a heavy oak fence post was exhibited to 100
people at the Brotherhood grounds this after
noon. 1t was the fashion during the good old
DAYS Of 1889 for Cleveland to win a game from
the Pittsburg club by a close margin up to the
ninth inning. When the ninth was over. how
ever, the Pittsburg players were generally
found packing the game in their bat bag Well,
to make a long story short, this is exactly what
they did. Cleveland started with a rush that
looked as though Staley's name was likely to be
spelled with a big u and small Ennis before
the game over. 1t was born and died all in
al inning. Staley settled down to business, and
two meager little hits all that Cleveland got
during the remainder of the game.
TOUCHED UP BAKELY.
On the other hand the Pittsburgs came up
against Bakely's pitching with the regularity of
q churn dasher working against time. Kuehne
played a rather Indifferent game, and made q
stupid attempt to steal third the return of the
ball from Snyder to Bakely. There not the
least necessity for move at that stage Of the
nght The play Of the game was magnificent
running foul fly catch by Tebeau. The ball almost
hit the bIeachers, and ''Pat'' half stopped once,
fearing collision. He nevertheless pulled it of

to cover the bag, and Twitchel scored white
Tebeau went to third. Staley hit Larkin, and
Radford's long sacrifice iy sent Tebeau home,
Larkin going to second. Snyder hit for a base
scoring Larkin, and was thrown out trying to
make second on the throw in. Fields led of in
the second for Plttsburg with a safe hit but was
forced out by huehne. Bakey fumbed Cor
coran's weak hit and Robinson forced Kuehne out
at third nice line drive by Staley sent Corcoran
home and Robinson and Staley scored on Hanlon's
two-base hit that was poorly judged by Brown
Ing. In the seventh inning Larkin put Hanlon
out at first and Nisner few out to Twitchell. Car
roll made his third hit and scored Beckley's hit
20 right which got away from Twitchell. Staley
began the ninth by hitting a little pop fly that
dropped out of everybOdy's reach in left field.
Hanlon flew out to Radford. Bakely gave Visner
his base on balls, and then Carroll sent both men
In by his fourth hit. Had the batter run hard he
could easily have made three bases on il. The
