very frequent, and judging from results
they have very disastrous effects 1t might
be wise TO hold these flowers until the end
Of the game and if he deserves them make
the presentation. He is evidently too sensi-
tive to maintain his equilibrium amid such
tokens OF affection and admiration.
JEENS WASN'T IN FORM.
1t WAS indeed, pity that the veteran
Jeems started in to pitch at all Had he not
done so it is very probable that the score at
the end OF the game would have been l TO o
in favor of the sluggers. The old man was
an extremely happy mark for the big peo-
pie from Boston, and certainly they made
everything Of the opportunity. They banged
the ball all over the lot during the short
stay Of the game little man. And not only
did they thump the ball hard, but to make
matters worse Shugart committed q costly
mistake and Umpire McQuaid made two
very bad decisions at the home plate To
those who were looking on from the outside
il seemed that both Stovey and Nash should
have been declared ont at the plate, and there
was much surprise when McQuaid declared
them safe. The decisions were anything
but good ones, and the truth is that Nc
Quaid gave the visitors the benefit of every
close decision that amounted to anything
worth having. The home team may be last,
but they deserve as much fair recognition
from the umpire as teams that may be reach
ing out for the pennant. There is no inten-
tlon here to question the honesty of Mr.. Nc
decisions so often are contrary to the inter-
estS OF Pittsburg.
There were l.527 present to see the game
but the visitors took such a decided lead in
the first inning that all interest was lost in
the contest even at that early stage. Clark
son was pitching such good game that it
was easy to see that six runs could not be
overcome.
A HOPELESS TASK.
But King pitched with remarkable effect
when he replaced Calvin, and that fact only
made defeat the more irritating, because it
prompted the belief that had the silver
haired young man pitched from the first
victory would once again have been on
the side OF the locals.
Although the home players had two men
on bases in the first inning they couldn't
score: but the visitors did In the second
half OF the inning Long knocked out a long
foul fly which Ifaulon caught splendfdlv
Stovey then lined corking threebagger to
llunlOn's territory, ana scored on an infield
hit Of Lowe. Reilly picked up the ball hit
by Lowe and threw it TO Miller who appar-
entity touched Stovey out at the plate, but
McQuaid thought different. Nashs yrounder
10 Shugart was tumbled, and instead of a
double play both Lowe and Nash were safe.
Brodie followed with a single; Tucker with
a sacrifice fly; Kelly with single: Bennett
with single and Clarkson with a three
haEzrer. scoring altogether SIX runs
Ia the scond inning Hanlon led OFF with a
thrre-Oaser to right. Reilly went out on a
4llAl llN 10 NsiSl anu NItlN IN eacn
got a base on balls filling the bases with
only one man out. Bierbauer could only
make a sacrifice hit which scored Hanlon,
and Shugart was put out at first, retiring the
side.
STovEY'S BIG HIT.
For the visitors Stovey led off and thumped
the ball to the left field fence for home
run. This big hit ended Jimmy and he
threw down the ball and walked off the
field. He was in no condition to pitch.
King went IN. but, although he pitched
remarkable ball, his colleagues could not bat
out runs ana not another run WAS made on
either side. In the seventh inning Stoyey
retired on account of sickness and CANCEL
took his place. In the ninth inning Manager
McGunnigle put Ward in to hat instead of
King, but the change amounted to nothing,
~ ard tried to bunt the ball and Nash
made brilliant catch of it. The score:
