ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1spArcH.I


BROOKLYN, October 2S.-The New
Yorks took a commanding lead in the
worlds series to-day by winning their fifth
victory. The record now stands: New York
won 8, lost 8; Brooklyn won 3, lost ..
When it was made known that
Pitcher Terry would offciate for the
-Grooms in the game against the worlds
champions, every Brooklynite who had any
interest in baseball made up his mind that
the New Yorks would not have an easy
time of it, but just how hard Terry made
them work is shown by the score. There was
no little doubt as to the game being played
during the early hours of the day, and the
crowd on that account was small. OF the
1854 spectators probably not more than 100
were New Workers and as a consequence
the long lead that the New Yorks secured in
the opening innings took all the interest out of
the game and beyond cheer now and then
over long hit or fine play everything was
comparatively still
CYCLONE CRANE WAS THERE.
Cyclone Crane was again in the box for the
visitors, and as usual they seemed helpless i'll
the way of finding his curves. Now and again
they got in a hit off Crane and usually at the
right time. but their hits were so few and scat
tered that they lad 20 make all they could out
of each one they got. Crane was not nearly so
wild as he was on Saturday and was able to get
his rite-shot curves over the plate with remark
able regularity. Terry was wholly ineffective
against the Giants, and his work was in no
comparison to that on Friday. In the very first
inning the big League hitters opened on him
with beautiful streak of hitting which en-
abled them to score five runs.
KNOCKED TERRY OUT
This sort of thing was kept up until the end
OF the fourth inning when the Adonis of the
Brooklyn club gave way to Dave Foutz, and the
former went over TO cover first base. This move
was Just what Foutz was longing for for he
wanted a chance to pitch against the New
Yorks, and he now knows that he cannot make
such brilliant showing as he could have wished
for, still he did much better than Terry, for the
New Yorks only scored four runs off him Foutz
was hit hard in the sixth inning, but be did good
work after that He had good command of the
ball, and used good Judgment in his work. The
fielding errors on either side were even, hut, as
three of the errors were wild throws by Visner,
it shows that the work of the home team, out
side of that by this player, was well done.
SOME GOOD FIELDING.
Collins, Smith and Pinkney all made fine
pick ups and throws, and the outfelders as
sisted in holding down the runs bv several fine
catches, but they could not prevent the hitting
by the League champions, who smashed the
ball in every direction with remarkable
strength. Although the errors of the New
1orks were costly they did not interfere with
the New 1orks winning the game. In the last
inning Richardson had a chance to retire the
side. When Whitney threw a grounder over
to force Corkhill to second, Danny, however.
failed to hold the ball, and then O'Brien fol-
lowed with three-base hit to left center, and
two runs were scored. The clever Captain also
scored because Ewing refused to come up un-
der the bat In the eighth inning Crane was
responsible for the BrOOklyns' two runs, for he
gave base on balls and Burns followed with
three-base hit. and scored on tumble by Ward
Of the throw in.
A PRETTY HOME RUN.
In the first inning Foutz pounded out a
pretty home run, with one man on the bases.
1t was a remarkably long drive down to the
Fourth avenue gate, and he crossed the plate
before Hernan got down to the ball. That the
New Yorks were out for the game was shown
in the first inning. for it has been a long day
since such pretty hittine has been seen. Five
neat hits were the sum total of the hitting,
but it gave five runs, just enough to show that
it was not Terry's day for pitching. After this
the New Horks had the REQ quired confidence,
and they pounded the ball for keeps.
Ward led the run getting for the League
champions with three hits on which he scored
four runs. and only had credit with being three
times at the bat. Connor also made three hits.
Tiernan received credit for home run when
he lost the ball among the carriages in the
sixth. 1t became cold and dreary during the
latter part of the game, and when the last out
was accomplished they went home. Tomorrow
the clubs will play on the Polo grounds, and
there is more than chance that this will be
the last and deciding game.
