ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.I
BOSTON, May 15-The easy manner in
which Radbourne laid out the Pittsburgs
yesterday led Manager Hart to put him in
the box again-to-day, and the wisdom of the
choice was seen in their inability to do
much effective work with the stick. To be
sure, Sunday made a home run and Staley
got in two-bagger, but aside from these
two hits only two singles were secured. The
Bostons donned their batting clothes again
to-day, and cut out a dozen neat hits, one
being three-bagger and two others were
double-deckers. 1t was we'll for the home
team that they could do some batting, for
had they beenas powerless in searching for the
sphere as were the visitors, they would have
been buried out of sight They played like
school boys in the field and made no less than
nine fielding errors.
THEY WENT TO PIECES,
and had it not been for Radbourne's excellent
pitching the home nine would have been badly
beaten.
Brown dropped two easy flies, and the great
Mike Kelly permitted another TO slip through
his fingers Johnston made an inexcusable
tumble, and Hardie Richardson went him one
better, while Quinn and Camel followed the
example thus set.
poor work of the home team that they wanted
TO see the visitors win the game. As it was
they came within one Of doing it, and failed
only because they could not bat. The visitors,
on the other hand, put a strong game in the
field. Only one fielding error was made-and
that was muffed hy-by Dunlap, in the second
inning. an error that started the run getting
Staley was very wild. He sent six men to
first on balls, and advanced them still further
by three wild pitches. Miller danced about and
made some great stops, which won hearty
recognition from the audience. HIS catching,
the battery work of Radbourne and Bennett
and the batting by Brouthers, Radbourne and
Camel, together with Sundays home run, were
the only interesting features of the game.
The BOstons made four runs in the second
inning, on five errors and two hits, four of the
errors being made by Staley.
DETAILS OF THE GAME.
Brouthers scored in the third on his three
Dagger and Richardson's sacrifice, and then for
two innings nothing was done by either side.
The lads from the Gas City had. planted one
run in the first inning, on three errors, and in
the sixth they salted down four runs on six
more errors by the Bean Eaters. The Bostons
had reached tine end Of their rope in the sixth,
adding three runs on as many hits and two
battery errors Then it became a question
to the ability of the visitors to climb the hill.
The score at the end of the sixth was 8 to
against them. They did not weaken. however.
Sunday banged the ball over the right field
fence for home run in the seventh, and in the
eighth inning Carroll scored again, after being
presented with first base, being aided therein
BY Miller's hit and two sacrifices. The Bean
Eaters aHoke with start to find their lead re-
duced to one run. and braced up in their field
ing The result was that the visitors were re-
tired in order, after Miller hit the ball, and as
the ninth resulted in a blank for both sides, the
Bostons were victorious by the narrow margin
of to Z. Score:
