uaut-wiupers if thev could keep 1t up. But
thev won't, and what is more, they are not
required to do so.
But the series nearly did not result with
a laugh for local partisans. Those very
troublesome fellows from Cleveland came
within an ace of squaring things up with
us. For ten innings they fought like little
demons, from start to finish. and made the Dig
fellows hustle for all they were worth. Finally
they were beaten on their merits. after one OF
the finest games seen here for long time.
Fine Contest
The contest was, indeed fine one and If
any of the 900 spectators were not satisfied
with it they are probably beyond satisfying at
all. The attendance was larger than it other
wise would have been because "Silver" King
was to make his appearance in Pittsburg uni
form. The light-haired youth was there and
was cheereu. He pitched four innings and
three hits were made off his delivery. He was
in very good form but he retired because he did
not want to exert himself too much in his first
game During the time he was in the box he
pleased the talent immensely and when he gets
thoroughly hardened he will certainly be
king for Pittsburg. But he not only pltcneu
well but he batted in a run.
He was followed BY Staley and Harry really
crowned himself with glory. He pitched six
innings and during that time the visitors only
made three hits. And Staley also batted in
run when It was needed Indeed 1t was needed
so much that it tied the score and Henry had
TO swipe out three-bagger to accomplish the
feat. Altogether it may be said that Staley
and king we're the two great men in yesterdays
game. The entire team played well except
Miller. The Midget is undoubtedly out OF
form Just now as he can neither field his posi-
tion nor hit the ball OF course he is in
a new position and has only played
it on the worst grounds in the League.
He may do better on a better ground, but 80
far he has not even gone after ball in a way
that would indicate frst.class playing. One
thing is certain; there must be better playing
at short II the team is 20 stand well up Reilly
played good game at bat and SO did Carroll.
but Miller was such failure at bat that he
head several times. Had he been in his old
time form with the stick the game would have
been somewhat onesided- The local hits were
considera blv scattered and that explains why
only four runs we're made off II hits and three
runs made by the Clevelands of SIX hits.
A Good Series.
The visitors played good game and Viau,
under the circumstances, did exceedingly we'll
He kept the sluggers from hitting the ball
when hits would have been extremely profta-
bic 20 the home team.
The series with Cleveland has been good one
The team = very active and useful one and
are plucky players. They have not gotten quite
settled down yet They have some good players
among Jhemi in fact some of the best in the
country. They are civil lot of fellows to
tackle and it Is always interesting to see them
play. Their visit here has been a profitable
one TO PIttsburg financially.
