THIS IS VERY TOUGH.
FesSenden and Hard Luck Beat the
Boys Twice.
BOSTON MAKES A CLEAN SWEEP.
The Babies Down the Giants Again by
More Than Luck.
CHICAGO BEATS THE QUAKER TEAM

To say the least of it there is an irritating
toughness in being downed twice on the
same day in two baseball contests. To be
snuffed out to that extent was the lot of the
home talent yesterday in their two games
| against Boston at Recreation Park. Two
games were played and two discouraging and
chilling defeats were marked up against the
home fellows.
The two games were the result of the rain on
Friday. The price of admission was to the
effect that anybody who wanted to see one
game for so cents could see two for the same
price There were more than 5000 people pres
ent when the first game began, and the crowd
seemed to be one of those crowds made up of
people who are always glad to see each other.
At any rate there were lots of handrubbing
and handshaking, and everybody seemed to
think it blessing to be on ball ground on
such day.
The game started, that is the first game, and
long before it finished, enthusiasts, not only in
expensive boxes, but also in dead-head boxes
said that several of the Boston team were men
devoid of generosity and were even prone to
trickery. The contest went on, and indeed, it
was contest, and the vanquished in that strug-
gle probably deserve, strange to say. as much
praise as those who were presented with the
games. Morris was in the box yesterday and
he was there also on Thursday. He did well
on Thursday but goodness knows Sir Edward
was in line yesterday. The tall stout
and cold fact remains that anybody who
can prevent the Bostons from scoring in nine
innings is what the First ward authorizes will
call dandy. Morris did that yesterday and
the public can depend upon it that Edward had
no picnic in fooling people like big Dan
Brouthers, Richardson, Kelly. etc. These men
ri hair OnlIa oil m O
with bat in their hands when at diamond
plate. Morris, however, settled them all until
the tenth inning, when the fatal swipe came
and the battle was lost and won.
A pitchers battle. as a rule, is not worth
much because of its tediousness, but yester-
days conflict in the first game was an invigor-
ating treat 1t seems safe to say that Clarkson
never pitched better since he was born, and
certainly Morris was out to wrestle with any
problem that might question his art or his
strength. Morris pitched just as he used to do
and as a result the great Boston people couldn't
hit him. On the other hand, Clarkson got
down to work. and he is quite an impressive
man in the box. He was Just as good as Morris
for nine innings, and when the ninth inning
closed neither side had scored run. On! put
the suspense was awful, the suspense was pain
full, and the hopes and fears OF the crowds
seemed to move everybody.
The tenth inning came, however. and that
very TtlDObe duu RcucIdll1 hOb dhblSApdbC0 poA y
of game was there and the visitors scored
that score which meant glory to them and de-
feat to our heroes, who had fought SO long and
well. That young man Quinn was chiefly re-
sponsible for that fatal run. He led off with
double and got to third on Benefits out at
first Then John Clarkson loomed up and really
surprised everybody by making a hit and Quinn
got home. Fessenden's work as umpire was
very seedy, indeed.
The second game was almost as exciting as
the first Old Calvin and Sowders were the
twirlers, and 'Jeems" particularly did well.
The visitors as fortune would have it, led off in
the first inning with two runs. That seemed to
dampen all enthusiasm and quell all good fel-
lowship Brown got his base on balls and John
ston few out to Fields. Then Kelly thumped
out a two-bagger. and Brown landed home.
Brouthers was retired at first. but single by
Richardson brought Kelly in. Nash got his
base on balls, but Quinn was retired at first.
1t was the seventh inning when the visitors
made their second break in rungetting. Can
gel led off with hit and Sowders was out at
first Brown made a hit and an error sent
Sowders tome and Johnston to first Kelly's
second two-bagger brought Johnston home and
that ended all run-getting.
The home players made run in the second.
After Maui was out Sunday made double and
scored on Dunlap's single. Kuehne made a
hit but the next two men went out in order.
In the fifth inning, after Maui was out, Sunday
made another corking two-bagger. Then Dun
lap made hit and Sunday scored The next
two men, however, ended the argument by
going out at first. No more scores were made.
Fessenden's work was again wretched, and may
Justly be termed rotten. Score:
