The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-08-22

made errors and Syracuse would have
peen retired. But Boyle wouldn't make
ordinary errors. He wanted to make
some that would make him distin-
guished. and he did.
1t was the first extra inning game of
the season on the oval The crowd
didn't appreciate the tie score and ex-
ira inning game, as is usually done, on
account of the poor work which allowed
Syracuse to get into the game. The
crowd was small, the smallest for
weeks, due probably to the fact that
1ans are saving their energy for the
games today and tomorrow,
Inc syracuse players put UP a snap
Ply game and fielded beautifully The
Worcesters did the same at times Rut
the wretched work of Boyle spoiled all
appreciation of the good playing. How
ever, some Of it was so exceptionally
eood that the spectators could not but
enjoy II. How fast the playing was is
shown by the number of double nIavs
no less than five being made during the
game, three of which were made by the
Woreesters. The features of the game
were a one-handed running catch by
Sharrott, which enabled him to com
plele a double play, and the batting of
Bransfield. The playing of Lynch and
Wrlgley was also excellent.
worcester started scoring in the last
OF the second. Bransfiefd drove a
double to right center, scoring on two
long flies. In the third they added an
other run on RICKETTS, single, his TAX
ing second on an out and Frisbee's sin
gle. Three came in the sixth. Rickert
opened with single and stole second
gong to third on Steelman's bad throw
cars single scored him. Bransfield
sent the latter in ahead of him by plac-
ing the ball over the right field fence.
Worcester didn't score after that.
syracuse took the lead in the third
through Boyle O'Neil got his base on
pals. After two men had died Wrigley
NIT a single to left. Shannon hit an
easy one to Boyle. He got it and threw
TO Klopf, who started to cover second
Boyle threw way out in left field in
stead of into Klopf's hands and instead
OF three men being retired one run
scored and the runners moved up as
lar as they could go. A double by Cal
noun scored the two of them. In the
fourth Boyle gave the Stars more runs
Dundon opened with a hot single to left
Steelman hit to Boyle. The latter FUN
oled and Steelman got first. Dundon
overran second, and when Boyle finally
picked up the ball was half way down
the line to third. He saw his mistake
and halted. Boyle ran toward him and
mad throw Of only 20 feet to make to
huhnS, but he threw to the cinder
track. Dundon scored and Steelman
made third, ONeil put up an easy fly,
which Rickert dropped and Steelman
scored. For five innings Syracuse
couldn't get man around, not a man
reaching second in four of the five in
n1ngs. Bransheld's home run tied the
score in the sixth, and it looked good
Tor Worcester as the Farmers were
hitting Pfenrniller pretty hard at times.
But the regulation number of innings
found the teams still tied, and an extra
inning did the trick for Syracuse, Rick
ert and Boyle making things easy for
them. Lynch opened with a single and
stole second as Horton struck out Wrig-
ley. Shannon hit a grounder past third.
hlckert came in on the ball, but failed
TO pick 1t up, and Lynch, who had halt
ed at third, trotted home, Shannon TAX
ing second. Calhoun got a base on
balls. Hargrove hit a fly to Sharrott,
on which Shannon took third. Bowie
saw chance to give Syracuse another
run and did so. When Calhoun started
for second with Shannon on third
Bransfeld threw to Boyle, who came to
short infield to head off Shannon if the
latter attempted to reach the plate.
Shannon didn't make the attempt on
the throw, but Boyle muffed it and
Shannon had no trouble in scoring.
Worcester opened with a single, but
double play occurred. Another sin
gle followed, but the last ball was a fly
which Shannon got. Thus did Bowie
and Rickert lose the first extra inning
game that Worcester has played on the
home grounds this season.
