A FEW SWIFT ONES

FEW SWIFT ONES
to Burrill. and the latter was hopping
around like chicken on a hot stove When
the contest got under way, the Pittsburgs
tried TO apply their recipes, but somehow
they failed TO work Beckley roared from
the coaching line at first base Miller howled
from third base line and McGunnigle
shouted from the bench. The burden of
their vocal dynamite was Zine her out
But the tall, strong-limbed young man from
Indiana smiled softly and threw the ball so
fast the human eve could not follow it.
Therefore, it was simply a question of the
New lOrks hitting Baldwin sufficiently hard
to win, and they did it. Buck Ewing may
Lave a glass arm, but he is not troubled with
glass eye and again was the absolute neces-
sity of his presence in the team demon
strated. Although the crystalline condition
Uf his right arm permitted the visitors
to tie the score in the eighth, yet his batting
ratified the New Yorks to win in the tenth.
His twO-hase hit in the tenth was shining
example of scientific hitting, and the infiu-
euce he exerts in steadyiug the players can
not be estimated too highly. Richardson's
work at short was magnificent, as was also
Shugarts. In that young player Pittsburg
appears to have secured a jewel. There was
some very ragged work and also some e1cep.
tioually brilliant play by both teams. In
the matter OF runs through errors, each
team was favored. and the game as a whole
WAS one that kept the 1913 spectators in a
wideawake condition.
MAUI MADE MUFF.
Maurs mutf of Connor's line hit, on which
the runner got to second, and Buckley's
single gave New York run in the second,
which evened up for the one Pittsburg got
on Shugsrt and Beckley's base on balls, and
a bad throw to center field by Buckley. In
the third the Pittsburgs got to the front
with two runs, which were scored on a base
on balls, Shugarts smash to right for three
hases and a wild pitch. O'Rourl1e started
the fourth inning gallantly. He drove the
ball to the left field bank, and while Maui
was pOlIing around in the grass after the
sphere he made the circuit. There was
nobody to follow O'Rourke's good
example. In the fifth the Pitts
bUrgS punched their errors, and while
Mark Baldwin's ruddv face fairly famed,
the New Norks rolled up three runs and
took the lead. Miller started the fun by
1umbling Buckley's grounder and then
making high throw to first, the runner
taking second. Rusie sent a fiy to hanlon
At this point Baldwin became somewhat
llustered and gave Gore and Tiernan bases
On balls. Then Richardson's swift grounder
got past Shugart, Buckley and Gore scoring.
Iiernan reached third, from whence he
scored on O'Rourke's sacrifice. Connor end
"a -he innthg with AN out at first The New
Iorlls held the lead until the eighth, when
lUck's porcelain arm got him into trouble.
Beci.ley had struck out, and Miller got q
curiling three-baser to left. Mack hit to
Ewing, who had an easy out at the plate, but
q low throw spoiled it all, the runner
scoring.
PRETTY DOUBLE PLAY
Dy Rusie, Richardson and Connor put the
side out. 1t was nothing by either side in
the ninth, but in the tenth the New Yorks
captured the game with a rush. Richardson
reached first on balls, and by gilt-edge base
running got all around to third on O Rourke's
out at first. Connor was also sent to first on
balls and then Ewing came up for a try at
goal. The infielders had come in close for Il
play at plate. Reaching with his long bat
living tapped a wide curve on the tip of its
Roman nose snd sent the ball whistling
down the right foul line like flash. Before
il was helded in Richardson had scored
Connor was at third and Ewing at second.
Bassett was equal to the occasion, and with
a clean single to left, landed Connor and
Ewing at the plate. Buckley and Rusie re-
sired on flies, but the game was won, ana by
a~ pretty an exhibition of scientific hitting |
as one could desire to see. The PittsburgS
