic with the Boston fellows.
Everything started out lovely for the home
representatives that is to those who have rot
correct notion of the previous history Of the
Boston team. Pittsburgs talent made two
runs by good playing, and the visitors did
nothing at all in run making for five innings.
Many people thought that two runs were
large number, but that is just where.
ORDINARY FOLK ARE FOOLED
bya team like Boston. They not only eat
beans, but they suddenly, like panthers. spring
comes in their way.
1t is this great power that the Bostons may at
any moment bring into action that makes them
dangerous people. Why scan their batting
order and see if almost every man is not liable
at any time to knock the cover OF the ball. Big
Dan Brouthers alone is enough to scare the
wits out Of any human pitcher. and along with
him there are such marks for pitchers as Rich
ardson, Nash, Kelly. Johnston, etc.
game inst showed that the asDir-
ants to the pennant are as powerful a lot with
the stick as the famous Detroits. To them the
game is never lost until the last inning has been
closed
THEY CAN BUTCHER PITCHERS.
In an inning they can butcher any pitcher
SUFFICIENT to turn white into white. They did it
yesterday. They won the game by real hard
hitting Just at a time when hard hitting is
needed. and when nothing else will dc.
The weather was fine, and there were about
2,0OO people present OF course the Bostons
are good drawing card, or else probably only
800 people would have been there considering
recent performances However, the people
who saw the game saw good one, and II 1t
tSe nae nome nS1 sept would have won Thew we're
only knocked out of victory by one of these
avalanches that the Boston fellows suddenly
hurl down on opponents. Morris Tor the the
seventh inning was the stage when the East
ern slaugbterers had their clubs ready for
him. And they pummeled him dreadfully at
that point even after two of their three men
were dead. 1t was here where the
BIG FELLOWS GOT REVENGE,
and it was here where the Boston players
showed that remarkable quality of theirs, viz:
The quality to thump out victory cleanly by
the sticks. They were cheered for it and
deserved it. The Hi, hi, his'' of the en-
thusastic followers of the team were none out
of place in that seventh inning.
In the first inning the home players started
out with glorious prospects. 1t looked as il
Clarkson was going to be the old target that he
used to be and that Boston for once this season
was to be beaten by the Pittsburg lot Miller
started out by hanging the ball within two feet
of the left field fence. 1t did not bound over
sent him to third and Browns sacrifice sent
him home. Beckley got his base on ball but
Maui was retired at first base. In the second
inning Fields cheered everybody by knocking
out a double to left but he was put out at
third on Kuehne's grounder. Dunlap made
scratch hit and Kuehne got to third.
KELLY's BIG MUFF.,
Morris few out and Miller knocked high
fly to Kelly that was muffed, and Kuehne got
home. The Bostons were beaten now accord
ing to many stories, but they were only lying
back. Micawber-like, for spring. And they
made it.
In the sixth inning the visitors began to show
their teeth. After Kelly was out Nash made a
single to left field and Dan Brouthers thumped
out the ball to right field for two bases. By the
way Dan, in the fourth inning, led off with
three-bagger. and was left at third. Dams
double only sent Nash to third, and Johnston
few out. Morris made wild throw to third
to nab Nash when there was no chance to nab,
and Nash scored. Brown made q scratch hit,
and Brouthers scored.
In the seventh inning the visitors let them
selves loose after two men were out. Richard
son made single to middle, Kelly made a
double in the same direction and Nash sent out
the third ball in that way and made three bases
on it. Then Brouthers with lunge hit the
ball for two bags, and altogether three earned
runs were scored. These were sufficient to
win
The home players scored one in the eighth.
After Beckley was out Maui got his base on
balls and got to third on a double by Fields. A
sacrifice hit by Kuehne sent Maui home. Fol-
lowing is the score:
