Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-07-07

Jig is up. This was the case in game the
local team played here with the Bostons,
and it was the case yesterday again There
probably never was an easier game to win
than that of yesterday at Exposition Park
against the Washingtons Victory could
have been nailed without anything like a
struggle, but suddenly in the eighth inning
the visitors were presented with eight runs
and victory was theirs
1t Is Becoming Somewhat Frequent.
Such like work must be very depressing
on the directors of the club who are doing
so much to have winning team, and it is
needless to say that it disgruntles the base
ball public to a very great extent. Every
one of the nine runs made by the Senators
was presented to them by bad PLAYING as
not a run was earned. The scource of that
awful run getting in the seventh was
Shugart, who at critical stages has become
proverbial for making mistakes, but after
his mistake no less than six safe hits in
cluding home run were made off Baldwin's
delivery. 1t is only fair to suggest that
when such occurrences are frequent they
ought to be looked into The team can
play great ball and are better satisfied to do
so now than ever they were.
The local players, generally speaking,
were in winning humor Early in the
morning they had been indulging in plenty
of practice, batting left handed pitchers.
Elmer Smith. Ed Morris AID Jake Beckley
all were left-handed trial horses in the
box for the local sluggers before dinner and
the work done by the locals was highly
satisfactory to Captain Burns. The good
ball slugging done by the home players in
the afternoon against left-handed Killen
showed that the practice had been bene-
fetal
Big Hitting All in Vain.
But all the practice and big hitting were
of no avail. Charley Farrell banged out
two home runs and Smith and Bierbauer
each whacked out three-bagger, together
with doubles by Berbauer and Beckley. 1t
really was hard lines to lose game with
such humping as that. One cannot help
grumbling about it.
In the first inniug Miller got his base on
balls and reached second on Mack's sacri-
fee. Bierbauer's triple to right scored the
run. in the third, after Miller had struck
out, Mack got his base on balls; reached
third on Bierbauer's two bagger to left
field, and scored on a wild pitch.
In the sixth inning, after Becklev was
out, Smith made three bagger to right
field, and Farrell made splendid home
run to right center, earning both runs
Everybody was certain Of local victory
then, as Baldwin was pitching in excellent
form. Only one little hit had been record
ed against him. Hoy started off in the
ninth for the visitors and got his base on
balls
A Very Painful Stage Indeed.
Larkin fouled out to Beckley and HOY
stole second. Milligan Knocked grounder
to Shugart, who threw the ball awfully
wild past first base, allowing
HOY to score and Milligan to reach second
Duffee followed with single and Milligan
scored and Richardson touled out to Beck
ley. Killen faced Baldwin next and
knocked the ball over the right field fence
near to the foul line Many people de-
clared the ball foul but the umpire declared
if all right and the hit was a home run.
Then Robinson, Radford, Dowd, Hoy and
Larkin followed on with each single and
these with three stolen bases sent in four
more runs, making the total up to eight for
the inning.
They Made a Final Effort
In the eighth the home players made
plucky effort TO redeem the mistakes After
Shugart was out Beckley knocked out
two-bagger to left. Hoy tried to catch the
ball, but failed, as he had to run too far.
Smith got his base on balls and Farrell
knocked the ball to the left fence for his
second home run, which brought the local
score up to against the visitors g.
The visitors were blanked in their half,
and the home players again began to try
to win in the ninth. Miller reached sec
ond on tumble and wild throw by Rob-
inson and Mack was hit by pitched ball.
Things looked hopeful when Miller stole
third and Mack landed on second, but Bier
bauer struck out and Miller scored on Shu-
CARTS sacrifice. Beckley knocked an easy
fly to Dowd aud the agony was over. The
score:
