Manager Watkins arrived in town fully
confident that he was going TO have an
easy time taking four games away from
the Senators. Before the game was
over. however, Mr.. Watkins had some
doubts on this point, and suspicion
entered the Pittsburg managers mind
that he had struck a snag.
The snappy, gingery game put up by
the locals was a revelation. The boys
played ball to win, and delighted the
spectators beyond measure, and although
defeat did come, still there was little
fault TO be found.
The victory Of the Pirates was due
principally to the effectiveness Of Tame
hill although Wrigley's error in the
eighth cut somewhat of a figure in the
result.
Mercer started in to pitch, but was
forced 10 retire, owing to an injury OF
the left hand in the second inning when
he attempted 10 stop Brodie's hard-hit
bounder. Swain then went in and pitched
superb ball, holding down the visitors 10
six hits
The features of the game were manv
and elected rounds of applause. In the
first inning Doyle and Rietz figured in
a clever double play. o'Brien led off with
a single to left, and Donovan, the next
man UP, pushed the ball to Rietz, who
picked il up in fast style, touched O'Brien
as he was running towards second and
shot the ball 10 first, catching the Pi-
rates right fielder in easy time.
In the fifth inning Wagner made a
sensational stop of Ely's hot bounder
down the base line and cut off the run
ner at first. Wrigley made a phenomenal
running stop Of Schriver's hit near sec
ond and caught the runner at first
Rietz, as usual played a brilliant game
at second, and Selbach accepted five
chances without an error.
For the visitors, the batting of Tame
hill and the fielding of O'Brien and Nc
Carthy were the features. Schriver
caught a beautiful game, and Davis was
excellent at the initial sack
