ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, May 17.-Hustling Horace
Phillips and his ball team from the city of
gas came to town to-day. The team is in
a bad way. The New Yorks are badly of
for pitchers, but they are far better fixed
than the Pittsburgs. The friends of the
club need not be surprised at the poor show
ing which it has made, for it is remarkable
that they have not done worse. The six
pitchers which the club started out with are
simply useless to them on account
of lame arms and other injuries. So
badly pushed was Manager Phillips
for pitcher for to-day's game that he had
Pittsburg amateur signed and sent on so
that he could have someone that could at
least be called a pitcher. This young
pitcher did not do so bad outside of his
wildness. Els base on balls. however, came
with base hits by the New Yorks. The
backing which he received was very fine,
and at times it was sharp and not uninter-
esting. Three double plays in the earlier
part of the game by the visitors showed that
the New Yorks had to step lively when an at
tempt was made to sacrifice in order to move
y q
well, but with the exception of the latter part
of the game, they could not get their hits
together.
THE GROUND WAS ROUGH.
The roughness of the ground gave the New
Yorks two more hits than they otherwise would
have got as both balls bounded over Dunlap's
head just as he was in position to get the ball.
Richardson nearly lost a finger in the eighth
inning in trying to stop hot grounder.
Keefe and Ewing were down on the cards as
the New York's battery, but it was found that
Ewing's effort in pitching on Thursday had
given him lame back, so that Brown was
Keefe tried to pitch, but he could hold for
but one inning. The first pail that he
pitched showed that his arm was not in condi-
tion, and with every succeeding effort he
showed that his arm bained him. Hatfield re-
heved him after the inning was over, and al
though he was hit for nine hits there was never
any doubt about the New Yorks winning. Lat
tie Miller was as lively as cricket and he
needed to be TO stop some of the pitched balls
by Krumm. Some of his stops were very fine,
and called forth applause. Umpire
LYNCH WAS SOMEWHAT OFF
in his decisions, but as both sides caught it
alike it did not make so much difference. A
new pitcher is always terror to the New York
club, and they were a little uneasy to-day until
they saw the kid" from the Smoky City. Gore
appeared at the head of the batting list again;
his arm is very bad and it was fortunate that
he did not have much to do in the way of
throwing. The first ball pitched by the visiting
pitcher must have made him think that he had
got himself into trouble, for Gore slammed the
ball into center field for base. Tiernan
hit sharp grounder toward Dunlap which was
turned into base hit, stone causing the ball
to bound over the second baseman's head. The
hair on Krumm's head fairly stood on end
when Connor's big form loomed up at the plate,
The first ball that came near the plate Connor
sent over the right field fence about 20 feet
foul. Then our first baseman amused himself
by trying to see how near he could come to the
top of the right field fence and not go over.
The fun ended, however, by his getting to first
on balls. Brown also got first on balls and
Gore walked home. Ward made a successful
sacrifice and Tiernan scored. A hit by o. Rourke
to left field scored both Connor and Brown.
Then the New Yorks stopped scoring for time
30 as to let the visitors have chance.
TIM KEEFE WAS cHEERED.
When Keefe stepped into the box there was
. round Of applause. BE sent the first ball in
q graceful manner toward Sunday and there
was a collision like the rap of a bedslat against
q sugar barrel and the bali dropped safe into
right field. Hanlon got to first on balls, and
after double steal both men scored on hit
by Maui. Goose eggs were then presented on
either side until the fourth inning when the
visitors jumped their score up couple of
runs, one or two hits, as many misplays
and sacrifice hit. Beclzley opened the
inning with hit, and Maui hit likewise;
wild pitch moved them both up a base, and a
tumble by Whitney and a sacrifice by Miller
brought them home. The visiting pitcher con-
tinued wild. but his wildness did not prove
costly on account of the sharp work by Miller
and the good steady play by the felders In
the seventh inning, however, his wildness was
more disastrous; two bases on balls three
steals, three hits and an error by Smith rolled
up five runs A two-bagger down the left foul
line by Smith and single by Sunday in this
same inning gave the visitors a run.
Both sides wound up with runs. A base on
balls by Hatfield, a steal assisted by wild
throw Of Miller, wild pitch and hit by Rich
ardson gave the New Yorks their last run. For
the visitors, hits by Kuehne and Smith steal
by the latter and a hit by Sunday netted two
runs. There were about l50o spectators pres
