Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-09-25

Although the game yesterday at Recrea-
tion Park between the home team and the
men from Washington was not one of the
brilliant kind, it was brim full of inter-
esting features. 1t was one of those con-
tests that in many respects remind one of
the good old times when everybody wanted
to see the ball flying round the field and
runs coming In. There was precious little
science about the game, but the 600 or 700
people who saw it enjoyed themselves all the
same Maui pitched for the home team and
Krock was twlrling for the visitors. The un-
certainties of the former and the pounding ad-
ministered to the latter kept everybody in good
humor.
The visitors were badly beaten as far as re-
suits 60, and after the game had proceeded an
inning or two were never in the hunt although
they threatened to make a dangerous rally at
one stage. However. the game they put up
was far from the standard of the local men.
Without doubt the visitors had an idea that
Albert Maui would, metaphorically speaking,
be pie for them. At one time it really looked
as if he would. and the spectators almost gave
up all hope of victory. Maui pitched in a very
deceptive way.
MAUL's EASY STYLE.
His style was such that it caused everybody to
got through all right, though at times some
what shaky. The visitors could not take much
liberty with him, and it may be that Manager
Hanlon's prediction to the effect that he
will be frst-class pitcher will
come out all right. Maui certain
ly needs steadying. He has some very
effective curves and excellent speed. 1t GER
tainly seems as if it would be better to give
him a thorough test than to waste time and
known youngsters.
Krock, the ex-Chicagoan, was thumped hard
indeed, but it is only fair to say that his sup
port was very bad. OF course, the error col
umn does not represent large amount of mis-
takes but, for instance, six runs were made in
the fourth inning by hard hitting after the side
should have been out. This certainly is very
tough. indeed, on pitcher. STILL however. the
fact remains that he battered good and
hard. This heavy hitting pleased the crowd,
and anything that pleases invariably is at
tractive.
The visitors were first to score. In the sec
ond inning, after Wise had made a single,
Arthur Irwin got his base on balls and each
runner was advanced stage by a wild pitch.
Mack sent grounder to Rowe. and the latter
threw Wise out at the plate. Mack stole sec
ond aided by passed ball. Clark's long fly to
Sunday allowed Irwin to score the run.
SIZED UP KRoCK.
The home players in the next inning, began
to size up Krock. Maui led off with a two
bagger to left, and scored on Miller's single in
the same direction. Rowe's sacrifice sent Mil
Ter to second, and after Beckley had gone out
on fly to Hoy the venerable Deacon banged
the ball over Hoy's head for three bases. The
visitors, in their half also got down TO hard
work. After Krock had been retired at first
J. Irwin got his base on balls and reached Sec
ond on Hoy's sing-e. Irwin stole third and
Hoy got to second. Both runners scored on
Wimots three-bagger to right. Wise struck
out and Wilmot tailed on A. Irwin's single.
The score was now 4 to in favor of Washington,
eut in the sixth inning the local sluggers settled
tne question of victory defeat by scoring six
ruhs. Hdnlon led off with a scratch single and
Sunday made a successful bunt. Dunlap's
sacrifice advanced both men base. and Maui
knocked a grounder to A. Irwin. who made
bad throw to the plate, and Hanlon scored
Miller went out on a foul fly to ]. Irwin.
SOME HEAVY HITTING.
Rowe then made a single, sending Sunday
home and Beckiey's three-bagger to the left
fence allowed Maui and Rowe to score White
followed up with double to left and BeckIey
tailed. Then Jocko Fields sent the Deacon
home on a double to left Ranlon came to the
plate for the second time, but was retired at
first.
In the fifth inning Sunday led of with a
single to left, and scored on Dunlapis two

to third, and he scored on ]. Irwin's tumble of
Miller's grounder after Maui was out Rowe
knocked long fly to Wilmot, who fumbled it
and Miifer went to third and Rowe to second.

eighth inning, after two men were out, Hanlon |
got his base on balls and Sunday hit for sin
gle and stole second. Dunlap made double |

In the sixth inning the visitors became a little
troublesome. Riddle led off with a two bagger
to center field and krock got his base on balls. |
]. Irwin then sent Riddle home by single, |
Krock getting to third. Hoy's sacrifice sent |
kreck home. Maui fumbed Wimot's |
grounder, and the latter got safely to first and
J. Irwin TO second. Wise made a double, Irwin |
scoring and Wilmot reaching third. A Irwin |
then knocked foul fly over to the left field |

however, scored before the Deacon could throw
the ball to the home plate. This ended the |
