The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-08-22

as it afterward proved. the league season,
with Spokane yesterday with the fourth
successive victory from the Bunchgrassers,
won as easily as have been all of the
others. 1t was a very loosely played
game, especially on the part of the
visitors. who piled up no less than eleven
errors. About the only redeeming feature
OF the game was the pitching Of kid"
Camp. who allowed the Spokane batsman
but four hits, one of which was a scratch.
He struck out six men and gave but one
base on balls. The fielding of the team
behind him was very fair, but they did not
put much life into their play. They hit
the ball pretty regularly and generally
brought in runs when they wanted them.
Polhemus and Irwin led in this respect.
Owing to the absence of Letcher, Mciin-
mis- was placed in left field.
The visitors needed a bushel basket to
hold their errors, Ollie Beard especially
having a bad day. They could do practi-
eaily nothing with the stick, and but for
the home teams errors and luck hit that
rolled under the fence they would not
have scored. Gilliland secured two of
their four hits, one a single and the other
a home run. Lefty" MARI had a double
and Beard a single.
Billy Earle opened the game with
pretty single past Beard, and took second
on Lange's sacrifice. After Minnehan
flied out Polhemus hit hot grounder that
Reccius let get away from him, and Earle
came home from second by fast sprinting.
Hatfield went out at first on grounder to
Raymond.
Lefty" MARI led off for Spokane with
two-bagger to the left field fence. Ray
mond's sacrifice sent him to third, but he
got no further as Camp settled down to
business and struck out Klopf and Gill
land.
In the second Irwin hit safe to LEFT and
took second when Borchers let the ball 60
by him. PARROTS sacrifice sent Irwin to
third. from where he scored on q wild
pitch.
The third furnished two earned runs for
the Hustlers. After Lange's out Mime
han hit safe past short and was sent home
by Polhemus' corking two-bagger to the
right field fence. Hatfield flied out to
Raymond, but Charlie Irwin dropped the
ball in right field for two bases, scoring
"Polly."
Loose work gave the Bun chgrassers a
brace of runs in the fourth, and they came
hcaici w CatSH1HS uP thoh az any tiiuc
during the game. With one hand out,
Gilliland hit grounder to Minnehan, who
was playing deep field. There was no
one to cover first when Danny got hold of
the ball, but he tossed it across the base,
where the man should have been, and Gill
liland kept on to second. Beard dropped
short fly safely back of second and adj
vanced base after Earle's catch Of Will
sons foul fly. Reccius popped up fly
inside of the diamond, and Danny Mime
han ingloriously muifed it. letting Gill;
land score and Beard take third Reccius
started for second at the first opportunity,
drawing a throw from Earle, and then
turning back. Meantime Beard was
sprinting for home and was safe on Tom
Parrott's high throw over Earle's head
Borchers ended the inning by striking out.
The score remained unchanged until the
seventh, when Seattle added a couple of
runs to her share. kid" Camp started
with safe hit. He had splendid start
to steal second when Billy Earle hunted
down to Gilliland, and by fast running the
kid" reached third on the sacrifice Then
Fitzgerald, fearing Willie Lange's proves
with the stick, had Wilson stand to one
side of the plate while he tossed in four
balls. Without Lange attempting more
than a lead of a few feet toward second.
Wilson fired the ball across the diamond
to Beard TO draw Camp home, but the
shortstop let the throw get away from
him while the kid" cantered leisurely in
from third and Lange took second. Then
Polhemus came up with a safe drive to
center that scored Lange. Polly" was
thrown out trying to steal second.
The eighth inning gave the home team
one more run. Hatfield led OFT with a
single. He at once started to steal second.
and Wilson's wild throw sent him To
third. From there he scored on PARROTS
sacrifice hit.
In the ninth Gilliland hit the bali out
past Lange to the fence. 1t was good for two
bases, but the bail found a hole under the
bottom board and crawled through.
While the center fielder was poking his
arm through the hole in a vain attempt to
find the ball Gilliiand made the circuit of
the bases. The score:
