HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

The veteran Van Ialtren was the special hero a;
IN. Polo Grounds Yesterday. and the several thou
sand spectators who were present forgot for the
minnie the parade Of the naval heroes. the heroi,
i.eds OF Sampson. Schley and Dewey. and sang the
-oises of the seasoned oufelders of the New York
baseball team
II was pretty struggle. this game of baseball
between the New-York and Cleveland teams. that
was PLAYED in the Harlem Hollow yesterday after
noon The Wanderers had taken the lead in the
second inning and up TO the eighth the visitors
had the advantage at 5 TO ]. In spite of the fact
that Rusie was pitching. the onookers seemed TO
think that IL was all except the final yell
which greets the last put out and tells those on
the outside Of the fence that the thing has been
done and somebody has and the other fellows
have lost.
In the eighth inning the home players scored n
run reducing the lead Of the visitors TO one run.
Then the onookers hoped for of those old-time
rallies Of the days when the one-time Giants were
famous for pulling a game out Of the fire at the
last minute IL came in the ninth, and the friends
Of the players went 10 their homes hungry, per
haps but happy. Ii Is a singular thing about the
genuine baseball crank that when his favOrtes are
beaten ne loses his appetite.
With two men on bases and one out Van Haltren
came 10 the slab with fire In his eye and the
trusted wagon-tOngue in his fist. Pitcher Powell of
the Wanderers put shoot over the rubber just
whero Van Haltren thought he wanted IT, There
tongue sent forward 10 meet the piece OF
horse-hile. wOOllen yarn and rubber. There was a
crack like a pisto-shot. and the ball sailed out 10
left field Ii was a two-bagger and "a good one, be
the diamond two runs had crossed the plate. ana
apparent defeat had been turned into victory. And
that crack is what made the spectators in Harlem
Hollow forget for the minute the heroes Of Santi-
ago and Manila. Score.
