Diamond Cast.
The Stars made good bid for the game
yesterday, but poor decisions by Hunt
robbed them of the game.
AS Il was, the great base-running OF
Harry Davis saved the game for Provi-
dence. Twice he brought In the tieing
run. and then Judson came to the rescue
In the ninth chapter.
AItrock threatened dire things to Hunt
yesterday, IL he would only come outside.
Hunt was busy umpiring the game. how
ever. and would not acquiesce TO Nick's
demands.
Umpire Hunt undoubtedly erred. but
Altrock was not justified in making the
remarks which he hurled at the Olney-
vile man.
In the first FIVE innings. Judson Smith
was the only man OF theGrays TO hit the
bali to an uncovered spot. Incidentally
Judson got three hits in four times up.
Ross, the Stars new backstop. showed
up well in his first game at Adelaide Park.
He Is a youngster. and possibly is a wee
bit nervous, but he has good throwing
arm, and acts and looks like Conner
Esson. the new twirler was also on
deck. He is a youngster. now receiving
his first try-out In fast league company.
Dunkle pitched great ball in the last
three innings. He was out to win. and no
doubt about II.
Danny Friend was slated to pitch. but
his arm is far from gooE, and he was
allowed to rest.
Members OF the Providence team say
they were robbed OF the second game at
Rochester, by Umpire Rim. In the first
game the crowd did more or less shouting
at the close decisions. and this made ev-
erything go the Rowdies' way In the sec
ond contest.
On Wednesday the day was dark and
cold. With a speedy pitcher the Grays
would have won. but Murray put in "Sil-
yer" Braun, and the Rowdies simply
broke" his curves into pieces.
Frank Corridor only pitched one in
ming. but In that time he had Rochester
completely at his mercy. He struck out
one man, and the others were nearly as
easy. II he had pitched the whole game
the Grays would have stood a very fair
chance or winning.
IL the Grays win the championship OF
the Eastern league they will get quite a
lot OF noodle for so doing. The Outlet
gives them $50 gold piece. and Mr.. Bani-
gan is said to have $50 cash for them IL
they land the nag.
For the benefit Of the scribes who have
chalked Dorovan's record OF IL strike
outs az the best ever made. may we state
that Danny Friend established the record
at Rocky Point early this season? big
BIZ Donovan simply eaualed the record,
that's all.
"Rankest ever seen" states the report
from Rocbester. Evidently the scribes
In the Rowdies' stamping ground are
sore over their defeat and probable loss
Of the pennant.
Brooklyn won two: Pittsburg lost one.
AS result the gap between Brooklyn
and the Pirates Is widened
The great and only" Pittenger went 70
the tall bushes az Boston YESTERDAY. ST
Louis did the trick.
attendance In Worcester at the last
game OF the season was given as 100 Even
syracuse could have done better.
Clements has peculiar delivery. He
DOESN'T appear to be able to straighten
out his whip. yet he has speed and an as
sortment OF curves that daze batsmen.-
