THE OTHER PLAYERS LEAGUE GAMES


Yesterday'sgame at Exposition Park was
irst-class exhibition of the sport, and
Pittsburg lost. The boys worked hard from
start to finish. but were unable to hit at the
right time. Their field work was superb
and Hanlon made one of the greatest catches
of the season by capturing Richardson's
high fly away over in left garden. No safe
hits get into Eddie's territory if he knows it.
He is playing the best ball of his life this
year, probably because he has more at stake
than ever before. The fielding OF the New
Yorkers was also frst-class, and no very
rank errors marred the beauty of the game,
though johnson and Slattery both juggled
the ball in the first inning giving Carroll
two bases.
The work of the pitchers was above the
average, although O'Day is easily ratified
when men are on bases. However, at diff
ferent times when hit would have won the
game it was not to be had and the Giants
pocketed a victory though it was not an easy
one. Every inch of the battle was hard fought
and the New Workers walked out of the park
with sigh of relief, glad to get away with
their hair on.
HOW THEY DID IT.
As usual the local team got start in the first
inning. Before the game Hanlon said that he
would steal second every time he got to first.
He started out at full kelter getting base on
balls and going down to second at a 2.09 clip.
BIT Brown blocked his little game by a pretty
throw to second and one scalp was on the fence
to dry. Then after VIsner struck out, Carroll
got single and went to third on fumbles by
johnson and Slattery. Beckley's hit scored
him and Fields sent a nice one out to O'Rourke
who took it in tow. The Giants went them one
better. After Slattery went out at first, Con-
nor got base on balls and went to third on
O'Rourke's single. The latter went to second
on the play and both scored on Richardson's
base hit. johnson and Shannon took the fly
route out.
The local men failed to score in the second,
though Quinn got hit. The New Yorks con-
tinued to do business at the old stand and two
runs were added to their already overwhelming
muff; Whitney a base on balls. O'Day's sacri-
fice advanced them. A passed ball scored
Brown and advanced Whitney, who scored on
Slattery's single, Connor then few out.
ORourke got base hit and Richardson few
out
SHARP WORK IN THE FIELD.
The New Y Orks made no more runs, though
it required very sharp play at different stages
of the game to prevent them scoring In the
third there was single and double, but close
work in the field kept them away from the
plate. At several places runs would have been
scored but for good all around playing. The
local men were not satisfied with their little
one and added another in the seventh inning
Beckley got single and went out at second on
Fields life. Keuhne got base on balls, Cor
coran made a hit and the bases were full.
Quinn few out Morris got base on balls and
Fields walked leisurely home. Morris went
out on Hanlon's life and the music stopped.
The attendance was the largest at any game
since the opening, and. although it is not up to
what it should be, it looks as though the inter-
increasing a holiday n
4 2l7 people, and how such a crowd can yell and
roast an umpire. That crowd yesterday did it
to perfection, and perhaps they had some little
cause at different times. The score:
