ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
BOSTON, September 5.-The Bostons tried
hard to throw up the leadership to-day, but
the fates were against any such proceeding,
and, as the Giants were also defeated, the
Bostons are still on top. They were beaten
out of their boots by the Pittsburg players,
who seemed to take iendish delight in rub
bing it into the fallen Bean Eaters. The
drubbing which the latter received was as
emphatic as it was painful, and, although
there were several close decisions against
the home club, they cannot lay their defeat
at the feet of the umpire. The Bostons
played losing game from the start, and lost
courage when the visitors took the lead in
the first inning. The game was decided in
that inning, and the succeeding eight in
nings only added to the agony. The play
ing of the home nine was painfully weak
when contrasted with the dashing work of
the visitors. The latter played ball for all
the game was worth, fielding and batting like
champions. The veterans Calvin and Rad
bourn were pItted against each other, and Gal
win landed on top.
THE BATTING WAS HEAVY.
The batting was about even SO far as base
hit column shows but the Boston hits were too
scattered to be of much USE The Pittsburg
slusgers not only punched their hits, but they
also gathered in a couple of home runs and a
hree-bagger, all of which had demoralizing
effect upon the Bean Eaters. Kelly was unable
TO play owing to an injury received yesterday,
and he appointed Dan Brouthers captain pro
TEN; perhaps it was that fact that upset the
Boston players and left them helpless. Brown
made his first appearace in nearly month, but
he did nothing to show that his lsy-off had been
beneficial. Quinn was suffering from dose of
rattles, and couldn't seem TO pick up the ball
Nash, however, made some brilliant stops.
Rowe and White carried off the fielding honors
for the Pittsburgs, and Rowe's batting was also
a feature. Richardson did some pretty hitting
for the Bostons but ne spoiled the effect of two
hits by miserable base running. The crowd
numbered but l,9l7 the smallest attendance of
the season.
A CHEERING START.
When Richardson opened the game with
single everybody thought it augured well for
the success of the home team. They held that
opinion only half an inning. A sacrifice and
Nash's hit gave Richardson chance to score
fhn frcf a
cheer from the 1900 persons present. In less
than five minutes the cheers had changed into
a groan. Radbourn opened the Pittsburg
game with wild effoTs to get the bal over the
plate and Carroll walked to first base, Rowe
showed his contempt for Boston BY trying to
kill Smith, the bean eating shortstop. The
ball banged smartIy against his shins and
landed out near the bleacheries Smith nursed
his shins while Nash ran for the ball and
Carroll improved the opportunity to reach
third. Beckley tried to dispose of Quinn in
like manner, but the latter handled the ball
properly and threw it to the plate III time to
put out Carroll The latter lodged back and
fourth until he saw Rowe on third and Beckley
on second and then he gave up the hopeless
task of trying to escape Radbourn had
another nervous fit and Deacon White walked
TO first after vainly waiting for a good ball.
With the bases full
FIELDS MADE HIMSELF SOLID
with the management by lining out hot one
past Smith. bringing in Rowe and Beckley.
This success seemed to make him careless. for
while he was thinking of the hit, Radbourne
caught him mapping at first base. Miller, whose
coaching had been the life of the game, showed
that he could bat as well as talk by lifting the
ball over the left fence for home run, and as
he trotted home behind White he was greeted
with hearty applause. Miller is quite favorte
walk of with the honors if they were to 60 to
any outsider. Maui showed that he too. had
on his batting clothes by sending the bali flying
into right center for three bases. Dunlap
made an effort to bring him home. but couldn't
get the ball out of Quinn's reach. When the
inning closed the Bostons defeat staring
them in the face and each succeeding inning
only strengthened the feeling that they were to
receive their third successive trouncing.
THEY TOOK A REST.
Both mines took rest in the second inning
and the third also resulted in blank, although
the Bostons got in two hits. Richardson had
the first, but 1t was a fly to short right field,
and be was easily thrown out when he at
tempted to make two bases on it. 1t was In
the fourth that the unequal nature of the con-
test was again vivldly portrayed. The Bostons
sized up CALVIN for two hits, and on these aided
by sacrifice. Quinn hustled across the plate |
with Boston's second run. But ii the baseball |
formance they suffered relapse when the Wis |
itOrs got their whack at the bail. Maui threw !
some spell of witchcraft over Rad and received |
a present of the first bag Camel, who had |
been unjustly called out at second in the first |
half of the inning had not recovered his CON-
posure, and when Maui tried to purloin second |
Camel threw the ball high over Smiths head, |
then Dunlap, seeing that the Bostons were rat |
tied, hit to Quinn. His surmIse was |
correct Quinn fumbled the ball until Maui |
had reached third and then threw wildly to cut |
off Dunlap. The result was a run for Maui and |
Dunlap reached second base. Calvin sacri- |
feed his chances and advanced Dunlap to |
third, by hitting a slow one to Nash. Dunlap !
played of too far, and he would have been |
caught if Camel had thrown accurately, but |
he did not, and Dunlap was safe. Carroll lifted |
the ball far into center field and Johnston 1
caught it, but he couldn't throw it to the plate,
and Dunlap scored easily AS if to clinch mat
ters Rowe sent the ball flying through hole |
IN the right field fence for home run, and |
Beckley made RAIDS hair raise g few degrees |
by lining the bali into right center for single. /
Then the visitors thought they would take |
little exercise in the field, and Deacon White /
closed the inning by giving Quinn an easy |
bounder.
SOME GOOD PITCHING.
Both pitchers did some good work in the fifth
and sixth innings, and Calvin kept it up in the
seventh. But the pace was too hot for Rad
bourn, and he weakened in the last of the |
seventh. Rowe led off with single, Beckley |
struck out much to his own disgust and RAIDS
delight. But White made up for it by landing |
