BATTED HARD
IN EIGHTH
Burlington Recruits Took Yes
terday'S Game.
FROM LOCAL BALL TEAM
Both Burns and Wigs Pitched Excellent
BAN, But Latter Was Fortunate
in Keeping Them
Scattered.

The Recruits came down from Bur
lington yesterday, and reinforced BY two
players from the Tri-State league de-
feated the Giants in rattling good
game Of ball, by the score Of to 4.
The most recent recruits figured largely
in the victory. Ward, the successor to
the colored man at short, got two safe
swipes of Burns, and Keough performed
fairly wen at second A third recruit,
a pitcher, was not trieds but the work
fell to Wigs lot. The big fellow had
all manner Of things up his sleeve. He
was touched up for only FIVE hits, one
81 which was homer by shaughnessy;
he also struck out eight and gave but
one base on balls.
Against him was Eddie Burns who
also did great work, allowing but six
hits and giving one free pass, hitting
one and striking out three. But the
Recruits were fortunate in punching
their safe drives. Burns felded his po-
sition admirably, having five putouts
and again covering first in finishe1
manner when Matthews hit to Ashmore.
Norey. in McMahon's place in center
field, was q tower of strength, pulling
down two flies and mailing Wigs at
the plate on Matthews single in the
eighth. Uniae worked in the only error
0f the game on Hazelton's grounder N
the second inning, but Hazelton didn't
get any further.
Burlingtons left and right fielders
covered lots Of ground, particularly All
dinger in the former position. He robbed
Uniac Of a hit ia the eighth, coming
in Oh the run and taking q line drive
three inches from the ground. Matthews
cot a timely hit which scored the win
ming run in the eighth.
The story OF the game up to the
seventh inning was succession Of goose
eggs with both teams playing champion
ship ball. Iii the third Burns pulled out
ST al extremely small hole. Ward sim
eled and tried Eaton's wing on steal.
He died 50 easily that no other Recruit
had the courage to try during the re-
mainder OF the game. Warner followed
II lin with single, and then Wigs
| hit one which Dorman knocked down
but could not field. With two on bases
Keough hit to Uniac who got Warner
at second, while Standard nearly ended
Keough Oh first. Hayes closed by flying
out to Uniac back Of third
In the first six innings the Giants got
three hits, the pitchers getting them,
Burns two and Coolnbs one, but they
didn't come together. In the seventh,
Wits one down and shaughnessy at the
bat. Wigs thought to play q foxy
game by pitching when shaughnessy
was out Of position. But Shaughnessy
met his game by slamming the ball over
the right field fence for a home run.
| That temporarily paralyzed the cab
bage man, and he gave free pass TO the
next man, Standard, and advanced him
| to second on q wild pitch. But Stank
died there is the best Morey could offer
was hot grounder which Wigs cab
| baged and tossed to first. Burns made
fine try for his third hit, sending
the ball into short left center Aldinger
made a pretty catch, and the chance
Twas over
Burlington batted out a victory in
/ the eighth inning. Simon was out, Jnlac
| to Ashmore. but Ward came up with
| his second bit in three times at the
| bat. Warner got in front Of one OF
Burns speedy shoots, and there were
two on bases. Big Wigs was next and
| he hit q hot one for a single, Ward scor-
| ING from second. There were still two
men on bases, Warner on third and
/ Wigs on second Burns disposed OF
| Keough on strikes. Right here was the
/ only yellow work of Lieut.. Thomas
| Strong, q Burlington man who umpired
without the sanction of the league He
handed out the small end Of the deal
to Burns on balls and strikes, and Hayes
was rendered free pass to first, which
he was pleased TO accept as he had
already struck out once, popped to short
again and rolled one to the pitcher on
/ tie third try. His gift made three
on bases. The colored man was ul
next, and he proved equal 70 the oeca'
sion. sending down hot grounder over
second, on which Warner went IN with
tie second score. Wigs concluded he'd
score on the same hit, but he didn't
reckon on Morey's quick return OF the
bali aud Eatonis lightning acceptance q
it. He died. But there was enough g
win. without his score
TIE Giants attempts in the next two
innings were feeble. In the last inning
Wiggs famed Eaton, Coombs and
Shauahnessy. The score
INTERCITY.
