CINCINNATI, s; NEW YORK. e-rrRsr GAME

CINCINNATI, 8; NEW YORK. 6-FIRsT GAME.
The fact that the New Yorks had beaten the
champions on Friday and were In position to
jump into second place by taxing two games
from the Cincnnatis providing that Boston
lost. served to attract another great crowd to
the Polo grounds yesterday. Long before 9
O'Clock the cranks began to arrive in drovos,
eager for the battle to begin. Everybody talked
baseball. The great game Of the day before was
the leading topic and those that didn't see IL mem
tally kicked themselves as they heard Of Ruse's
wonderful pitching and the discontinue OF the
Beaneaters. Tho double bill with Cincinnati
looked rather easy for New York. so the rooters
said, but, like great many favorite events, It
was filled with uncertainty in the eyes of those
who make study Of the game. But even this
latter class were slightly off In their calcula-
tions. They didn't bargain for defeat with
Meekin pitching for New York, although they
did have some apprehension about the second
game, In which German was slated to pitch.
But. as It turned out. the New Yorks were very
lucky to get away with one victory.
The crapks occupied nearly every seat In the
vast enclosure by $50 o'clock and were still
pouring down the IL" road stairs like huge
waterfall. The unwatered roadway and the
Ing cloud Of dirt and ashes, which made many a
throat parched and drove hundreds to the vari-
e. lager beer emporlums in the neghborhood.
This proved a blessing TO vendsrs OF Coney Isl.

Where was Davisp Anxiously the cranks looked
In vain for the star third baseman, but he came
not. Ten minutes later he was seen limping
down the dressing-rooin stairs, and then IL be-
came En9%n SS that ns play on account Of
cover third base instead. The little fellow did
the best he could; but before the game was over
missed.
OF course many people came to see and hear
short by Umpire Mcouaid, who apparently is
not lover Of wit and satire. When Canavan
ming, but McQuaid declared him out, Latham
rushed toward the Judge OF play and screamed:

the sd, in the last half Of the % inning the b1ds
continued to guy McQuaid. who finallyl put him
out or the game Morgan Murphy taking his
place. Arlie then made so much noise coaching
from the bench that MCQuaid ordered him off the
held and Lath took a seat among the bleachers,
where he continued his chatter until the second
game began.
The New Yorks were beaten simply for tho
reason that they couldn't hit Dwyer az the right
time and gave poor support to Meekin. The
latter was not In his best form. as may be seen
by his five bases on balls and the ten hits gath
cred from his curves. Farrell's catching and
throwing could not be called up tu the average
as he was responsible for two OF the visitors
runs, all alone.
The Cincinnatis went TO the bat first and
scored one run on Holidays single a passed
ball and bad throw by Farrell, after Fuller
bad fumbled MCPhee's grounder. The New
Works took the lead In the second inning by
force. Then the visitors forged ahead In the
fourth by rolling mp three points on a base on
balls, two doubles, an out and single. They
also increased their advantage in the ffth, when
Merritt scored another run on his base on balls
a passed ball, and two wild throws by Farrell
Again, In the seventh a single and a two hagger
coupled with Van Haltren's wild throw Melted
two more runs and made the score 7 to g.
The New Torks rallied In the eighth, an error
by Smith, two singles, and two bagger putting
them within one run of tying the score, But in
the ninth. Gomiskey's men clinched their Vie
tory, when.Honidsy hit for two bases and ran
home on an out and Merritts scratch. The
score:
