The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-07-22

Memphis, Tenn, July N.-(special)- Pennant pursuit proved too strenuous an occupation of the locals today, and they failed dismally in an effort to duplicate the drubbing they gave to the Black Sox yesterday The score, which ended in a to victory for the visitors, does not tell the true tale of Oscar Streft's clever twirling. The Alabama boy held his rounds. and then. with the assistance of Umpire Sorber, who classified as foul ball as ever fell as fair, the locals tall lied twice. Another run which was in the nature of a gift was made by the leaders in the last inning, but Streit won his own game with a great three-bagger on Montgomery's part of the ninth in- ming when two of his comrades were on bases Streit was the master of the field up to the beginning of the eighth in- ming. Four hits. which had fallen at random times was all that he allowed. He opened the eighth inning by striking out Breitenstein. He had two strikes on C. Miller when Miller collided with a ter rife ripple. Phyle followed with a bunt to Whistler, but Streit started to cover first base too late to receive the throw, and Miller scored while Phyle beat 1t out Then came the smash the Sorber saw fall from Werden's bat on fair ground It was high fly back of third that neither Burnett nor Spratt could set under Werden thought the hit land- ed on foul ground, for he stopped at the plate.
 Phyle, who had started to steal second. kept on running and scored. Spratt had chance to throw to first and beat Wer- den. but when he heard Sorber yell flair balf' he stopped playing to start an ar- gument, and Werden ambled to first in safety. There was no more scoring, how ever, as A. Miller ended the inning with a fly to Busch.. With the score a tie, Manager Whistler's men started the ninth inning with determination to win. Burnett drove long fly to c. Miller and ant o Got too hot for Glenn to handle and advanced to second when Clark hit safely past Phyle A passed ball advanced both a base. and Busch brought Stickney home with his triple, which proved to be the longest hit of the day. It fell far beyond the reach of any of the outfielders and both Clark and Busch scored. Streit was left at third by Spratt striking out and Childs sending an easy grounder to Evans A dying rally in Memphis's part of the ninth netted one run on Evans's single, followed by Acorsini's out at first and Breitenstein's double. Breitenstein pitched good game. He was best In the early innings, but the hot pace began to tell on him as the final rounds were reached and Montgomery's batters were peppering his ancient benders almost at will toward the close Breitenstein was most effective in the third inning. when he struck out Streit, Spratt and Childs in succession.
