NOT ONE OF THE BEST.


among the frst-class contests. 1t was a
badly played game, but there were some pal
liating causes for the poor exhibition. The
grounds were in a wretched condition, and
vet the bad grounds were not responsible for
one-half of the fragrant mistakes. Bad
throws were in the ascendancy. The pitch
ers were touched up pretty lively, but it is
singular to note that only one of the local
teams Is runs was earned. This means
that the fielding of the visitors was bad. 1t
was bad, indeed, At stages the Cleveland
representatives lost alljudgment. and played
as if they were taking their first lessons in
the game.
For time the game was interesting and
would have been exciting had the run get
ting not been so prolific because of bad play
ing at the start Both sides started out as
if they were going to break all records in
run getting before the game was ended.
Maui, who pitched his first game, was in
the box for the home players, and he was
mark in the first inning. After that lively
stage, however, he settled down and did
very good work. He pitched in a way that
augurs we'll for his future. A frst-class
pitcher 10 not picked up at every turning OF
the road, certainly, but Maui gave proof
yesterday that he can pitch excellent ball.
A COMFORTABLE MARK.
Gruber was a comfortable victim at almost
every stage of the game, particularly at the
stages where his colleagues made fragrant
blunders. Notwithstanding the wretched
grounds the home players felded excel
lently. Kuehne, Fields and Corcoran did
brilliant work.
In the first inning the home players made
four unearned runs. Hanlon hit the first
ball pitched over the first baseman's head.
Visner got his base on balls and Carroll was
hit BY pitched ball, filling the bases.
Beckley's single to center sent Hanlon and
Visner across the plate. Fields struck out
and Kuehne knocked a grounder to Stricken,
who threw the ball wildly to the plate, al
lowing Carroll to score. Corcoran's single
sent Beckley home. Four more unearned
runs were made in the fourth inning Rob
inson got his base on balls, and Maui made
a single to lett. Hanlon forced Robinson
out at third and Tebeau's wild throw al
lowed Maui to escape and score. Carroll
few out and BeckIey's two-bagger sent in
Hanlon and Visner. Fields single sent
Beckley home.
KUEHNE's GOOD HIT.
In the fifth inning Kuehne led of with
double to center, and scored an earned run
on Corcoran's single. A base on balls and
errors sent in two more runs. In the eighth
and ninth innings wretched errors, two wild
pitches and base on balls, con bined with
a two-bagger and a single, netted four runs
more.
The visitors began like demons After
Stricken was out. Delehanty hit single to
left. and the venerable Pete Browning
struck out. With two men out Twitchell
banged out a two-bagger to left field and
Delehanty scored. Tebeau made a single
and Delehantv scored. Then Larkin made
another two-bagger and Tebeau scored.
Errors bY Maui were responsible for the
next two runs. Two singles and sacrifice
earned another run in the third. In the
fifth Brennan retired, having sprained his
ankle. Tebeau's base on balls, Larkin's
sacrifice, singles by McAleer and Gruber
and double by Sutcliffe netted three more
runs. In the sixth base on balls, passed
ball and sacrifice by Tebeau allowed Pete
Browning to score. During the game both
sides kicked considerably at the umpires'
decisions. The score:
