The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-21

After several weeks absence. the
Worcesters returned yesterday and in
the afternoon played with Hartford at
the oval before some 900 people.
The Farmers were out for business,
but made slow start, Hartford maxi
ing the first break. That stirred I'D
the Farmers, and they got after their
opponents like gang of bunco men af-
ter a hayseed on his first visit to their
operating grounds
They jumped on Hodson like a man
with jag alighting from a railroad
train. and when they finished with him
ne couldn't be distinguished from a
man Who handles a can of dynamite
with too little care
1t was Klobedanz's day. He was
prlmed up for the occasion and he
fooled the Hartford batters as handily
as police officer does his sergeant af-
ter dark. He went in the box with the
realization that the trouble with or
gained labor was settled, and the per-
son with whom he had dispute Jeffer-
son D. Pierce, sat in the grandstand and
smlled penlncenuy on the star
pitcher.
Kloby must have felt good, for he not
only pitched d magnificent game, but
he batted stronger than limburger
cheese He really won the game by
his stick work. With one out and
three men on bases in the second in
ming, when Worcester was taking it's
last half and the score was one to moth
ing in Hartford's favor, Kloby hit
harder than little David did when he

the bases We're as clean as the bones of

made three bags on the hit, but it
wasn't the fault of the hit. He couldn't
win first place in a slow race and three
bases were an awful lot for Kloby
Hartford brought several new men.
The first in the order Of batting is Will
son, who played right field. He wasn't
particularly noticeable. The same was
true az Massey, who played first base
Another new one is Lippert, who me-
anders around the territory back of
third. He has voice like a ton of
coal sliding down stairs, and he has a
reputation for hitting. That's all he
had yestercay--the reputation. He
struck out three times and banged at
such wide ones that Connie Murphy
threw a fit in the grandstand. Ca

that rowdy aggregation was last here

do anything TO distinguish himself. Hold

Der, Is new one to Worcester specta-
tors, He had more steam than a To-
conceive working for a record, at the
start, but the fires ran down later and
ne was Just an ordinary man for the
Worcesters.
One OF the old blackbirds PLAYED the
star game for his team He was the
shortstop who distinguished himself in
all kinds of, play. He opened
with catch of a line ball that took
the spectators off their seats. He
Jumped and stopped it with one hand
and caught 1t as it bounded into the
air. He made a throw which takes
the record at the oval He must have

around the bases on the throw. He
made two great stops later in the
game.
The Worcesters made more misplavs
than the visitors, but they PLAYED a
better game of ball. Klobedanz dis
counted his opponent in pitching Not
until the last inning could Hartford do
anything with him. He let down then
and they got almost half the hits of the
game. The players behind him put
up magnificent BALL There We're sew
