What the Plttsburg say OF
the Ex-Wheelins Twirler.
LIE Poole has already made his
reputation in Piltsburg. He has estab-
lisned himself as a favorite with the
fans" and the press is unanimous in
praise OF his work on Friday. Here
are some OF the press comments:
From the Commercial Gazette:
What little interest there was in the
gam was cenfered in the showing of
the new Interstate league battery, Poole
and Donohue. This pair was given a
chance after Philippe had been made
a mark of in the second inning. Poole
has an easy style OF delivery, and what
is better still, Is steady at all times.
and is not afraid to put the ball over
the plate and take chances. This steady
work is shown by the fact that he did
not give a base on balls.
Poole lot only made good in a pitch
ing way, but he more than made good
as a batter. On his first turn up he
smashed the ball into the left field
bleacherS for a home run, sending Ely
in ahead of him. This hit was out al
the end of the bleachers toward middle
field, the ball going in on a bound. On
his next turn up, with Ely on third, he
drove the ball into deep right for three
bases, and on his third and last turn at
bat, he drove n so hot that the sec
ond baseman could not handle it, and
Williams scored. That was a pretty
good days work for a beginner. Dono-
hue caught a nice game and showed
that he has a good throwing arm from,
the manner in which ne shot the ball
Lhnuun 70 cnAnnA nd noGilYr nnhhA
Green, who was trying to do a base
stealing act. The youngsters perform
ed their work SO we'll that the club Of
ficials will have trouble when they come
TO selecting their batteries for next
season.
From The Times:
manager Clarke yanked the deacon
out OF the box and substituted Poole,
from the interstate league, in the third
inning. 'Jiggs" Donohue, also from
the Interstate, was substituted at back
stop, This turned out to be a diplo-
matte move and was nc doubt respv-.-
sible for P~ittsburg's victory. Poole
not only pitched magnificent ball for
seven innings, but his batting was
hard and timely. On his first appear
ance at bat he laced the leather TO left
center for a home run. 1t was one of
the longest drives of the season. Ii
was Poole's first hit in the big league,
AM. it made him popular with the spec
tators. Donohue showed up we'll al
baekstop. In the fifth inning Danny
Green, n of the sprinters on the Chi
cago team, attempted to purloin Sec
ond and he was cleverly thrown out
from Dononue to Ely.
From The Post:
Eddie Poole, ~Plttsburg's acquisition
from the Interstate league, pitched his
first National league game yesterday
and pulled out a victory for the Pr
ates. He has all sorts of twists and
shoots up his sleeve, let them ali fly
at the Windy City aggregation. and
had it on the run. Tim DOnonue, the
chicago catcher, assisted by other
members of the team tried his utmost
to rattle the recruit, but Poole never
wavered. He was steady from start TO
finish and faced the Chicagos with a
GOODNESS born of confidence. He was
we'll supported behind the bat by Jigss
Donohue and by the in and outfield.
Donohue is a fine thrower TO bases and
caught Green in the fifth inning trying
to steal second. Poole not only pitch
ed effectively, but batted successfully.
