Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-08-08

Instuntly the air became dark as huge
suck of cordwood swished through the mel
low sunlight and collided with vacuum.
Whereupon the spectators groaned and
Pitcher King smiled scornfully. The New
York eranlzs are forgiving and would readily
have overlooked few innings of that sort
of Gb tag, but to keep it up for nine long in
ninss was too much and Pitcher King will
leave this vicinity in bad repute. 1t cannot
be denied, however, that he
PITCHED A REMARKABLE GAME
Only one good, solid hit was made off his
delivery, and that was accomplished by
Danny Richardson. In the seventh inning,
with two men out, he hit the ball against the
right field bleachers for two bases, and was
then left On second. Tiernan got pop
single to right in the first, and was also left
on second. King was chary OF giving base
hits, but was generous with bases OH balls
presenting the New NorRs with seven bases
and hitting another. Kings supporters gave
nvc first bases on errors, and, altogether,
there were plenty of chances offered to the
local players to make runs.
In the first inning Cores stinging liner was
muffed by Shugart and Tiernan got pop
single. Richardson sacrificed, advancing
the runners base, and then O'Rourke and
ConnOr struck out. In the second BaSsett
got second on Bierbauer's tumble, and Bur
I'll was hit by a pitched ball A passed ball
advanced each a base Ewing hit TO Bier
bauer. who threw to the plate. Bassett ran
back to third, and Bur1ill was already there.
L looked though there would be another
complicated play, but both Bassett and Bur-
ill got rat+g,ed. and fell easy victims to the
long-lesr.s Mack, who caught Bassett be-
fore he got back to third, and then chasing
after BGrrill. ran him down 80 feet from
third base thus completing double play
Ouass3S &c.
SOME VERY CHILDISH PLAY.
1t was piece of childish base running.
The New Yorks made their biggest bid for
runs in the sixth. O'Rourke reached first
on Shugart's high throw, and after Connor
had retired on a fly, King sent both W.
Ewing and Bassett to first on balls, thus
filling the bases. To Burril and John Ewing
was allotted the task of sending in three
runs with triple. Burril struck out and
Ewing sent little fly to Bierbauer. Again
IN the ninth they got men on bases, but
there was nobody in the team able to hit
King. The fact must be set down that John
living pitched an excellent game, and it was
no fRuI * his that the New Gorks lost
Buck Ewing sent Rusie to bat in the first
half Of the ninth in order that the Cyclone"
might pitch the last inning in case the New
Yorks made any runs in their half of the
ninth. The big fellow was not compelled to
exert himself.
The PittsbUrgs got a run in the first on
HanlOn ; single and Beckley's double, and
another in the fifth on singles by Maui, King
and Eanlon. Gore made two sensational
catches in center, Bassett made fine cap
ture OF a low line hit, and one of the pretti-
est plays OF the game was made in the
eight. Bsssett hit an ugly grounder that
got pat Beckiey- The latter touched the
ball as it glanced towards second. Bier
bauer came up on the dead run and scooped
the ball.
VERY BRILLIANT FIELDING.
ReckIey raced to cover first but Bassett
would have beaten him. just as it appeared
the runner would get safely to first, King
81, Il L.,
ball second before Bassett's feet touched
the canvas. Bassett was declared safe, but
he was out. In the third inning Gore hit an
ugly grCUndc- that Beckley got but was un-
able to cover the base. King and Gore had
a tight race the pitcher slightly on the
lead. While King was yet six feet from the
base Becllley tossed the bali at the base at
about the proper height. and the pitcher got
1t as he galloped over the bag. 1t was pretty
plain. The attendance was l,596. Score:
