The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-08-21

from Spokane yesterday in game remark
able principally for the light hitting of the
two teams. Both boxmea pitched won
derfully effective bali, ana there should
have been an exciting contest. but it was
too one-sided to keep the interest FROM
dragging. The Hustlers' sacrifice hitting
ana base running, helped cut by the mis-
plays Of their opponents. made victory
come easy.
Notwithstanding the base hits were
evenly divided. McGinHis pitched a
stronger game than Boroners from the
fact that he was much steadier. He struck
out nine men, was hit safety three times,
and allowed three to 60 to first on balls.
GiIliland, who has been hating the ball
very hard of late, was completely at
Macs" mercy. striking out four
times in as many times at bat.
The support given By the Hus-
throw by Letcher from deep left field be-
ing the only error, and it DID no harm. 1t
was temporary loose battery work, fol-
lowed up by sacrifice fly 20 the outfield,
that gave Spokane her Only run. Irwin
and Hatfield did some clever work in
handling ground balls. as did both of them
in running the bases. There was, how
ever, no work done on either side to create
q sensation.
Although Borchers kept Seattle's base
hit column down to such SHALL figures his
work suffered somewhat from his occas-
lonal wlldness. Five bases on balls and a
wild pitch helped along the run-getting of
his opponents. Two of the three hits
made off his delivery came IN the same in
ming, and with sacrifice sandwiched be-
tween them, furnished Seattle the only
earned run of the game. Wilson's back
stopping was rather shaky and he
had two wild throws. each of which
was responsible for a rum SpOkane's
other error, Giliiland's mutt of thrown
ball, also gave chance f0r run. The
best work of the team was that of Gus
Klopf, who made several bretty running
catches in center field. Harry Raymond
captured foul fly in brilliant style while
running out with it towagd the fence.
With the stick klopf and Wilson each got
in double, but neither was productive of
a run. The other hi. was a. scatch, MARI
beating out slow grouuder: TO Minnehan
on a close decision.
The Hustlers got in their first run in the
hemus took first on balls. On a short
passed ball he started for second, and Will
sons wild throw past Recci,ss sent him to
third. Hatfield hit foulfly, of which
Raymond made a pretty capture, and
home after the catch. IRWIN also fouled
out to Raymond.
In Spokane's half of the second Wilson
hit to left field for two bases after Boards
out, but was left there by Reccius and
Fitzgerald both going down on strikes.
Seattle got another run easily in the
second. Tom Parrott was sent to first on
balls and took third on a wila pitch. Nc
Ginnis struck out. When Izptcher hit q
short fly to Klopp, Parrot started home,
and would probably have been thrown out
at the plate if he had gone ahead, but Ray
mond got in the runners wax and spoiled
his start by blocking HIM. knight
promptly sent Parrot home, although
Raymond insisted that there had been no
Intentional hindrance on his part.
The Hustlers earned a russ in the fifth.
Hatfield opened with a single past short,
and took second on Twins sacrifice to
Raymond. Tom Parrot struck out.
Then, as Hatfield started fsr steal of
second, Gus McGinnis cracked out a pretty
single past second. and the manager
scored. Letcher went out en- a fly to
klopf.
The same inning saw the visitors only
run, which was gift. Reccius, who was
first up, struck out. Fitzgerald was sent
to first on balls, took second on a wild
pith, and third on a passed ball. Mari
hit long fly to Letcher and Fitz
scored after the CATCH, Letcher's
throw in could not have shut
off the runner had it been perfect,
but it went high over Earles' head and let
Borchers, who had been sent to first on
balls. go to second. But he got no farther,
as Raymond made the third out on q
grounder TO McGinnis.
In the sixth Seattle increased her score
by another run. Willie Lange hit to
Reccius and went to third ois Gilliland's
failure to hold the second baseman's
assist. From there Port Townsend"
scored on Minnehan's fly to Knapp.
LANCE brought in another ran. the last
one of the game, in the eigth Inning. He
reached first on balls, and sole second
cleanly. He then made dash for third
and came home on Wilson's high throw
over Raymond's head. The sc.,re:
