mails it is popularly supposed to conceal
seem to send ginger coursing through the
veins of the Smoky City aggregation. Once
more they met the Cincinnatis and for the
seventh time this year the Reds were COM
PEELED to surrender. They fought we'll in
the first three innings, and in all the others
seemed to be engaged in an effort to break
the record in rapid retirements.
Downed Them Very Rapidly.
During five innings not q Red reached
first, and there were only two occasions
when Pittsburg failed to keep Captain Com
iskey's young men guessing. To the fiery
headed twirler who oficiated for Pittsburg
much of the credit for the Cincinnstis' down
is due He made his first record against the
Reds down in Texas, and he seemed imbued
with that old SO spirit, and when he needed
all his wits he did not weaken. He received
valuable aid in the field. Little Shugart was
in the thick of the fight, and Beckley and
Farrell made plays that were life-savers. At
the bat Kelly was the man who raped in
the runs that were needed to win.
"Whv, ne handles himself like an old
LeaguerI" was Arlie Latham's exclamation
when he first came to the bat.
Kelly Kept the Fislders Busy.
A moment later Welch was diving after
sharp line f1y, and as he has not mastered
the art of making catches while on his
head, the Western recruit was given hit.
Only one Red tried to steal second on Mil
Ter, and that was Welch after his hit in the
first inning. He was easily killed, and
then Latham got a rap to center, coaxed
bad throw out OF Kelly and reached second.
0'Neill raped him home by warm one to
right. Donovan's daring base running
enabled him to tie the score. He hit safe
and ran on to third on Smiths slow infeld
hit which Comiskv sent over to Latham in
time to catch him, but the ball got away and
Donovan tailed Miller's clean rap to left
for three bags and Donovan's single earned
the second Bierbauer got on second on a
hit and Farrell's sacrifice, and was sent in
by Kelly in the fourth. Ehret gave his oniy
gift to McPhee in the sixth, and Welch hit
safe.
And the Score Was Tied.
Latham advanced them both and again
O'Neill was found true and after his hit
the score was even, Holidays grounder
bounded away from Farrell and was good
Tor two bases, but Vaughn was unable to
gauge Ehret's curves. O'Neill was caught
on his grounder to Bierbauer, and when he
essayed to steal second Holiday was caught
off third and run down. The failure to get
more runs out of such an opening seemed to
unnerve Dwyer and he gave Shugart base.
Beckley forced him out hut ran to third on
Bierbauer's hit. Another present to Farrell
filed the bases. Neither Welch nor Holli-
day started for Kelly's easy fly and it drop
ped safe, two runs scoring. That was all
although O'Neill and Comiskey hit safely
in the ninth. The game ended with a great
stop by Farrell of a grounder of Genins,
bat. He stopped on third and the /, 12U
filed safely out. The score:

pepsia etc, and often the trouble extends,
find biliousness and constipation. We find
also that the bowels and kidneys (nature's
sewage system) become cIogged with effete
matter, from which comes impure blood,
boils, blotches pimples scrofula. scrofulous
swellings and cancerous complaints. Tho

Tho Three As Meet Another Highlands and
Fail to Hit the Bali

All 10 ING DILL
Another good game was played yesterday
at Three A Park between the Three AS and
the Boston A. A. team. There were about
500 people present. Although six errors are
credited to the local players they play ed
very well in the field. The visitors put up q
very good game all round.
McCandless pitched three innings for the
locals, and he was touched up for five hits,
including two doubles and a three-bagger.
He was then relieved by Robertson, who
pitched in very good form.
A. Highlands pitched for the visitors, and
the home players could do nothing with
him. Weak hitting was the great deficiency
of the home team.
In the first inning the visitors made three
runs on singles by Mason and Cook, Farren's
two-bagger, a wild throw by McCandless and
a long fly by Dickinson. In the sixth inning
singles by SteaTn, Dickinson and Soule
scored another run, and the last run was
made on Anderson's tumble of Stearns'
grounder, q stolen base and wild throws by
Schoyer and Anderson. The score:
