strong stagger to get weeks clean vic
tories but they put clincher on it yester-
day, and when the contest was over the big
majority OF the 5, 100 people present were
talking very loudly about pennant chances
Are Not Awfu'ly Ambitious
But the sluggers have not very strong
aspirations ior championship honors and if
they can only keep from getting any lower
down the list than where they are, the local
public will be very content, and so will the
PLAYERS themselves With about one e1-
ception the six games have been won by
excellent ball playing. The l'cal team
have defeated the Bsltimores 9 lite easily,
but it must not be forgotten that the local
PLAYERS during the last shree games have
->heen pSstling ap aquaIity of ball that would
almost defeat any team in the country. The
pitching and the fielding and the hitting
have all been of a championship kind. And
that is the kind OF ball that the home men
played yesterday.
Terry pitched for the home team, and 1t
was his third game during the week. Be
sides these three games he relieved Esper
in one when the latter got into difficulties
against the New Yorks. This is quite a fine
record for Terry, and nobody is more mod
est over doing brilliant WORK than William.
He is pitching in his old-time brilliant
form, but q willing horse may be worked to
DEATH
1t Was Rather Interesting.
Yesterdays contest was an Improvement
OF the previous two with Baltimore as far
as closeness was concerned; but still it was
somewhat one-sided and the visitors never
looked dangerous McMahon pitched very
well, but the local batters were in hitting
humor, and they were capable of touching
any pitcher. The fielding of the home
PLAYERS was Just as admirable as it has been
in their recent games Shugart in the third
inning made very remarkable catch Of
liner from Robinson's bat The feat caused
SEugart TO be cheered again and again. In
the ninth inning Donovan made running
ca ch of liner from Gunson's bat that was
almost as brilliant as that of Shugart
DonOvan stouped three-bagger sure. And
Patsy was hitting the ball merrily and SO
was Bierbauer.
4 Foor Lot of Players.
The fielding of the visitors was a little
shaky, and TO tell the truth Manager Han
lon has very, very poor infeld. The
team generally hit the ball a bit better
Yesterday than thev did Thursday and Fri
day, but they must improve wonderfully if
they want to escape last place in the race
again.
After the visitors had been blanked in the
first halt Of the first inning Miller made a
nice single 10 center and stole second, aided
by wild pitch. Donovan's single sent
Miller to third and Donovan got to second
on a passed ball. Elmer Smith made a
scratchy safe hit to Sutcliffe and Miller
scored. and Donovan scored on O'Rourke's
tumble Of Beckley's grounder.
In the second half of the third inning the
local men did some lively slugging, and
thumped in three earned runs Donovan
started of with a single to center, and
Smith sent an easy fly to O'Rourke, which
was caught Shugart made single, and so
dId Beckley. Farrell knocked out long
fy to Stovey, and then Bierbauer made q
single, and all this earned the three runs.
The Visitors Started Score.
In the fifth inning the visitors got run
on a base on balls, an out, sacrlhce hit
and a single by Robinson. In the sixth
inning an out and Stovey's three-bagger to
the left center fence earned another run.
SUoyey tried to make a homer Oh his hit,
but good fielding on the part of Stencil
caused him to be easily put out near the
plate.
In the seventh inning the home players
made two more earned runs on Donovan's
safe bunt and BecSley's home run to the
right field fence.
The visitors made three runs in the eighth
inning on McMahon's safe bunt, a sac rlflce
each by Shlndle and SuIclitfe and singles
each by O'Rourke, Stovey and McGaw and
wild pitch. The score:
