The MORNING News boys gave the Press
boys few points on the subject of ball
| playing yesterday afternoon, defeating
them in an interesting and exciting game
/ by a score of 10 to l6.
The game was fun of errors, mostly
wild throws, but the playing at times was
brilliant, and deserved the applause it re
! ceived from the 300 or more spectators. 1t
was evident from the start that the Press
team was outclassed, and but for the
slowness Of Gordon on first for the MORN
ING NEWS, the score would have been
| greatly different His work was not up
to the standard, and several balls were
| thrown over his head which he walked
! after, allowing the runner to make
! the circuit of the bases. Manager Davis
| promptly fined him two months salary
/ and suspended him until next Saturday.
The battery work of McAlpin and Sulli-
! van was good, but somewhat rusty. The
! battery promises to do better next time.
Sellman on second made some pretty
| stops, but had tendency to throw the
! ball over the first baseman's head or out
of his reach. He assisted in a double
| play which was the feature of the game.
A hot grounder was sent to him, of which
he made pretty pick up and threw to
| MahOney, who covered second, retiring
the runner there and passing the ball to
first, retiring the batter amid loud
applause.
Morrissey on third played that corner
| like an old-timer and hit the ball hard
and often His all round playing was one
of the features of the game.
| Mahoney at short was given the
sobriquet of "MOnte Cross" He gath
cred in everything that came his way and
batted well.
Sheehan in left only had one oppor-
tunity of displaying his ability in that
| territory but that was sufficient. He
made long running catch which would
have done credit to Burns of the SaYan-
| nah team.
Knox had an off day and missed one of
the two chances he had in the middle
garden.
Jimmy Estill in right was too anxious
to show his many admirers what he could
do, and only succeeded in covering him
self with dirt out in the corner where
Connaughton usually plays.
Moriarity and Beckett was the battery
for the Press. Moriarity was knocked
out of the box in the fourth inning and
Herty was substituted. He pitched fairly
well, but Beckett could not catch loose
horse.
G. Blake on first played a pretty fair
game, as did j. Sullivan on second. j.
Blake, after the second inning came to
the conclusion that he was a better left
fielder than third baseman and exchanged
places with Hawthorne, who played good
game on third and hit like Burns has been
hitting for the past three weeks.
The outtielders had no fly balls in their
territory, but were kept busy chasing
base hits.
The MORNING News team has some good
material in it, and with practice will be
| one of the best amateur teams in the
| city.
The MORNING NEWS is unable to give
the full score.
The Looking Glass is going to challenge
the MORNING News for the newspaper
championship, and the game will preb-
ably be played next Saturday.
! At late hour last night it was learned
that Manager Davis had signed a new
first baseman. He will make his APP
pearance in the next game.
Manager Robinson takes the defeat
very hard, and says that the umpire's
pecisions were against his team and were
| very rank.
Another game win be played at an
! early date, and both teams will be greatly
| strengthened.
| Manager Davis will give the MORNING
! News team a collation. one night this
week. There is no doubt that they will
| do better work there than on the ball
| field.
