OTHER COLTS HIT HARD.
LOOSE FIELDING.
by CHAS. M. MONTGOMERY
The sunlight was fast fad
ing in the neighborhood of the
ball park yesterday afternoon
when the Colts came into the
bench for their half of the
ninth and the cleaning, as the
poets say, was at hand. In
fact, there had been a species
of cleaning settling over the
park since the early part of the
seventh frame, when the
Builders made a mighty stab
at winning the ball game, and,
picking up a three run lead
which the Colts had managed
to secure, came to the fore with
three runs and thus managed
to enter the stretch on even
terms with the local aggrega-
tion. This explains the last
named species of cleaning.
Their relative positions were
retained until the last of the
Inning had come around.
Then things happened and
The cleaning and the glooms
and the jinx and several other
|undesirables who have been
tagging after the Colts were
Hispelled. Sentz, putting the
finishing touches on a dandy
record for the day, safetied
into right field, and was gal
(lantly sacrificed to second by
|Moreland. Billy Laval almost
gave the glooms and their
brethren a chance to come back
when he went ont from pitcher
ito first, but he didn't.
Jay Rogers was up, and of
late Jay has been doing some
pinch hitting, as no doubt it
has been remarked. This par
Eicular time Jay again did some
pinch hitting and made a mag
nificent drive to center field,
sending Sentz home with run
and the game by the score of
8 to S.
Variety OF Ball Playing.
AS no doubt has been surmised by
the largeness and the eloseness OF the
total number Of tallies scored by the
teams. the game yesterday WIS some
affair. There was sufficiency of
mighty wailops. little taps stolen
bases. to please the fans who wish
70 see the men ronpine on the Gin
ders, and there was more than a suf- /
ac!ency o. errors to please any of /
those VINO attended the game. But
while the misplays are always wei, /
the super good ones are I
seldom forgot. Eberts' homer In the /
third, sending In Doc Newton ahead !
Of him, yet fingers In the mind. /

Just on the point of the nose. as II .
were, and when It reached to right /

Sentz also broke into the extra base /
nit with great smash. He caught +
one on The nose. and the first thing |
the ball struck after leaving the bat
was letter high up on the right |
field fence. The right fielder had /
rather a remarkable record for the
ame yesterday, for out OF four times
II bat he hit safely three times
banged the ball hard on the other
try. and was safe on Tarleton.s error
Each time he was at bat he scored a
run.
The first inning Of the game was a
Iair sample of the entire contest
drew a walk and scored
when Chastant doubled into right
leld. Chastant stole third, and when
Bresnahan made wild heave he
crossed the pan. The next three men
popped up easy flies.
Double Steal Is Pulled.
The Colts went them one better.
sentz opened with a bingie, and on
~arter's bad throw made second.
doreland and Laval were rather easy
butts, but Jay Rogers was hit by
pitched tall. and Newton singled
through second, scoring Sentz. Jay,
n the meantime. had pilfered second.
md had been advanced on Newton's
III. Doc and Jay then pulled one
II the prettiest plays of the game
when they worked the Matthew's clan
or double steal. Newton took
'ig lead off first, and allowed him
elf to be trapped between the bags.
ay allowed Gillespie the catch with
carleton for several minutes. and !
hen started home after they had
,ecome somewhat interested in their
'wn little game, He made It in safe
y by dandy slide, and Newton also
Innexed second In easy fashion.
)ucky Eberts came across with hit
nd both runners counted.
X The several changes in the New
'ort News lineup were necessitated
" the injury which Haddow sui.
cred in the frat frame when wild
brow by Carter caught him on the
niger and rather badly damaged 1t.
Richmond clouted Carter hard
throughout the remainder of the
anne. but punched the majority of i,
heir nits in the third. fourth and
lst innings Neither catcher seemed
0 make great effort to stop the pill
ering. and swiped bags were rather
requent.
