that the historic Quaker gave to his SON was
B, sautifulIy seen in yesterdays bali game at
Re creation Park between the home aggre-
Q. ltion and Anson's youths. The old sage
! eferred to said to his son when the latter
, vas about to face the chilly and hustling
world for himself:
my son, get money. Get it honestly if
thou can; but get it.
In baseball runs count more effectively
than anything else. How they are made
does not affect the result as far as victory is
concerned, and the local representatives
took the full benefit of this condition yes
terday. While Captain Adrian and his
well-tutored team were humping the ball
all round to score tally, the home players
were lodging across the plate in quite
another fashion, keeping the hits for more
convenient season. The fact that the home
talent made five runs and the other fellows
only four was all that was desired and Umpire
Lynch did not stop to analyze the comparative
worth of the methods of run getting.
Probably no man was ever more ruff1ed in
temperament than Adrian. To say that there
was ripple on the serenity of his mind would
not express the condition. There was bois-
crowd display of his ol5-time kicking. There
was indeed, any amount of reason for his en-
phatic displays.
WHY ANSoN KICKED.
Not that Umpire Lynch was astray, but be-
cause nobody knew better than the ''Old Man.
that his team was batting winning game and
that only fragrant mistakes were running all
prospects of victory. For once his kicking cost
him and his eollearues a ry1n and rrOhahlv he
game. The incident was an amusing one and
will not readily be forgotten by those who saw
it. 1t was in the sixth inning. Maui had made
hit and was at first base. Beckley was at bat
and SILVER Flint dropped pitched ball close
at the plate. Big Jake commenced to dance
around and whoop, evidently TO lead Flint to
believe the ball was among his [Beckley's) feet.
'Old Silver" took the bait, and before he knew
the ball was in another direction Maui was
safely at second. Oh, my! but that ratified the
old captain, and with a majestic stride and
stern countenance he came in to argue the
question with mpire Lynch. Amid the wran-
gle Maui lodged toward third, and Gumbert
foolishly threw the hall to second base when
no fielder was there. Maui continued until he
crossed the home plate, and the run counted.
Anson stopped to argue no longer, and gave
little or no demonstration of his methods of
objecting during the balance of the game.
The attendance was about 50O The weather
was damp and chilly, but the contest was, in
many respects, exceedingly interesting. Ad.
Gumbert, the athletic young gentleman from
the fashionable regions of the East End, was
in the box for the visitors and he did well.
NOT GUMBERT's FAULT.
It was no fault of his that victory did not
perch on Chicago's banners. He pitched like
an old-timer all during the game; he was a
4l,,@ e1,,
solve. He showed great speed, and put curves
across the plate that were puzzlers. The sup
port gwen him was shakey, to say the least of
It. Not run was earned off his pitching. so
that he needs the sympathy Of the cranks more
than. anything else. Farrell, Ryan and Duffy
each made hagrant errors, a circumstance
somewhat singular for these men.
S:aley pitched for the local team. During
the first four or five innings he was something
of mark for the Western batters. and it
looked as if he was going to be battered out of
the box. He pulled himself together. and dur
ing the latter half of the game Anson and his
men couldn't touch him. In the last inning he
struck the side out amid ringing cheers. Mil
Ter caught good game, and the fielding was
first-class, Hanlon particularly playing well
Kuehne was the only one who tarnished the
record with an error, and it was in the last in
ming. when two men were out. Burns popped
up little fly 10 Kuehne, and William was so
positive he had it in his hand that it dropped
60 the ground. Lynch umpired good game.
The home players were the first to make a
mark. Hanlon was sent to first called balls
and reached second on a passed ball. Maui
struck out but Beckley sent the ball bang
against frst base. The ball few upin the air
and before Anson could touch the base with it,
Beckley was there. This sent Hanlon to third.
Dunlap made neat sacrifice to Pfeffer and
Anson, and Hanlon scored Carroll few out to
Ryan.
The sixth inning was reached before another
run was made. 1t was Tailed by Maui as stated
above.
MORE RUNS MADE.
In the seventh another was scored Miller
led of and reached first on a tumble of Duffy,
He stole third aided by passed ball. Kuehne
few out to Pfeffer and Smith raped out sin
gle to center field. Miller going to third. Staley
went out foul fly and Hanlon brought
Miller home by corking hit over second base.
The eighth inning was the great one, as the
winning run was made then. Beckley began it,
and went to first on a muffed fly by Farrell
Dunlap few out to Pfetfer. and Carroll few out
to Farrell. Little George Miller, however
turned the fortunes of the day. He came up
with his little bat and thumped out a splendid
single to center. This sent Beckley to thIrd.
Willie Kuehne came and yanked out another
corker 20 center. Ryan fumbled the ball.
Beckley scored easily, and the tumble sent
Miller to third. He struggled on, and wild
throw home by Ryan enabled Miller to score
the vim -: run.
The visitors made their first two runs in the
second inning. After Anson was out Pfeffer
hit out single and stole second a passed
ball. Farrell made single and Pfeffer scored,
Farrell going to second on the play Gumbert
made hit and Farrell scored. Singles by An
son, Pfeffer, Farrell and Gumbert Secured two
more runs in the fourth, and no more were
