FAMOUS MAN FROM CHICAGO

has with him; but it is said to point out
if the tickle dame had been sogenerous with
our sluggers yesterday as she was with the
visitors the result would have been different:
the home players would not again have been
beaten. just think of it. At one stage OF
the game, the eighth inning, with the home
players two runs ahead, two of the Chicago
players were out ana Fred Pfeffer, the third
man a. bat knocked the ball to the ground
about six inches from the plate, not inten-
tionally, and it lay there. As n result he got
safely to first base on that measly little
scmtch hit and then q triple, two singles and
4 disastrous error by Hanlon followed, win
ming the game for the visitors.
Well, it is useless to cry over split milk
bly, nobody deserved victory more
than Anson. The contest was a very good
one and the l0@ people thought so. True
the game contained a number of palpable
errors, but they did not figure in the run
getting except in the eighth inning, when
Hanlon fumbled grounder Cerkhill played
very well in the field and Shugart did ex-
tremely well both at bat and at short. 1t
would be blessing if the team contained a
few more Shugarts. Old Sport Calvin was
in good pitching form and really had the
visitors in dire difficulties until that very
unfortunate eighth inning came. And it
came just sure as if it had been made to
order.
The visitors played a good game and
f,elded in f1rst-class style. Gumbert pitched
admirably, although once or twice it looked
if he going to be the recipient of a
SOunQ trOuDclng. but ne nelQ well together
and everything came out all right for him.
The fourth inning WAS reached before n
run was made and then the League leaders
made it. Burns led of with single and Il
sacrifice each by PGeifer and Gumbert sent
him TO third. Then Tommy ambled home
on a single by kittridgc
CREATED SOME ENTHUSIASM
In the fifth inning the home talent caused
considerable enthusiasm to display itself by
making three runs and they looked very big
when they had been called. Corkhill led
of the inning and made a single. Galvin's
gTOunder forced Corkhill out at second
and then Hanlon forced Old Sport out at the
second stage also. Shugart came with a
single and then Beckley banged out a three
bagger to right, scoring Hanlon and Shugart.
Miller knocked a hot grounder to Burns and
Tommy fumbled 1t, Beck1ey scoring and Mil
Ter going TO first, where he was left. This
was all very cheering TO home team parti-
zitns and victory hooked tolerably sure be-
cause Old Sport was in rare form and it was
thought that Gumbert's measure had been
found.
But there was an impending doom and it
looked as if something was going to drop in
the seventh inning, as Ryan led off for the
visitors with corking three-bagger to right
center field. But by good fielding and pitch
ing Ryan was held at third until three men
We're retired.
The eighth inning came and the lknell was
tOlled. Cliff Carroll led off and flied out to
Corkhill and Tommy Burns was retir ed at
~ bright, indeed, for the home heroes. For
once a halo of victory began to surround the.
team as Pfeffer walked up to the plate.
FRED'S LUCKY HIT.
Fred wanted TO knock the ball out of the
lnI and he struck savagely. In one of his
efforts his bat really felled the ball to the
ground and it lay there just few inches in
front of the plate, and before either Miller
or calvin could get to it Pfeffer was smiling
al first.
There's luck for you,r was the general |
remark.
Then came Addison Gumbert, and to make |
matters worse he thumped the ball to the |
LETT field fence for three bases, scoring Pfef- |
Ter Then came kittridge and he lined q |
hot single to left garden scoring Gumbert. |
Ryan came next with single to left and |
Hanlon fumbled it long enough to allow |
kttridge to score what turned out to be the |
winning run. Ryan, in trying to reach third |
oR the error, was thrown out at that base. |
The score:
