TO set a pace that kills at the very outset Of
the contest; they could not keep it up and
their competitors distanced them before the
route was half travelled. Calvin was hit
freely throughout, but he managed to scat

Glasscock's men very little sum total
Frank Dwyer gave evidence in the first
inning of What he could do by striking out

tired In the succeeding inning, however,
he was accorded scandalous support and
after the Pittsburgs had secured seven un-
earned runs he gave up in disgust.
Gleason Tried His Hand.

Easton pitched out the game. The contest
was interesting from the fact that both the
teams botted like fends. If Glasscock' s
men had used better Judgment in running
bases, they might at least have made a bet
ter showing in the final score. In this re-
spect the Smoky City lads excelled. They
made the most of every chance afforded
them and had no trouble in piling up
large number of runs. Bierbauer perform ed
some great work at second He was re-
spousible for the cutting off OF at least three
hits which ordinarily would have counted
for the Browns. Werden and Glasscock
did good service, the latter exercising un-
usually quick Judgment in sending the ball
to third and catching Smith off that base
after Miller had hit safely to short in the
third.

a run before the inning ended xCrooks, the
first man at bat for the Browns, took his
base on balls, but was caught soon after

The second was the inning in which the
Pirates got in their good work while the
Browns were soldering.
Little Shugart in Form.
Beckley went out at first Shugart lined
the ball out into left for base and went to
second on wild pitch. Smith was pre-
sented with his first Mack knocked an
