Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-08-15

Without exception, some of the players
belonging to the Pittsburg club have kinder
hearts and more regard for their fellow
players than is often found among the ordi-
nary run of humanity. .
On Tuesday last one j. Calvin, ESQ.,,
made great and unequaled record for him.
self During the past two months the record
of the aforesaid MIR. Calvin had been
slightly bedimmed, and the luster that sur
rounded his name was growing cloudy. On
Tuesday he emerged from the cloud with
bright, sparkling brilliancy that cast its reful-
gent splendor on all sides and nearly blinded
those who came within the light that shone
forth. He was the king of all his fellow play
ers.
That one time easy mark, Gentleman John
Clarkson, with the New Castle, Lawrence
county Bennett did duty in the points for the
visitors. Although hit more frequently than
Sowders, Clarkson managed to keep them
scattered. His support was good, while on the
other hand Sowders was rather wild five bases
on balls and a wild pitch being part of his
record.
SOME OF THE CAUSES.
Then again his support was rather rank.
Even Beckley, who generally gathers in every
thing that comes in the vicinity of the initial
bag making some bad breaks. The audience
was kindly one, numbering about 900 people,
and was disposed, after the great game of the
previous day, to cheer anything that came.
Their enthusiasm vas all extracted at an early
stage in the game, however, and did not have
chance to bubble forth at any other time dur
ing the afternoon. Mr.. Curry, who is hired to
give decisions behind the plate. was very off
color, and had he seen some things as other
people saw them, the score might not have
been as one-sided as it was.

rors that gave man first and then a moment
later advanced him TO third, but fortunately he
got further. In the second inning, alter
Johnston was retired at first by Kuehne.
Brown got single of very scratchy order to
right and then stole second. Smiths sacrifice
out at first advanced Brown to third Bennett
got a base on balls and stole second. Ciarkson
singled to ce liter and brought both Brown and
Bennett over the plate
A BAD TUMBLE.
Richardson singled to center and Carroll
fumbled the ball so long that Richardson got
to second :Ind Clarkson scored. Kelly got a
base on balls and Nash closed the inning by a
foul to NJ iIIer.
In the third inning Brouthers let drive long
fly into deep center field that was tair and
square for Carrolps hands. The big fielder,
however, made a rank muff of it, and the ball
rolled way behind him. Before the sphere
was ret hrneG to the infield Brouthers was rest
ing on third base, and moment later wild
pitch flowed him to cross the plate.
In tn sixth inning Brown got a base on balls
and tn en- committed larceny on the second bag,
scorin on Smiths double to right. The latter
scored on Benefits single to left center.
Clark sons double to left brought Bennett
home Richardson's single to right advanced
Clar kson to second. Dunlap's error let Clark
son get to third and the latter scored on Kellys
fly 70 Maui.
The visitors got their last run in the seventh.
After Johnston few out to Rowe. Brown got
base balls and scored Pop" Smiths

PITTSBURG'S ONLY RUNS
were made in the seventh inning. Dunlap
opened with single to center. He was ad-
vanced a base by another single to center by
Sowders Both men were moved on a base by
Miller's out at first They both scored on a
daisy three-bagger to right that Carroll knocked
out. Then Rowe died at first, and Beckleys
single TO left brought Carroll home with the
final run, Maurs ny to johnson retiring the
side
Thus the thirteenth game of the season be-
tween the Pittsburg and Boston clubs was
ended, and whatever bad luck was attached to
the number had fallen with full force on the
local contingent.
The full score of the unfortunate affair is
told by the following figures:
