ARE SOMEWHAT CRIPPLED.


That the visitors are somewhat crippled
there is no doubt, as the absence of Davis
their center fielder, is a great loss, indeed
| Sharon, the new man at present in the out
| field is pitcher, and apparently a very pool
| fielder. Gruber. at times, was quite a mark
| for the home players, but he insisted that
| McQuaid was giving him the worst OF 1t; In
| fact various members of the Cleveland team
rebelled against the ump1re'S decisions, and
| in several instances their kicking was e1
cuseable, for McQuaid gave them the worst
of it. But McQuaid was a little on his mettle
himself and as result he fined McAleer S2t
for throwing his bat violently when called
out on strikes, and Captain Tebeau was
called down for $50 for stating that his team
were not getting fair treatment Tebeau and
McQuaid had quite an exchange OF opln-
IONS during which the player remarked:
Fine away. We have plenty OF money
and we'll pay them guess-not."
Baldwin pitched very well, but he was
very wild at stages and in one inning gave
three men their bases on balls. His support
was fairly good, except Millers work, which
was of the brilliant kind.
Run-getting common ced in the first inning.
After Hanlon was retired Shugart made a
single to center and was in the act of steal
ing second when Beckley made sacrifice
hit, Shugart going to third. Virtue threw
the ball wild to third and Shugart scored.
In the second inning Mack led off with a
safe infield hit and went to second on Bier
bauer's sacrifice. Carroll's tnree-bagger to
Carroll. Baldwin got his base on balls and
stole second on a muffed throw by Childs
Hanlon followed with three-bagger to right
center, scoring Baldwin, and Shugarts
double scored Hanlon.
In the third inning after two men were
out Bierbauer made single and got to
second on Sharon'S tumble OF the ball. Car
rolls single scored BierbaueT.
SCORING THE RUNS.
In the fifth inning singles by Miller and
Mack and a sacrifice by BierDauer scored
Miller, and in the sixth singles by Shugart
and Beckley and a stolen base scored
Shugart, and that ended the run-getting of
the home team.
The visitors were presented with three
runs in the second inning. After Tebeau
was out Virtue and thinner each got to first
on balls and Gruber'S single scored Virtue.
Childs' grounder to third enabled Reilly to
throw thinner out when trying to score, and
then Mexican got his base on balls, filling
the bases. Sharon singled to center, send
ing in two runs, and Mexican was thrown
out at third by Hanlon. In the third Nc
Aleer's triple to right and Tebeau's sacrifice
scored another run and in the eighth
Virtues triple to left and Zimmer's sacrifice
scored another.
In the ninth inning Childs led off and got
triple to left scoring Childs, and Sharon
struck out. 10 1son knocked out a liner to
left center and it looked good enough for
a home run, but after a desperate effort Mil
Ter caught the ball amid cheers. Mexican
scored on the throw in. McAleer knocked
up little fly which Bierbauer caught. The

sUNOL'S TRIAL OF SPEED.
She VIII Be Driven to Beat Her Own Record
and Equal That of Maud S.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
New YORK, July 3l.-"Sunol will trot
against her own record at the horse fair, to
begin at San Jose, Cal, on the 10th
inst.," raid Robert Bonner, her owner,
to-day, to a reporter. "If possible she
will beat the record, which is 2:l01z, and
equal that of Maud S-2:0ss4. 1 think she
will do better than her own record, but
have little hopes of her coming up to Maud
SIS. That, you know, is asking good
deal" Mr.. Bonner loves to talk of his
trotters, never tiring of telling of their good
qualities. He produced q letter which he
had just received from Charles Marvin, the
superintendent and trainer at Senator Le-
land Stanford's stock farm at Palo Alto,
Cal, in which Mr.. Marvin wrote that he is
making every preparation to have Sunol
trot against her own record. The exact date
has not been fixed, but he will try it on one
of the days of the San Jose fair.
Mr.. Bonner said that, although Sunol had
trotted a half-mile in 102M yet it takes two
halves to make a whole, and this does not by
any means signify that she can go mile in
2:o5. He remarked that if he were to live %
years more he does not think he will see the
2:05 record made, although there are those
who think it will be. He thinks the limit of
speed has been very nearly attained.
