SPLENDID Pitching by "Gramp"
Morse and Moore.
The Game WaIed Better and Hotter UsdI
Darkness Ended It a Tie.

Of the week, today, on the home dia-
mond, the game being called on account
of darkness at the end of the 18Th in
ming, with the score 3 to 3.
The game was an exciting one in
every sense Of the word. Both teams
Llaycd fast ball and as the time went
on and inning after inning was reeled
off the playing Of the two teams seem
10 grow better, and at the close there
was no sign Of Indifference on the part
Of either the home team or the visitors.
Both pitchers played magnificent
Eall, and i may be truly said that both
pitched winning ball, ana so far as
these honors went, the contest might
well be what il was-a tie.
In other respects also, the teams
We're as near matched as could wen
be imagined, and there was room for
Ill kinds Of speculation as to who
would be the Winner-Gardiner VIM
throp or darkness.
The score remained the same after
the fifth inning when the home team
tied The lead that the visitors had had
was q battle royal.
If there was any odds on either
team, perhaps the good Judge would
have placed them on the Winthrons
after the fifth. For after that time
they came near scoring a greater num-
Der of times. and if they could have
secured a nice little hit or if the Gar
Giner team would have placed less
brilliant ball in the field at these times,
the game would surely have been
theirs
Several times n the last few innings
they came near scoring, just missing
by a scratch. In the ninth, but in
stance. came an occasion of this sort.
With one cut. Carrigan and Irish both
hit and then WorInwood sent a lively
che to second. and most any kind of
play would have brought a man TO
third at least, but burlington nailed
Irish before he reached second, and
doubled it 10 first, retiring the side.
Still. sometimes, the shoe was on the
other foot. and it was at these times
that the home team had the cpportuni-
~ Of showing what it was good for in
the fielding line and they did it, One
"f these occasions, consummated the
most brilliant play Of the day when
Gardiner had one man out in the 1lth.

ana then came the race for the plate

pall had considerable farther 10 come,
but II came faster and Winthrop play
ed the same relay play that We went

wood receiving the ball and fielding it
to Carrigan in just the nick OF time.
1t was the feature of the game. the
difference between it and the play OF
saturday being in the fact that the
play was an even better one, aud that
as subsequent events proved. it meant
the game. II was worth seeing.
Ana these incidents are fair sample
of the game. 1t was n game, as one
man put it. where both pitchers pitched
winning ball and where both teams
played winning ball, and as before
stated. the result was a quite legitimate
one.
