Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-10-01

IN presence OF our sIuSgerS Netefau oach
Chapman, before the game, had well
grounded notion that Clausen in the box
meant victory for the fellows from Louis
willie, but both Mr. Chapman and the youth
Clausen were fooled to very great extent
The Colonels made game fight for awhile,
but the locals went in to settle the matter
and it was settled.
There Were Interesting Stages.
1t was excellent baseball weather, and
there were about l, 700 people present to see
the contest. Generally speaking, the crowd
saw some good playing and one or two very
exciting stages One Of the leading feat
ures of the game was the manner in which
Shugart was received by the audience.
Every time he appeared at bat he had a
rousing cheer greeting him. OF course this
was demonstrative of desire to keep him
here He played one of his best games. and
doubtless the cheers given in his favor were
to influence the club officials to retain him.
This matter must entirely be lett to the
Judgment of the club management, as they
more than ANYBODY else will be responsible
for the change if it takes place. Shugart
is local favorite, but all good and steady
players soon become tavorites, no matter
how sentiment is against them when they
first appear
w
to the local batters, Red Ehret was there
with all his force and cunning. The young
man from Louisville just made a show of
the team from his native heath, and, all
told, they only hit his delivery twice
safely; once a clean single and the second a
little bunt by Brown. Oh, yes; "Red'
pitched ball, and had it not been for a little
thoughtless action on the part of Farrell,
they would have been shut out beauti-
fully.
Donovan Scored, as Usual
In the first inning Donovan led off with q
single to left field and reached second on
Farrell's sacrifice. A passed ball sent
Donovan to third. and he scored on a long
fly by Van haltren. Miller got his base on
balls and Becklev made single, but Smith
struck cut, retiring the side.
The score stood one to nothing until the
sixth inning, when the visitors got one and
eyened matters up 1t was an accident.
Tom Brown made a safe bunt and got to
second on sacrifice by Taylor Weaver
knocked high fly to Donovan and Brown
started to make third on the throw in.
Donovan made splendid throw and Far
rell got the bail and made pass at Brown.
Farrell though. he had touched Brown out
and threw the ball into the diamond. The
umpire didn't think as Farrell thought and
Brown darted for home, and before Ehret
could pick up the ball and throw it to
Miller Brown had scored the only run of
the visitors. Farrell was credited with q
wild throw.
The seventh inning came and the sluggers
took the lead. Shugart got his base on
balls and stole second aided by muff by
Whistler Ehret went out at first and
Donovan's sacrifice sent Shugart to third
Farrell then got solid crack at the ball
and knocked it past Weaver for home run. :
Where the Victory Was CIinched.
In the eighth inning Miller reached first
on wild throw by Jennings. Beckley made
q sacrifice hit and Merritt tried to throw
Miller out at second, but failed. Miller
tried to steal third and was nabbed. Smith
followed with a nice two-bagger to right
and Beckley scored. Smith stole third and
scored on Bierbauers single Shugart
struck out, and while Bierbauer was trying
to reach second on the third strike he was
thrown out.
Van Haltren had hearty reception. He
made splendid running catch in the eighth
inning of ball from Browns bat The
score:
