The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-06-17

the young twirler was found for nine hits, but
they were fairly well scattered and he did ef-
fective work at critical times. In the second
inning, when by his wild throw over Twins
head two Spokane men were allowed to cross
the rubber, the croskers cried, Scamp has made
gilt of the game" but they were counting
chickens still in the incubator. In spite of the
errors charged against the Seattle ieders the
support he received from the men behind him
| was simply marvellous, as the putout,ss assist
and double play columns show. Each one of
the doubles came at a time when 1t seemed I'M
possible to keep the Spokanes from scoring.
| Huston pitched peculiar game for the visit
| ors. Several times he kept men from scoring
after they had reached third but he was found
easily at critical points, and If it had not been
for the successful basestesing of the Seattles at
least three of their would have been earned.
But every time man reached first he started for
| second, and in that way made 1t impossible for
any one man to be clear around on the batting.
| Newman carried off the fielding honors by his
great catch in the eighth, but Hernon did nearly
| as well by capturing very difficult fly moment
| later. Shea played a steady game, his one error
| being due to a base-runner baking him. Nc
| Donald's wild throw was caused by Flaherty's
! dirty work in catching his arm as he was throw
| ing to second, and he played brilliant game.
| Schoeneck accepted every chance, some of them
| being very difficult. Irwin had only two
| chances, but they were hard ones. Camp, after
three put-outs and five assists, and participating
| In two double plays.
For Spokane Stencil made a good catch of
liner back of third base, but Klopf had the heav
| lest work, accepting eleven chances like a vet
| eran second baseman. Flaherty took seven
chances gracefully, despite the jeering of the
bleachers.
Strouthers was autocrat of the diamond. He
| fined Schoeneck SIS for asking him if man was
out, and would probably have imposed more
fines II any of the players had toasted their eyes
upon Caesar. He watched base plays like a
hawk but did not keep his eyes on the pitching,
and one of the Spokane's best batsmen remarked
after the game: eff Strou.hers gives it to Hus-
ton like he does to Camp, no wonder he can't
pitch winning ball.
The game opened auspiciously. Shea dropped
single into left, and was sacrificed to second
by Powell Newman hit to Mutton and reached
| first while Shea going to third. Hernon
sacrificed to Flaherty and Shea came home.
Stencil got safe one into left but he never
| got away from first base, the three next men
going out.
In the second Snyder reached third on a base
on balls sacrifice and passed ball, but he
| died there.
| Errors gave Spokane the lead in this inning
| Turner got second on Powells rank muff of his
| fly. Huston went out on Twins great catch of
| his foul fly. Klopf hunted to Camp. who threw
wild to catch Turner at third. The ball went
| way past the bleachers, and Turner came home
| while Klopf reached third. Mutton flied out to
| Hernon, but Klopf came home. Flaherty flied
| out to Camp.
In the third after Shea had flied out to Klopf
| Powell reached first on a hit over Nultons head
| second on Newman's hit to center, and stole
| third, Newman keeping right behind him Her
non got a base on balls and the bags were full
| brilliant double play hept the men there.
| Shoeneck hit hard one to Mutton, who sent the
ball to Klopf, forcing Hernon, and the ball got
| TO first ahead of "Baby Mckee"
In this inning Mannassau hit safely but Nc
| Donald and Shoeneck's double play kept him
| from reaching second.
In the fourth three Seattle men went out in
| order, but Spokane made a run. Hayes singled
| TO left and Turner to center. Shea was baked
| in handling Hustons hit and the bags were full
| Klopf's single into left brought Hayes home,
| but Turner was caught at the plate on Powells
assist.
One, two, three order settled the Seattles in
| the fifth and the Spokanes were kept from scor-
| ing after Stencil and Polhemus had hit safely
and Hayes had filed the bags by waiting for
| four balls, double play by Camp, Mcdonald
and Schoeneck doing the work.
| In the sixth Seattle got in a run. Newman
singled to left, but was forced at second by Her
| mons hit to Flaherty. Schoeneck hit safe TO
! center and took second on Mannassau's error
| while Hernon came home. Mcdonald sacrificed
| to Turner. Snyder died on Nulton's assist.
Three Spokane men died at first in order.
In the seventh good stick work and base run
ming by Seattle tied the score. After Irwin had
| flied out to Mutton, Comp hit one too hot for
| Flaherty TO hold. shea hit to Huston, who
| threw wild to catch Camp at second, and the
| "kid" sprinted to third Shea stole second
| Powells hit 70 left was nabbed by Stencil
| Newman was equal to the emergency and
brought both men in by daisy cutter along the
| right foul line. Hernon hit to Flaherty and

score. Flaherty reached first on balls. Stencil
| hit to Camp. who threw to Mcdonald, forcing
| Flahesty, but Mcdonald in trying to complete
| the double play threw over Schoeneck's head
| being purposely baked by Flaherty, who APP
| pears 10 have fondness for dirty ball playing
| and before the ball could be recovered Stencil
| reached third, whence he came home on Man
nassau's long fly TO right field.
Brilliant fielding marked the eighth inning
| Alter three OF the home team were out Hayes
| came to the bat for the visitors. He plunked
his wagon tongue against the first ball pitched
and sent it sailing straight for the corner center
| field fence Newman playing well in. but
! the moment the bali started on its rapid fight
| he turned and raced against it. Every mans
| heart was in his mouth, for the hit was cut out
| for a three-hagger or home run. No one
| dreamed that even q Newman could capture It.
| The ball was within twenty feet OF the corner
and about three feet over the head OF the fielder
into the air, his left hand shot up and when
| he fell to the earth in heap he held
| up his hand TO show that the ball was
still there. Then the bleaehers yelled and the
| grand stand yelled too. Mr.. Newman would
| not dof his cap, and looked embarrassed.
| Then Big Tom Turner hi; . fly TO
right field fence, and Tommy Hernon
| emulsted his eompeer of the center garden
The bleachers and grand stand yelled again, but
Tommy had 10 chase after Klopf's fly and had
no time TO make acknowledgements.
Brilliant fielding marked the ninth and tenth
innings.
In the eleventh Seattle opened box OF fire
crackers Irwin hit one that Mutton couldn't
field and then stole second. Slugger Camp fol-
lowed with n single TO center and took second
on MSnnassaU's tumble while Irwin was coming
home. Shea got first and Camp third on Polhe-
mus muff: the former stole second Then Powell
came UP with his iron bat and hit lie ball ON
the nose SO hard that il moved the grass down
along the right foul lire ciea. & the fence,
while he ran TO third. AMI CAR aud shea came
