Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-04-26

and his slugging colleagues are out to do
business with leaders as well as tail-enders.
The old man was neverin more effective and
deceptive form than he was yesterday and
the Colonels soon discovered that fact
The representatives of Bourbondom came
here as the prospective pennant winners.
They were at the top, and that veteran, Jack
Chapman, who has them in c'arge, had little
idea that anything in Pittsburg could knock
them off their perch. But old "Pappy''
did it; the hero OF Thousand battles dragged
them down notch and placed his own pals
q notch higher.
Lots of Coed Feetures.
There were SO many attractive features
connected with the game that 3, 800 people
paid to see the contest. That is, indeed,
great Mondays crowd, and they saw some
great ball playing. For once the Louisville
representatives found that they had fallen
among some very tough people, and that
there were no Chicago crowds to help them
out. Mr.. Meekin probably knew as much
about it as anybody else, because, despite
his reputation of terrorism, the local slug
gers started in from the first and touched
him up to the Queens taste. He'll not for
get Elmer Smith. The latter faced Jouette
five times, and made two triples and two
singles. That was enough to give any young
man q fright.
But though beaten, the Louisvilles are a
good team. They played well, except Fred
Prefer, who was little off, But he still
has his old dash, and doubtless will let the
local cranks know that he is in the arena be-
fore he leaves town. To be sure, there were
hundreds glad to see Tom Brown, Billy
kuehne and Pete Browning again. Poor
Pete didn't get a hit, but he tried awfullv
hard: so hard that if Miller hadn't made
phenomenal catch in the eighth inning Pete
would have had three-baggeE. But he
stated last evening that his lamps would be
all right to-day.
Eilly Kuehne wes There.
Kuehne was the only one of the visitors
who could to any material extent find Old
Sports measure, and when Little Willy
made his ''driesocker" the good-natured
crowd enjoyed it, because it pleased Willy
and didn't do very much harm.
Veteran Chapman has a good team. and
their onl V fault yesterday was they couldn't
hit Calvin safely. They banged the ball
out, but tielders were almost always waiting
for 1t. Jeems was well supported, and the
six errors recorded against his colleagues
didn't amount to much. The outfelding
was good.
Meekin was we'll supported, with the ex-
ception of two of Pfeffer's mistakes Weaver
caught well, and is apparently good man.
But the visitors were outplayed, and that is
why they were beaten.
In the first inning, after Miller had
knocked out nice fly, which Brown caught,
Bierhauer raped out n hot one down the |
right foul line for three bases Smith next
loomed up with another three-bagger into |
right center, and finally scored on wild |
throw by Pfeffer. The run, however, turned |
out to be an earned one, as Beckley made a |
splendid single hit which would have |
brought Smith home.
In the next inning Corkhill led off and |
struck out. Then Mack was thrown out at |
1rst, Pte1fer TO Meef,in. This locked gloomy, |
but Calvin got his base on balls and so did |
Alilet, and Meekin was very weary looking, |
indeed Then Bierbauer hanged the bali i
into center field tor a base and Calvin |
scored. Smith followed suit ana Miller |
scored and tnen Farrell struck out.
Very Lively Inning
The fourth inning came round and before |
it closed the visitors knew that YESTERDAY |
didn't amount to much for them. Bierbauer |
led off and got his base on balls That /
wasn't q surprise, but when Elmer Smith |
came again with a threebagger, everybody |
laughed loud or yelled. Bierbauer tailed |
Farrells fly was caught by Jennings and |
Bccllcy knocked long fly to Seery, Smith
scoring on the throw in. Pfeffer fumbled |
SEugartS grounder and the latter got to first
all right Pop Corkhill made Il capital two
also fumbled Mack's grounder and Corkhill
scored, making four runs for the inning
In the tifth the visitors got a run and were
glad of 1t. Weaver reached first because
smith muffed It fly that he knocked out and
got to second on mu1lcd throw by Bier
bauer Meekin and Brown each sent out
flies that were caught by Shugart and
Corkhill respectively. Pfeffer brought in the
run by q good two-baser to right. IN the
next inning Browning got to first on a
muffed fly by Shugart and alter the next
two men were out, Billy Kuehne thumped
the ball over Miller's head for three bags
Everybody shouted, ''Wei DONE Willy" Tie
run scored, and that only made the visitors !
TWO, and hence the good nature of The |
crowd. The visitors scored no more.
The local stuggerS made one more in the
seventh and il was arliStically DONE even
though it was not an earned run. Beckley
got has base on balls and stole second beau
tifuilr. Saugart sacrificed him to third and
Cufkhllls long fly to Seery allowed him to
score. 1t was good team work, indeed
Mr.. Lynch u:npired splendid game and |
was appauded when he appeared on the
grounds HDn
