CHICAGO, MAY 2L-With 13 PLAYERS on
his staff Anson struck a winning streak and
to-day he scored his thirteenth successive
victory and is now dangerously close to
Brooklyn. To-day's contest was won by
one run, but that solitary figure on the
score board looked as big to Chi
cago cranks as the Auditorium tower
That it was battle Of pitchers goes with
cut saving. PittSburg was represented in
The box by that old-time war horse, Jeems
Calvin. Pitchers may come and pitchers
NAV 60, but Jeema seems to go on
forever. He was little stouter
o. frame and his hair was
more sprinkled with gray than when he
PLAYED here last fall, bu+ Calvin is no back
number, as the two hits credited to the
Colts amply testify. He dependa on fast
and slow balls, alternating them in such
manner that the batters are kept guessing,
and he proved a Chinese puzzle for the
Colts.
Fortune Favored the Colts.
With rare good fortune the locals crept
out of three ticklsh innings in which Pitts
burg threatened to score. Good headwork
prevented their crossing the plate.
Before starting for the grounds young
Dahlen had romr with his baby boy.
Papa, oo1 win. 'ont you?" chartered the
lad. YES my boy, well do 'em up" re-
piled the fond parent. Dahleu was think
ing of this conversation when he went to
day for the Colts. Malachi Kittridge
took reef in his belt when he
strobe up to the plate in the eighth.
lie looked over at Corkhill in center and
grinred. Corkhill grimaced in return.
Then Malachi swatted the ball on the equa-
toriai line and it few right at Corkhil.
Cork" ran upon the ball and his hands
wrapped themselves around the wobbling
sphere. Hes out, groaned the crowd.
Old Pops Fatal Mistake.
Just then CorkhilI let the ball get away
from him anG Kittridgr landed on first.
Hutchinson, who has bet with Kittridge
that he will beat him cut on the season in
batting tried hard to crack out hit; all he
could do was to pop a fly to Beckley. 1t
nearly cost Kittridge his life, but
he went down like hill diver
and back to the sack or mis- chest-protector
Wilmot sent a grounder to Beckley, but
hittridge went on to second Then Dahlen
sailed at Calvin, who sent up a swift
shoulder-high ball. The kid sent it over
Smiths head. Kittridge trudged home
and the game was won.
In the third, after Corkhill's out, Calvin
smote the ball over Dahlen's head for
base and Miller sacriflced. Bierbauer lifted
one of Willie Hutchinson's inshoots
out into center, Calvin rumbled on
TO third where he ought to have
remained but he went for the home
plate and found the bail there ahead of him.
Kittridgc had planted his brogans on the
plate. and Jimmie Ryan made one of his
celebrated outfeld bullseve shots, the
pitcher being the victim. Three thousand
throats opened as one.
Fad a Man on Each Base.
In the fourth Shugart got base on balls
He would have been forced at second by
Recklev but Coonev muffel Anson's throw.
Smith next shot up an easy fly that Hutch
inson did not touch. H stood like dunn
nv at the plate while Hutchinson threw the
bali to Cconev smotherinc Beckley, and
he in turn fired the ball to Anson making
q double play on Smith And in the
seventh, after Hutchinson allowed Smiths
Crounder to get away and DUNCAN had horri
blv misiudged Farrell's ay and Galvin's
base on balls had filed the sacks, Kit
fridge ran back of the visitors bench
and ate up Miller's foul f1v. The air
trembed with cheers and kittridge re-
ccived an ovation. In the seventh Anson
got base on balls and sacrifices sent him to
third. but the looked for hit was not FORTH
coming The star features were Hutchin-
sons superb pitching and brilliant catches
