As an old follower of the game said yes
terday afternoon, "The Cubans put forth
their best endeavor," and the result was
that the game remained In Pawtucket by
the narrow margin of one run, and 1t was
no "lead-pipe cinch" for the Maroons at
that. 1t was not necessary for the ground
keeper to put out the standing room sign,
for only about 15O people were present.
Among them, however, were the members
of the "Grimes' Cellar Door" Company,
who occupied seats in the grsndstand, and
added touch of color to the general sur
roundings.
Williams, the heavyweight of the team,
occupied the important post of catcher on
the grandstand, and allowed nothing In
the line of a male spectator to get by him
without the necessary deposit. The elm
surgents" did not have as much to say
yesterday as they did tho day before, but
managed to get into one or two discus
sions with Hunt.
Wsisbecker was the first man at the bat,
and touched up Seldom for a base hit,
stole second, and took third on Barton's
error, leaving Beaumont standing room on
hrst. Weisbecker came home on Smiths
sacrifice to Wilson. Beaumont scored on
Stouch's drive to left. Stouoh was left on
third when Whiting and Gilbert were
Sfeldcd out.
The FIRST half of the inning closed with
tho score to In favor Of Pawtucket, but
1t was not long before 1t was tied, for one
OF the four Jacksons was sent to first on
balls, stole second and went to third on
wild pitch. Wilson went to first after
having waited for something to strike at,
and went to second on the wild pitch.
'sCapting Jacksing" cut himself loose just
then, and after he stopped running he was
at second and Wilson had scored.
After Barton took his base on Smiths
error, Donovan let the dusky war
riors of the land of Henry Clay Mud's
know he was still In Pawtucket by strik-
ing out both b. Jackson and Seldom. The
score was tie, and 1t was not until the
nth inning that Pawtucket scored the
odd run that won the game.
1t was done In this style: Weisbecker
put dy out near Mistah 0. Jackson with
fatal results. Beaumont was doubled up
ON Hrst, and the weather indications did
not point to the making of any runs by
-Pswtucket. But you can't always some
ytimes tell, for Smith took his base on balls,
stole second, and scored on stouch's two
bagger. Whiting was fielded out on
.grcunder to short.
That was all 1.-THE scoring done by Paw
tucket, although matters looked promising
In the eighth inning when Stouch and
Whiting each made singles, but the next
three men went out in one, two. three
order.
In the nrst nve innings Of the rsme Dom
ovan struck out i've men, and held the
Cubans down to three hits. Mullen
rsplacsd him at the beginning Of the sixth
inning and did good work. He was STEADY
when matters looked critical in the ,ss,
inning. The game was apparently safe
until the Last half Of the ninth. when
6tovey made base hit and w. Jackson
followed suit, sending him to third. Then
Jsckson stole second, and matters began
20 look squally, for . single would have
won the game for the x Ray Giants; bu,
it never came. o. Jackson was thrown
out by Sweeney at first, Wilson strucl
out, and Captain Jackson few out to Oil.
