They Both Did Well.

There were two prominent performers in
yesterdays game as far as the getting OF
victory was concerned, viz: Reilly and
Baldwin, they played their parts nobly and
20 Reilly's very timely and frequent hitting
a. much as anything else must be attributed
the success of the local heroes. Mr.. Reilly
went through the contest with flying colors.
lie had three hits and on each occasion runs
we're the result. That is just what is re-
Quired in ball game and probably the vola-
tile thirdbaseman never hit to greater
advantage than he did yesterday. And
Baldwin pitched lust AS he can pitch when
he is in form. The hitters from Boston could
do noThing with him. He was cool and Wig
Orous and was supported to the Queens taste
by Miller.
But the entire team did well, and 1t is only
fair to say that they are showing great i'm
provement on their past efforts. They
played as n team and not as individuals,
which has so often been their downfall. Han
Ion, COrkhill, Shugart, Beckley, in short, all
of them did well, and if they can keep up
their gate Of yesterday they will down more
0eunant aspiTants than the BostOnS.
The visitors put up an excellent game, as
they invariably do. Long, who played at
short was little faulty, but had his errors
not been made the visitors would still have
been beaten. Nichols pitched good game,
but hits were made off his delivery just where
they We're needed; and, Tor once, in this re-
spect, Dame Fortune bestowed her smiles on
the home talent At times ii looked as if
Nichols was going to be touched up merrily,
but he always pulled himself together and
made an extremely hard light OF 1t.
QUITE A GOOD ARGUMENT
The contest was an exciting one, even
when the home players had three runs the
best of it, Almost until the last man was
out the ,l53 people who paid to witness the
game were on pins and needles because
everybody was expecting the Boston terrors
20 do something extraordinary. But Bald
win had their measure and they were very
Cleverly beaten at the finish.
The visitors were the first to score and
when they did so the maj iority OF spectators
began to think that certain defeat was once
more in store for our heroes. The fourth
inning was reached before a tally was made
Lowe led of for the Bostons and made a
nice clean hit to middle field. A sacrifice
each by Nash and Rrodie sent Lowe to third
and Tucker loomed up with twobagger to
lett field.
In the next inning the home team went
the visitors one better Reilly led off and
made an exc .llent bunt, and reached first in
safety. Corkhill reached first on a tumble
Ivy Long after Reilly had stolen second.
Baldwin sacrificed Corkhill to second, but
Reilly dared not venture home. With a man
on third and another on second Bierbauer
banged out a comfortable two-bagger to
right and sent the two runs home. Long
retired the side by making beautiful catch
Ofa liner by Shugart, and nabbing Bierbauer
OF second at the same time.
The visitors failed to score in their half
and in the sixth our sluggers netted two
more runs. After Miller was out Beckley
reached first on a fum bic by Long, and Lally
got his base on balls and Hanlan made d
single, filling the bases.
REILLY LoOAIED UP.
Then came Mr.. Reilly. He sized the stu
alton up and thumped out a corking single
Just over Longs head. In came two runs
and HRnlon was downed trying to make
third on the hit.
In the seventh inning the visitors got dan
Eerously near to our champions. The score
was to in favor of the home team. Tucker
started of for the visitors and got his base
on balls. Kelly knocked grounder which
Reilly picked up in great style. He threw
the ball to second, and as Bierbauer was
little slow in getting to that bag, he mutfed
Ghe throw and Tucker was safe on second,
Kelly all right at first. Cancels sacrifice
advanced each man a base ana then Nichols
surprised everybody by making a single
over second base, sending In two runs. But
ghe visitors scored no more.
In the ninth Lally led of and got his base
nn balls. Hanlon flied out to Stovey, and
Reilly once more made splendid single to
eft, sending Lally to third. Reilly reached
econd on n tumble by Kelly, and timely
nit to right by Corkhill scored Lally and
Reilly. The score:
