Gave voodcock Another Try.

Gave woodcock Another Try.
Captain Burns resolved to give Wood
cock another try, mostly because Smiths
arm was sore The college youth was quite
willing to try again, but in the very first
inning five hits were made off his delivery,
including home run, and five runs were
scored. This was too much for the cranks,
and they yelled, Take him out" Captain
Burns did this and sent in Gumbert, and
then the cranks yelled "Woodcock, Wood
cock" That is just a sample of the strange
kind of sentiment and conflicting notions
manager of n Pittsburg ball team has to
contend with. Woodcock did not do as bad
as the record would seem to indicate.
Three of the hits were of the luclliest and
most scratchy kind, and the batters Just
managed to reach first on them. But it is
apparent that Woodcock is little slow for
League company
Gumbsrt Again Did Very Wen.
Gumbert pitched really good game and
il looks as if ne would become a good man
with steady practice. Several times ne was
tested and showed great nerve and delibera-
tion. In the tenth inning he was little
wild, but altogether he did very well, in
deed
The Clevelands are an excellent team of

safe to saw that if Gumbert had pitched the
entire ten innings they would have been
beaten Cuppy pitched very effectively
after the first inning and he was tolerably
well supported.
The local PLAYERS started off like winners,
and they made the hearts of the spectators
glad. Miller got his base on balls and
reached third on Bierbauer's single to CEN
ter. Miller scored on Shugart's hy to Nc
Daol-lo,- -
second Farrell next banged out three
bagger to right center, scoring Becklev, and
Smiths single scored Farrell That looked
all right, but the visitors did better than
that
Childs made single to right and Burkett
made a lucky scratch hit to the infeld.
Davis walked up to the plate and after
taking in the situation he banged the ball
10 the left field fence for home run Nc
AleeT's fly was caught hy Corkhill and
then Tebeau and Virtue each made lucky
scratch hit
An Error That Was Costly.
O'Connor knocked a grounder to Farrell
which was fumbled and Tebeau scored,
Virtue reaching third and O'Connor
second. Virtue scored on Zimmer's fly to
Corkhill and Cuppy struck out.
Gumbert went in to pitch in the second
inning and not a run was made by the op-
posing team until the seventh inning. In
the meantime the home players had taken
the lead. They did so in the fifth inning
after two men were out. Bierbauer and
Shugart were the outs and Beckley struck
out but passed ball allowed him to reach
first. Farrell got his base on balls and
then Elmer Smith caused the crowd to
jump and veil like Indians by knocking out
a home run to the left field fence
Ia the seventh inning, after Burkett was
out, Davis made single and stole second
McAleer knocked fly which Smith caught,
and then Patsy Tebeau whacked the ball to
the left field fence and was put out in try
ing to make home run of the hit Smith
made fine throw to Farrell and the latter
made Just as fine throw to the plate.
In the tenth inning Davis led off for the
Clevelands with very luckey bunt hit
which was safe. Shugart got McAleer's fy
and then Tebeau and Virtue were each sent
TO first on balls. Davis was forced out at
the plate by O'Connor's srounder to Shugart.
thinner knocked grounder to Shugart, q
very easy one, and ''Shug" fell all over it
and the game was lost, as Tebeau got home
and thinner WAS safe AT first The Soora.
