CLEVELAND, Sept. 1o.--Sullivan held together
well for six innings Of to-day's game. and IL
looked as though the New Works might bite the
dust in their first round with the Western
teams. In the seventh his good success seemed
tpbe too much for him. He S7camc erratic, and
his bases on balls. combined with opportune
hits. did the mischief. The batting was heavy
after that inning, the New Works taking his
measure with q vengeance and cracking the ball
10 al parts OF the field with little trouble. The
mos, important factor in Clevcland's defeat was
the bases on balls. As long as sullivan could
make Che New Yorks hit the ball in the early
part OF the game they were not able TO hit Il
safely. That. however. did not last after he had
put men on bases by pitching wildly. 1t seemed
To- take the heart out OF the pitcher. and it wor-
ried him greatly to- get the bail over the plate.

Cleveland pitcher to deceive him in the least:

meet with the big fellows delivery. The most
opportune hit of the game was made by Ward,
who lined ont n hard single 10 right when the
bases were iii!cd in the seventh. and Rusic real
" ciinched the game by his own, prowess with
the ba'. The only error made by The New Works
was a passed Vroundcr 10y Ward in the second
inning, after which the Clevelands scored three
runs. Davis Yielded best for the New Yorks.
