GOOD AND BAD.
At times the fielding on the part of the home
players was first class and at other times it was
very loose indeed. There is no excuse, how
ever, for the defeat, as the local youngsters
were beaten simply because the visitors played
better ball. Mr.. Beatin was in \ mood yester-
day that was by no means agreeable TO the
home sluggers. He was out to settle up ac-
counts for Saturdays proceedings and he did
it. He pitched a fine game, and Midget" Mil
Ter was the only representative that came any,
where near sizing Beatin up. The sturdy little
catcher raped out three good hits, one OF
which meant the scoring Of the only run made
by his side.
Sowders was put in to pitch for the home
team, but he was such happy mark for the
Forest City aggregation that he was taken out
of the box at the end of the second inning
This change seemed tn augur well for while,
as Jones, who took the place of Sowders, had
great command of the ball until the seventh
inning was reached. Mr. Jones then became a
little weary and the visitors touched him up.
They had their batting clothes on, and they
banged the ball quite freely. For time they
gave the local felders plenty to do. In running
after long and high flies Kelly had more than
his share. but he did his work very well indeed.
THEY PLAYED WELL.
The visitors put up an excellent game. They
all played well, and they gave proof that they
can play good ball when they are in form. The
work of the Infield was of the very best kind,
and Davis in center field not only made a very
brilliant catch. but hit the ball very HARD. Um-
pire Zacharias did not give satisfaction to the
visitors, and they kicked considerably at stages.
lie gave them the best of the close decisions,
however in the majority of cases.
In the first inning the visitors commenced
their run getting Mexican got his base on
balls and SmaIley cracked out single to left
home on the hit. The second inning was
lively one for Sowders. Davis was first man at
bat and he banged the ball right out to the
fence In center field; The hit was q terrific
one, but Davis could only make three bases on
it. Veach's sacrifice sent Davis home. Ardner
then went to the plate to do business and
thumped the ball over "Ducky' Hemp's head
for two bases. This made the little crowd
weary and Sowders looked very tired. Old
Joe Sommer went out on a fly to Kelly, but
Beatin appeared with his bat and knocked out
a nice single to left, sending Ardner home.
JONES TRIED HIS HAND.
Jones was then put in to pitch and he held
the visitors down to TWO hits during the next
four innings In the seventh inning, however,
he somewhat went to pieces. Beatin led off
and went out at first and so did Mexican. This
was all right, but the cyclone came. Smalley
knocked out a single to left and Daily sent him
to third on a single to right Daily stole Sec
ond. thinner then sent grounder to Hines
and the ball bounded off PauPs foot into the
air. Dunlap got the ball, but threw it wild to
Hines, who had run TO first base. AS result
Smalley and Daily scored. Mr.. Davis came up
again and cracked out a double to right field,
scoring thinner. Veach and Ardner each got
his base on balls, but Sommer forced Veach
out at third and the inning ended. Not a run
should have been made if the fielding had been
good. In the ninth inning Beatin led off with
a single to middle and Mexican got his base on
balls. Smalley's grounder forced Mexican out
at second and Beatin reached third. Daily
knocked fly to Sundays territory and Billy
muffed it. allowing Beatin to reach home.
The Pittsburg's run was made IN the fourth
inning. Miller led off with a two-bagger to
left field and scored on Dunlap's sacrifice and
a grounder by La Rogue. The score:
