Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-27

yesterday afternoon Wnen tne crauks were
reminded of the old-time slugging abilities
of our heroes. When they do make their
minds up to hit, something has to drop, and
Gustave Weyhing was made aware of that
tact
1t Might Have Been Worse.
And Weyhing was very lucky to get
away without getting a greater drubbing
than he did, as there were some very hot
liners that went direct to the felders.
Weyhing started out as CAV as a lark, and
after Beckley had knocked the ball almost
out of sight for three-bagger Weyhing still
kept up his iovial remarks and INDUCED in
hantering talk But the time came round
when Jake banged out his secopd three
bagger, sending in three runs, and then Mr..
wevhlng collapsed and disappeared from the
busy scenes of the diamond. Beckley had
his batting clothes on and it was none too
soon.
Before the game started Manager Bucken-
berger was somewhat at a loss as to what
pitcher he would use. Finally he selected
Elmer Smith and the selection turned out
10 be good one. Elmer was in good pitch
Ing condition and he really pit ched an ex-
cellent game. He was steady from begin
ming to end.
Elmer Had Good Encouragement.
But the good hitting of his colleagues
aided him wonderfully and once more de-
monstrated the fact that good pitching is
often of little avail if it is not backed up bv
good or at least timely hitting. The home
players yesterday went at the ball as if they
meant business. Not only did they knock
the bail at the right time, but they were
most timely in their bunt hits. The latter
TO some extent paralyzed Weyhing as the
locals were every now and again tapping
the ball about the diamond and getting
safely to first.
The fielding was tolerably fair on both
sides. Reilly made a wonderful stop or
two and SO did Farrell. Altogether the
game was good one to look at, although
toward the finish it became very one
sided.
Manager Buckenberger sent his men first ]
TO bat There was nothing done in the FIRST
inning, but Beckley started off the second
with terrific drive to the right center fence
for three bases The hit .6as beauty.
Farrell struck out and Beckley scored on
Shugart's long fly to Hamilton.
In the secozu half the visitors tied the
score. ThoThpson got his base on balls,
reached second on Delehanty's sacrifice and
scored 81 Dowse's single after Connor had
struck out. 1t looked as if the argument
was going to be close one, but the sluggers
hFd a surprise in store.
An Extremely Lucky Play.
In the fifth inning Shugart started of by
getting his base on balls and 9ierbauer's
sacrifice sent him to second. Mack made a
good single to right, Shugart going to third
and Mack got second on the throw in.
While Miller was at bat, Mack. evidently
forgetting that Shugart was at third, tried
to steal that base. Miller saw Mack's mis-
take and let go at the ball when Weyhing
pitched it, making safe hit to left and Shu-
CART and Mack easily scored, Of COURSE.
Dame Fortune was, indeed very kind.
The visitors also made an effort in their
half. After two men were out Allen
knocked the ball past shortstop and while
the felders were wondering how Allen had |
hit the ball he got to second on what ought |
to have been only a single hit Weyhing |
knocked the ball in front OF the plate and |
Smith threw wildly to first, the runner being
safe and Allen. at third. Hamilton's safe |
bunt scored Allen.
The home players still went further ahead |
in the sixth. Smith started out with o sim |
gle. Kelly tried to make bunt and sent
the ball toward Weyhing. The latter got the |
ball and threw it to the bleechers, Smith |
scoring and Kelly reaching third on the |
error. Kelly scored on Beckley's long fy |
10 Thompson.
The Inning That Settled weighing.
Then came the seventh inning. Mack |
started it off and reached first on q wild |
throw by Allen. Miller made q very artis-
tic bunt and reached first all right Dono-
van duplicated Miller's effort, and the bases
were full Smith struck ont and every-
body sighed Kelly followed with a scratch
single and Mack scored Beckley here
came to the rescue and caused ali doubts to \
vanish by humping out a corker to right
field for three bases, sending home Miller,
Donovan and Kelly. Reilly made wild
throw and Beckley scored the fifth run OF
inning, three being earned.
In the eighth Carsey started in to pitch.
In the second halt. after Carsey was out,
hamilton made single to center, got to
.hird on q muffed throw by Bierbauer and
Icored on a sacrifice by Hallman.
In the ninth inning Donovan led of and
