Heavy Hitting Marks the Second
Game Of the National League
Between the Giants and the
~Beaneaters.

Beaneaters.
First ali attempted sacrifice, which
diln't work then a three-bagger way
over to the right field fence that, even
George Gore couldn't get back in time to
stop him at second; next a hard hit one to
right field for two corners of the diamond,
and winding up with a terrific crack over
the left field fence for what could have
been a home run if he had not stopped at
third base to bring Billy Brown up be-
hind the bat, constituted Hardie Richard
sons contribution to Boston's score at
Oakland Park yesterday afternoon.
Beside all that, he put out three men
and assisted three times, one of them in a
double play.
That young man knows how to play
ball.
New York won the game. There is no
question about it.
1t was all done in the beginning.
The Giants earned five runs ill the first
and second innings. Gore, O'Rourke and
Ward started it in the first with bases on

down to Dicky Johnston fer a single and
brought the fielders in. Ward was thrown
out at third by Quinn; Conner had al
ready knocked up a foul that Nash caught,
and Browns fly was held by Brouthers.
In the second, after Camel had cap
tured Whitney's fly and Titcomb's easy
one had been thrown to first by Hardie
Richardson, Madden hit Gore in the back
with the ball, O'Rourke sent q double
.-1-, Jaxx., 10 Tho nxrou hNr,cn in 1off
field, and Conner lifted a single over Tom
Browns head. Ward followed with o
double to the same quarter n three runs
had been earned.
GIGANTIC sLUGGING.
Two were added in the third on singles
by Slattery and Brown, and a tumble by
the Beauty, with Billy Browns fine base
running; they were both unearned. And
two more were batted out in the fourth.
When Counsellor O'Rourke led off with a
single to left, Roger followed with one to
right, and Ward fell into line with one
that fell into Tom Browns territory.
Tom got it in time to save it's being a
two-bagger. Then Danny got four bad
ones, and Slattery and Whitney made sim
giles,
The fifth inning ended New York's run
getting. Kelly had gone behind the
plate because the Giants were stealing
second SO much, and the first thing he

York when he missed Titcomb's third
strike. Titcomb went to second on the
error. Then Gore, O'Rourke, Connor and
Ward made singles, and Titcomb and
Gore scored.
There would have been more runs in
this inning if it had not been for Nash.
Danny Richardson lit OF the ball and
sent it booming down the third base line
in a way that frightened the monks in
West Hoboken, but Nash reached for it
and threw O'Rourke out at the plate.
Kelly did not stop to think but slammed
that ball to Brouthers just in time to head
Danny off. Then Slattery drove q fly to
Johnston in centre field. Four of the
next five outs were also flies to centre
two of them to Dickey, and two to Stat.
The B~eaneaters made another clever
double play in the eighth, when Quinn
took Billy Browns hot one and doubled
him out with Slattery by firing the ball to
Hardie Richardson in time for him to get
it to Brouthers.
HOW BOSTON SCORED.
Hard hitting nearly saved the day for
the men from the City of Culture. That,
and q muff apiece for Conner and Ward.
Brown got his base on balls in the first,
Johnston raped out a single, and then
Roger muffed Danny Richardson's throw
of Kelly's hot one, Mike going to second
and Brown to third, DickY having been
thrown out at second by Ward in an
attempted double play. Brown stole home
on Brouther's difficult fly to Ward, and
Kelly was out at third when Hardie Rich
ardson sent a hot one to Whitney.
Four earned runs came in in the fourth
on a single by Kelly, Brouther's base on
balls, Richardson's triple, Nash's base on
balls and Quinn's long single to right
field. The next three men flew out and
Quinn was left, though he had stolen a
base on each of the first two flies.
In the seventh, after Madden and Billy
Brown had struck out, Johnston made q
single, Ward muffed Kelly's hard one
after a long run, Brouthers drove the ball
over Cores head for -three-quarters of the
square, Hardie Richardson did the same
thing for two bases, and Nash drove it
past Stat for a couple more. Nash was
left, though, for Quinn gave Danny
Richardson a chance and died at first.
III the eighth CAMEL. made q pretty
single, but Madden and Billy Brown
struck out again, and when Johnston hit
to Whitney The ball reached Danny
Richardson before Camel got to the bag.
Hardie made q great try in the Ninth.
He sent the all over into Fleet street.
But it was too late. He stopped on third
base to make Billy Brown come up behind
the bat, but Kelly had flown out to Gore,
and Ward had stopped big Dan at first,
and Billy was not to be fooled that way.
He stayed back and let Hardie steal the
plate. Then Nash got his base on balls,
and tried to steal second, but Billy threw
to Danny Richardson, and the game was
