Brewer's steal From Third to
Home Plate the Feature of the
Gatne-HarmOn Pitched Last Four
Innings and Only Gave Up One
Hit.
Brewer did it! The former loyal
supporter of the blue and orange stole
4be decisive run that laid low the col
ors of the Yellow Legs at the ball
Garden yesterday. His theft was most
sensational, but was thoroughly within
the limits of baseball tactics. 1t fair
" took the breath from the whoopful
fans. who, when they recovered, could
not refrain from applauding such dar-
ing.
With the score tied in the sixth in
ming. two men out and two strikes on
the man at the bat, Brewer, who had
stolen all the way around to third,
watched his opportunity and before
anyone knew what was happening he
was in ten feet of the home plate,
coming down the path with an exhibit
tion of speed that would be creditable
TO the belated West Indian hurricane,
Harmon was standing in the box with
the ball in his hand, with his back to
third base.
Was a Daring Steal.
Three or four of the Pilots were
standing on the home path, with
Brewer in tow. Little attention was
being paid to the runner, all the Y. M.
c. AS being intent on retiring the
man at the bat, and during the hub
bub that reigned Brewer made a dash
for the coveted home plate. The out
field looked on in amaZement, and the
infield seemed asleep. Starke finally
found his voice and shouted to Har-
mon, but it was too late. Starke was
directly in Brewers path, ready to re-
ceiVed the ball, but Brewer reached
him before the ball did and in the col
lision that took place the ball went
spinning back to the grand stand, and
Brewer scored. This was the last run
of the game, the man at the bat when
Brewer stole home striking out the
next ball that was thrown. Harmon
alone is not to blame for the stolen
run. The blame rests equally on
Hesse and Savarese.
Was IA Hot Game.
Never has there been such holly
contested game on the local diamond.
A large number of rooterS came over
from Brunswick to assist their team in
redeeming their lost laurels. They kept
the grandstand in an uproar, and the
junior section of the local fan populace
congregated around the faithful few
from the town of filibustering fame.
The din was deafening. When Har-
mon went into the box he was given
an ovation. The hot air handed out to
the local pitching hero cast a chill over
the enthusiastic filibusterers in the
granstand.
Harmon was hit often, but only one
rap went safe. Mcconnell pitched
good game until he was taken out of
the box. He was showing signs of
weakness, and was wild at times. With
proper training and hard work this
youngster will develop into first-class
pitcher. He has good speed and good
curve.
Grimes, the big fellow with the we'll
developed reputation, catapulted the
high-low hot ones to the Yellow Legs.
1t would be just right to say that he
delivered the goods. To his effective
ness was due the small dividends
drawn by the Christians at the Bank
of Swat. Two measly raps was the
best they could do.
The game was hardly up to the one
the day before the errors being OF the
most ragged nature, and both teams
played in a listless manner, that was
not in keeping with the sentiment of
the onlookers
How the Runs Came in.
In their half of the first inning, the
visitors scored two runs. Bowman
swatted the sphere to the outer gar
den and breezed down the first tack,
went to second on O'Connors hot one
to left, stole third and scored on Hop
kins single. OConnor went to second
on sacrifice and scored from second
on Hopkins single.
In the second the Christians brought
their first man into port. Graham
hit to short and went to second on
wild throw to first. went to third on
passed ball. scoring on McConnelPs
swift one to first.
In the third the Christians scored
again. Harmon swung at a low one on
third strike, which passed catcher, and
he landed safe at the initial bag, stole
second, and went to third on a passed
bail, scoring on Starkes single.
In the fifth the Christians assumed
the lead. Hesse went to first on slow
handling of bunt by pitcher, and went
to second on bad throw, and scored
on Harmons sacrifice. This ended the
run getting of the locals.
In the sixth the F'ilibusterers scored
twice. Bonner landed safe on error at
short, stole second and came home on
Hopkins hit. Brewer singled safe, stole
second, third and home. Score 4 to
!, favor Brunswick.
The official score:
Brunswick ABB. r. H.P.O. A. E.
