ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrArcH.l

BOSTON, September 6.-It was evident
that the Bostons had heard the riot act be-
fore going upon the field to-day. They
played better ball than has been seen this
week and won the game by one of their old
time spurts of batting. The Pittsburgs,
elated by their success yesterday, played
winning game to-day, and but for Staley's
weakening in the seventh would have shut
out the Bean Eaters. They played a fault
less game, the battery alone being respons-
ible for errors. The players of 10th mines
seemed to vie with each other in making
brilliant stops, throws and catches, and
ripple Of applause followed nearly every
crack of the bat. For six innings the scorer
hung up goose egg at the end of every
half inning and everybody wondered when
the break would come. Clarkson and Staley
were doing magnificent work. The latter evil
IDENTIFY depended upon his felders for he
pitched ball that was invariably sent into the
air.
KEPT CARROLL BUSY.
The sky was full of flies and fouls whenever
the Bostons were at the bat Carroll had plenty
of work and in six innings he retired of the
Is batsmen. Nash hit safely in the fourth, but
order in six innings. The playing of the Pitts
burgs was absolutely without flaw. In those
same innings the visitors kept the Bostons
hustling They hit the ball hard and Nash.
Quinn and Smith received credit for some re-
markable stops and throws. There was
wrangle at the opening of the game over
change in the batting order of the Pittsburgs.
Hanlon's name was at the head of the column,
but at the last minute he decided not TO play
and Maui was substituted. but instead of lead
ing the batting Maui was given seventh position
and Miller was moved up to the head. Kelly
kicked, but it did him no good and Miller took
command of the Pittsburg batting forces.
MILLER MADE A HOT ONE.
He proved his worth by lining hot one into
Kelly's territory and lucky bound of the ball
enabled him to reach second base and the
crowd howled at Kelly's discontinue. With
Rowe out of the way Beckley reached first on
an egregious muff by Pop Smith and the
chances of a run were very good. But Kelly
attended to CarrolI's fly and White couldn't
send the ball out of Quinn's reach and the two
base runners were left. In the fourth the visi-
tors again came near scoring. but dn't. In
this inning Umpire McQuaid got into hot water
by making two bad decisions, one against each
club, and all the players took a hand in kicking
him, metaphorically speaking. With Carroll
and White disposed of Fields lifted the ball far
down into right field, and after touching second
base kept On toward third.
JUMPED ON THE UMPIRE.
Nash got the ball in time to touch him out
and did so when he was more than foot from
the base, although Fields made beautiful
slide for the goal. When Umpire McQuaid
said mot out" there was a chorus Of protests
from the diamond and bleacheries and it did
not take many seconds to convince the umpire
that he had made a mistake. But he couldn't
change his decision and Fields got ready to
score. Maui hit hard one toward second base,
which Quinn stopped, but he could not recover
in time to throw the batsman out the latter
clearly reaching first ahead of the ball, while
Fields crossed the plate. But McQuaid yelled
"out" and was Immediately surrounded by the
PittsDurg players who argued in vain Tor a
change of the decision.
THAT TERRIBLE SEVENTH.
The umpire found it hard work to suit every
body. In the sixth, with two men out Carroll
and White took little squirt at batting, but
Fields was unable to duplicate his long hit, and
another chance to score was lost Then came
the bloody" seventh inning. in which the Bean
Eaters reveled IN gore Three singles and three
two-baggers, with the assistance of wild pitch
ing, enabled the Bostons to score five runs,
three of them being earned After that inning
the game was practically over, although the
Pittsburgs had man on second in the seventh,
and on third in the ninth. White made two
bagger in the ninth after Carroll had fed out
10 Kelly, but Fields and Maui were unable to
break the ice, and the ninth consecutive goose
