Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-09-29

secutive victory yesterday, nearly shutting
Philadelphia out Boston, with Clarkson
in the box, was just pie for the indianapolis
singers, and New York again leads by a
scant neck, playing tie game with Chi
csgo. Cleveland played twice, winning and
losing.
The Philadelphia club was outplayed in
all directions yesterday, and at no time was
there the slightest prospect of them winning
the game. Scwders was in the box and
Jones on the bench for the local aggrega-
tion, and the former gentleman made a
splendid display of pitching ability, as well
as accomplishing some work at the bat In
fact, up to the eighth inning. the Pittsburg
pitcher alone had as many hits as the entire
Philadelphia club. Four hits, with a total Of
five were all that the visitors secured during
the entire contest.
For the first time in many days Buffinton
tossed the sphere across the plate. He was hit
hard at the right mements. and gave three men
their bases on balls, while Sowders would not
even concede one of his opponents such favor.
Fogarty again distinguished himself in middle
garden, but the fielding feature of the day was
the phenomenal one-hand catch that Thomp-
son made of Sowder's apparently safe liner.
ALMOST PERFECT PLAYING.
With the exception of Deacon White, whose
error was of an excusable nature the Pitts
burg club put up a faultless fielding game.
Hanlon caught some hard flies. and Dunlap
made two excellent backward running catches.
Beckleys work was frst-class. and the double
play accomplished with the aid of White was
of the brilliant order.
Miller was the first man at the bat and hit a
lively grounder to Hallman. VINO threw him
out at first. Rowe gauged Bufinton's delivery
for nice single, and Beckley hit a long fly to
center, but the omnipresent Fogarty got under
it in time White secured a. base on balls, and
Fields retired the side by flying to Fogarty,
after Clements had made square muH OF his
rather easy foul.
Dunlap made a good catch of Delehanty's
short fly, and Myers quit from Rowe to Beck
ley. Thompson hit safely over second base,
but was left at first on Mulvey's high fly to
Beckley. The second inning was decidedly
brief. Hanlon got to base on balls, but was
thrown out by Clements while trying to steal
second. Sunday and Dunlap few out Two
flies to the infield and an out at first sent
Philadelphia to the field.
AHARD HITTING PITCHER.
In the third inning Mr.. Sowders stepped to
the plate and hit safely, but was forced at
second on Miller's life. The latter went to
second on bad throw by Myers, and Rowe se-
cured a base on balls. Beckley advanced each
a base by sacrifice, and both scored on Whites
