GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

There is some old adage to the effect that
Doubtless that old adage was a freside
maxim when the Indians were on our
borders, and when for revenge some feather
capped piece of humanity would kick or
chew a dead poodle just to satisfy himself
that he was ruler for once. The ball game
yesterday at Recreation Park was one that
begets sympathy more than criticism. The
glaring fact that Philadelphia ought to be
better stands out very prominent. Phila-
delpbia ought to be better, of course, every
body will say, but isn't it a streak that the
Pittsburgs have won four straight from Phila-
delphia.
The fact is there were no more streaks about
the Pittsburgs losing in the past than there
is about The losing of the PhilIies. Depend
upon it that old man Harry Wright is
NOT OUT FOR ANY LARK.
He is out for what his nets can catch every
hour and every day in the week. 1t may be
true that the good old man whose hair has be-
come gray in the business, has been sadly
fooled in his first trip to Pittsburg this year.
That is no fault If the citizens of this vicinity
of law and order. We are always lying in wait
mark of us. AT best the Philadelphia ball
club can only get one game out of five. If we
cannot say a word or two about ourselves be-
cause of four straight with the Phillies Victo-
ries don't amount to much.
However the local team beat the visitors
yesterday in a very easy manner The stran-
gers were shut out, and that certainly ought to
take all interest out of the game. Yesterdays
shut-out was the third since Friday. Think of
that The shut-out was not because the other
people were not interested. They had Bufing-
ton in the box and that broad-shouldered man,
Clements, caught him. Be it said that Glenn
ents amid his mistakes, was a very useful
man.
HANLON'S GOOD START.
In the first inning Hanlon left all sympathy
behind and banged out a double to left The
ball fell just where it was bothersome. Nobody
seemed to know who was nearest to it, and
HanIon reached second base before the ball
was returned Sunday reached first a fun
BILE by the second baseman, but had Schrlver
gotten the ball perfectly b anlon would still
have scored; therefore Sunday was credited
with a sacrifice hit Carrolrs fly to Thompson
brought in Hanlon, and Dunlaps single
brought in Sunday.
In the third, when Kuehne had made a hit,
and had died at second on Smiths short ground
er, Fields made a corking two-bagger to the
left field. and that sent Smith to third An
error by Clements allowed the run to score. In
the eighth inning things were ridiculous. Han
Ion led off with three-bagger, and alternately
got home on q wild throw by Clements, Car
rol's base on balls, a stolen base, a passed ball
and a steal altogether netted three runs.
The visitors never looked like scoring. In the
fourth inning they had a man on third but
they were tired out. and Calvin knew it. The
life of the next man was short
McQuaids umpiring was tolerably fair. Fol-
lowing is the score:.
