Wagner Scores Winning Run
On Otis Clymer's Bad Heaue
Camnitz Relieves Robinson and En-.
cages in Slab Duel With Hess
Final Count is 4 to 3.

PITTSBURGH. Aug. S-Less than
1000 baseball fans greeted the
Braves when they made their ap-
pearance at Forbes Field yesterday
for the opening game Of Il tiIree-day
engagement. but that little handful
OF spectators witnessed n hot scrap
all the way. The Corsairs finally
conquered. but they did not do so
until two hands were down In the
last OF the tenth frame. The final
figures were 4 to 3.
1t was pitchers battle between
Howard Camnitz and Otto Hess. The
Kentucky Rosebud had relieved
Rnbe Robinson in the third inning.
The big Pirate southpaw thought
he felt pretty good after his attack
Of stomach trouble. but he showed
some weakness in the second chap
ter when the visitors scored run
through the help of three hits.
Cammy was effective after his first
inning, when two TALES were made
on two hits, walk and 4 fielding
error. The Boston southpaw also
proved a puzzle to the Pirates, es-
DecfaIfy when men were on the
sacks.
Pirates Get the Jump.
Byrne and Carey walked In the
first stanza and Viox punched n lit
tie hit through Hess. Wagner then
clouted clean smash to middle on
which Bobby and Scoops crossed The
pan. but Viox was caught ut third
on Mann's long heave to DeI3n.
Sweeney and Myers made lucky h.
giles in the second round and fi
scored on q safe hit by Catcher
Brown. After Camnitz had taken
his position upon the firing ifnesin
the beginning of the third Smith
doubled, but was knocked out in',an
attempt to catch him off secoru,
when Wagners throw hit him jor
the top of the koko. Connolly. was
sent to second TO run for him. D&y-
lin walked and Sweeney singled,
scoring Connolly. Carey booted
Bits swat and Devlin got home on
the error.
Miller coaxed base on balls In
the fourth. and made n daring stral
OF second. Mike Mitchell. who had
Joined the team earlier in the day
and whmo played in center, then
knocked a timely single into the
central section. This sent Miller
home. and the score was tied in n
Knot Then the two twirlers settled
down into n fine pace n noldnguu
down into@a fine pace and long rows
OF goose-eggs followed.
Wagner Again Heard From.
Gibson had been removed to use
pinch runner and Simon caupb,
the last inning. Sweeney tripled
when none were gone, but Mike
made one thrilling snap to third
and caught him mapping right at ,
critical moment. In the last of the
tenth Carey caromed little scratch
nit on the glove OF Hess, and Viox
sacrificed. but Scoops was retired
when Wagner got a life. Miller
cracked out n noisy hit into clean
center. and the Flying Dutchman
made a daring dash for third base
lie plowed safely into the pillow.
Otis Clymer. who had taken the
place OF Mann In midiield, seized
Milier's drive and made n wild heaye
over third base. on which Wagner
hotfooted for home and carried the
winning run across the rubber.

distant from the three, was finally
chosen as a compromise. BY dint of
quiet but diligent CONTRASTING of the
populous mining camps, a majority of
the legislature was induced to look
favorably on Colorado City, according
to A. a. Sheldon, the early historian
of Ell Paso county. But in the light
of what came after, the assertion is

soon fell upon evil days. In 1873 the
