II was so cold out at the West-End
Park yesterday afternoon that hand
some Charlie Farrelrs mustache was fro
zen stiff. The few old hooters who brav-
ed the cutting wind were In a CONCEALED
state before the game closed, and even
the benumbed felders called TO find any
warmth in the liners that were knock
ed them.
Brother Burke, the deacon who halls
from Burkeyille, the man who cuts up
funny antics and says his prayers on the
sly, wore his oyercoat out in left field.
He said he was chilly, perhaps he was,
but ne kept warm enolgh TO take his
six chances without an error.
Well New York won, and the Spiders
went under by the score of IL TO 4.
The College boys borrowed battery
from the Giants, and Captain Davis
threw in his sweet little pigmy Murphy,
Just 20 make things wen. Meekin pitch
ed the first three innings for the Spiders,
then big Rusie had his say so for an equal
number Of innings, while Knauss twirled
the sphere the last three. Wilson caIg It
all { f the men. For the Giants. German
and Clarke alternated in the box. with
BUsT. s HOME BUN.
That man Rusie. why he did not do
thing u tfat nice little curve that Cor
man Threw over the plate for him when
he came TO the bat In the sixth inning.
The ball vert over the left-ield fence
at the rate of sixty niles a minute, and
a telegram received in this ci.y last night
stated that IL had dropped N the Midway
PlaisanCe. The left-feld fence has not
only been made five feet higher. but it
has been moved back forty-eight feet.
1t did not have any effect on the ball,
for Rusie put 1is two hundred odd pounds
OF 'avoirdupois behind the sphere and
she wSpt.
The Spiders would not have scored had
they not been strengthened by the New,
York players, but be 1t said to the credit
Of the Spiders that they played a good
game, and showed up we'll. Phillips had
two errors which were more or less ex-
cusable, while Ellyson made his by drop
ping a fly ball after long run. Captain
Davis enticed White into making his by
causing him to throw wild to third.
HOW THEY SCORED.
The Spiders drew blanks up to the
fifth, then Rusie sneaked the aforesaid
ball over the fence and went around
the bases.
A double by White, a base on balls by
Binford, assisted by Edwards timely sac
riflce, and Murphy's single yielded two
more for the Spiders i'm the sixth.
White scored the last run for the local
team in the eighth. He was hit, stole
second. went to third on another timely
sacrifice by Edwards and came home on
Murphys single. Captain Davis and his
jugglers. who say that Boston and Balti-
more won't be an It, scored In every in
ming except The fourth and ninth; in the
latter they allowed themselves to be re-
nred in order to close the game. The
Giants batted hard, In fact both teams
did, but this was due to the fact that
none of the pitchers eXerted themselves.
Binford and Ellyson felded their posi-
lions well. Considering the cold weather
everyone played fairly good ball. The
New Yorks will play in Portsmouth to-
day. The following is the score:
