Baltimore Grounds.

Boston, Oct. 6.-The last ball game of
the season and the third in the Temple
cup series, was as dull and uninterest-
ing a contest as has been seen here for
many day. The Baltimores won with
ridiculous ease and closed their engage
ment here by practically exhausting
the pitching talent of the Boston nine.
In the three games all four of the new
champions crack twirlers have taken
their turn in receiving the severest
kind Of a pounding, and for the third
successive game, the home team were
obliged to make a change before the
game was over.
Lewis, however, was taken out, to-
day, more because of his wildness than
of the Orioles hard batting, although
when he did put them over the hits
came in as usual. Klobedanz. who took
his place, did a trifie better. but in the
eighth, was pounded hard. A slight
shower, however, came up just as the
Bostons were ending their half and the
game was called, the score reverting to
the seventh and cutting off four runs and
five hits for the visitors. On the other
hand, Hoffer did not belle his name for
his magic kept the Bostons' hits judi
ciously scattered, and. while somewhat
wild at times, was not hit to any eX-
tent except in the third.
The weather at the start was q dupli-
cate of the perfect conditions of the
two previous days, but before six in
nings had been played. the sky dark
ened and if the shower had not come
up. the game would have been called
ot ha Of airhfh Tho
siasm. which in the two previous game
was q marked feature, was utterly
lacking. the "rooters' being apparently
disheartened with the ease with which
the Baltimores disposed Of the Boston
pitchers.
Lewis started in by giving McGraw his
base. but pop flies shut the visitors out
without run. The home team looked
like winners. for Hamilton began with a
hit but was caught stealing second. 1t
was in the second that Lewis began to
throw the balls off one side, and with
three bases on balls and three hits, four
runs came in. and it was only by fine
fielding that it was stopped right there.
In the third. however. Lewis went utterly
to pieces and after four more runs were
made with two out, KlobedanZ took his
place.
The home team scored their only runs
in their half of this inning, principally by
balls. The batting looked encouraging
and there seemed a prospect for another
double-figure game. 1t all ended. how
ever, right there, as far as the Bostons
were concerned, for barring one in the
sixth and two in the seventh, nothing like
a safe drive was seen. In the meantime
the Baltimores were having trouble with
'Kloby's" shoots, and for four innings
the hits and runs stopped.
1t was growing dark when the eighth
was started, but this did not hinder the
visitors from finding the ball. and again
there was a galaxy of safe ones and to-
gether with two-bagger, Melted four
runs. Lake was the first out for the Bos-
tons and Klobedanz followed with an
other fly to right, but just as Hamilton
came to the bat shower came up and
the game was called. so that the score
reverted to the seventh and instead of be-
ing IL to was only to 3.
The two teams were banquetted, to-
night at Faneul hall, and. tomorrow,
will play In Worcester. The score:
