 COOney Was the Star

The Boston Doves miscalcuated consid- erabiy when the idea entered their heads that they could beat Manager Moles- worth's Barons with a bunch of pitchers. The visitors were not in it. Moley and his crowd both outfielded and outhit Fred Lakes ball players. in consequence of which the Bostonians bit the dust reluc- tantly. The score was to ?.
 There is nothing like getting good start, and the Barons did that Four successive hits in the first inning, three of them two-baggers, netted the locals four runs. and this number was enough to lasso the game and send an aggregation of defeated big leaguers out of the city lasr right While Moley's men did not score after the first inning. they hit the Dove pitchers freely throughout the game and furnished the fans a lot of fine sport
 It is not known who put the notion into the heads of the Bostonians, but they trotted out lineup composed almost en- tirely of pitchers. Smith, catcher; Mar tell, first baseman. and Cooney at third, were the only men playing in regular po- sitions. Manager Lake is, from all ap- pearances, preparing to farm about 'steen of his twirlers, and maybe he was giving them a trial all in a bunch yesterday afternoon. It suffices to state that they played listless game. Little more could have been expected Manager Lake prob ably expected them to make just the showing they did make, but he evidently had a reason. He is carrying enough ak n1tt according to the best estimate, and a few Of them will be making tracks, pretty soon
 However, the fans enjoyed the game yesterday afternoon. Red" Wolfgangs errors amused them greatly as did the pebbles of the other twirler inf1eld- CTS.
 On the other hand Cooney, the Bos- ton third baseman, played great game. This infielder belongs in the same class with greased lightning and he acquitted himself commendably yesterday. Out of four times at bat he secured two of the Bostonians' hits.
 Marcan and Gygli made an error each for the Barons. Marcan tried to get in the way of a stinging grounder from Moores bat but the pesky little sphere took a false bound and the next time the fans caught sight of it Moley had picked it up in center field. Gyglfs er TOT came in the ninth when he let the ball slip from his init when an out should have been registered. Neith CT of the errors resulted in scores for the Doves, however. As a whole, the Barons fielded nicely.
 In the first inning the locals found Mir. Moore with the greatest ease. The first four men up hit safely and four runs resulted. Marcan, first up. led off with a well placed two-bagger to right field. He drifted around to third and the first squeeze play was pulled off when Moley dropped one in the da- mond which was too slow to field and the center fielder registered on first Marcan scoring. Gygli followed with a short two-bagger to right and ad vanced Moley to third. McGilvray fol- lowed with the third two-bagger of the inning. cleaning the bases. He scored later on Shortstop Browns error. This ended the run. getting for the Barons During later innings the Barons sapped the bal for seven additional safe ones but no runs resulted.
 The visitors also scored in the first inning, but they registered in the run column only once. Burke, the first man up, was walked by Wagner He was ad- vaaceo to third on outs by Smith and Martell, and scored when Cooney hit a Slngle 10 le1t neld. CoOney was left on first when Brown went out on a grounder to Gygi.
 The second and last run secured by the Doves came in the seventh inning. Cooney was the first man at bat, and he hit his second safety to left field. Brown struck out, but Cooney went to third on Mar cans error, previously mentioned. Pitch- CT Williams then tried to throw the ball away, and he succeeded admirably. The sphere was out of Catcher Boyle's reach and Cooney scored on the passed ball. However. the Barons retired the side on oouble play. Wolfgang hit a liner to Marcan. Marcan took the drive in nicely and caught Moore off second.
 Wagner worked nicely in the box for the Rarors again yesterday. He gave the visitors only three hits in five innings pitched. Williams did well, too, allow ing only couple of safeties in four in- nings. One of these. however was a corking three-bagger, driven to center field by Burke.
