GENERAL S PORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

Our sluggers got home from the East yes
terday in an extremely crippled condition,
but Just as CAV as June birds. When it is
stated that Tommy Burns had to play an
outfeld position it can we'll be understood
what condition they were in. All their
pitchers except Baldwin and Smith have
been released. Of course, it looks as if
Ehret was as good as released, because he
is not here But still, notwithstanding
these drawbacks, the boys turned in and
tackled Anson's Colts, who were also Grip
pied, in way that afforded great enjoy
ment to the $500 spectators. The home
heroes won one game aud should have won
the second had Baldwin been in anything
like his usual form.
Baldwin Was Sadly Out Of Form.
But Mark was sadly out of form, and it is
hard to understand why he is per-
forming so badly. He is at present
Just as easy victim as any team
wants to face, end the way the Chicago
young men touched him up yesterday was
very discouraging to local cranks. His col
leagues really played like demons and gave
him all the chances to win but Mark was
out of shane and that settled it. He re-
tired at the end of the sixth inning, but the
game couldn't be won by the home players.
There was good chance to win it in the
ninth, but a verv absurd decision of the
umpire killed that chance completely.
The two games proved one thing beyond
all doubt, viz, that if the local team had
another good pitcher or two, they would be
just as good as any team. They are splen-
did hitters and ielders. During the two
games Shugart really performed brilliantly
and Bierbauer banged the ball out of sight,
making two home runs
Two Bright Little Players.
Dahlen and Cooney also played in an ad-
mirable manner and between them they
prevented several good base hits. They
are pair of good players. Anson's pitch
ers are also little out of form, and as
result matters were so evenly balanced that
the second contest was one of very lively
and exciting kind.
The first game was somewhat one-sided,
as Elmer Smith pitched in a very effective
manner; in fact, so effective that only three
little singles We're made off his delivery.
His pals supported him in exceedingly
shakv style at that, but the other fellows
were also full of blunders, and Hutchison
was hit so hard that the home mistakes were
hardly noticed.
In the first inning Miller started out with |
single and reached third on Shugart's |
single, and scored while Beckley was steal |
ing second. In the second inning Browns |
single, a wild pitch, an error by Anson and
singles bv Corkhill and Smith scored ,wo
runs. Two bases on balls, an out and one
error by Kittridge scored another in the
third.
Where They Piled Up Runs.
In the fourth inning five runs were tai |
lied Smith led off and got his base on |
balls. Errors by Kittridge and Hutchison |
allowed Miller and Bierbauer to reach first, |
filling the bases. Shugart made a triple; |
Beckley made single; Farrell made a sac |
rifice and so did Burns, and the five runs |
got home In the sixth Bierbauer banged |
the ball to the right center fence for home |
run.
The visitors got their two runs in the |
sixth on tumble by Bierbauer, single by |
kittridge, Wilmot's sacrifice, base on |
balls and tumble by Farrell.
In the second game the home players |
started off as if they were going to eat the |
Colts up. Miller was hit by pitched ball, |
Bierbauer whacked out triple and Shugart |
did the same Beckley went out at first |
and Farrell's single scored Shugart.
A base on balls and two singles scored |
one for the Colts. Although the bases were |
full and only one out, they could get no
more than two. But liz the second inning |
they touched up Baldwin heavily. After |
Cooney was out Gumbert made single and !
scored on Schriver's three-bagger Will
mot's sacrifice scored Schriver, and then
Dahlen made triple and scored on Luby's
single.
In the third the home players took the |
lead again. After two men we're out Shu-
CART, Beckley and Farrell each got to first
on balls, and Canavan fumbled Smiths |
grounder and then threw wild to the plate, |
allowing Shugart and Beckley to score. In |
the fifth single by Beckley and an error
by Anson scored another run.
1t Was a Very Sad Stage.
For the Colts Dahlen's single, sacrifice |
and Anson's single scored one more. In
the sixth, after two men were out, Wilmot
made a single and Dahlen got base on
balls Then Luby knocked the ball to the
right center fence for a home run, scoring
three runs
In the seventh the home players tied the
score Miller made a double and Bier
bauer banged the ball to the 25-cent seats
for his second home run of the day. Smith
now went in to pitch, and after DUNCAN
was out Canayan got his base on balls Two
singles followed, and, aided by an error of
Mack, two runs were scored.
The home players made one in the eighth
on an error BY Canavan, a single by Smith
and sacrifice by Mack. In the ninth Miller
led off with hit, and Bierbauer knocked
up a high foul fly which Schriver caught
Miller waited on the base until Schriver
had the ball, and then ran off the base
Schriver then threw the ball to Anson, but |
Miller got back to the base without Anson
touching him, and Umpire Mitchell called
