Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-04-10

another victory yesterday, defeating the
Wheeling team easily. The big race at the
Central Rink continues to create excite
nent. Jem Carney, of England, makes a
plain and bold offer to fight Jack McAuliffe
for big stake.
Victory again perched itself on the ban
ner of the local National League youngsters
at Recreation Park yesterday afternoon.
The victims were the Tri-State League ag-
gregation from Wheeling, and they were
somewhat easily beaten. Solid hard thump-
ing of the ball cooked their hash, as almost
every run made by the young men WAS
earned right from the stick end.
1t wasn't baseball weather by any means
The wind was blowing strong enough at
times to threaten the grand stand, and it
was a very cold wind at that. There were
only about 200 people present, and they
shivered during the greater part of the
game. The bad weather not only interfered
with the comfort of the few spectators, but 1t
sadly interfered with the WORK of some of the
players. 1t was too cold for Paul Hines, and
he couldn't handle the ball at ALL
YoUNGMAN DID WELL.
There was little or no opportunity for bril-
liant plays, although Youngman usual
played his position admirably. The visitors were
a patched up lot. Three OF their men missed
the train at Wheeling. and two local players
had been loaned to Manager Glenalvin- The
loaned men were Bennett and Robinson At
the end of the sixth inning White retired and
his place was filed by Brandenberg another of
the local colts.
The visitors, however. are not class enough
for Hecker's colts. that is, when his pitchers
keep anything like steady These youngsters
wher they once find pitchers measure give
him terrible drubbing, and nothing will hold
them back. They are full of enthusiasm but
of course less will stop their progress than is
required to throw discontinue into the ranks
Of older players. But still they are promising
set of young fellows and worth going to see.
Their pitchers will get more nerve as the season
wears on, and one or two of them will no doubt
develop into good men.
BAKER WAS A PUZZLE.
Yesterday Baker was quite puzzle to the
West Virginians. In five innings he struck II
of them out, and IN the first two innings he
struck out six men. AT times he was hit hard
however, but kept cool He is very young, and
is a shrewd youth. Schmitt pitched the last
four innings and did very well. He is a speedy
left-hauded customer. and is not altogether pie
WHEN ne Is IN lOTm. Inc plUcEerS were very
badly supported by the felders, but that old
stager, Paul Hines. made the most errors 1t
wasn't PauPs day. He successfully carried into
effect very old trick, over which he is proba-
bly, laughing yet. Bishop had reached first on
a scratch hit and Hines got the ball. He LED
Bishop to believe that he had banded the ball
TO Schmitt ana the latter got into the box and |
struck pitching attitude. Bishop hoped off |
the base and Hines gently nabbed him.
Speaking OF Bishop, it may be said that his
pitching was extremely palatable TO the Colts.
They banged the ball all over the lot and
earned nine of their ten runs Bishop was
weary, but he couldn't make a, better of it
Zacharias again did very well as umpire.
WHEN THEY SCORED.
The third inning was reached before the
local players could size Bishop up, and they did
it then with will after two men were out. |
Baker led off with a single to left field. and |
Sunday went out at first sending Baker to |
second. Hemp few out to Armitage and Hines |
banged out Iwo-bagger to the left field fence. |

ter field. Youngman and Kelly each knocked |
out long single, and four runs were earned |
In the fourth inning Roat led off with single |
TO left field and Berger reached first on a |
muffed fly to Robinson. Baker banged out a |
double 70 center, Roat scoring. Berger also |
tired TO score, but was put out at the plate. |
Sundays sacrifice sent Baker to third Hemp |
Hines and La Rogue followed with singles |
each, and these, with stolen bases, sent in four /
more earned runs. Sundays single and Hemp's |
triple earned another run in the seventh. |
Fielding errors and passed ball netted the |
tenth run.
The visitors obtained all their runs by field
ing errors, passed ball, base on balls and |
four hits including double. The four hits
referred to were scattered throughout three
innings, two being In the fourth when four
runs were made. Following is the full score:
