The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-08-24

Ter pitched a remarkably good game.
he was hit a few times, enough to give
an occasional run, and that meant a
deserved victory, when the Worcesters
could not hit at all. The Rowdies didn'
hit much, but they hit at the proper
time. They didn't LTave many chances
to score, but they took advantage of
the chances they hat and, although
they made few runs, only a. few runs
yesterday were bigger than. an ayeng-
ing angel.
The game was not won on the pitch
ing, however. Both men pitched win
ming game. Neither was the fielding
responsible for the victory. Both
teams fielded remarkably well. The
Worcesters certainly played the clean
est game of ball they have .Vut up this
season. Not only did they SO through
the entire game without an error, but
they didn't have anything that looked
like one, and there was not a m .NStake OF
any sort in the field.
When it was all over nobody could
look back and point to play Whlch
could have been made in a better way.
And the RCchesters were running Neck
and neck in that respect. The visi$lrs
got two errors, Count Campau mako g
both. But with those for a handicap,
the playing of the visitors was fully as
good, if not better, than that of the
Farmers. The Rochesters had two mis-
plays, but they put up a fast article of
hall. as fast as any that has been seen
on the oval this year. They played so
fast that at times even the partisan
supporters of the Worcester team were
forced to acknowledge the Rowdies a
superior team to the Worcesters.
Second Baseman Smith did the trick
IN the sixth. With two men on bases
he hit out q single which scored both.
the first runs of the game. The Row.
dies deserved great credit for making
chose runs Bowen realized he could
rot nit the ball hard and get it safe so
he hunted. He reached first. Campau
tried to sacrifice to send Bowen along,
but fouled two strikes and then hit at
the ball hard. He spoiled several good
ones, and Miller failed to keep putting
them over, Campau walking.
With men on first and second the play
vas a sacrifice, and Barclay did the
trick, sending grounder to Kuhns
The latter had time to get the man at
second, but didn't dare risk it, and
when he threw Barclay out men were
On second and third with one out.
Smith cracked out a single 10 center, on
which both scored. Willie O'Hagan,
the rowdy, who is yet hitter of the
first water, sent in another run, which
was the one that made Rochester VIC
torious.
In the ninth, with two out, Smink du-
plicsted Bowen's feat, getting a hunt,
which he beat out easily. O'Hagan hit
liner that went so fast the fans could
hardly see it. It went to the right of
Rickert, ana Snlink scored from first,
CHagan reaching second easily.
Worcester's story Is easily told. They
could do absolutely nothing to Bowen.

cruciating as they went up only to
come back without accomplishing any
thing. He pitched steadily, not giving
a base on balls or hitting a man. Only
two hits were made, and second base
was farther away than the promised
land was from Moses.
They made a rally in the ninth which
all but accomplished its object. Miller
was due to open the inning for the
Worcesters. Manager Leonard exer-
cised the good judgment of sending
Klobedanz to the bat
Kloby showed what he could do by
placing a hot line drive against the
right field fence within two feet of the
top. Householder clapped his hands
over his head, thinking the ball would
bound back and strike him. 1t did
bound back, but bounded away, and
Householder didn't realize where it had

danz stood on second. Sharrott hadn't
been hitting, so Manager Leonard made
his second winning move by sending III
Yeager, who was in uniform for the
first time since he injured his knee
in the Montreal game a week ago.
Yeager banged a liner to left for g
single on which Klobedanz scored
Kuhns followed with line drive II
centre, which got past Campau and
Lampe, who took Yeager's place al
first, went to third. Rickert fell short
and there the best chance was lost. The
crowd was roofing hard, and Rickert
evidently thought Bowen would fail Il
locate the plate. O'Loughlin was in q
measure responsible. With two and two
on Rickert, Bowen put the next over
but O'Loughlin called a ball HI
squared himself on the next ball. II
was not over, but OLoughlin called
strike, and Rickert was the first out
Frisbee hit to Smith, who played the
ball to first, and Lampe went across
the plate. Kuhns dashed for third The
bag was devoid of coachers, which was
fatal mistake, and Kuhns made an
other by heading for the bench. Ola
gan threw the ball back and Kuhns
was run down.
