ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
CLEVELAND, O., June l0.-Long before the
termination of to-days game the sun had dis
appeared In cloud of Cuyahoga Valley SCOT
and coal smoke and the chattering spafrows
were fitting about in dress attire paying their
evening calls. Twelve smoking hot innings
had to be played to finish before victory
perched on the banners of the Cuyahoga
county delegation, and when it did roost,
friends and fellow citizens, there was a long,
loud and continual roar of delight from the
throats of several hundred representative
kpeople. In every respect, viewed from all
angles and all attitudes it was the finest played
game of the season, and one Of the very best
tnat was ever played in this city. 1t was that
type of game about which grandpapas in the
far-away future will tell the youngsters was
''tit" when grandpapa was young with lung
capacity to be compared only to a blacksmith's
bellows of many cubic feet in dimension. The
man who is always
LOOKING FOR A BARGAIN
was in his element He got twelve innings at
the customary price of nine. The
game was characterized by a VIM
and dash that gave grave grounds for
suspicion that the players had all been nibbling
ginger root. Both the Pittsburgs and Cleve-
lands are ninble and lively on their feet on
ordinary occasions, but it seemed to-day as if
their power of rapid transit had increased
about 100 per cent.
The game started just as naturally as all
others. Walter Fessenden, with his soda water
suit, called out play ball." and up marched
diminutive Mr.. Stricken. He made the &C
quaintance of Uncle" Ned Hanlon by means
of a long fly to center field, and that settled
him. Doughty "Jeems'' Calvin had pitched
two bad balls to McAleer, and raising his
brawny hand on high he drove the ball through
with an erratic inshoot that paralyzed the nerve
centers in McAleer's elbow. INC" trotted to
base one, rubbing the injured member Hadn't
time to think how badly he was hurt for Nc
Kean drove the first ball pitched to him right
for single. McAleer scampered to third and
while Sunday was playing for him, Mexican, by
DAsHING BASE RUNNING,
reached second. Twitchells sacrifice scored
McAleer and a wild pitch sent in Mexican.
Faatz few out to Smith.
In the third Beatin was not long in being
retired on his hit to Dunlap. Smith sprinted
like wild deer after Stricker's fly to left and
caught it beautifully. Then Jimmy Calvin had
the misfortune to hit McAleer in the same
Aleer's arm was really badly injured, but he
stuck the game out. Mexican followed with a
base hit as in the first inning, and the play
was duplicated, McAleer going on third. A
visible commotion in the neighborhood of left
field fence followed Larry TwitchelPs effort
with the ball, and two runs were in, with
Twitchell on third when the smoke, of the
heavy firing cleared away. Faatz drove a siz-
zling liner to center and Twitchell scored. This
was the end of the Clevelands' run-gettlng un-

third and scored on Sutcliffe's fly to left field.
Fessenden declared Faatz out for leaving the
base before the ball had been caught. but Mr..
Fessenden was grossly in the wrong, as all the
men in the bear pit will testify, for they had
their eyes fixed on Faatz to see what he was
about to do. The loss of this run really made
the game one of IL innings. Id the llth Te-
beau led off with two-base hit and Sutclitfe
followed it with a single. But there they sat
and waited while three men ignominiously per-
ished at the hands of the enemy.
The Pittsburgs let it be said at this point.
made their runs by timely and beautiful hitting.
Every individual score of the quintet they
got was earned squarely on its merits. Hanlon
retired In the beginning of the sixth, owing to
indisposition and Carroll took his place. He
must have been
A MASCOT, DEAD SURE.
Up to this time the Pittsburgs had made, but
two hits off Beatin. Kuehne was first at the
bat and struck out. Carroll made a single and
Miller duplicated it, sending Carroll to third,
from whence he came home on Beckley's sacri-
fee.
In the eighth Carrolrs two base hit and
Beckley's single scored Pittsburg another
earned run. In the ninth they made a grand
rally and as pretty batting squirt as anyone
could ask to look at Smith was first at the bat
and smashed triple way out by the fence.
Kuehne's single scored him and Carrolls
double scored Kuehne Miiler's double scored
more runs during the game. In fact, she never
had chance to, for the men dropped in easy
one, two, three order from that time out
A WILD West SHOW.
In the first half of the twelfth Cleveland
gave wild west' exhibition that would make
the Sioux Indians crazy with envy. Mexican
got his base on balls, but Twitchells hit to third
forced him out. Calvin was getting trlie
unsteady and hit Faatz in the back. Then
Paul Radford, bless him, smashed as pretty
single out to center as anyone could ever want
to look at, and down the homestretch came
Twitchell with the winning run. Tebeau fol.

ity; Carroll fumbled it a while, and while doing
so Faatz and Radford scored The ball was
thrown in to Jimmy Calvin, who tried to catch
Tebeau at second and threw wild, permitting
Tebeau to make circuit of the bases The
Clevelands went out shortly after without max
ing any more runs.
Sunday played magnificent fielding game
for Pittsburg. and Carroll and Miller batted
finely. It's useless to try to pick out one
Clevelander who did better than another. They
all played SO well and evenly that there's no
choice. Perhaps that's one secret of suceess
