Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-20


recommended the Boston players not to go
awav. On several occasions there has been
such remarkable luck attached to the tel-
lows from Boston when they have been in
Pittsburg that nobody can feel satisfied OF
victory here until the last man of them has
been officially declared out
Terry Was a Puzzler.
But mistakes were guarded against in
Yesterdays game and Terry never pitched a
better game. He gave the champions no
chance to score and he worked as if deter
mined to have revnnge in behalf of his pal
Red Ehret. Terrv's colleagues made errors
at stages that might nave enabled the visit
ors to get q man or two home had the
pitching not been so effective. Hits we're
not by any means forthcoming when they
were needed and as a result the Boston men
were goose.egged for nine successive inn
ings.
The contest was just as nice one as any
body would need to see. With the e1cep-
tion of a few errors, mostly excusable, the
work of both teams was excellent The
third base playing of Nash and Farrell was
worth going long way to see.
One of the most pleasing features of the
game was the umpiring, and the l, 200 peo-
pie present were highly satisfied with it.
King Kel and Red Ehret were the umpires,
and really they did we'll There wasn't
kick during the entire game, and every
thing passed of as nicely and smoothly as
wedding ceremony. This is something new
in Pittsburg, as of late there has been some
terrible shindies over the umpires This
has been because of those officials being
new to the business. Kelly did admirably
They Thumped staiey Hard.
Staley's pitching was not up to his stand
ard, and it was only by the rarest strokes of
good luck that the score was not almost
twice as big as it was. Twice local man
led off with three-bagger and did not
score and in another inning there were
three men on bases and nobody out and yet
only one run was scored.
Charley Farrell made one of the longest
hits ever seen on the grounds and with two
men out. He whacked the ball clean to the
left center fence and got very comfortably
home before the ball. The ball went out on
a line further than any hit made in Pitts
burg and the Duke was roundly cheeered
for his performance.
For four innings it looked rs if the con-
test was going to be hot one between the
pitchers The local men had only made
two hits off Staley and the visitors had only
knocked the ball away safely three times.
But the fifth inning settled the hopes of the
Bostons. After they had been blanked
Beckley started off for the home talent.
He knocked grounder to Long and the
latter made bad throw to first. Beckley
was safe and Farrell got his base on balls.
Shugart appeared next and by making a
dextrous bunt got safely to his base, filling
the bases. Bierbauer followed with good
single to center and two runs came in, Shu-
CART getting to third. Terry's sacrifice scored
Shugart and Miller's fy was caught by
Tucker. Quinn fumbled a grounder
knocked out by Donovan and Bierbauer
scored the fourth run.
LOIS of safe Bunts.
The sixth inning opened up just as lively
as the fifth. Smith made safe bunt and
so did Kelly. This WAS tough on Staley,
but BeckIey made matters tougher still.
BeckIey knocked a slow one toward first
base and Staley ran to pick it up, but
missed it. As result the bases were again
filled and nobody out. Farrell forced Beck
lev out at second, but Smith scored, and
the next two men were retired in order.
In the eighth inning after men were out
Farrell made his big thump. Shugart fol-
lowed with single, but Bierbauer retired
the side by going out at first.
Only in one inning did the visitors look
like scoring. 1t was in the second. After
Nash was out Tucker made q single and
reached second on Smiths tumble. A
passed ball sent Tucker to third but Lowe
struck out and Quinn was retired at first,
leaving Tucker at third. The score:
