4 LITTLE LIVELY HITTING.
NEW YORK is NOW IN THE LEAD.
LEAGUE AND ASSOCIATION GAMES.

There was a grand change all around yes-
terday. Because of the game here Boston
is now in second place, and Pittsburg is
once more ahead of indianapolis. Mr..
Kelly was a very much disguised citi-
zen last evening.
Every individual or aggregation of indi-
viduals on this earth has a mission of
some kind to fulfil. If this is not true, then
all the philosophy ofpoets and philosophers
falls to the ground, and the Pittsburg Base
ball Club has no right to exist at all.
Modern history has shown clearly that the
baseball aggregation is very important
factor in baseball affairs. Not because of
any likelihood of Its bringing first honors;
not at all. There's no fear of that But
the delegation have certainly been ordained
to blight and blast the hopes of others.
That's where we are very important people.
All the aspirations Of very ambitious peo-
pie can be knocked into the shape of a three
cooked hat when they strike this town. This
has been the lot of Chicago and hosts of other
would-be champions. The local unaccounta-
bles stopped the wheels of the big fellows from
Boston Yesterday and knocked them out of
the premier's position of the League struggle,
STILL IN THE RING.
After an act of that kind the world must
know that we are still in the ring: though
slightly used up at that However, genial
Jeems Mutrie long before his head was laid on
his last nights, or it may be this mornings
pillow, would be proud of the fact that Pitts
burg is still in fighting condition, notwithstand-
ing the krock downs she has suffered since
May last. IL truth. the local team beat Boston
yesterday, and beat the aspiring champions
very badly at that After the game the gen.
eral question was: How in the world has Pitts
burg ever managed to lose a game to Boston?
query like this coming after Pittsburg has
scored its first victory in II games may seem
sarcastic and even frivolous. But some cranks
attach an earnestness to it, and after they have
seen yesterdays game it will take all the logic
of Whateley and the mathematics of Euclid to
convince them other than the thought that
Boston ought to have been beaten almost every
game this season by Pittsburg.
However. all argument aside it is great
pleasure indeed to beat aspiring lot of men
like Boston. There is more pleasure in it to
the cranks than there is to politicians who
change the politics of a locality like the First
ward. This pleasure was reaped yesterday to
the Queens TASTE and for once there ought to
be some lasting monument of the occasion by
the New York people. All that we need is
encouragement and we'll maks somebody else
win what we cannot get ourselves. Even this
is: not dog-inthe-manger business, because,
after all is said we do want the hay-that is,
the pennant-but we cannot getIt
LOOK OUT FOR PITTsBURG.
We cannot get it now. With this fact before
the world, let the world look out for the part
the Pittsburg delegation will play in knocking
to shivereens the chances Of other people.
Yesterdays game, that is. the result of it, was
a genuine surprise to those who don't know
what the Pittsburg players have up their sleeve.
Previous to yesterday they had met Boston IL
times, and never scored a victory. If they had
it probably would never have been thought of
in the worlds history. The victory was de-
ferred until it was impressive, and now all
records will say that on a certain day of the
month Pittsburg beat Boston, apd knocked the
latter out of the League championship pen
nant There is history at once, and we'll claim
our very significant part of it, and. no doubt,
Mutrie, Ewing and Day will pay for..it.
But to the game. 1t was good one, and no
mistake about it. Ola Jeems once more was a
youngster full of fun, power and tricks OH
bot he cut the big men of Boston down as a
shearer would the waving corn at harvest time.
The old sport was out for a lark, and he not
only brought tears to the eyes of the visitors
by his frivolity but contributed materially to-
ward knocking young Daley out of the box.
The youth was fairly batted out of that some.
what imaginary inclosure, and probably he was
glad to get out of it. Radbourne, the new
Charley Ross reappeared, and did not make
great success either. The home talent was too
tough, and likely enough If all the men now
under contract by Boston, including Billings,
had been in the box, the result would still have
been defeat. Captain Kelly knew this, and
made the remark to Captain Hanlon:
KELLY's WISE PHILOSOPHY
"Why, we never complain Of being beaten
like this This is the way to beat us."'
Late last evening Captain Kelly wired Bill
ings TO the effect that it would be advisable to
buy the Pittsburg club out at once if Boston
desires the pennant. But the local teams vic
tory not only dragged Boston. but put itself up
into sixth place again, and that is worth
another cheer
As stated, Calvin both pitched and hit well.
Only five hits were made off him, and he had
double and a triple Daley was wild and easy
TO hit now and again. He was taken out of the
box at the end of the fourth inning. and Rad
bourne took his place.
Two bases on halls, a sacrifice hit and a
tumble by Richardson sent in the first run A
base on balls. a stolen base and a wild throw by
Smith sent Carroll home In the third inning.
The fourth was corker. as hve runs were
made. Kuehne and Dunlap each got their
bases on balls and Calvin sent them home by
a two-bagger to left field. Miller got his base
on balls and he and Calvin advanced base
on Carrolrs sacrifice. Rowe's double to right
sent both Calvin and Miller home. A sacrifice
and a single sent Rowe home.
Radbourne started TO pitch in the fifth and
Dunlap's single, Galvin's three-bagger and a
that ended the run getting. Following is the
