Reds Lose Game and Toys

Chicago, April 2S-The Cincinnati Ma
tional league team, appearing on the
field for the first time in history with
out red stockings, was defeated by
Chicago today to 2. Instead of the
famous hose Which gave the club its
sobriquet of "Reds," Manager Tinker's
men wore the stockings OF the Chicago
White SoX, lent by Owner ComislSey
with complete outfit of uniforms, gloves,
bats and shoes, the Cincinnati teams
uniforms having been accidentally left
at ST. Louis Misfit shoes and in some
cases tight clothes Handicapped the visi-
tors. sonNere unable to stoop low
enough to grounders and others
could not run fast enough to catch
flies. The locals punched hits with this
poor fielding and won easily.
When the lack of uniforms was re-
ported to Manager Tinker upon the ar
rival of the club from st. Louis. he
requested a loan from President Muir
ply of the local club, but there was
some deficiency about compliance and
Tinker called on Mr.. Comisky. Score.

How Game Was WON

There was no man on bases when
King, in the third round, clouted the
ball far over the head of Bodus in
deep center. But the single run looked
large and grew in proportion as the
end came nearer and nearer But in
eighth bit of wildness assailed the
hitherto tmpregnable Pole and he is
sued a pass to Ellam with the bases
full, forcing Bodus across the plate
With the score which tied
in the tenth. however, the Lookouts
broke the tie by clean and timely
swatting. Gillespie opened with a fly
out, but Flick smacked one solidly to
center and Immediately afterward stole
second easily Street then placed a dou.
bio near the scoreboard and Flick
counted. Street advanced on a passed
ball and scored when King singled to
left
The locals during the battle had sew
eral opportunities to count but in ey-
cry instance the hit in the pinch was
missing. This fact was due more TO
the excellence of Covaleski than to
the lack of hitting ability on the part
of the Barons
