pirations. they must make very much better
showing than they did yesterday.
A Big Contrast in the Work.
The contrast between the work of the New York
team and the local talent was very great indeed.
The former PLAYED a splendid game, just such a
game as winners play, while the home lot were
never sure about anything. They were uncertain
and at times very, very rocky Undoubtedly
Mutrie has a good team, one of the very best,
Judging from yesterdays work.
Ewing pitched an excellent game and his delivery
was such as to make very small people of our big
sluggers. The latter have almost earned the name
Of the ''Sluggers who never slug At any rate
they not in IL with Long John, and they
seemed to know II. He was backed up just as a
first-class team can back up a good pitcher. The
error credited to the visitors was somewhat
pardonable. The infeld work was admirable. and
Lawyer O'Raurke caught Ewing TO the Queens
tasa The hitting ofthe visitors was also very well
very tough lot for ANYBODY to tackle.
Mark Baldwin's pitching for few innings was
Was little wild. but he had too much speed for the
Giants TO grapple with But he weakened, and
ways than one. II would be unfair TO say that
Baldwin was at his best; had he been so he could
have finished the game with more strength than he
did. Besides when the visitors were humping
him the home sluggerS could stu do nothing with
kindly with Baldwin I'm the way of pronouncing
on balls and strikes.
Just before the game started something like n
prize ring battle commenced on the right field
bleachers One of the contestants had his coat of
and the ''scrappers'' had about two lively rounds
''pugs' were elected from the grounds.
The Real Contest Started.
Then the game commenced and everybody was
wondering what the Giants would do. For three
innings neither side scored, although in the third
the visitors had three men left on bases. Both
pitchers were little wild.
In the fourth inning the local men drew first
blood and in a very fine way. Hanlon led off, and
by the way he was the only player who could do
anything with Ewing. The Captain thumped out a
corking two-bagger TO center and reached third on
Mack's sacrifice. Reilly then sacrificed Hanlon
home amid much cheering and yelling. Baldwin
was easily retired at first.
Then came the Giants for their share. Connor
started to business and gothis base balls then
LAWYER o. Ruurke swiped out a merry single to
left after big Roger had pilfered second and Connor
scored on the hit. Bassett loomed up with two
hagger 10 left and o O'ROurke scored The three
men went out in order leaving Bassett on second.
Richardson started the fun IN the fifth inning by
knocking the bail artfuy into right for two bases.
II Of the lucky kind but ii counted just the
Baldwin fumbled Tiernan's bunt. and while Tier
nan was stealing second Richardson scored. Glass
cocks sacrifice sent Tiernan to third and the latter
scored on Connor's long fly to Browning. Two
singles followed but Whistler ended the inning by
living out to Browning
A Bang for Home Run.
Tiernan began the seventh just gluttonous
giant would. With tremendous thump he banged
the ball TO the left field fence for home run. Glass
cock was put out at first and Connor singled to
center and stole second. Reilly fumbed o Rourke's
grounder and Connor reached third. He Tailed on
Bassctt's sacrifice, 0'Rourke going TO second.
Whisters' single sent the Lawyer home.
In the eighth inning Browning led off with home
run to left. Whistler probably ought to have
stopped it. but it got past him. The next three
men went out in order.
After Gore was out Danny Richardson faced
Baldwin with desire 70 do some damage. Danny
yanked the ball past Pete Browning Tor another
home run of somewhat questionable kind. Tier
nan followed with single and Glasscock knocked
a fly out to carroll. Then came Roger Connor with
a hone-run notion but he could only make a three
bagger of IL to right field. OIL Rourke ended the
agony by going out ut first. The score:
