been seen here formany wears If they
cannot put up 100 per cent better ar
ticle of ball the sooner they retire from the
League the better.
A home victory is always a cheering cir
cumstance, but when victories gained be-
cause of the extremely yellow kind of work
that the Orioles put off their hands it is
very wearisome to those who like to see
good ball playing and close arguments.
viii Keep Their Title.
1t seems as if the visitors of yesterday are
determined not to lose their cognomen, 'The
Bum Baltimnres." Why players like
shoch should be retained in q big League
when there are so many good men out of
work is problem that only the Baltimore
management can answer. The truth is the
team must be improved or else every other
club will be losers, as people will soon tire
of putting up so and 75 cents a crack to see
the Baltimores play.
McMahon, who is good pitcher, started
of all right, but he soon became disgusted
because of two things. One was the bad
support accorded him and the hitting of the
home players. They had their eve on the
ball, and banged it right and left with
vengeance. But still the score should not
have been as one-sided as it was if the field
ing of the visitors had been even up to our
local amateur standard.
The home players put up a fine game,
there not being fielding error recorded
against them. The umpire gave them the
benefit of almost all the close decisions and
this caused any amount of kicking on the
part OF the men from Baltimore.
They Yelled at Gaffney.
The crowd, too, yelled considerably at
Gaffney's decisions, showing that goodlv
number of the spectators had invested their
loose change on the visitors chances of vic
tory.
And many people went to the game feel
ing certain that the local sluggers would
lose simply because Mark Baldwin was
going to pitch But Mark fooled these peo-
pie awfully. He pitched a splendid game
although he was wild in his delivery few
times. Outside of that he pitched as he
can pitch and the alleged players from the
city of monuments could do nothing with
him when he got the ball across the plate
1t is only fair to say that Baldwin has had
luck dead against him in his games this
year. He is an effective pitcher and when
everything is going all right. batters who
face him know the fact. The only run
scored against him was of his own making
by giving base on balls. Had it not been
for that shortcoming on his part he would
have shut them out without run.
The second inning was reached before q
run was made. McMahon was in good form
and runs were hard to get Beckley started
the inning BY knocking out lucky two
bagger to left field. In making a double of
it Jake gave wonderful exhibition of
sliding to the base. Shugart knocked out a
short infeld hit and Beckley was put out
between second and third Corkhill made
a single to right and the hit and Mack's
sacrifice scored Shugart.
The Expert Mr.. Shoch.
In the fourth inning Beckley again started
of and reached first on a tumble by the
expert error-maker, Mr.. Shoch. Shugart
made safe hit and errors bv Robinson and
Welch scored Beckley. In the fifth inning
another run was made and the team were
glad to get them one at a time at this stage.
Miller knocked a single to left field and
Wood allowed the ball to roll past him and
George rounded the bases before the ball
was returned.
The sixth inning came, and the visitors
simply went all to pieces. Beckley again
led off, and Shoch was SO determined that
Jake should reach first that he (Shoch) ran
in front of Pickett to tumble Jake's
grounder. Beckley stole second, and was
put out at third on Shugart's grounder to
McMahon. A wild pitch by Gilbert sent
Shugart to second and third. Corkhill
knocked the ball to the infeld, and the
time Shugart was lodging the fielders be-
tween third and home Corkhill got to first.
Shugart lodged successfully, and got back
to third all right. Then Mack scored both
men by a three-bagger. Baldwin followed
with hit, scoring Mack, and George the
Fifth went up to the plate
Midget MiIIer's Big Hit.
Mcmahon tried George with nice "dew
drop" and the midget banged 1t square on
the nose sending the ball right to left fence
for home run. Shugart's double, Cork
hills sacrifice and Mack's life hit; Bald
wins sacrifice and Miller's single netted
two more runs in the seventh.
In the eighth, after Smith was out, Far
rell raped out triple to right center and
Beckley sent out a f1v in the same direction,
which Welch muffed Farrell scored and
Beckley reached third on the error.
Shugart came next with another three-bag-
ger, and scored on Corkhill's single.
The visitors run was made on Pickett's
base on balls, a single by Gilbert and
sacrifice by Robinson. The score:
