Sunday is lett out OF the local llSt ana Jones
is reserved. There was an interesting game
between the Pittsburgs and the McKees-
ports.
BROOKLYN, October 19.-The worlds
champions turned the tables to-day on the
Brooklyns, playing steadily and strongly
and outplaying their opponents at all points.
Crane was in the box, and his swift balls
and sharp curves were very puzzling to his
opponents, and hits were few and far be-
tween. The bases on balls were numerous
but not disastrous. The support Of Ewing
was m gni6cent. Crane is acknowledged,to
be one of the hardest men in the country to
face but he handled him finely and di-
rected the movements of his men with
ability. Richardson did some rem arkable
work, and Ward played in way that con-
trasted sharply and advantageously with the
work of the Brooklyn player in the same
position. Cores batting was feature of
the game. The New Yorks stole bases al
most as they pleased, Visner throwing very
poorly He showed up well, however, in his
backstopping. Collins played another perfect
game, but there was little in the play Of the
home club to call for extended notice. 1t was
A TREMENDOUS CROWD
that saw the game. There is probably no
ground in the country so well adapted for the
accommodation of an immense throng. The
attendance of New Workers was very large and
the elevated roads were given great deal to
do. At an early hour the seating capacity of
the grounds was tested to the utmost. After
that the spectators had to find places on the
embankments surrounding the field and some
stood rows deep around the ropes that encircled
the outfield and reached around from first base
to third. The attendance of ladies was very
large and some of the fair sex had to stand up
during the game. The tops of the fences were
lined with enthusiasts and every available spot
from which the game could be seen was occu-
pied. 1t was
AN INTERESTING SIGHT
to see this great throng of 1912 people on
this superb field, 500x30O feet It was an en-
thusiastic crowd and it cheered wildly and up
roariously when the New Yorks left their car
riages at the upper end of the grounds and
marched to their benches. The Brooklyn play
ers themselves could not have had received a
warmer reception. As on yesterday they wore
their white uniforms, with black caps, stock
ings and trimmings. The Brooklyns were
cheered to the echo, as a matter of course.
They wore white suits with red trimmings.
The umpires were Messrs. Gaffney and Lynch.
The former was attired in his neat wine-colored
suit and the latter in the gray suit with the
letter-carrier-liKe cap that is SO familiar to
League crowds. The umpiring was a
FEATURE OF THE CONTEST.
It is safe to say that never was a worlds
championship contest umpired to greater salts
faction. There was scarcely as much as muir
muir at any decision, and it was well shown that
with competent men the double umpire system
is what the game needs and deserves. The
crowd was remarkably quiet and well behaved.
There was plenty of enthusiasm, but the order
and discipline we're most commendable.
The contest began with the New Yorks first
at the bat. 1t was too hot for the home team,
prettiest it requires GOODNESS. hard work and
perfect play to Keep up with them. The Brook
lyns couldn't keep up. 1t is hard to say that
they were
MORE THAN ONCE RATIFIED.
But that was the case. Smith was the great
est sufferer in that respect. He made errors
on plays that any other time would have been
runs, just enough to give the New Yorks that
much of a lead over his team. Visner was in
the same boat with Smith, but he did not make
such costly errors. The other players were much
cooler and handled themselves in better form
than on the day before. The outfelders made
sure work of fly balls, and threw in perfectly
O'Brien and Corkhill did the best work in the
latter respect and Tom Burns did not
do badly by any means. Pinkney had
little little dd chance S ito to show what he
the ball at third, but what he did was well
done, and no one can ask more than that. OF
the whole Brooklyn team. the greatest praise
must go to Caruthers. Bobby pitched well not
withstanding he was hit hard at times. He pre-
vented the hits from being punched, and not an
earned run was made off him. Had his support
been what it should have been the victory
doubtless would have been Brooklyns.
CRANES CYCLoNIC PITCHING.
For the New Yorks side, when it is said that
they outplayed their opponents all around the
whole thing is told. The New Yorks presented
the same team that has SO often been seen on
the Polo Grounds battling for the champion
ship. Ewing was behind the bat, while
Ed Crane did the shooting act. From
the start Ewing kept shouting 'shoot
more speed Crane put into the ball, until the
horse hide in its course made = streak in the
air. Crane was very effective in preventing
hits Only three clean hits we're made off him.
He was quite wild at the start, and it was not
until the third inning that he began to settle
down, but when he was once warmed
up he pitched a. winning ball in every
sense of the word. The people who saw the
way he twisted the ball around the necks of
the opposing batsmen to-day decided that he
had been aptly named the cyclone. and cheered
him with will. Ewing supported him in his
usual fine way, but the great catcher was COM
PEELED to hustle all the time to prevent the ball
from getting away from him or knocking him
to pieces. Score:
