COULD NOT HIT HIM.
ouAHLes PROVES AN EFFECTIVE PUz-
zLE FOR THE BAL TiMoRss.
They Find Him but Twice aud Narrowly
Escape BEING shut out-neban
Batted Freely.

ouarles, the Petersburg twirler. pitched
fine game for the yirginias yesterday al
ternoon, and as result OF his superb
work IN the box they defeated the Balti-
mores with perfect ease.
1t was perhaps the most complete VIC
tory IN all respects ever won by Harr-
sons colts. Certainly 1t was the most
creditabIe one, and they were proud of II.
The cranks." some 800 Of whom held the
bieacheries down. were also proud. They
were happy, too, and even grew demon
strative.
Quarles, who has always been fsyorite
here. never appeared IN better form. ne
Is much more muscular than he formerly
was and has gained considerable flesh.
His delivery is much safer than IT was up
TO few months ago, bis speed has IN
creased, and his curves are more deceptive.
He was a complete puzzle TO the Orioles,
who as n rule are good batters. They only
made two insignificant hits and ten tanned
the air.
oNR-sIDED THROUGHOUT.
The game was quite interesting, though
one.sided throughout. The home team
/ were first at the bat. and in the opening
| inning oil nine of their men took up the
SUCK. fOur MUS WtIo ildbV "hN az "+"-'
! runs scored.
/ This beginning seemed 10 dishearten the
men in dark suits, and they were unable
| TO rally afterward. They were nervous at
the bat and slow and unreliable IN the
| field Clark was particularly careless IN
| his work at second.
The Virginias played good game, both
| at the bat and IN the field. Only one OF
| their seven errors really amounted to any
thing. as the visitors were unable until the
! last inning to get n man as far as third
4 base. Mehan was an easy mark Tor them
and he was batted all over the field. 1here
| Is excuse. however, for his defective WORK,
as nc lost the use of his arm last season
and has been unable 10 pitch at all nntil
very recently. When here with the WIN
stons be flied the box very well indeed,
and Donati's Giants found him quite hard
to touch
Yesterdays game was trying one on
the catcberg. Foster was knocked out
| once by a foul ball striking him IN the PIT
of his stomach, and Gantz received seYe-
rnl blows about his body and had ms nm
gers tipped more than once. linen Dody-
protector was sent for.
THEIR ONLY RUN.
The Baltimores made their only run in
the last inning and by mere streak OF
| luck. Sands was given his base on balls
ard got Ground to third on a bad throw OF
! Fosters to second. Farrell gave the horse
hide a gentle tap over toward thlrd oase,
and as It only went half way Sands scored
before Leftwich could get 1t. Mcdonald
then caught hot liner from Gantz's bat
and also cut Farrell of at first, making a
clover double play without assistance.
Mclean failed to reach first and she game
was called. The batting and superior base
running OF West and Shelton were among
the features of the game.
As will be seen from the score, the Balti'
mores changed their battery in the seventh
inning, but it was too late to have any
! effect.
The Balhmores will play the Forest
Hills this afternoon. and the game pro
misses 10 be one of the best of the season
There will doubtless be large crowd.
Hatorf and Lipscomb will constitute th'
Manchester battery.
