Second Game.

o~CoUo oamc-
Umpire Clark and Pitcher Jenkins,
4; Wheeling. 2.
That Is the best way to tell the sto-
~, as the above named individuals
were the main assets OF the Erie club,
]. e.. Clark's poor umpiring and Jen-
kins' great pitching.
Here Is the manner In which Erie
made their runs. In the fourth inning
Scott opened with a single to left.
Nixon, who followed. was practically
struck out. as after getting two strikes
Young grooved the ball right throush,
one OF the best strikes ever pitched
on the local grounds. and Clark called
IL a ball. Nixon hit the next ball
pitched for a single to left. Anderson
hit TO Young. who attempted to catch
Scott going to third. The play was
close. but the decision went TO Erie.
Tydeman flied out to Gray. but Quin-
Ian singled to right, scoring Scott.
Nixon over-ran third and was caught
on JEWELS throw to Welsher. who
pegged to Dodd. who ran the Sailor
down. Miller walked and was forced
at second on Schang's tap to Gray
Score. Umpire Clark, 1.
In the fifth Erie earned two runs on
singles by Jenkins and Gilhooiey. fol-
lowed by Scott's double. Score, UNI
pire Clark, /, plus Erie, 2, equals
Erie 3.
In the seventh GThooIey walked.
Scott sacrificed Servatius to Jansen,
and Gilhooley, trying to reach third,
was pegged out by Jansen to Dodd.
but Umpire Clark called him safe. and
so II made the score, Umpire Clark, 2,
plus Erie. 2. equals Erie 4. when Gil
hooley came home on Nixon's sacri-
fee fly.
Great Pitching.
That was all Erie needed, for the
great pitching OF Jenkins. who allowed
the Smokes but two hits, kept the
Stogies' score down. The first inning
was the only time Wheeling could con-
meet with the plate. and in that In
ming Anderson walked and went TO
second on JEWELS short single to cen
ter. Booze sacrificed both runners up
a peg. Jansen skied TO Quinlan. AT
this juncture Anderson stole home,
while Jenkins was winding up and
Schang allowing Jenkins throw 10
get away from him also let Jewell
come across for the other run.
Manager Goat" Anderson was re.
moved from the game in the seventh
inning for protesting against the de.
cision OF Umpire Clark upon the play
for GIlhooley at third. which is chron.
icled above. Anderson was not the
only kicker. but he was aided by his
; team mates. Before leaving the game
he notified his players 10 make no
play on Gilhooley. which means a pro
! test to the President OF the League.
Star Catches.
The feature OF the game was Gray's
double play. unassisted, in the first in
ming. with men on second and third
and one out Anderson hit a line
drive TO the left OF the Stogie short
stop. which was going a mile a min
ute and good to score two runs, but
; the Wee One just galloped a step
jumped into the air and nabbed the
pill. and. running to second. beat Nix
on back TO the bag. completing q
, double. and had there been none out
triple play would have resulted, as
Gilhooley was over halfway home
Third Baseman Scott. OF the visit
1 ors. also made a great catch in the
second inning. With two out and the
bases drunk, Jewell hit screamei
! on a line inside the foul line. Scott
! jumped out after the ball. and with
his gloved hand grabbed II. which
would likely have brought home three
runs. two any how.
Cy Young again attempted 20 star
the fray. but was derricked in the fifth
inning. after allowing two singles anC
a double. The score:
Second Game.
