PRESIDENT BYRNE FILES A PROTEST

After thinking the matter carefully over
the management of the Brooklyn team de-
cided 10 play two games yesterday after
noon for one price of admission as a matter
of courtesy to the baseball public of Pitts
burg, and the two games were played, each
getting one. That was quite fair divy,
but, oh! the local sluggers got there only
after one of the closest and most exciting
tusSles that has ever been witnessed in or
about Pittsburg. 1t is safe to say that those
of the :, 900 spectators who were roofing for
Pittsburg never sat so uneasily on their
seats in their lives before. At stages mat
tiers were close. and the visitors looked so
mach like winners that huge beads of per-
spiration were standing on hundreds OF
brows, and, when tight hole was escaped
from, the sighs of relief could be heard
nearly a mile away. 1t was, indeed,
An Excruciating Affair.
A pins-and-needles contest was not in it.
1t was really like the case OF somebody
leading one to the brink of precipice and
when about to throw you over some unseen
hand would prevent the catastrophe. And
the absolute finish of the game was the most
remarkable and the most exciting stage of
it. Old Pop Corkhill crowned himself with
glory bv throwing a man out at the plate.
Had the run scored the score would have
been tied, but as It was it retired the Brook
lyns and won the game.
Certainly baseball is exciting after all
that was seen in that game.
baldwin and Hart were the pitchers, and
Ii is safe to sav they never had better test
OF their pluck and skill. Baldwin never
pitched better game and never displayed
better judgment, and it may have been that
his Judgment one occasion, viz, in pur-
poSelv giving Brnuthers his base on balls
saved the day. Ali told, Mark only gave
three bases on balls and only seven hits
were made off him. That was splendid
work against such a terrific lot of players
like the wonders.
he was well supported, but the home
talent could not do much with Hart. He is
a good pitcher and the errors of his col
leagues lost the game for him. Ward was
out OF form as far a. playing was concerned,
but in kicking John is just as active as
ever And SO are his team. They can
kick, and they did it from start to finish.

so did Mack. Carkhill was forced out at
third nv Baldwin's short grounder and |
then Wards wild throw allowed Miller to
reach first all right and the bases were full.

reach first. Shusart made single and 81
did Corkhill, Becklev scoring and Shugart |
reaching third. Mack'S sacrifice hit scored
Shugart.
In the fifth inning, after Brouthers was ont,
Foutz got lucky one down the right foul |
liHe for three bags Then Griffin got an
other down the right line for two bags, and |
Foutz Tailed. This gave everybody the |
shakes. but Corcoran and DAILY went out in !
order. In the seventh inning the visitors /
were led of by Dalv. He was put out at |
first. and Hart got his base on balls. Collins |
went out on flv to Shugart, and Ward |
made single and so did Jovce, scoring 1
Hart. With man on second and third |
Brouthers came up, and Baldwin was little /
nervous of Dennis and gave him his base on |
balls, filling the bases amid great excite
ment Foutz faced Baldwin, and a hit |
meant a great deal. but Dave couldn't make |
il. lie 1OIcei BTOulUe1S out Ill ScCOuu, re-
tiring the side
When II Was Exciting.
In the ninth Griffin reached first on an |
error by Farrell. Corcoran was caught out !
bv Beck lev, and another error by Farrell |
allowed Daly to reach second and Griffin |
third. 1t was now desperate for Baldwin. /
Mark struck Hart out, but Collins sent ont |
a rattling single to right scoring Griffin. |
Dalv also tried to score, but Corkhill threw |
the ball home with wonderful aim, and Dalv |
was jus, nabbed on the post by Mack, and |
cheers rent the air as the game was ended.
The second game was almost devoid Of in
terest, as the visitors had it all their own
way. Old Sport Calvin started in to pitch, |
but he retired at the end of the fourth |
inning. after six runs had been made and |
six hits of his delivery. Camp took his
place. In the third inning Earle relieved
Mack, as the latter did not feel well. Old
Sport was touched mp for four hits bv the
first four men who faced him, and that was
a settler.
On the other band, the local sluggers
could do nothing at all with Inks. Miller
was the only man to hit the ball safe in the
eight innings Inks is good man, and he
has an excellent team behind him, and no
mistake. He also had three hits to his
credit, but they were of the extremely
scratchv kind. Good hitting earned four of
the eight runs and bad fielding made the
other four. The home players felded badly
in the game, and their playing was great
contrast to that of the first game.
Camp pitched fairly WELL and it NAV be
that he will be worked ottener than hereto
fore. In the fifth inning Griffin received a
violent blow on the thumb when striking at
foul ball, and ne had to retire, Hart taking
his place.
The game was called at the end of the
eighth inning on account of rain. The
score:
