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

to come right, the excellence of his
work became apparent. After the third
inning, the only good hit was a hot
grounder by Davis. In the last inning
Dunkle put up fly near the foul line
in right field which Carr should nave
taken down. He didn't and Boyle, who
made a try for it, failed to get properly
under the ball.
The fielding of the Worcesters was
fierce. Boyle, the new second baseman,
was put in for the first time. He didn' t
make a brilliant showing, although he
handled himself like a good one. The
only bad error he made was in letting
a slow ball go through him. His first
error was bad throw made in trying
to complete a double play. One of the
runners of the Providence team threw
up Boyle's arm as he made the throw,
so he could hardly be blamed for the
error. He failed to stop hot throw by
Yeager with a man going to second and
another going home from third. The
throw was low and off to one side, and
the ball was hard to handle.
Carr was responsible for three of the
four runs that Providence got in the
third. He muffed a pretty throw
which Gardner sailed into his hands.
Had he held it the side would have
been retired with only one run scored.
4HSEe was absolutely no eACuSe IOI
muffing such throw. Gardner couldn't
have got it over better If he sent a
messenger boy with it.
The work of the outfeld was good
Sharrott's exceptionally so. He COW
cred lots of ground and got some pref
ty ones. Rickert also made a great
running catch.
Umpire Gruber got the crowd after
him at the start. He didn't see Hernon
hit Boyle on the arm and compel a
wild throw which allowed Walters to
reach third base. The crowd began to
howl at Gruber, and several decisions
a manner that wasn't pleasant to him.
He was responsible for the first two
runs the visitors got.
Providence was sent to bat first and
saAred two runs. Hernon opened with
, angle, but was forced on Walter S
grounder to Gardner. Hernon's inter-
ference made Boyle throw wild and
Walters reached third. He scored on
Davis fly to Frisbee. Cassidy, who
had walked on called balls, ran to
second on Frisbee's throw home. Yea
ger, in returning the ball to second,
threw wild, and Cassidy went to third.
Nyce scored him with single.
Four runs came in the third. With
one out Walters hunted and beat the
ball. Cassidy followed with a single.
Both moved up on a long fly, which
Davis sent to Rickert. A wild pitch
gave run and sent Cassidy to third.
Nyce, the next man up, hit grounder
to Gardner. He threw nicely to first,
but Carr dropped it and Cassidy
scored. Leahy put in a Texas Lacquer
TO short centre, Nyce making third
from first. When Leahy went down,
RnVla no11ffnd tho fhrnxn md NSrn
scored. Cooney reached first on a
tumble by Kuhns, Leahy taking third.
Cooney stole second. Lampe caught
him off and threw the ball down to sec
ond, at which Leahy made a dash for
the plate. He got it, as the return was
late.
The visitors did not score again until
the ninth. With two out, Boyle let an
easy one from Lamar through him.
Dunkle hit a fly close to right field foul
line, which nobody flelded, and Lamar
went to third. When Dunkle was sent
down Yeager threw to Gardner and
Lamar scored. Gardner chased Dunkle
back and touched him. He paid no at
tention to the man going in from third
Worcester scored in the first inning
Sharrott hit a pretty double to right
and Frisbee scored him by warm
grounder to centre. Gardner scored in
the third by three Dagger to right
centre and a bad throw of Cassidy s
The Worcesters added three runs in the
fourth. Lamar made a two-base mufi
of Frisbees fly. He scored on Carr's
single. Yeager hit to Cassidy, who
threw to Cooney in good season to re-
tire Carr, but Cooney muffed, and
both men were safe. Yeager was
forced at second, when Carr went to
third and Boyle reached first. The lat
ter started down. Leahy threw down
and Boyle stopped. Carr dashed fol
the plate. Cassidy made a poor return
and Carr was safe, Boyle keeping or
to third. Gardeners out scored him.
The Worcesters did not score agar
until the ninth, when they made
enough to win. Gardeners base or
balls, Lampe's single and Kuhns
homer did the trick
A peculiar play happened in the fifth
Davis got in a single. Nyce hit tc
Kuhns, and on the throw across the
diamond Davis, by good running, made
third. While Kuhns held the ball he
dashed in. Kuhns ran after him, but
couldn't tag him. He threw the ball tc
Yeager, however, and Davis was nailed
at the rubber.
From the third to the ninth inning
Worcester played without an error, and
only one hit was made off Lampe. Ii
those five innings only Is men came tc
