CLEVELAND, O., June 6.-The Pittsburg club
couldn't complain of the cordial reception they
met in Cleveland to-day. Over 1900 people
were out to see them play and the applause was
generous for the pretty fielding work they ex-
hibited, but they were weak with the stick,
lamentably so, viewing the game from a Pitts
burg standpoint.
Mr.. Fessenden, q gentleman from the East,
with voice cross between Lake Erie fog
horn and Ohio river steamboat whistle, called
''play" promptly at P. NJ, and the matinee
opened rather brlskly on the part Of the alleged
infants. They started in with an evident de-
termination to add one more in the column of
games won. Stricken was the first to grasp the
ash and he smacked a hard one toward short.
Smith made a beautiful pickup, and the crowd
liked IT. Then McAleer patiently waited while
Staley gave him gift Of first base and Nc.
Kean followed in his wake, and after Mexican
came handsome floral piece that hoodooed
the batter for he retired on foul fly to Kuenne,
and that was
A PRETTY CATCH ALSO.
In the meantime McAleer had stolen second
owing to Miller's inability to get the ball closer
to the base than center field and Twitchell
availed himself of the opportunity by shifting
the ball far out into the field for single, scor
ing McAleer. Twitchen stole second while

on the short single to right but was cut of two
yards from the plate.
Sunday struck out for the Pittsburgs, Han
Ion few out on a line hit, ana Beckley. whose
appearance the crowd awaited with fear and
trembling, famed the wind also. Something
like sigh of satisfaction was waited upward at
this satisfactory conclusion.
Bradford hit the second ball pitched in the
next inning so far out into the left field that
calculations were going of a three-bagger
Mr.. Maui was out in that direction; he began
to run to the east, and when he stopped he had
the ball 1t was beautiful fly and the people
didn't forget him when he came in from the
field
Tebeau made base hit lucky one, too, and
Sutcliffe got first on balls. Beatin hit the ball
sharply TO Dunlap and was doubled up with
Sutcliffe. Miller took turn at waiting, and
four bad balls came to him, but Dunlap's lit to
short doubled the barytone-voiced catcher and
the great second baseman. Maui Just tapped
the ball slightly and 1t dropped gracefully into
Strieker's hands. Then came the third, and
Staley wishes now he had never seen the in
ming. The air was full of base hits and the
Cleveland players were calling them in.
THAT AWFUL INNING.
Stricken came up with careless air, and
staley thought he'd fool him by pitching
pitcher by hitting safe. One ball and two
strikes had been called on McAleer, and just as
Stricker started to steal, McAleer sent the ball
out into right field for a single. Stricken went
to third, and while the felders uusuccess-
fully attempted to put him Ir, out, McAieer SaA5er
get over the flowers and knocked
up little one-cent fly to Dunlap.
Then Twitehell hit safely second time.
Runs came in. Faatz followed with another
single, which Sunday fumbled long enough TO
let Twitchell go to third. Radford gave Kuehne
q slow twisteT, and the third baseman couldn't
pick it up in time TO throw the runner out.
Faatz and Radford. Sutcliffe hit short, and
Smith threw wild, Tebeau going on to third.
Beatin's sacrifice advanced him a base.
sstricker smilingly lined the ball out safe for
the second time, and two more runs came in.

by a hit TO Smith, on which he was thrown out
at first. The Clevelands didn't score any more
during the game, and only hit safely three
times. In the fifth, after Miller and Dunlap
had gone out, the latter, a force-out by
Maui the Pittsburg left fielder started to steal
second; Sutclife threw to head him of, and the
ball hit the batters legs going far out into left
and letting him score. In the eighth Dunlap
led of with cracking single, Maui hit a diff
cult one which McAleer would have got, but
Stricken baked him. This let dummy"

long fly to McAleer. The Clevelands' center
fielder made another circus catch, but he
couldn't throw in quick enough to cut on the
runner. Staley struck out. leaving MAUI at.
first. Beatin pitched wonderful game, and
Staley was effective in all but one inning. Han
Ion and Dunlap were roundly applaqded when
they appeared on the field. The Pittsburgs
