Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-09-27

Manager Hanlon and his team could not
reasonably wish for anything easier than
what the Phillies were yesterday. Harry
wright's delegation were never in the hunt
entirely. because they were outplayed at
every stage of the game. Whatever terrors
the people from the Quaker City may have
had for the local talent in the past, they
were just as nice as the most delicious pie
yesterday. They did not put up their best
game, but even if they had they would have
been beaten, because they had not the ghost
of show in yesterdays contest at Recreation
Park.
There were about 500 people present and the
weather was too cool to be pleasant. However,
there were some features in the contest that
made it very enjoyable to see. Probably the
most interesting feature was the performance
of Old Sport Calvin. After good rest he re-
appeared in the box, and actually threatened
to repeat his historic feat of lS7. He nearly
made q home run. He would have done
so had he been able to run as fast as molasses
from jar The old man, however, made
three-bagger and his effort in getting to third
base was so exhausting that Miller delayed the
game until Jeems was restored to his wonted
Ugor.
THE VETERAN IN LUCK.
But the veteran was not only in luck as far
as his three-bagger was concerned, but he also
made the circuit of the bases on a wild throw
by Mulvey. He also pitched fine game, and
altogether it was the old mans day.
In the early part of the game it did look as if
Jeems was going to be mark for the Philadel-
phia sluggers. In the second inning the first
three men at bat made each a good
and clean single, filling the bases. This
looked blue, indeed, but the old man
braced himself up and not run was made.
The first man. Clements, was nabbed at the
plate by brilliant display Of fielding on tho
part of Dunlap. Calvin struck another out
and the third was put out at first But Calvin
never received better support in his life than
he did in yesterdays game. Every member of
the team did everything well that they were
asked to do. Not an error was made. The in
field did very well indeed and SO did the out
field.
The visitors put up a very shaky game.
Gleason commenced to pitch, and retired after
completing the third inning. This was sur
prise, as only three hits had been made of his
delivery; but theT were all recorded in the
third inning. He did It appear to be weak
ening but his support was bad. Anderson sue
ceeded him, and did fairly well. However, he
took in hand a hopeless task if his intentions
were to defeat the home talent. He is Aft-

man played wretchedly, the former making
two or three very disastrous mistakes.
HALLMAN's wRETCHED MUFF..
In the first inning, when two men were out
Beckley made single to center field and White
got his base on balls. Fields then knocked up a
pop fly to Hallmar. 1t was one of the easiest
kind to catch, and Hallman got it into his
hands, and let it drop Roars of laughter greet

and he scored on a single by Myers.
The third inning was lively one for the
home players White led off with two-bagger
to left field and Fields struck out Hanlon's
70 sacrifice seat White to third and Sunday got his
base on balls. Billy stole second and Dunlap
sent in the two runs by two-6agger to right
field. Old Sport Calvin then loomed up and
knocked grounder to Mulvey The latter got
the ball all right, and as Dunlap was approach
ing the fielder attempted to touch Dummy out
The latter. however, in very tricky way
lodged back and there was nobody at second
base. Mulvey was then compelled to throw
to first swiftly to head of Calvin, who was
struggling to that point. Mulvey, in his worri-
ment, threw the ball over Farrar's head into
the bleaching boards and Calvin ran and puffed
his way home amid cheers.
ANOTHER GOOD INNING.
In the fifth inning Hanlon led off with
single TO right field and dreached second on SUM-
days sacrifice. Dunlap got his base on balls
and both runners were advanced stage by a
wild pitch. Then old Calvin again doomed up

reached home on the hit, but the old sport was
happy to reach third, where he sat cheerfully
down on the bag to mop his brow. After he
had regained his wind he showed little more
of his sprinting by scoring on Miller's sacrifice
hit
Anderson settled down for the next three
innings and pitched well. In the ninth, how.

and hit to right field, and by speedy sprinting
he reached second on the hit. Dunlap then
