KNOCKED HIM CLEAN OUT.

Had he however, covered third, which
was his play, it is doubtful whether the
Pittsburgs would have got more than one
run. As it was three hits were made, and,
with Wards wide throw, five runs resulted.
In the last inning the l,0.3 spectators became
excited, when it became apparent that the
BroOklyns would pull out but a bad case of
Iattles spoiled their chances
The PlrShurgs again set the pace, sending
one run TO their good in the second inning.
Miller caught the first ball pitched at the
end of his bat, and, although W. 0'Brien
made long run to the left field fence, it es-
capped his clutches, notwithstanding Darby's
high Jump. MackS out from Caruthers to
FoutZ advanced Miller to third. Bierbauer's
high fly siZZled out of Foutz and Burns
eager hands and Miller came prancing
across the plate. After Calvin had pitched
himself ont of difficult position Reilly came
to the rescue for the home team by making
one of those amateurish errors. Although
Shugart threw low to first base, Kinslow
would have made his base, he beating ont
the ball. Caruthers again showed his ability
as a batter, he sending a line drive to left.
Ward then sacrificed, but FoutZ could only
elevate a fly to BIerbauer. Pinkney gave
Reilly bounder. which the latter picked up
in fancy way, and, striking an attitude a la
Latham, threw to Beclley with an express
SION, Il can nail you with my eyes closed"
on his lace.
REILLYS MONKEY PLAY.
But the ball went wild, to the delight of
Reillv's tormentors on the bleachers, who
gave the Pittsburger the grand laugh. On
the error hinslow easily reached the home
plate.
a combination of errors gave the Smoky
City team the lead i'll the fifth inning. Car
roll famed the air three times and sat down.
Reilly's bounder was travelling safely but j.
OBrlCn, after Il hard run, made a remarka-
BILE pickup, and although he threw some
what wild to first, FoutZ ought to have re-
tired the batter. He dropped the ball and
Reilly was safe. The latter got around to
third when IlHnlon singled and scored OH
PnkneyS fumbling Shugarts ground hit.
1t wasn't lated that McGunnigle should
have many happy moments, for the Brook
lyns passed their score in the following in
ming \ single to center field brought Pink
ney 10 first base, and as Re lily allowed
Burns grounder TO go through his legs,
pinkney got to second W. o Brien hunted,
which 1illed the bases A terrific drive from
Griffin bat hit Bierbauer a rap on the leg
the bail bounding out to center field. Han
Ion could not recover the bali in time, con-
Seguently Pinkncy and Burns scored. In
the following inning another Brooklynite
managed to make the circuit of the bases.
ShugRrt mutfcd Wards ny. the latter reach
ing second when FouUZ hit to Beckley. \
wild pitch advanced Ward TO third, and
Burns sacrifice brought him home.
TIE next inning was the fatal one for
Brooklyn. Miller opened encouragingly for
Plttsburg by hitting safely, while Mack WAS
presented with first base by Caruthers.
VERY LUCKY INNING.
Bierbauer sacrificed each base. Carroll
hit to Pinkney and Miller ran home. Pink
ney threw to Ward and Mack was caught be-
tween tine bases. Mack was run up close to
second where J. O'Brien caught the ball
Mack made dash for third. O'Brien, not
looking, threw for third base, and as no one
was there Mack reached home. Reilly hit
to Ward, who threw wide to FoutZ the lat |
ter barely stopping the ball with one hand. |
On this play Carroll scored. CALVIN sacri-
fced Reilly to second, while Hanlon's single |
allowed the former to tally. Shugart's hit |
did the same in HanlOn's case. In the ninth !
inning Caruthers hit safely. Ward hit to |
Calvin, but Shuyart did not touch second |
base, being too anxious Tor a double play, |
which made both men safe Foutz's line |
drive went away past the fielders. Both |
men got home, and though Foutz got three /
bases, he outIT,n third base and was touched |
ont. Burns then hit safely and U'Brien was |
sent TO first base called balls. This was a |
TRYING moment, and much was expected of |
Griffin, and well did he try. He first hit a |
line drive to left flelu but il went foul by q |
few feet only, but it was not until Reilly |
caught his short fly that the game was won. |
