Hard luck had a great deal to do with the
loss of the game by the local National League
team yesterday. In the last inning La Rogue
dropped a fly ball that should have been easy
for the average fielder, and the winning run
was scored by Chicago.
Hecker started in to pitch the game. and for
seven innings held the visitors down easily, but
his lame knee went back on him, and he was
compelled to give way to Sowders in the eighth
after three hits and two runs were made.
Sowders Jared only shade better. and in the
last inning the Chicagos batted out two runs
and won the game.
However, Hecker was in the box long enough
TO show that his pitching arm is all right. and
from now on he will take his place regularly in
the position. The Chicagos could do nothing with
him for four innings but the strain on his lame
knee began to tell on him, and he was at last COM
PEELED to give up. He will soon be in good condi-
ton, however, and will then work regularly.
THE RUN GETTING.
Pittsburg opened by getting q run in the first
La Rogue secured a base on balls, went to second
on a hit, and was forced to third and home on
called balls. They were blanked in the second,
but in the third they added another run on a base
on balls, q stolen base a sacrifice, and throw
70 second on Heeker's bluff at stealing the base
In the fourth run was made by Crane on a hit,
q stolen base, sacrifice and SUNDAYS single.
The sixth was opened up by two men going out
at first. Then Hecker was hit by pitched ball,
Berger's double, which also sent Roat home.
Berger scored on Anson's drop of Cranes high
fy Hemp few out. The home team scored their
last run in the eighth. Miller got o-bagger,
went to third on La Roque's sacrifice, and scored
on Hecker's double.
CHICAGO FARED BETTER.
Ansonis men were blanked for three innings.
In the fourth three-bagger and a single sent
Carroll in. Again in the fifth the visitors secured
two runs. O'Brien hit for two bases, and scored
on sacrifices by Kittridge and Cooney. Coughlin
was given first on balls, went TO second on sac
rlfice, and home on Carroll's double.
The visitors drew blanks in the sixth and
seventh but in the eighth three more runs were
added 10 the score. Carroll got a single, went to
third on WiimOt's double and scored on Anson's
hit which also sent Wilmot to third. At this
stage of the game Hecker gave way to Sowders,
but a sacrifice and single by Burns drove two
more runs in.
With one TO tie aud two TO win the Chicagos
came up smiling for the ninth. kittridge re-
tired at first. Cooney made two bases on hit,
went to third on sacrifice and scored on Will
mot's single, thus tieing the score. Anson got
