BALL GROUNDS. PITTsBURG. Pa.
July 12.-Pittsburg baseball fans, and
they are the msst rabid in all the
United States, are mourning to-day.
The accident which befell Lefty
Davis is the cause Of II. The breaking
OF that great little players leg has given
the Pirate crew the first taste Of hard
luck OF this season, and a change In
the batting order had to follow this az
ternoon.
The accident. too. has caused Presi-
lent Barney Dreyfus to issue a def to
the Executive Board OF the National
League. and although the thunder of
the brewing storm Is just audible from
a distance now, something awful Ia ex-
pected soon.
1t is nll due to the suspension OF
Wild Conroy. the Pirates utility man.
who was shelved for twenty days BY
John T. Brush for giving a pasilistc
exhibition on the Smoky City diamond
with little Tinker. Of Chicago. Tinker
got on easily and Conroy received a
severe punishment, Dreyfua, feels that
his player was wronsed, and although
Two day. are yet to elapse before the
ban Is lifted from~the Pirate. Dreyeus
has wired him to come on and ret IN thA
game anyway. Tor he needs him now.
1t was thought he might arrive In
time for to-day's game. but he will be
on hand tomorrow and scamper around
the diamond on Brush's own ampi
ground In Cincinnati. Then the storm
will be on In all its fury.

the lowest. Manager Clarke cannot un-
derstand how the New Workers. are SO
Ear down after their great exhibitions
here, and he considers them the hardest
team In the League to beat. He and bis
men were none too sanguine of carry-
Ing off victory to-day. The absence of
Davis was one cause for that, and the
likelihood Of Christy Mathewson pitch
Ing for the Giants another.
The bettors at the game were not so
liberal In Offering odds on the Pirates

''Matty" was in superb shape, and It
really did look as though the Giants
would do what no others havedone this
year against the championship two

meadow.
5000 Fans See Game.

played before the Pirates aosept defeat,
