PIRATES CATCH A TARTAR
Fall Before Fierce Onslaught of
Fighting SuperbaS.

Pittsburgh. Sept 23.-The hopes OF the
Pittsburgh Pirates for finishing in second
place received a staggering blow when the
Brooklyn Superbas won the opening game
Of the final series here this afternoon.
Brooklyn rushed off TO a flying start and,
once out in the lead, was never headed,
and won by a score OF to 4. The Pirates
rallied strongly in the eighth and ninth
innings, but Ragon, whose duties hereto
fore have consisted largely in rescue work,
pitched well enough to stave off the i'm
pending danger
Lefty" Leiield was the choice Of the
Pirate management to beat the Superbas,
but he had little on the ball to deceive any
team Three singles punched up with a
double steal and an error were good for
three runs in the first. and in the third
inning two hits, with a force play scored
another. Leifeld retired after that inning
in favor Of Gardner, who pitched good
game and allowed three hits, good for one
run He struck out seven men and issued
no bases on balls Ragon retired three
men on strikes and issued two passes.
Fielding inclined toward the ridiculous
was scattered broadcast throughout the
contest, with Brooklyn playing the lead
ing part in the comedy. Four errors were
charged against Dahlen's team. yet these.
with nine hits and two stolen bases, were
not enough to enable the Smoky City con-
tingent TO win out. Two of the bungles-
one by Ragon and another by Northen-
came in the first inning, with two on base,
but only one run was scored, thanks to
sleepy base running on the part of Byrne
and Dorsey.
Northen singled and scored on hits by
DAILY and Smith. DAILY scored when Coul-
son hit to right for a base. Smith took
third on the wallop and scored when he and
Couson worked neat double steal, while
Coulson took third on wild throw by
Simon.
Byrne singled for an opening I'm the
Pirates half Of the first, and when Ragon
threw a little bunt by Dorsey to centre
field in trying to get Byrne a second base
the latter took third. Northen did a little
booting of the ball while Byrne scored
Dorsey In the meanwhile loafed along and
made only second base.
Daubert singled TO left IN the third in
ming and Daily made his second hit, send
ing Daubert 10 second, whence he scored
when two force plays followed in order.
Daubert's double and Days single
scored Brooklyn's last run in the fifth in
ming, and although Pittsburgh rallied in
the closing frames Ragon held them off.
