JACK KNORR'S ZIG ZAGS.
HE UINs ANOTHER CAME ron THE
FRISKY HrSTLERS.
Mailman Was Hit Hard In the seventh
Inning The Score of9 to \ Tor
the Hustler-.

A long. tedious, dull game. full OF puer-
die wranglng and disagreeabie kicking on
the part Of the visitors. was what the
500 spcctators saw al West-End Park
yesterday afternoon. AT one time there
was a strong contest for the victory and
excitement ran high. The Hustlers then
got on to Hallman and batted out SIX
runs. Then everything settled down
to monotonous drag Only seven IN
nings We're played, though JAKE Nei4S
tapped the gong four times AT l.Sl cloch.
At 6:i5 o'clock. Umpire philips calleu
the game on account Of darkness. Inc
sun had set quite while before that
Everybody was tired Of seeing thilis,
Cavllc. and the rest Of them kick, and
nobody regretted that ,he other two
innings would not bc played out.
The Hustlers scored IN the FIRST inning.
Smith raped the ball 10 left field Tor
pretty little single. stole second, went
To- third when Thcrstcn fumhled House
mans groundcr, and crossed the plate
on wells sharp grounder TO J ght field.
Then the visitors sent two men over
the rubber. CaWlle, Childs. ard Reed
each found l<norr Tor a lucky single.
Smiths error and Childs' s,olen base
die the rest.
TOsTFi's GREAT Effort.
Then it was that Foster made the effort
of his life lie was the first man up IN
the second. Hallman twirled the leather
over the plate. 1t was the first ball
pitched g. the Duke OF Fulton. lie
pasted" il, 10 use a little rooter YER
uacular. II was a solid crack that
scared aloft. between the lcft-fcld and
would go over. Every man. woman. and
child in the BAH park held their breath.
Higher and farther ihe ball went until
il looked as small as a toy-hali All al
once. there was a sudden oi 1urst or
applause from all sides. The ADJ went
over the fence. II was, perhaps, me
longest hit made on the flchmOhd
grounds this year. and "Reddy' came
in for q liberal snar, of applause.
In their half of the second the visitors
were BANKED. In the third, each side
sent a man over the plate. Berte secur-
ing q pretty double for the home team
and Mangan q three-bagger for the Vlsl-
tors.
Nothing further Of a sensational ma
ture occurred until the NTH inning. When
Reeds men scored twice on "A single by
Childs and a three-bugeer by Mangan, as
sisted by Hargrove's fy-ball.
Thurston found Lucky jack for
handsome double in the sixth. When
Fuller was tossed out at first. ne went to
third. and scored or an ugly error by
Houseman. who muffcd a pcp-up fly from
Hallmans bat
uALIMAN SLAUGHTERED.
II was the seventh inning that made
Hallman sick. Then il was that the
Hustlers made a bass-drum Of his de-
livery. six runs went down on tho score
book TO the credit of the home team. and
the rooters went stone crazy with JOY.
Knorr. Smith and Tannehill each maulei
the leather for a thrce-bagecr while
Houseman ard Bradley came M for a
single each Mailman appeared TO
lose control Of the ball. He sent four
men TO first on balls Ctilis let in run
on a passed ball. four members Of the
home team got a stolen base, and Mangan
made an ugly throw. The visitors were
simply bewildered. Hallman's work was
ragged and he got little support.
In the second half Of tho seventh the
visitors scored twice on singles by Han
and Harerove. assisted 10y a couple OF
stolen bases. and then Umpire Phillips
called the game on account Of darkness
The score.
