Pittsburg's Players League men braced
up yesterday and almost eraced their records
of the day before. They played ball to win
from start to finish and they succeed in do
ing so, thanks to Pitcher Staley. They took
advantage of every opportunity offered and
no chance to improve matters went by un-
noticed. Only one place did the boys really
fall over themselves, and that was in their
half of the third inning. There was a good
chance to score, but they failed to take ad-
vantage of it. Visner and Carroll got hits,
and Beckley advanced them base on a
sacrifice Fields hit to Pickett. who threw
Visner out at home. Fields tried to 20 to sec
ond on the play while Carroll attempted TO
score Fields was thrown out by yard and
good chance to add to the score was gone.
However the runs were not needed ana IL only
gave Cross and Pickett a chance to dlsply Inelr
ability in throwing across the diamond. They
did their work prettily and it was worth the loss
of the runs to see the quick return from tne
catcher to second. The Phillies played pretty
game all through and it is a hard team to beat
Fogarty in right field. more than does MS DUTY,
and with Griffin and Wood an outneld Is COM
plete that rivals the best.
THE ONLY ERROR.
The local men also put up good game,
the only error being that Of Carroll, which let
in one run. Fred only makes good throw to
second once in awhile and yesterday wasn't his
day. However, on account Of his hitting he is
valuable man to have on the team. Manager
Hanlon played his usual good game, and the
other men were away up in G, especially Cor
coran and Robinson. But it was the inability
OF the visitors to solve Staley's delivery that
cost them the game. 1t is true they had as
many hits as Hanlons men, but they were in
oppOrtune.

made vain attempt to sacrlhe. but II resulted
in hit along the first base line, which ne sue

Keuhne sent high fly to Griffin giving that
gentleman the honor of all the putouts in the

THEIR ONLY RUNS.
The PhiIlies began operations in the first.
After Griffin hit TO Corcoran and was thrown
out at first Shindle got a single, stole second
and scored on Carrolrs wild throw. Pickett

Wood went out Corcoran to Beckley. 1t was
in the ninth where the fun was had, however.
Pickett and Mulvey went out at first, and
Wood followed with two-base hit Fogarty's
single sent him over the plate, and the people
refused TO breathe. 1t looked bad for
moment but Staley remained master of the
situation, and Farrar struck out
