fHtsourg. Pa. Aug. 29-Pittsburg had n
picnic to-day with the ST Louis Cardinals
was a double-header. and one of the
largest crowds of the season turned out
this being the first time this wear that
TWO games have been played here in one
day.
AT no time during either contest was the
result in doubt. 1t seemed as though it
was just impossible for the Cardinals to
win and for the Champs to lose The Cardi-
mails batted well. fielded superbly. and put
any amount of ginger in the game and yet
1t was of no avail. Their hits always Went
into the Pittsburg players hands at the
wrong moment.
1t seemed as if the fates were against
them. Murphy agreed to take the drubbing
in the first game. He got bad start, for
Beaumont smashed the first ball that he
retired. Leach singled and Beaumont came
home from second. Wagner hit safe. but
was forced at second by Bransheld. and
Leach came home on the play.
LEACH'S DARING STEAL
In the third inning Leach singled to CEN
ter, and Wagner put a nice double to the
same garden. Leach coming home in
daring daring steal: WAGNER reached home on
grounder wild. The other run was made
on Leach's base on balls. Wagner's lie
and Brains second error for the day. That
was all that Pittsburg got, but it was
plenty.
Sam Lever went on the firing line for
Pirates and had the Cardinals at his mercy
at all times. Jimmy Burke was lust Itch
ing to do something and was in the game
every moment that 1t lasted. He was the
first man up in the fourth inning. at which
period st. Louis was still looking for runs.
BURKE MAKES SCORE.
He found one that he liked. then smashed

on Hackett's out, stole third and came home
on Brains high fly to Clarke. In the sixth,
with one out, Smoot singled and then came
this same Burke. He smashed the ball
squarely on the nose and 1t was good for
three sacks. Smoot scoring. 1t looked bad
for Pittsburg when Hackett and Brain
singled in succession, filling the bases.
But Pittsburg's luck did not desert them
and clever double play by. Leach ended
the agony as well as the scoring.
The second game was repetition OF the
first. Rhosdes was sent to the slab, but
started wrong. After Beau had flied out
singled, Wagner did the same, scoring
Clarke: Then Wagner stole second base
and while he was in the act Leach went
was an easy out to Burke and Ritchey drew
a pass. Then Sebring cracked out a cork
ing three-bagger. Ritchey scoring. There
Then Rhoades settled down and did not
allow hit until the fifth. when Beau made
a three-Sacker, but his teammates could
not bring him home. In the seventh a run
was scored on Smiths hit one by Beau and
Clarke's high fly to Dunleavy. Another
was made in the eighth on Bransfield's two
bagge:.
He went to third on Ritchey's out to
Barclay and scored on Sebring's hit.
WINHAM IN TIKI BOX.
Manager Clarke sent in young Winham
for the second game. It was the young
mans first appearance in this city. al
though he won game for the Pirates In
the East. He did very effective work, but
II seemed as though an old woman could
have won with that Pittsburg team behind
he; to-day.
In the fourth Homer Smoot got a nice
three-hagger and scored on Hackett's sin
gle. The fifth started of bad. Brain
slammed three-bagger to middle and Bar
clay followed it up with a double, Brain
scoring.
There wasn't man out at this stage of
the game. but the next three went to the
bench in succession, and the Cardinals got
nothing more after that. Both teams de-
parted tonight for st. Louis. Manager
Clarke took his new Western battery
Thompson and Carrisch-along.- and they
will probably be worked in the second
game.
