given the score at the end o
the game should have been 2 t.
/ in favor of the home team. Bu
Mr. Gaffney rendered a decision in the
fourth inning that beyond all doubt was
fair, and beyond that it was case fully 50
per cent clearer in favor OF the base runner
than case he had decided in favor of Nc
Kean in the sixth inning, and the visitors
made tremendous howl.
They Saw Some Fine Sport
There were about !, 400 people present
and the weather was fine. A more inter-
esting baseball contest could not have been
witnessed than that of Yesterday, and the
spectators will be talking about it to-day.
For five innings it was one OF the toughest
arguments that has been seen on the home
grounds. Baldwin and "Farmer" Young
were the pitchers, and they were
both out for blood. At the end
of the fifth the score stood 2 to l in
favor of the home team. The sixth inning
came round and after two men were out Nc
Kean knocked bounding grounder to
Miller The latter felded the ball splend-
idly and though Mexican was out at first
Just as sure as ever man was thrown out,
Gaffney declared Mexican safe and there
was a scene. Baldwin's arm had been hurt
by hit ball from Davis bat and after Nc
Kean had been declared safe Tebeau made
a single and McAieer followed with triple,
scoring the two runs This caused bitter
feeling against Gatfney.
In the eighth inning Mack led off and
knocked a little hit toward Young. The
latter couldn't reach the ball readily and as
sure as sunlight Mack reached first before
Young got the ball there, but the umpire
called him out There were two safe hits
in the inning after that and certainly Mack
wonld have scored.
Bad Decisions That Tickled Them.
Amid all this unsatisfactory work the
Clevelands were shaking hands with them
selves, but when in the ninth inning Mr..
Gaffnev declared Bierbauer safe at first and
two runs Tailed, they yelled all kinds of
murder. Bierbauer was safer on the bag
than what Mexican was, and there is no doubt
about it, and had Umpire Gaffney decided
otherwise there would have been conclusive
reason for saying that he has been and is
partial to the Cleveland Club. This charge
Cleveland players are hard and noisy losers
whatever other good qualities they may
have.
Both Young and Baldwin pitched great
bali, and were both we'll supported
In the first inning Donovan got his base
on balls and scored OIL a sacrifice each by
Farrell and Van Haltren and single by
Miller. In the fourth Van Haltren made
single and reached third on tumble by
o'Connor and scored on Miller's sacrifice.
In the second half of the inning Mexican
made triple to right center and scored on
McAleer's sacrifice. In the sixth, after two
men were out, as above stated, Mexican
sent grounder to Miller and was declared
safe. Tebeau made single and McAleer's
triple to right scored the two runs.
1t Was IA Glorious Inning.
The ninth inning came and Van Haltren
led off He reached first on a glaring
muffed fv by McAleer. Miller was hit by a
pitched ball and each man WAS advanced a
base on Beckley's sacrifice Smith got his
base on balls filling the bases and there was
tremendous excitement Mack went out
on a foul fly to thinner, and Bierbauer sent
q hot one to Mexican. The latter couldn't
handle the ball in time to throw Bierbauer
out at first. 1t was a tolerably close thing
and Umpire Gaflney called the runner safe.
He couldn't fairly have done anything else
Two runs scored and the visitors were all
in bunch in the infleld, and Smith reached
third and Bierbauer second. After the
kicking was over Baldwin made home
run to left field and Donovan got his base
on balls Farrell made a single, and a
tumble by Burkett sent Donovan home and
Farrell to second. Van Haltren made
single to right and was thrown out at sec
ond by O'Connor. The score:
