important features of baseball game can
easily be learned if one travels from the
postoffice corner to the grounds with few
cranks. ...
Who Are the Pitchers7
The great question always is:. Who are
the pitchers2 And yesterday was no excep-
ton. In reply to this very vital question, it
was stated on several occasions that Bald
win would pitch for the homs team.
Now, in several instances the fact that
BaEdw in was going to pitch, prompted the
remark that "we'l lose"
OF course, there is always q certain amount
of prejudice among baseball patrons just as
there is among any other class of people,
church-goers not excepted. But whythefe
should be misgiving about Baldwin is
very singular circumstance. So far this
year he has done extra ordinary work in the
box, and about the most hits made of his
delivery has been six. Yesterday that figure
was not reached.
These few words, in chess parlance, are
merely made in passing, not to use the
French.
But those of you LOO people who paid to
see yesterdays game, didn't Mark do up the
representatives of the city of beans, culture
and Browning mot Pete)? Why, it was
owing to the greatest luck in the world that
the visitors scored even their one run. Bald
win was just as tough to handle as it is to
keep ones self warm without fire or heat
when the thermometer is below zero. In a
word the bulk of the credit of yesterdays
vlctcry must be given to Baldwin, because
his pitching SO paralyZed the opposing
forces that they were never in the argument.
Brynan's Little Downfall.
The people from the scene of the old time
tea-riots put young man named Brynan
into the box to pitch for them. Brynan is a
very promising pitcher from the West; well
built and terribly in earnest His future
may be glorious one but he fell among a
gang of bTigands to start with yesterday.
He was afraid of them and sent the first
three batters to base on balls. Three hits
were subsequently made and with two or
three other things altogether six runs were
made and then the young man disappeared
as a public performer. Getzein, that is the
old time "Pretzel" came smiling out instead
of Brynan, but while Pretz did fairly well he
was not an unsolvable riddle by any means.
On both sides the fielding was very good,
indeed. There was only one fielding error
on each side and they were very pardonable.
No players work could fairly be particu-
larized because all did so well.
The runs were made as follows: In the first
inning Miller, Beckley and Browning each
got his base on balls. With the bases full,
Carroll knocked out a long and difficult fly
to left centre field. Brodie missed it, that's,
he dropped it, but the muff was very excus-
able. As result Miller and Beckley scored,
and Browning and Carroll were on third and
second respectively. Bierbauer then swiped
out a single to middle, scoring Browning and
Carroll. Hanlon then made a single, and
Macks single sent each man a base onward.
Had Lots of Fun.
There was plenty of fun at this stage. Mr.
Reilly made his appearance, and, despite
yesterdays affair, banged out a good single
TO left, scoring Bierbauer and Hanlon, and
thus the six runs were made.
In the third inning Bierbauer led off and
touched Getzein up for nice single. A base
on balls, a sacrifice hit by Mack and a wild
throw by Tucker scored Bierbauer. In the
fifth inning a single by Hanlon and Reillys
double earned another run. In the seventh
Carroll's two-bagger and a single by Bier
bauer sent one more home, and in the eighth
Baldwin led of and thumped the ball clean
over Brodie's head for home rum
The only run of the visitors was scored on
Getzein's base on balls, loves single and
the attempt of Lowe to steal second. The
score:
