ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAroH.i
NEW YORK, May 21:-The Pittsburg IN.
L. team made its first appearance at the
Polo Grounds to-day. There was plenty Of
hard hitting by the New Yorks, numerous
muffs and wild throws by the Smoky City
lads. The $50 people present were delighted
with the playing by the home team, even
though the game as a whole was too one
sided to be interesting. Not tumble, a
muff, wild throw or an error of any kind
did they make. They are certainly playing
great game of ball. They have not had
an off day since their return home from
their recent trip. Rusle pitched ior four
innings, and as the Pittsburgs could not
ouch him Blu rkett was put in the box.
BURKETT DID GOOD WORK
Showed that just as soon as he gets little
better control of the ball he will be valu-
able pitcher. Denny did not play on ac-
count of lame arm, and Buckley took his
place. After the first inning Buckley went
behind the bat, Clarke to third base, and
Burkett made his first appearance in the
game by going to right field. Tiernan
again distinguished himself by making
home run, and got it only by remarkable
sprinting. He hit the ball to the club
house, and in trying to stop it Sunday fell
on his back. Before he recovered himself
Tiernan was around to second base. In the
seventh inning Hornung made a most fav-
orable impression by a fine throw from left
field to first base, the ball going as straight
as a shot. "Calliope" Miller was on hand
with his foghorn voice, and also some very
large, heavy errors in throwing to first. In
the first inning, when he was called out on
strikes, he proceeded to tell Umpire Powers
what be thought Of his decisions, and was
fined $40.
MILLER WANTED MORE.
"Mnke it S2o," said the irrepressible
Miller. 81 will, if you don't keep quiet"
answered the umpire. Hecker had pretty
hard day Of it, as there were numerous bad
throws to him. Bergen was of little use
behind the bat and he did not throw the ball
to second much quicker than if he had hired
boy to have carried it there. Kelly
muffed fly ball and La Rogue couldn't
only discontinue was that Rusie gave him
only one chance to hit the ball, the other
time giving him his base on balls.
New York got three runs in the first in.
ming on q single by Tiernan, Glasscock's
being hit by the pitcher, q ee-bagger by
Basset to center and q sacrifice. Another
run was made in the second inning on Tier
mans bunt, steal and Glasscock's single.
In the fourth inning 12 men were at bat.
Rusie got in hit, Tiernan a home run.
Hecker dropped La Roque's throw of Glass
cocks hit, Glasscock went to third on Es-
terbrook's two-bagger and scored on La
Roque's error Of Bassett's grounder, Ester
brook scoring. Hornung hit to Miller. but
Hecker mutfed the throw. Hits by Clarke
and Buckley brought three more runs in.
After this the Pittsburgs settled down. The
visitors got their only run in the seventh on
q base on balls, and Bergen's two-bagger.
The score:
