The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1904-07-08

Providence gave the fans something TO
talk about for the next month yesterday
when with ell hope gone the team came
TO the bat and took the game deliberately
out OF the hands OF the Newark team
where the umpires and the schooiboy act
OF Manager Daily had placed II.
From the viewpoint OF the rooters the
game was one OF the hair-splitting vari-
ETY. with a grand finale for the climax
and there was not a man, woman or
other being at the game that would
have missed the treat ann the spectacle
ending IL, and there was enthusiasm
manifested such as is seen only at the
greater college contests.
Putnam seemed 10 be I'm the best OF
form and worked his southpaw with the
regularity OF a clock He showed that ne
Is not only as good as any pitcher In the
league, but that he has his head with
him at all times no matter how ratified
the remainder OF the team behind him
may become He kept as cool as could
be imagined when the manager and the
others OF the team we're busy trying TO
make the umpires see the falsity OF the
Judgments made at one or two times dur
ing the game.
Pardee was almost the equal 20 this
man, but when II came 10 the strenuous
time OF the game in the last inning he
could not use his brain capacity as the
Gray twirler did. and this was what won
the game. The crowd had been gradual
ly worked UP 10 fever heat by some OF
the decisions made by the umptres. Has
kell seemed TO desire To run things his
own way even though there was a man
on hand to take a part Of the burden of
his shoulders. The first instance OF this
came In the second inning when Daily
had gotten hit. He tried for third when
Connor got a single and Conahan called
him safe. Haskell left his place behind
the bat and running down the base line
called the manager out. while Conahan
meekly changed his opinion.
The umpires were again off in the
eighth inning In q decision at first II
was foregone conclusion that Haskell
favor the other team. but many had be-
gun TO conclude from the decisions OF the
day before that Conahan would be fair
at all times. He played only the weakest
sort OF second fiddle yesterday. however,
and bowed assent TO everything Haskell
seemed 20 want
For most OF the innings up 10 the eighth
there were rarely more than three men 10
face either pitcher but in that period
the visitors got one run. The Grays could
not equal the occasion and the crowd
began TO move toward the gates. In the
ninth when two errors and a little loose
playing netted two more runs. Things
took different turn, however. when the
Grays came to bat the last time.
Out OF sheer desperation the fans and
rooters began 10 shout with glee when
Putnam. the first man up. got 10 first
on an error by o'Hagan. Pardee couldn' {
stand the noise, and though smiling, could
not control the ball. showing that the
beam on his countenance was one of
nervousness. He decided 10 see what ribs
Wagner had and lodged one there. allow
Ing him TO go to 6rst. Vinson got four wide
curves and went down to first. filling the
bases
Conn came TO the bat and sent two runs
IN with nice hit This took a little more
OF the starch out OF Pardee and he AL

hitting veteran. then strobe to the plate
grabbed the ashsn stick with a grin a.
steel. waited for one strike and sent the
leathern sphere far cut into the field FOR
