CLEVELAND, June 8.-If anybody in
Cleveland, the most sanguine crank in town,
had wagered that the Clevelands would
take three straight from Pittsburg, he would
have been hooted at for his pains, and peo-
pie after that supposed sure thing would
have wanted to accept all his financial
propositions. But the fact is that
they have taken three straight, and
though they had to fight for the
third, got the second with the greatest ease.
1t began to drizzle shortly after 2 P. NJ,
while the first game was in progress, and
the drizzling kept upat spells like an attack
of intermittent fever all the afternoon. The
sun struggled and fought to get through the
big banks of water-laden clouds in the west,
but all to no purpose, except that it prevented
constant downpour.
THE GRASS WAS WET
and that settled Mr.. Norris fate. It was his
first appearance in the town and big crowd
was out to see him, in fact nearly 5000 people
took chances on the rain and howled like the
inmates of Bedlam when the Clevelands piled
up their hits and won the game. Mr.. Fessen-
den was of fearfully In the first two innings
the home club that mortal man ever witnessed.
He was free to admit that he was dead wrong
when the game was over and the crowd didn't
howl at him very much when Cleveland got
ahead.
The music began early and continued late
Stricken started off by smashing hard single
to left. McAleer forced him out and Mexican
got his base on balls. McAleer was caught
stealing second, and then Twitchell smashed
the ball for three bases. Mexican came in
homo and cleared the plate by pretty slide
and was promptly called out by Mr.. Fessenden
Beckley got first on McKean's tumble, but
Maul's force out nailed him at second.
THE RUN GETTING COMMENCED
for Cleveland in the third inning and with
six base hits in succession, beginning with
Bakely, the home club only got two runs be-
cause of some miserable work by Fessenden.
There were plenty of men on bases for Cleve-
land in the next inning, but McKean popped
up nice one to Sunday, who smothered it as
neatly as dog catching buns.
The Pittsburgs scored on Maurs base hit,
DuDlap's sacrifice and Snyder's overthrow.
Then the Clevelands went in and got another,
because Dunlap. Kuehne and Smith punched
their errors 1t began to rain very brlskly in
the Pittsburgs half, but the game went right
on. With one man out Kuehne was donated
first base on a silver salver Faatz made
muff of Bakely's assist to catch Hanlon at this
juncture and Carroll placed nice little sacri-
fee in the right place, that scored Kuehne and
Hanlon was right at his heels q moment later.
Becfley didn't r. want rant to play then with the
for his bat and then his shoe wanted tieing.
His hands were damp and he needed towel to
dry them.
BECKLEY's TRICKS.
Fessenden yelled: 'I give you one minute to
come to the plate or I'll call you out" He
came then, but hiss:bat was damp and he ran
down to the pitchers box to dry it off with a
towel The crowd grew exasperated and
hissed audibly after the monkey work was all
over. Beckley lined the ball out for single
Bakeley's wild pitch sent him to third and he
scored on Maul's hit. Sundays long fly to
Twitchell stopped the scoring. Pittsburg was
one ahead and the crowd sore. The rain let
up, but the ball was very slippery. Cleveland's
seven runs in the sixth were due to combina-
tion of errors, base hits and Morris inability to
get the ball over the plate. The C1evelands
began with Stricken. batted clear around once
and ended with Twitchell. They might still be
batting, but were ordered to quit, as it
was apparent Cleveland had sure thing
on the game with seven runs scored. |
and Maul,s long long fly IT to MeAieer % gave % PittsbuTs
one more run. The Clevelands had plenty Of
men on bases in the next three innings, but
they didn't score, principally because they were
anxious to get out as rapidly as possible.
Maurs work was the feature of the game. All |
of his chances were difficult and splendidly
taken.
THE SECOND GAME.
The Pittsburgs did not want to play the Sec
ond game. They had had enough. The local
management couldn't see it in that light
Many people had come late, only to see the one
game. Finally it was decided to play five
innings and the game began. You wouldn't
have known the Pittsburgs were the same club. |
They went at the ball with snap and a vim |
that was refreshing to see. Jimmy Calvin was |
given perfect ovation by the crowd, and Maui |
was compelled to doff his cap for a beautiful
double play from left field, catching Radford's |
line hit on dead run within q foot of the |
ground and throwing Faatz out at first. The |
Pittsburgs got their first run on q base |
hit and wild pitch, and then scored on |
Hanlon's hit short of second and Beckley's hit, |
Calvin was very effective in the second. A |
base on balls to Tebeau and two singles in sue |
cession scored run. There was chance for !
Miller to catch Tebeau at the plate, but he !
muffed the ball. In the fourth Tebeau |
cracked hot single out in Mauls |
territory. thinner struck out, but |
0'Brien made his second hit Stricken put |
both men up base on sacrifice and Tebeau |
scored while the felders were trying to catch |
O'Brien between first and second. McAleer |
base hit sent O'Brien over the plate and Miller |
again mutfed the throw in.
The fifth was blank to Cleveland and after |
scribed the game ended.
