GENERAL BASEBALL NEWS OF THE DAY

That very genial and confident gentleman,
Jeems Mutrie had a nice little scheme
mapped out yesterday that did not work by
any means. Before he, with his aggrega-
tion of Giants, left the hotel for the grounds
Jeems and Buck Ewing arranged plan by
which the pride of Pittsburg was to be
knocked out without run. The entire de-
tails of the plan were kept secret. When
the team and the manager arrived at the
grounds, however, the genial manager dis
played little sympathy and remarked that
the home team would not be shut out but the
result would be s to 2 against them.
1t is now matter of history that the plans
and calculations OF Messrs. Mutrie and Ewing
were knocked clean out of sight The truth is
the Giants were the luckiest people that ever
entered into contest to get run at all. The
two that are recorded to their credit were not
altogether merited by their goods deeds, and
they were scored at the very last stage of the
game at that As it was, however, the run
getting of the Giants caused considerable un.
easiness among the 2422O spectators. 1t really
did look at the last moment as If a chapter OF
errors was going to blight all the hopes and
cheerful expectations of the crowd, and cer-
tainly the air for five or ten minutes full of
dependency. .-
VERY GOOD GAME
The game was a good one, and the weather
was extremely fine. There were many features
that drew forth well-merited applause. The
fielding of the visitors was excellent, and the
only fielding error they made was a wild throw
in by Gore. So much cannot be said of their
batting. however, and If yesterdays game is to
be taken as a criterion we might as well lay
claim to the pennant ourselves. The sluggers
from the East were sadly at sea with Staley;
they couldn't touch him. staley undoubtedly
pitched game that may safely be termed first
class. His speed was great and he had much
better command of the bah than usual Miller
caught him well and the general support ac-
corded him was of the very best kind. Han
Ion, Dunlap Sunday and smith all played well.
On the other hand Mickey Welch was some
thing like strawberry jam for the home talent
and almost all of them seemed to enjoy it ex-
ceedingly.
-. --- THE BIG SLUGGERs.
Carroll and Dunlap were out for all the good
things they could get. Each was Eve times at
bat and each had four hits. Dunlap however,
hadfour hits and life. while Carroll had four
hits and retirement at first Carroll how
ever, banged the ball away. just whacking it as
butcher would a bullock. Dunlap's hitting
was of the scientific kind because every time
Fred Just placed hits in nice comfortable To-
calities. Undoubtedly. Welch was hit so freely
that the fielders were kept very busy ana even
at that there was not much encouragement for
them They played a plucky game, however,
and as above intimated, gave the Pittsburg
enthusiasts the shakes to very great extent
.FoE the first three innings the contest was
one really between the pitchers. The FIRST in
ming may probably be excepted, but for each
side that inning was singular. After Hanlon
and Sunday had gone out, Carroll and Miller
made twOspiendid singles, but a short grounder
by Dunlap retired the side. For the visitors
Gore made corkng single to left and reached
living made good single to right and Gore
got to third, Staley settled down and struck
Connor out amid cheers and Richardson's fly
dropped into Hanlon's hands amid the groans
of Jim Mutrie.
In the fourth inning the home sluggers fairly
found the measure of New York's smiling
pitcher. They jumped onto him as If intending
20 gobble him up with salt. The burly Carroll |
commenced with lively single to left, and
Miller came up smiling responsive to the good
natured look Of Mickey. Smiles didn't 90 far,
however, as Miller thumped a ball with
PoRCUPINE QUILLs ON,
tearing the grass up by the roots as it went
along. Before O'Rourke could lay hands on
that very hot ball Miller was at second base
aud Carroll was home. Dunlap dropped q nice |
little fly into right field and Miller scored. Two
earned runs
day was easily retired at first Carroll came
again with a good single and Hanlon scored. |
O'Rourke threw the ball wildly to the plate
and Carroll reached third. Miller went out at |
first, but Dunlap found the leather for two
bases. de knocked the bail very cunningly
into right field. Carroll came in with the |
fourth earned run.
In the seventh inning Carroll led of and
banged the ball clean 30 the right-held fence
for three bases. This aroused the enthusiasm
of the crowd to a high degree. After Miller
had been retired Dunlap brought Carroll home
by a single to right field.
The visitors made their runs in the ninth in
ming Tiernan led off and hit for a splendid
do1ble to center and reached third on a passed
ball. Ewing few out to Hanlon and Connor
got his base balls. Richardson followed
with a single to left and Tiernan scored. Smith
fumbled O'Rourkes grounder ana Connor
scored. There were now two men on bases
and only one man out Many people thought
that Staley was weakening. but they were de-
ceived. Hatfield was retired at first and Ar
thur Whitney went out foul fly to Miller
and the agony was over.
McQuad umpired a good game. In the
early part of the game there was much grum-
bling about Welch's left foot being out Of the
box. The umpire did not interfere, however.
Ewing played extremely hard to win. Follow
