Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1892-07-27


II was nip and tuck yesterday, and although
the mercury stood at the century mark. vet the
way the Brownies hammered the horse hide gave
even those sweltering on the bleachers the
chills. For the greater part of the gnrne Mr.
Won der Ahe's young man Breitenstefn was con-
siderable Of q puzzle. while the visitors took
very kindly 10 Killen's delivery. At one time
they had three times ss many hits a. the home
team vet the locals were in the lead. For some
reason Mr. Irwin does not believe in taking out
q pitcher when he Is being pounded. so hilen
had 10 stay on the bag and take his medicine.
Fortunately. the almost perfect fielding Of the
home team kept the visitors hits from being
too effective but as Breitenstein was not being
hit hard IL would seem rs though another
pitcher should have been substituted for killen.
But success excuses everything. so doubtless
yesterdays victory will be regarded by the
manager friends another "vindlcation.
Breiteustein gave the game away. The visit
ors hit hard enough to win. In fact. they
earned six of their eight runs. Washington
earning only three Of their ten. and yet only
one error was made on each side. The error of
Robinson inexcusable. He tried TO throw
O runner out at first when there was q base run
ner on the line coming toward him from second.
He threw high and both were safe. Richard
son has a way of coming to the rescue with q
hit when il Ia needed. Consequently it was no
surprise when he raped out a double Yesterday
with three men ON bases and cleared the dia-
mond Difficult stops made by Cooney and
Richardson were heartily cheered by the 800
present. II was q see-ssw game, and BY timely
hitting the visitors pulled ahead. Then the
home team spurted. Again the visitors tied the
score. Then in the tenth. on two doubles, a
sacrifice and Q single, two more runs were
scored and this lead Won der Ahe's hired men
could not overcome. Today the Chicagos.

''Pspa's Colts" won q lucky game yesterday
at Baltimore. Two of their five hits brought
in the winning run in the eighth inning. The
home team outbatted the visitors. Its only err
ror was Inexpensive. and Yickery was invulner-
able after the first inning. A base on balls and
a wild pitch in that inning allowed the Colts TO
score two runs. In the eighth Dahlen made a
hit, stole second and third and scored the win
ming run on Anson's hit Van Haltren pounded
Luby for seven bases in four times ut the bat.
Attendance, 1872 Score. 8 to 2.
