grounds. because they were never more
anxious to win q game than they were to
down the local talent yesterday afternoon.
They played a lively game and tried their
best to win, but they luckily escaped a
shutout
The Pitching Was First-Clasa
They did not earn a run during the three
games. which goes to show that there is
some frst-class pitching talent here Bald
win pitched yesterday and kept up the
good work of his two colleagues, Ehret and
Terry. 1t was generally expected that
Ehret would pitch, and when Mark went
into the box there were very grave mis-
giyings about the result of the game. And
when he gave the first two men up their
bases on balls and made a wild pitch there
was general cry for Ehret Miller told
the kickers to "shut up" and they did so.
From that stage on to the finish the
Marquis of Homestead pitched in great
form and had those terrors from Beanland
completely at bis mercy.
The weather was excellent and there were
800 people present. OF late it has been
the misfortune of the team to do their bad
work in presence of big audiences, and
when the splendid audience of yesterday
was gathered superstitious cranks were sure
that something would drop" Something
did drop, sure enough, but it fell on the
fellows from Boston
Mike Kelly Did Very Well.
Mike Kelly and Ehret again umpired and
too many kind things cannot be said about
Michael Angelo. He had lots of close de-
cisions TO tackle and he gave them to the
home team; in fact, once or twice Mike was
90 eager to give the locals fair play that the
visitors hardly got their Que. In the eighth
inning Kelly acted the part of an honest
man and gentleman, if ever man did on
the ball field Smith knocked the ball to
the right field fence and the bail landed
close to the foul line. Ehret called it q fair
ball and there was considerable kicking To
keep matters as pleasant as possible the
home PLAYERS said they would act on what
Kelly said. He appealed to and he
also called it fair ball.
This caused Nichols to kick terribly, and
he for time refused to continue the game
Kelly got his watch out and said: t'Now
you have q minute to make up your mind
This brought Mr.. Nichols to time. Kelly
was standing at first base when the ball
was knocked away, and if any body was able
to Judge the ball he was
Kid Sicho Was Un,ucky.
Nichols pitched an admirable game, but
was awfully unlucky. The hits made off
his delivery were made mostly after some
blunder or other had been committed.
Nichols really worked hard to win, but his
side couldn't hit the ball and all his great
pitching was in vain.
The fielding Of the home PLAYERS was
brilliant. Shugart, although credited with
an error really played magnificent game
and ran bases like a deer.
Run getting commenced in the second
, half Of the second inning, Beckley led off
aud Knocked out fly to the left foul line.
Nash ran for it and caught it while lie stood
on fair ground but he left the ball drop and
Beckley reached second. Farrell struck
and Cancel missed the third strike and
while he was throwing Farrell out at first
Beckley got to third. Shugart got his base
on balls and a wild pitch sent Beck lev
home and Shugart got to third. Bierbauer's
sacrifice scored Shugart
Runs Became Somewhat Scarce.
There was not much like run until the
seventh inning. In the second half of that
inning, after two men were out, Shuyart
got his base on balls. Bierbauer followed
with a single to right center and Mccarthy
fumbled the ball. Shugart kept on running
and scored, Bierbauer reaching second.
Baldwin then surprised everybody by
knocking out q single to left and scoring
BierbaueE
In the eighth inning, after Donovan was
out, Smith made his three-bagger and scored
on single by Kelly.
In the ninth inning, after Duffy was out.
Long got to first on a tumble BY Farrell. |
Ganzell got his, base on balls and Nash |
made a single to center, scoring Long.
Some people thought it was looking soualiy |
again, but Tucker was put out at first, the |
two runners going each base onward. |
Lowe sent a not grounder to Shupart. who |
brilliantly stopped it and threw Lowe out |
at FIRST, aud the jig was up. The score:
