NEW YORK, August ls.-The New
Yorks and Brooklyns played two games at
Eastern Park and broke even. In the
first game the Brooklyns looked like
winners UP TO the ninth inning, as the
score was 4 to 2 in their favor. and Stein
had been pitching great ball. But In the
ninth Stein lost his head, and the New
YOrks rolled up four runs on three bases
on balls, hits by Dad Clark and Van
Haltren. and a bad error by Treadway.
Stein was also responsible for the New
Yorks' other two runs. as Van Haltren
and Davis, both Of whom got bases on
balls. crossed the plate. Clark pitched
good steady game for New York. but
Wilson's poor work behind the bat helped
the Brooklyns to three of their four runs.
In the second game German gave poor
exhibition i'm the box. He gave eight
bases on balls. and was Hit safely ten
times In six innings. Kennedy. on the
other hand. was invincible. and in all
but one inning shut the New Yorks out
without a run.
