The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-05-14

Greensboro met with shut out yester-
day in it's second game with the Pennant
Winners.
When the volcano which burst upon the
Greenies had subsided it was to see them
annihilated by a score of against 0.
Threatening rain did not keep some 400
of the faithful from being out yesterday,
and they saw some pretty ball playing
and some terrific batting.
Greensboro might have done better if
it's captain. King" Kelly, had not
started the game off with a bad taste,
and left his club short of ginger In
spite of his suspension for two days, he
was at the grounds in full uniform. A
provision of the league rules is that no
player is allowed among the spectators
in uniform. Umpire Proud read the rule
to the people. but Kelly kept around, and
finally climbed to the scorers box, where
he staid during much of the game.
Pitcher Childs, for Raleigh, did mag
nificent work. and had "all kinds of
speed" He kept the Greenies guessing,
and only allowed four hits, giving three
bases on balls.
The Raleigh sluggers got onto"
Pitcher Conneen, and drubbed him for
nine hits. OF these a clean three bagger
by Sofle and a home un by Kahn, ran
the enthusiasm up to the boiling point
and it sized outinlong and loud ap-
Llause.
splendid feature of the game was
the double plays made. There were
five of these and Raleigh had four of
Them Pastor, Soffle and Farrell Off
ciating in three, while Hook, Soffle and
Farrell took the other. Greensboro had
one on a fly caught by Cook in left and
throwing to Jones at third.
The game was a speedy one, being
played in one hour and fourteen minutes,
putting it up in the quick ball game
class, 1t was made speedy, because
Raleigh's infeld and outfeld did star
variety work. Only one duskey little
error was scored against the team, and
that was simply because a ball thrown
in q hurry by Pastor from short, left
Farrell two feet to his left.
Greensboro was clearly and cleverly
outplayed, and at no time had a chance
to win from Raleigh, playing as it was.
Had the GeensbOro team kept down Raj
eigh's runs the game would have been
ideal but the sluggers in the team just
hammered the ball into the wherewithal
of the whichness.
Greensboro opened with McTeer's hit,
who, with two down tried to score when
Jones batted. but ran out of the line
and was out. For Raleigh Pastor led
with a hit, too hot for Jones to handle
and finally scored with two down on
Hooks hit in left.
GreensbOros next two innings were
three up, three down, a pretty double
being the hOodO in the second In Raj
eigh's second with two down, Sherman
reached first when Cook in left dropped
a long high fly, but Childs few to centre.
Raleighs third was a blank, a double,
Cook TO Jones, doing the work Green's
boro got a hit in the fourth, but it did
not materialize into a run. In Raleighs
fourth with one down Farrell walked ad-
yanced on Smiths single in left and
scored on Shermans hit in right.
A double and a strike out ended
Greensboros fifth that. began with a
nit. In it's half Raleigh took three runs.
Chlds flew to Fox, Pastor walked,
Soffle put a hot three Dagger to the
left of centre Kahn plunkcd a home run
over both fences in left field, Hook and
Farrell went out short to first.
Cook saw first on four balls in Green's
boros sixth, but that was all. In Raj
eigh's half Smith walked, Myers hit in
left, Sherman bunted to the pitcher
who threw too low and left Jack safe
while Smith scored. Chlds flew to the
Tall Fox, Pastors single scored Meyers
after which Soffle and Kain flew out to
short.
In the seventh for Greensboro Jones
reached first as Pastor threw to the left
Of Farrell, sbut nobody scored. In Raj
