How the Game Is Reported NOWADAYS
Chicago Inter Ocean Artist
Rusie! He is not handsome man. His
legs lack repose. his fists are too large for
their age. his face is clam howder dream,
and his neck is so inextensive that ne can
not wear collar without embarrassing his
ears.
But how that big, lopsided man can pitch
ball! The sturdy Adrian c. Arson. of this
: place, has bad enough of MIR. Rusie TO last
him until the heavens are rolled together
as a scroll. When Colonel Arson goes
to bed Rusie a hideous and CHASTITY
shape. sits on the foot board with flaming
eyes All the long day. Rusie. an invisible
presence, grim and terrible. Is at his shout
der. He gives Mr. Arson an iciness, a sick
ening of the heart. All unredeemed drear-
mess which no gOadiug OF the mind can
remove. Through the dark nights Mr.. An
son hears but the ceaseless swish of ball
that shoots by him into eternity with tho
frightful speed of flaming meteor across
an inky sky. He hears the cracked voice
Of low, brutal umpire remarklng that he
is out, and then he sees a parboiled face
grinning at him through the gloom. Ii IS
Rusie.
Mr.. Amos Rusie pitched again yesterday.
The Chicago baseball team has come into
direct competition with the New York base
ball team ten times. Eight times they
have lost. Eight times Rusie has pitched
Once, 1t IS true, the Chicagos won with
Rusle in the box. But they made but four
mystery that will rattle down the corridors
of time.

older. He went iuto the opening game, and
his curves were found only in the first three
innings. He lOomed up IN tho box the Sec
Ond game. and his curves were not hurt
much after the initial inning. When yes
terday's game was called once more he
stepped into the box. and his curves were
as safe from harm as the fountain of youth
from dissertation. This is progression
In the art of pitching which must
call for deep condemnation from
those of this metropolis who are watching
with eager anxiety the march of Chicago
toward the coveted pennant. Amos has
unquestionably been ChicagO's bette noir
this season. lie has faced them eight
times all told, and only twice has the laurel
wreath of victory rested on their combined
brow. Ii the big son of the Hoosier State
