PIrrsBuoB, 10: NEW YORK. 3.
PrrrsBuRoH, Sept. 20.-Johnny Ward was
saddened this afternoon at Exposition Park
through his teams defeat by the Pirates. There
Ia at least one thing else remarkable about the
local team aside from Its winning this victory
to-day, and that Is that It has become almost
proverbial here that when Pittsburghs chances
for anything great are poor they can turn in
and knock out all the bright prospects OF
people who are striving for that for which they
have a show. And II may be that before the
New yorks leave Pittsburgh they will have
the gravest fear about holding second place.
For the first time since the gold fell on the
wheat stalks Pittsburgh was lucky. At least
two-thirds of their hits sent into the in
field, and In spots where they were hard to
handle.
Pittsburgh Is strutting tonight over the proud
distinction of bringing Annie Rusie down to the
size Of ordinary mortals. 1t has been the custom
Of the New York scribes To use the name Of
annie" when the Pittsburghs were around. as
q sort OF feemaker for a Coronor's office. The
tall sycamore of Sunshine Greek has outlved
his usefulness for such duty. and has az little
dread about his person for the Pittsburgh team
now as the Drum Major of his far away village
home. There was really more danger 10 be APP
pretended from the Pittsburgh has-beens, Van
Haltren and Farrell. than In John Wards pitch
Ing department. Annie quit thumblng his harp
in the sixth inning. and for some indehnable
cause Farrell was spirited away AZ the same time.
The New Yorks arrived from Chicago about
midday. They would have been better pleased
II II had been necessary to postpone the game,
as they had a long railroad ride. The ground,
too, was In very bad condition and really not ft
~ play on. Manager Ward was feeling very
much flushed with four straight victories from
Chicago. Before to-day's game, in speaking of

When asked about Secretary yonderhorst's
idea OF playing one game In Pittsburgh, Ward

There were l.2OO people at the game, ana IL
seemed a foregone conclpsion that the New
was different, for the visitors were never In the
hunt from the start on. and before the contest
was ended Rusie was retired 70 his bench and
Clark took his place as pitcher. The game
WINS not good one by any means as iar as the
work of the visitors was concerned They
played bad ball beyond all question Doyles
work at hrst was very rocky; and several S other

seven errors, and All paipaole ones, were re-

were away below par. =,
The home team really played good ball All

ably, and captured everything that went his
way In nne style, and the boys swatted the DALI
Rusie retired at the end OF the sixth tnningAiter
eleven safe hits had been charged up against
him and six runs. Clark was easier TO deal with
than Rusie. When the pitehers were changed

change OF speed seemed to fool the visitors con-
siderably. The hrst time at bat Ward Was pre-

The picture was handsome one, out John could
not respond with hit. The umpiring was not
