of the local horses. The contest was so
close that it hung in the balance during the
latter half of the game, and at times it
looked as if for certain the scales would be
turned against the local representatives.
But every time matters looked like that
something occurred and they turned the
other way or did not turn at all.
HAD LOTS OF SHOUTING.
There were between J, 400 and 1,500 people
present and the majority of them shouted
themselves hoarse before the end was
reached. The shouting at one or
two stages had a little to do with
Mr.. Rusie, who pitched for the Giants.
But considering the circumstances he
kept his nerve extremely well. lie was in a
tight place several times, and so was Bald
win. But thatjust added TO the excitement
and the fun. Rusie pitched well, but the
hits that we're made off his delivery were
made mostly at times when they counted
runs, and that told heavily against the men
from New York.
But the great drawback to the visitors was
the fact that they could not hit the ball just
as that fact was their downfall on Thursday.
Baldwin was in excellent form, and although
he was little wild at times he managed to
counter balance his wildness in the nick of
time by effective and opportune work. He
was also well supported, and the timely and
hard hitting of Bierbauer, Shugart and
BecRiey helped him to victory considert-
Although Rusie pitched very well, he was
not well supported, and it is not unfair to
say that the Giants did not play very good
game in the field. 1t is justice to Glasscock
to saw that he was handicapped by a very
sore finger, and that no doubt caused him to
make most glaIfng error To add to the
ILL-LUCK OF THE GIANTS ..,,
Buckley in running to first base in the
third inning after making a good hit
spTained his leg badly and had to retire. He
may not be able to catch for several days,
and this probability makes Manager Mutrie
mourn more than ever. Jeems now claims
that his team have had more misfortunes
than all other teams put together.
The contest started out quite lively, and
the Giants began it as If they were going to
knock Baldwin out of the box. Bierbauer
started off the fun, and reached first on
Glasscocks tumble. Shugarts groundcr to
Richardson caused both Bierbauer and Shu-
CART to be doubled up. Miller got his base
on balls, ana then Beckley banged the ball

ter scoring Gore. o'RourSe got to first on
Baldwin's tumble and Tiernan scored but
Connor made a hit which earned Tiernan's
run. In the third inning the visitors scored
another, which turned out to be their last
run. Connor got his base on balls and
reached third on sacrifice hits by Bassett
and Glasscock and a single by Buckley
scored him. 1t was at this stage that Buck
ley injured his leg running to first.
AN EXCITING STAGE.
In the fifth inning Baldwin led OFF and got
his base on balls. Bierbauer followed with
a three-bagger and Shugart came will, a
double which sent both Baldwin and Bier
bauer home. The excitement was high at
this stage and Rusie had enough to do to
brave the storm of yells and shouts. Miller
made an infeld hit which Rusie fumbled
and Shugart got to third. Beckley's long
fly to Gore scored Shugart and the score was
tied. There was lots of fun at this stage.
Not another run was scored until the
ninth inning, and, in the meantime, the
Ginnts had three men on bases at one stage,
but not a hit was forthcoming to score run.
In the ninth, after Baldwin was out, Bier
bauer made a double to left and Shugart
made safe hit to Bassett. but the latter's
good fielding kept Bierbauer at second.
Miller got his base on balls, and the bases
were full Then Beckley came again with
long fly tc Gore and Bierbauer scored what
turned out to be the winning run. The
score:
