| SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, Sept. 16-Fortunately ar
rangements were made to play two games
only. 1t took the Pittsburgs but an hour
and half to polish off the New Yorks, and
at that rate four games could have been
| played. The 1,419 persons who saw the
| games were not inclined to grumble much
at the mere loss of two games of ball, but
| they did find fault with the way in which
the defeats came about. The New Yorks'
fielding was ragged and spiritless, their
base running listless, and their batting had
| not made its appearance when the second
| game came to a close. 1t was pitiable ex-
hibition for men who last spring were
scheduled to win the pennant. As one spec
tator put it: Gwen if they take no interest
in their work, they might at least try and
give us something for our money"
TAYLoR'S GOOD PITCHING.
The Pittsburgs scored but two runs off
Tay1or's pitching and earned but one That
was lucky hit by Beckley in the fourth in
ming. He sent the ball into the right field
bleacheries on the fair side of the line. Had
it fallen beneath the seats it would have
seats, however as it was caught by one of
those cunning persons who are always look
ing for a chance to do something odd or
cute. After catching the ball the Smart
individual threw it into the field. This
made it a block ball, and Beckley was en-
titled to race around the bases until the ball
was held by the pitcher, standing in his posi-
tion. Taylor got slightly ratified, and in
stead of running to the DoI was backing up
third base, and Beckley had no difficulty in
making the circuit.
The other run was made by Corkhill in the
third. He was sent to first on balls and
made the other three bases while Gore was
muff1ng Bierbauer's f1y and making q bad
throw to third. Taylor was hit safely but
four times, and gave very creditable exh
bition. On the other hand, Baldwin kent
the New Yorks pounding the air. Any time
there seemed to be danger OF the team max
ing run poor base running came to the aid
of the Pittsburgs. This was notably the case
in the eighth, when Bassett hit the ball so
hard that both Baldwin and Shugart had
difficulty in stopping it. He ran to first
like an ice wagon, and was thrown out on
what should have been safe hit.
THE SECOND VICTORY.
Coughlin and Burril were picked out TO
do the honors for New York in the second
game, and 1t looked as though Pittsburg was
to have feast However, no fault could be
found with Coughlin's pitching He kept
the hits scattered in good style, but the
same glass eyes that vainly endeavored to
locate the ball in the first game were en-
gagged in a futile effort to see Kings curves.
Buck Ewing, with his good right arm sat
upon the bench and laughed uproariously
at the play of his comrades. The New Yorks
managed to avert another shut out. In the
fourth inning Hanlon muffed Connor's f1y,
King made wild pitch ana Glasscock;s
singl sent the run in. After that the New
1orks couldn't make any more runs. Slru-
CARTS double and Miller's single gave Pitts
burg an earned run in the first In the
fourth, Mller's base on balls, Hanlon's
single, Cores wretched throw to third and
Richardson's wide throw to the plate
yielded two unea arned runs In the fifth,
base on balls TO King, Connor's miss of Shu-
gart's grounder, Miller's SINGLE BurrilPs
throw in the air when he meant to throw to
second, Hanlon's double and Lally's single
gave four more unearned runs. Coughiin
struck out the side in the eighth inning
King did not strike out the side, but only
four scattered hits were made off his pitch
ing. The score:
FIRST GAME.
