HERE WE ARE AGAIN.
The Home Team Knocks the Babies
Down Once More.
UBRIEN BATTERED OUT OF THE BOX
Jeems Was Also Touched Up Merrily, But
He Settled Down.
THE PHILLIEs STEP UP A NOTCH.
Chicago Wins Two Games From the Hoosiers-0the
Ball News

The home ball team once more defeated
the Clevelands yesterday in very lively
game. O'Brien was knocked out of the box.
Philadelphia won and stepped up to third
place, Cleveland dropping to fourth. Chi
cago and indianapolis played two games the
Chicagos winning both of them.
For the fifth time this week the local
baseball talent showed the Cleveland dele
cation where they are wrong yesterday.
The League youngsters are doubtless con-
vinced by this time that there are easier
marks than the Pittsburgers when they are
out to do business. When mind and muscle
are all right with the home representatives
Tom LOTUS and his active little chaps have no
business tackling the people who have laid
them low almost every day this week.
Yesterdays game was another illustration as
to the comparative merits of the two teams.
The local sluggers were not satisfied with win
ming the game, but they actually knocked
O'Brien out of the box. Nobody else has done
that this year, and Mr.. O'Brien would. NO
doubt, not take kindly TO the proceeding. A
dose. however, awaits all baseball twirlers
and that dose is sure to come sooner or later.
O'Brien has been faithful and good pitcher.
and he'll puzzle many people yet before the
season is over.
HE WAS FEARFULLY WILD
yesterday. however and his wildness was al
most as costly as the humping he received
He was replaced by Bakely in the sixth inning
and the change toned matters down consid-
erably. Only two hits were made off Bakely,
but he too was wild.
But just when the home team got through
their hitting old Calvin woke up and kept the
other fellows guessing. For the first four or
i've innings 1t looked as If the babies were 60
ing to trounce the old sport out of the box, and
there were loud calls for Sowders. Acting
Captain Hanlon, however, retained the old
man and the latter not only settled down but
be made a most timely hit when the bases were
full and two men out. Jimmy's stock went up
rapidly after that exciting event He was ex-
ceedingly well supported by everybody, and if
he had not the jig might have been up. Han
Ion fielded splendIdly, as did Rowe and White.
In short, the entire nine did well.
There were about $500 people present and
they were exceedingly noisy. The bleaching
board occup pants were ready for a scrap with
Captain Jay at any stage The Cleveland cap
kick to McQuaid about the latters decisions.
The crowd yelled in opposition to Jay, and
that long man who is fast earning an unenviable
reputation on the ball field subsided. For
three innings the game was such that
CAUSED INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
The home players were pounding O'Brien and
the visitors were walloping Jimmy. Matters
the score was tied and remained SO until the
fifth inning, when the home players left the
youngsters far behind
The home team opened out the game in an
extremely encouraging way. After Hanlon
was out Carroll got his base on balls and
Beckley hit to left for a base. While Miller
was at bat Carroll stole third and 'Beckley
reached second. Miller's single to right
brought them both home. Miller stole second
and got to third on Rowes sacrifice. Maul's
single to left brought Miller home and White
retired the side. After two men were out in
the second inning Hanlon hit single to left
and stole second. Carroll got his base on balls
and then big Jake Beckley thumped the ball
to extreme center field for three bases, bring
ing in two runs.
In the fifth Miller led of and he and Rowe
each got to first on balls. Maui few out TO
to right, filling the bases. Smith sent
grounder to Stricken and he easily threw Miller
out at the plate,
GALvIN's TIMELY HIT.
There were still three men on bases when old
Calvin trudged to the plate. Jeems settled
down to serious work and banged the ball into
left field, bringing In Rowe and White amid
the widest shouts. Hanlon followed up with
a corking single to middle, and Smith scored.
Calvin going to second. Carroll kept matters
lively by cracking out another single to left,
which. along with tumble by Twitchell en-
abled CALVIN to score Twitchell made splen-
did catch of Beckley's fly, retiring the side.
In the last inning Bakely sent both Rowe and
Maui to base on balls, and Whites hit to mid
die sent Rowe home and Maui reached third
on a tumble for McAleer. Smiths sacrifice
sent Maui across the plate.
The visitors made one run in the first inning
on McAleers scratch single and Twitchells
lucky double to left. Two more runs were
made in the second. Radford got first on balls
and Tebeau made good single to left Zim-
mer few out and O'Brien's double sent Rad
ford home and Tebeau reached third. Tebeau
scored on Stricker's sacrifice hit In the third
inning the visitors tied the score, and matters
began to look blue, indeed. Mexican opened
out with a double to middle and Twitchell few
out to Hanlon. Faatz's sacrifice sent Mexican
to third, and Radford got his base on balls. He
started to steal second and Miller threw the
ball into middle field and Mexican scored. Te-
beau then enabled Radtord to reach home by a
double to center. The visitors scored no more.
McQuaid umpired well. Following is the
score:
