Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-28

mendable, but when it is turned in such a
way as to paralyze the other chaps it is
glorious And that is just what the Phillies
did, and most assuredly they felt very
glorious indeed when they completely
thumped out victory in the ninth inning
That effort Just made the home team and
the spectators feel as if they did not want
to live.
Those wfully Big Hits.
Big Roger Connor was the desperate who
did all the execution, or at least the fatal
part of it, and the way he welted the ball
the last two times he had 90 at it ought to
make Reddy Ehret remember the occasion
for long time to come.
How cheeringly everything was sailing
a'onC until that seventh inning came. The
calls were four and the visitors were only
on" Tim Keefe had been touched up at
s. ch lively rate that he was retired to the
bench at the end of six innings. Victory
was certain for the home team; that's what
every man, woman and child who were
looking at the game thought. But that dull
sickening thud, aye several of them, came
and the scene was entirely changed Just at
the very last step of the struggle. Such
things occur in baseball; they have often
happened before in Pittsburg and will do so
again no doubt.
The attendance was excellent and the
weather very pleasant, and it was a pity
that once more big audience was doomed
to see local defeat 1t often happens that
the best audiences get their tempers ruff1ed
br unexpected defeats, but yesterdays sud-
len turn in affairs was due to nobody ex-
sept Red Ehret and the big thumpers of the
Philadelphia team The latter whacked
rui their victory clean off the stick end;
hey reserved their big Iicks until they
y're needed, and then they were given in a
way that ended all disputes.
The Fielding VI as Perfect.
The fielding of the home team was per-
'ect ard the playing of Bierbauer was
marvellous. 1t really was worth the price
of admission to see that young mans work
at second. Without a doubt he is now
playing game that has not been equaled.
Yesterday he had IL chances and accepted
them all to the Queens taste. Nor did any
member of the team make q fielding error,
so that there was really nothing left to
complain about but the inability of Ehret
to sufficiently fool the opposing batsmen.
Had Tim Keefe been continued in the box
the home players might have won, but
when Carsey replaced him in the seventh
inning only three hits were made in the
balance of the game and only one run. The
change was a wise one on the part of
Manager Wright.
In the first inning, after Miller was out,
Donovan made single to right and Smith
made another in the same direction.
Thompson fumbled Smiths hit, and when
he (Thompson) threw the ball TO Reilly the
latter dropped the ball. and as q result
Donovan scored and Smith reached third.
Kelly knocked out fly which both Dele
hanty and Thompson ran for The former
got it but dropped the ball, and Smith
scored.
The visitors scored in their half of the
inning. Hamilton made scratch hit, stole
second and got to third on a sacrifice by
Reilly. a wild pitch scored the run.
Runs Were Hard to Get.
Run getting now became very rare. In
the fourth Farrell started off with base on
balls and Shugart's fly was caught by Hail.

Ond Ehret made q single to right and
Bierbauer scored on the hit; Thompson's
tumble and tumble by Hallman allowed
Bierbauer to score. In the sixth inning,
after Beckley was out, Farrell knocked the
bali to right field for three bases and scored
on Shugart's single TO left.
Keefe now retired and Carsey took his
place Ehret had been pitching So well
that no more runs were looked for. But in
the second half of the seventh after Hail.

Phillies, and the death knell began to
sound for the home players Thompson
made single to left and Delehanty made .

sibly caught the ball from Delehanty's bat
had he made good try. Then Connor sent

and Dowse made single to center Alto j

they tied the score.
1t was nothing and nothing in the eighth
and then came the ninth. Shugart led off
with safe hit to short and Bierbsuer made
single to left, sending Shugart to third.
Ehret fouled out and when Shugart scored
on MiIler's long fly to Delehanty there
were yells and cheers. The run was looked
upon as the winning run.
Rut the enthusiasm soon was quelled.
Delshsnty started of for the visitors and
