The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-04


Springfield easily defeated the Wor-
cesters at the oval yesterday in the Sc
cond game of the series.
Miserable playing on the part of the
Worcesters in the early part of the
conflict and good hitting when hits
were required gave the Ponies a lead
that could not be overcome.
The work of the Worcesters f-r the
first few innings was wretched. Later
they settled down to good playing, but
it was too late. The Worcesters could
not bat Pittenger at all.
Lampe was a marke for the Ponies.
They hit him hard at times The Wor-
cesters not only made. errors, but they
put up several dumb plays, which
helped Springfield as much as anything
else. Big Dan Brouthers was - under
the weather and could not play
The crowd was about 1900 1t was
thoroughly disguised with the playing
of the Worcest ers and frequently called
for a change Of pitchers.
1t looked bad for Worcester in the
first inning but McQuaid saved the
day Shannon, the first man up, hit
safely to left field. Campbell got a
base on balls. Phelps tried to ad-
vance them with a bunt but sent a
fly to Yeager. Hemming hit hard
bounder to McQuaid, who tossed to
kuhns at second, forcing Campbell
and the return 10 first cut off Hemming.
1t was a good play and well appreciat-
ed.
Kuhns tore three holes in the air.

hand when he came up. He turned his
bat, hunted a few feet and beat it

In the second Dolan reached first on
tumble by McQuaid. Brown struck
out. Dolan then stole second. He
went to third on a grounder which
Myers drove past Kuhns, and scored on
Gleason's grOundeT to kuhns, by which
Myers was forced at second. The at
tempt to double the men failed. Pit
tenger was given his base on balls amid
cries of ''Kloby" from the crowd. Man
ager Leonard gave Lampe a quiet tip
TO put it over, but before he got a
chance Bransfield threw way out 20
right field, trying to send the ball TO
Carr. Gleason had an easy time com
ing from second, Welsh acting as if
he had a ball and chain attachment.

right field fence, sending two runs in
ahead of the one he brought. Yeager
brought relief by throwing out Phelps.
