MORRIS, THE MONKEY PITCHER,

MONKS, MONKEY PITCHER,
as he is called, he was pie for the home team,
as they slugged the ball about in good shape
Richardson led IN the batting with four singles
out of five times at the bat, while big Bill
Brown was close behind him with two singles
and double. The leading features of the New
Yorks field play were a clever catch by Gore
and one-handed catch of line hit by Connor
The home team did not bat in streaks as they
sometimes do, but hit right along without a
break. In only one inning did they fail to make
hit.
The New Yorks slid right into the lead at the
start off. Gore, the first man up, hit the first
ball pitched to the left center field for two
bases and got third on Tiernan's sacrifice fly
TO Kuehne. Brown nearly knocked Kuehne
silly with grounder to center, on which he got
two bases and Gore scored. Brown got to third
on Connor's out from Rowe to first. The inn
ing then came to a sudden close by Whites
making a phenomenal one-handed stop of
Wards grounder throwing the runner out at
first. The visitors got in two hits in their first
alter two were out, but
POOR ATTEMPT TO STEAL
second by Carroll ended the inning. Nothing
occurred in the second, but in the New York's
third they got on the ball again to the extent
of an earned run. After Gore had been thrown
out at first by Rowe, Tiernan sent daisy cutter
down the right foul line and got three bases on
Il,
Connor struck out and Ward flied to Kuehne.
The home team added two more runs to their
score in the fifth by good hitting O'Day
opened the inning with single to right, went
to second on passed ball, and to third on a
wild throw by Carroll Gore flied TO Miller
TieTnan hit to center for two bases, and ODay
came home. Brown flied to White, and Connor
scored Ternan with hit to right center. Ward
again ended the inning with fly to Dunlap.
The sixth inning produced another run for the
New orks. Richardson opened with hit to
left, and O'Rourke got a base on balls. Sacri-
fees by Whitney and O'Day scored Richard
son, and Crane went out at first from White.
At this point the news came that the Indian
apolis-Boston game stood to 2 in favor of the
Indians, and the crowd felt highly elated.
THEY SCORED AT LAST.
Errors by Ward enabled the visitors to break
the ice in the seventh. Johnny fumbled
grounders by White and Miller, and dunlap
followed with a two-baser to right on which
White scored and Miller got to third. He
afterward scored on a sacrifice by Morris from
Richardson to first kuehne forced Dunlap at
the plate from COnnOr to Brown, and Richard
son threw Rowe out at first. Singles by Ward
Richardson and O'Rourke in the eighth gave
the home club another run. The champions
went right on scoring IN the ninth and added
another run to their credit. Morris threw Tier
nan out at first. Brown HIT to center for base
and stole second on a passed ball. Connor fol-
lowed with double TO right field, scoring
Brown. Ward flied to Kuehne and Richardson
flied TO Dunlap. This ended the run getting on
both sides, for the visitors went out in their
half OF the inning in order. Score:

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DlSPATCH.l
NEW YORK, September 4.-"On for the
flag" is the New Yorks' watchword, while
Manager Mutrie throws out his chest and
remarks: who are the people?" The two
defeats of the Bostons have placed the New
Yorks in the heat of the battle, and since
to-day's game all of the players, even those
who were somewhat faint-hearted ten days
ago, are confident that the champions will
pull out in the lead, with games to spare.
They will pay no attention to the spare
games, however. What they want now are
victories, and they are playing for them.
The work of the team at the present time is
fully equal to that of last season, both at the
bat and in the field. In addition they have four
good pitchers, and if the team will continue to
give ODay and Crane the support that they
gave them yesterday and to-day there is no
reason why these two men cannot win about
every game they pitch.
