Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-04-27

10 pllcn In WllnnOIulng lnlS lact lToul tne
public, Manager Chapman simply lost his
club and the local club a considerable
amount of dollars.
Wanted to See Jones.
Everybody wanted to see Jones, and
doubtless had the chieftain of the Colonels
told the public that Alexander the Great
was going to perform, a general holiday
would have been declared at Homestead.
And Jones, the marvellous. is worth look
ing at. He was the great barrier between
our sluggers and victory yesterday. He
didn't even allow them the remotest hope of
victory, and whenever an aspiration for such
a thing was manifested he nipped il in the
bud. He is, indeed, a marvellous young
man. comparing his work yesterday with the
work of other pitchers who have performed
here this season. The venerable John Cork
hill was the only local man who came any
where near sizing the Homestead wonder
up. Try as they could, our slugsers couldn't
make a mark against Alexander, except
Becklev, who made one hit His thump and
Corkhill's two were all that were made.
Jones may strike a snag one of these DAYS,
but if he keeps up his work of yesterday
that day is not likely to come vet awhile.
He has speed and curves that make him a
very good man, and he is a credit to that
borough that has already produced many
good performers in the national game
contests.
When 1t Was Close.
Up to the sixth inning the game was q
brilliant one, and q pitchers battle of the
very best kind. Baldwin was pitching in
his best form, but in the second half of that
inning a decision by Umpire Lynch gave
the Louisvilles run, which allowed
second run to be scored, and that upset
Mark completely. 1t was the general opin-
ion that Jones should have been out at first
base, and that would have retired the side.
But he was declared safe and run scored,
and Jones subsequently Tailed also The
decision was a close one, and certainly
Umpire Lynch must be credited with doing
what he thought was right, and his judg-
ment probably was more correct than that of
the spectators.
After that inning the local talent were not
in the hunt. But if Baldwin had pitched as
remarkable game after that as did Jones,
victory would still have been on the side of
the Colonels Three hits cannot win game,
and the only fault, if there could reason
ably be any found, was the inability of the
Pittsburgers to connect with the delivery of
marvellous Alexander.
For the first four innings everything went
as nice and as brisk as a new Yacht in a
pleasant breeze. But the fifth came, and
after the local representatives had done
nothing the visitors broke the ice. Mr..
Taylor led off with two bagger-a real
lucky one. He reached third on Billy
Kuehne's sacrifice, and then Grim Knocked
a grounder to Baldwin. Mark got the ball
and Taylor was rushing for home. He
stopped and was bottled up between third
and the home plate. He dodged about
long enough, however, to allow Grim to
reach third and then was touched out be-
tween the bases.
There Was Kick.
Jones followed and knocked grounder
to Bierbauer, who juggled the ball for a
moment or so. He made a good throw to
first, but Jones, who is quite sprinter, was
at first base before the ball, according to the
opinion of Mr. Lynch. The crowd thought
thought he wasn't and there was some loud
hooting and yelling. At any rate, Grim
scored Tom Brown appeared next and he
banged the ball in between Miller and
Corkhill Miller tried to get it but tailed,
and Tom was credited with three bagger,
scoring Jones
In the seventh inning, after Kuehne was
out, Ryan sent out a two-baser to left field
and he scored on Smiths muff of Jones' fly.
Brown made a single hit, and Jones, who
had reached second on Smiths error, scored.
In the eighth inning Baldwin was little
easy. Seery, Browning, Jennings and Tay-
