CLEVELAND, September 1.-THE Cleve-
land clubs won three games to-day from the
Pittsburg clubs. 1t was great day for the
Cleveland cranks. The local P. L. club
had Pete Browning hack in left field to-day,
and Delehanty in consequence was moved
over to right. With the best batting force
of the local team out, it was not such an
awfuily difficult thing to solve the kinks of
Staley's delivery and bat the ball all ways.
Gruber did not pitch in extraordinarily
good form, and it was only the fine work of
the felders behind him that kept the score
down so close. Both Radford and Stricken did
magnificent work in the infield and their double
plays were beauties. The Pittsburg infeld, on
the contrary, appeared to be weak, and dam
aging errors were made at critical times.
Cleveland scored the first run in the second
inning on McAleer's hit, Smokers sacrifice and
Sutcllffe's hit. 1t was nip and tuck until the
SIXTH when PIttsburg managed to get in a run
on a base on balls to Quinn, a passed ball and
Staley's single. That was the last run for Pitts
burg IN the game.
In the eighth inning Radford began with a
base hit, Delehanty followed with another and
Radford scored on Browning's long sacrifice
and Tebeau's hit, with a sacrifice. scored Lar
KIN. In the ninth Corcoran fumbled Dele
hanty's hit. and Browning hit for base. Lar
kin got first on balls, and Delehanty scored on
Tebeau's long fly to left. Kuehne threw wild
when McAleer batted the ball, and Browning
scored. Score:

the sphere in all directions. and in the eighth
inning stood the man with the coffee mill de-
livery on his head. Beatin was hit for nine
singles but they were generally scattered. The
eighth was Waterloo for Anderson and his
team. The Clevelands kept up a cannonade
until every man but two had a base hit and
Davis got his second triple Ten runs came in
and 1t was the greatest batting squirt in one in
ming of the season. Beatin eased down in his
delivery and Pittsburg got two runs through
BurBes timely three-bagger.
