NEW YORK, September 3.-There was
joy in the camp of the worlds champions
during the game with the Pittsburg team
to-day when it became known that the
Bostons had lost. A cheer from the speeta-
tors was the first indication of the good luck
that had befallen the New Yorks. When
the boys learned what had happened to the
Beaneaters they redoubled their efforts to
win. Manager Mutrie, who had been
watching the game from the clubhouse
stoop, came over to the grand stand and re-
ceived the good wishes of all present Presi-
dent Day was also happy. The result of the
New York's move up will be to encourage them,
and if there had been any cause for discourage
ment it has now disappeared.
The contest between the New York and
Pittsburg clubs to-day, although sharp and for
the most part well played was, to a large ex-
tent featureless. The New Yorks continued
to play great ball. and the game was
theirs almostfrom the start. Staley was hit
hard and often, and so was Welch, for that
matter, but the number of hits made off the
smiling pitcher was far below those made by
the home team.
WEIGH WAS WELL SUPPORTED.
Welch received much better field support,
too, and he succeeded in keeping the hits scat.
tered for majority of the innings. The visit
ors found his curves rather lively IN the sixth
inning. and for a time it looked as though they
were going to do him up, but after two singles
and double had been made off him he settled
down and kept the boys guessing.
The team has shown that they can play ball
with or without Captain Ewing, and there is
lead, Notwithstanding their hard luck and Bos-
toms good luck. Brown did good work behind
the bat, and, although he was slow, the visitors
did not seek to steal many bases on him. Ew-
ing injured the middle finger of his right hand
in the morning game on Monday, and for that
reason could not play. He would not have
done much better at the bat than the long
catcher did. Brown brought in three runs by
his timely hitting, while clever steal to Sec
ond enabled fourth man to score. Timely
hitting gave the home team good lead in the
third inning and they were never beaded.
THE BOYS SCORED FIRST.
The visitors were the first to score. After the
New Yorks had been disposed of in the first
inning the Smoky City boys began with a short
bunt by Rowe toward first. He beat the ball
to the base and Beckley followed with clean
to third The side should have then been retired
without run. Carroll struck out A passed
ball by Brown while Fields was at the bat let
Rowe score and sent Beckley to second A
wild throw by Ward gave Fields life and put
Beckley on third. Fields stole second and
White filed the bases by hitting an easy
grAunder past Welch that could not be handled.
With three on bases Miller fouled to Brown
and Krehne flied to Conner. O'Rourke got in /
a two-tagger after two were out in the second,
but did no good. Two bases on balls for tha
visitors in their half of the second were of no
more use than the New York's two bases.
SOME SCRATCH HITTING.

tion of scratch hitting. Welch opened with a /
