Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-07-26

thew have recently been reading John
Wards treatise on how to play the national
game. At any rate they were not slow to
take all the advantage of their opponents
that they could. AS result the Wonders
were vanquished and the home crowd feels
as blue as the color of the Pittsburgers' uni
forms This Pittsburg blue by the way, is
As disagreeable a shade as can be imagined
They Played Well and Lost.
The Brooklyns didn't play such miserable
ball, and Hart pitched winning game, but
the peculiar way in which his supporters
did not coter the bases may account for the
defeat There is no excuse for 1t, for the
home PLAYERS were out in full force with
Jovce on third and Burns back in right
field. Once Joyce stopped ground hit
and would have thrown the ball to second
TO catch Beckley, but Ward was chewing a
blade of grass some Is feet to the left of the
base and Corcoran was too far away to be of
any use. Although not disastrous the neg
ligence was the straw which went to show
which wav the wind blew. Later in the
seventh inning Brouthers got the ball, but
when he had finished glancing at each of
the three bases with a supplementary look
in the direction of the home plate the bats
man had reached first and there was a run
in. Two remarkably good double plays did
much to make up for these glaring errors of
Judgment. Burns caught Baldwin's fly and
by quick return caught the ambitious
Pittsburger who was close on to third base.
Avery Neat Double Play.
Afterward Ward took up Mack's grounder
and got to second before Bierbauer who was
making for the bag. Then John put the
ball to Brouthers and Mack was out The
M. l. h,,f
only an ordinary every day play.
For the first time in quite while the
Brooklyns went first to the bat. Griffin led
of and touched Baldwin up for hit TO left.
Mike reached second on young Corcoran's
sacrifice and third on Miller's wild throw.
A single by Brouthers put Griffin across
the plate. When the Brooklyns went to
the bat in the third inning Mack had taken
Miller's place behind the bat and Miller
went to short field to replace Shugart in
that position. The latter retired because of
lameness. The visitors forged ahead in the
fourth inning. With one out Beckley
drove a corking oounder over second base,
by which be reached the initial bag Hart
gave Smith his base on balls and Farrell
followed in Smiths footsteps. Kelly hit
the ball hard and Brouthers could not
stoop low enough az 1t went by him. Beck
ley and Smith scored. Then came Burns
double play.
In this inning Ward singled for Brook
lyns and tried to steal second. Mack at
tempted to throw him out. but joyce got in
the way. Mack didn't throw and claimed
interference.
Tricky Playing Called Down.
Emslie agreed with the Pittsburg catcher
and Ward was sent back to first, while
Joyce was declared out This spoiled
Brooklyns chance for run as O'Brien and
DAILY flied out. Griffin scored a second run
for Brooklyn in the fifth. He Knocked the
ball into left field for base, was put on
third or Corcoran's base hit to right and
went home when Miller fumbled Dan
Brouthers' grounder.
In the seventh and eighth the Pittsburgs
increased their lead. First Baldwin went
to first as the result of Hart's uncertainty
and he made his run on singles by Miller
and Donovan. Beckley started off with a
two-base hit in the last inning Pittsburg
was at the bat. Smiths sacrifice and Far
rell's nice hit to left field earned the run.
The Brooklyns all but tied the score in the
ninth. DAILY singled and Hart sacrificed.
Griffin was given base on balls. Corcoran
made a good attempt to place the ball
safely Just over Beckley's head but Dono-
van was too quick for him. Brouthers
came to time with beauty to left field
and DAILY scored. Griffin tried to make
third but Smith was up to the trick and
Mike was thrown out The score:
