Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-08-09

After a long but not an unexF Fected ab-
sence Dame Fortune reappeared and perched
herself on Pittsburg's banner yesterday.
This statement does not mean that good
luck or good fortune caused the home vic
tory, it only means that the smiles of the
good old lady somehow or other were be-
slowed on the efforts of the home players.
They played winning game from start to
finish and fairly clipped all the fins from
Mr.. Haddock.
1t is some time since the home team had
such a very pleasant time of it. The result
never seemed in doubt, although in the second
inning the visitors went to the front by one
run. The playing of the two teams, however,
was SO different that the result was foregone
conclusion. The lead was on the side of the
visitors only a very short time, indeed. The
home representatives had on their batting
clothes, and the young man who has been a
puzzle to the great sluggers of Boston recently,
WAS QUITE A MARK
for the irregulars of Pittsburg. Mr.. Haddock's
delivery was sized up quite comfortably and
banged all over the lot. He is a thin and wIry
young fellow. Strength does not seem to be
his great stronghold. but he is wonderfully
speedy and tricky. Yesterday, however, he was
not equal to the occasion, and a longer rest
would probably have made things pleasanter for
him. He was fairly well supported. DAILY,
however. did not do anything brilliant in catch
ing him. The ex-Ansonite at one time became
extremely careless of the result.
Morris was in the box for the home players
and he did we'll He pitched with all his old
time trickery and much of his well-known
speed was shown. HIS pitching was SO effective
that not a run was earned off his delivery.
Carroll caught him very well anG the fielding
was excellent. The attendance was about l.
OOO, the weather was fine and everybody en-
joyed the game because the h nome boys were
winning.
MADE A GOOD START.
The home team made two runs in the first
inning Sunday started ont with a scratch hit,
stole second and reached third on wild throw
OF DAILY. CarrolPs sacrifice hit sent Sunday
home, and Rowe made nice three-bagger TO
center field. The ball few over Hoy's head,
and he fell in turning to run for it. Before he
could get fairly alter the ball Rowe was CON-
fortably at third; he ought to have been at
scored Rowe. In the second inning White led
of with two-bagger to middle field. Dunlap
and Morris both were retired, and Sunday sent
White home on a hit to right.
The third inning was a lively affair. Rowe
led off with a scratch hit. and Miller flew to
Mack. Beckley made hit. and Rowe scored
on kuehne's short grounder. kuehne does
not lay any claim to hot cakes. umbrellas. ETC.,
but his sacrifice hit was a timely one, as Rowe
scored. White made a corking hit, and Dun
lap sent out two-bagger, the total number
of runs SO far being three, and good ones at
that
LOTS OF RUNS.
The sixth inning was the most surprising of
the day. Carroll led off and got his base on
balls. Rowe followed with a good single to
middle and Miller sent Carroll home on a single
to left Miller was retired at second on a short
hit by Beckley and the latter got to first all
right Beckley stole second aided by passed
ball. Kuehne few out to Wise and the latter's
tumble of Whites grounder allowed both
Rowe and Beckley TO score. Dunlap got his
base on balls and a hit by Morris sent in both
White and Dunlap. The latter scored while
Morris was dodging between first and second.
The visitors made run in the first inning
Hoy got his base on balls and got home on a
hit and sacrifice. In the second inning g.
Irwin got to first tumble by Rowe and
DAILY reached second on 4 wild throw by Rowe,
Irwin scoring After two men were out in the
third inning. G. Irwin got first on a life. and
reached second a wild throw by Dunlap.
Days two-bagger sent him home.
After A. Irwin was out in the fifth inning. his
brother got his base on balls and so did DAILY.
A wild pitch advanced each man a base. and a
sacrifice by Carney sent Irwin home. The visi-
tors did not look like scoring again. Curry
umpired good game. Following is the score:
