ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

IL
CLEVELAND, August Glover 500 mem
bers of the Thirteenth Regiment of Infantry
of Brooklyn went out to see the Clevelands
defeat Hanlon's men from Pittsburg to-day,
but they did not see it done. By invitation
of the company here the visiting National
Guardsmen occupied the grand stand and
cheered the Clevelands on to defeat. Every
brilliant play that the babies made was ap-
plauded loudly, and the Pittsburg players
were treated fairly. The jolly soldiers kept
up a string of talk with the players all
through the game, and the conversation
attracted as much attention as the ball playing.
Notwithstanding all this, it was a fine game.
The Pittsburg team
WON IT ON ITS MERITS,
and by doing it took three straight from the
Clevelands. something of which they may be
proud as the feat is not an easy one. The
Clevelands went to the grounds resolved to
take at least one game. They made desperate
and creditable attempt and died game.
Becldey's big home run drive in the eighth did
the business. He caught the ball near the tip
of the bat. and it began sailing up. McAleer,
in center field, saw that the ball was going to
land behind him, so he began sprinting for tn g
fence. The ball reached the ground while he
was vet ten feet away however and before 1t
could be helded in the big first baseman was
seated on the players bench and wiping his
heated brow with a towel. The soldiers ap-
plauded him heartily for the fine hit. Calvin
pitched the game in
HIS oLD-TIME FORM.
The game opened poorly for Pittsburg
Kuehne could not hold Radford's grounder in
the first and then threw the ball over Beck
ley's head. On the misplay Radford took Sec
ond, and a passed ball gave him third. Stricken
sacrificed, but Radford was held to third by
ROwe's close playing. Mexican. however, sent
out base hit, and lucky Paul scored. Mexican
stole second, and went to third on a passed
ball. While he was doing this Twitchell was
given his base on balls. He was caught off
first but despite the efforts of Beckley, Dunlap
and Rove, reached second safely and allowed
Mexican to reach home.
II was IN the second that Pittsburg began
business. Fields raped a stiff grounder to
center field, and he went to second and third on
outs of Hanlon and Sunday. Kuehne singled
70 center, and Fields ran in with Pittsburg's
first run Dunlap's base on balls advanced
right scoring both men.
CARRoLL'S THREE-BAGGER.
Carroll followed with a three-bagger and
Calvin scored. Rowe stopped the fun by going
out on grounder
In the third inning Calvin couldn't pitch the
ball over the plate while Radford was waiting.
and the right fielder went to first. Strcker's
single advanced him two bases. and McKean's
hit took him home. Twitchelps hit forced Nc
Kean out at second, but Stricken took third
and scored on Tabeau's long d to HanIon.
In the fifth, after GIlks had made an out.
thinner hit to left for three bases. Gruber
could do nothing. but Radford doubled and
scored thinner, and on Fields tumble Radford
took third. He stayed there. however. In
this inning Kuehne raped out a twO-bagger
and went to third on a wild pitch, and home on
a single by Dunlap. There was no more run
getting till the eighth. when Beckley's home
run virtually won the game. Score
