Gentlemen, this matter is becoming serious.
Something must be done or Hanlon's men
will go up a notch-that is, if the Chicago
t9boggan doesn't break.
Yesterdays game at Exposition Park was
what might be called hummer. For six
innings it was full of interest, and the sew
enth was full of ginger. It was q great
game and great crowd was present to yell
themselves hoarse over the great stick work
of the great Pittsburgers How they did
poke the sphere. Van Haltren gave the boys
beseeching look, bur they would not let up and
in the sixth inning, when four runs had been
tackled against him and no one had retired, he
concluded that he had been born in the wrong
time of the moon and decided his title over to
Heming, the youthful living skeleton. He
soon disposed of the bstters and only four hits
were made during the balance of the game.
AS IT STARTED.
The Brooklyns retired in one, two three
order for the first three innings. but the local
men rushed in one run in the second. After
two men were out Robinson hit for three
bases and scored on a passed ball Johnny's
people secured their full allotment of runs in
the fourth inning Ward singled and stole
second, and, after VanHaltren flew out scored
on Andrews two baser. The latter stole third,
and scored on Orr's single. Big Dave got Sec
ond on B2uer's hit tn I'd on Bauer's out at
second and scored on Corcoran's wild throw
Reckley owned the crowd during the fifth
inning. BE had been using new bat given
him by one of his friends in the bat business,
but in this inning he discorded 1t and took up
the one that has grown old in making home
runs. He caught a swift on the pig end, and it
went sailing away out of reach of the ielders,
and he drove Carroll, who had been resting at
second, across the home plate.
THEY HAD A FRoLIC.
Another run was scored in the sixth, but the
balloon did not really go up until the seventh.
1t was Fields turn to draw, and his was single.
Beckley stopped pitched ball and Fields went
70 second. Corcoran's prize was a single, and
Fields scored, Beckley going to third and Cor
coran to second on the play. Then Kuehne
singled to Seery. who iuggled it, two men scor-
ing and Kuehne going to second. A passed ball
sat him on third, and he scored on Hanlon's
single. At this juncture VanHaltren and
Heming changed places. Then HanIon stole
second. went to third on Cooks bad throw and
scored on a wild pitch Robinson struck out,
and Quinn went out at first Staley singled,
went to second on Carrolrs base on balls, and
scored on Fields single. Beckley few out and
The fun stopped. The last run was scored in
the following inning on an error and two sacri-
fees Attendance ESQ Score
