NEW YORK TOOK THE FIRST
Giants 0utplayed the Orioles on Their Own
Grounds
The Latter Couldn't Hit Rusie, While
New York Hit Hard and
Fielded Well.

The Baltimore nine was defeated by the
New York nine yesterday, at Baltimore in
the first game for the Temple cup They
couldn't hit Rusie. The Sun says in de-
scribing the game:
The BaltimOres Outplayed.
The BaltimOres were outplayed at every
point. They could not hit the curves that
peerless Amos Rusie shot across the plate
like thunderbOlts They could not get down
to business and field with that confidence
and daring which has brought them fame
and honor. Neither could they strike that
famous "get-at-'em'' gait before which the
strongest of opponents quail. The boys
were beaten because New York played bet
ter ball. They knew it. too. and attributed
defeat to no other cause but they did pro-
test in unmeasured terms against Umpire
Emslie in cutting off their chances when,
In the very last inning, faint ray of hope
had for an instant frightened up their dark
cred spirits.
An Unexpected Decision.
This decision of Emslie's was inexplicable.
The Baltimores had scored one run and
Reitz was on first, with one man out, when
Jennings hunted down the third-base line.
Davis ran in. scooped the ball up and sent
it over to first, but it did not get there until
Jennings had crossed the bag. The crowd
cheered wildly and the scorers all marked
down hit to Jennings. Men on first and
third with one out" the rooters were say
ing to each other when yell Of rage from
the Baltimore players attracted the atten-
ton of the spectators. Emsle had called
Jennings out.
The Baltimore men rushed at him like
wild men and the New Workers also gath
cred around. Brodie and Doyle got into a
pushing match, which added to the excite
ment. Ward ordered Doyle away and was
obeyed. but Robinson could do nothing to
calm his players. For several minutes they

stopped temporarily. moment later the
third man was put out and the game was
over. The spectators crowded upon the
field, and a matter of precauton the
umpire was escorted to the club house by
policemen.
1t is not apparent how Emslie could have
given such a decision at such a time. The
play was not even close one. 1t was clear
and evident that the runner was safe. 1t
looked like the turning point in the contest,
and the Baltimores should have been given
the full benefit of the chance which seemed
about to present itself.
a Rusie Day.
And now for the game itself.
1t was regular Rusie day. The big 'un
is great pitcher at almost any time, but
when the weather is dark and cloudy his
wonderful speed alone makes him wellnigh
invncible
During The first six innings the champions
made but two hits. keeler singled to left in
the first inning and reached second on
Brouther's intieid out but was caught try
ing to score on Fuller's tumble of Nc
Graw's grounder. In the fifth Jennings
sent the sphere to center for a base, and
went to second when Esper got four balls,
but Rusie retaliated by catching Hughey
mapping. McGraw made a clean hit to left
field in the seventh, and Robinson and kel-
ley followed suit in the eighth, Robinsons
hit being a drive over second and Kelleys
scratch past the pitcher. In the ninth
McGraw singled into left and Reitz hunted
safely. This was the head and front of
Baltimores batting, and this wasn't enough
to win game, but it was a great tribute
to Rusies pitching.
The score shows that 1t was Rusie, and
not the New York club, that defeated the
Baltimores, just as Rusie or Meekin have
by themselves won many games for New
York this season and landed the club in the
position ii now occupies.
Somewhat Listless.
Under ordinary circumstances the Balti-
mores would have outfelded their oppo-
nents, but there was suggestion If list
lessness about their work. McGraw, al
though he batted and ran the bases WELL
was off in his fielding, allowing two balls
to go safely into left field that he ought
to have eaten up" Kelley was suffering
with cold, and in the sixth inning fell
over first base and strained his Leg so he
may be excused, perhaps, if his work was
not as good as usual. Brouthers. Reitz and
Jennings fieded well, and Robinson caught
several difficult foul flies.
Clean-Cut and DashinE.
The play of the New Yorks was cleaner
cut and more dashing than that of the Bal
timores probably because the New Yorks
had their hearts in the work. Burke batted
with excellent effect and Davis Doyle and
Van Haltren fielded brilliantly Van Hal
tren making two remarkable running
catches His work, McGraw's desperate
base-running and Brodie's batting were the
most conspicuous features. On account of
the crowd that surrounded the field no hit
was good for more than three bases.
The Winning Runs.
For four innings the struggle was a
pretty one and neither side scored. New
York had made three hits and baltimore
one Then the New Works took more kindly
to Espers slow "dinky' drop. and began to
draw to the front. Their first run in the
fifth inning made on Van Haltren's
triple over the ropes in right field and Full
ler's fly to Kelley. Davis three-ba gger into
the crowd in left field and Doyles infield
out added the second in the sixth. A two
Dagger to center by Rusie and Burke's
single to left developed run No. 3 i'm the
seventh. and in the eighth they rounded up
their quartet, Doyle's line triple, which
Kelley misjudged, and Wards infield out

McGraw red the only run for Balti-
more in the ninth inning. He led off with
hit. went to second when Davis threw
