Way for Pirate Victory
After Pantomime.
HANS WAGNER GETS
I. HIS FIRST HIT IN CITY
Slams Out a Single in Ninth, but
No Damage Follows the
Outbreak.

, ing isn't true. Jake Daubert and George
Cutshaw proved il yesterday afternoon
at Ebbets Field. where the Pirates took
the measure OF the Superbas 10 the tune

far-famed courtesy cost baseball game.
Old courtesy had an able aid in the law
OF gravitation. which has the same char
acterlstic that the laws Of the Modes and
Persians habit changeth not; or, in mol
ern vernacular, il is always on the JOB.
The first inning decided the outcome OF
the bali game and here il was that cour-
tesy. as exemplifed by Daubert and Cut
shaw. and gravitation. which merely
played true 10 form. were introduced 10
some 1000 fans.
Mr.. Carey, who plays left field for the
Pirates, sent the second ball pitched 10
him by Reulbach on a trip TO the CLOUDS.
The sphere did not travel far, but II
travelled high toward right field. Cut

ewes. Immediately figured that Riggert.

the ball couldn't possibly get to the ter
ritory over which he has jurisdiction.
They naturally got busy themselves and
hustled 10 the spot where the ball was
due TO drop. Then courtesy and graViu-
ton appeared upon the scene. with the
bali still climbing upward. Courtesy toid
Cutshaw not to burden Daubert with the
task of clutching the ball when it started
its downward fight. Take 1t yourself

Unfortunately for the superbas, cour-

time The ball, with its wings exhausted
was seeking a resting place, urged on ry
Sir Isaac Newton's discovery. GraVita-
ton was most patient while Cutshaw ana
Daubert were doing the Alphonse-Gasloh
act. and TO the fans II seemed as though
the ball stayed in the air longer than any
other hall in the same plight had ever
done before. But when gravitation real
lied that instead of sentence or TWO OIL

Daubert, il Just felt insulted, ana the
hall dropped 10 the turf. At the same
identical moment Carey dropped on me
cushion at second base. and groans
dropped from the mouths in the graro-
stand and bleachers.

however. ended the agony by hitting

The Pirates scored what turned out 70

and sho1,. bringing Kelly, who had made
a hit after two men were out, over the
plate.
The Superbas had a fine chance in the
first frame to equal, at least, the num-
Der of runs made by the visitors. but toe
fans and Wheat spoiled it all. Zach
came to the bat with Daubert and Dalton
ON the bags as the result of hits aHd
only one man out. The fans always call
upon Wheat for a home run when he
struts 10 the rubber. If Zach lets the
hrst one % for a strike they reduce
their demands to a three-bagger, 9n1
after two strikes settle back, expecting
at the worst a two-bagger.
Wheat on this critical occasion pushed
a nice clean single over third. Daubert
easily scored. Dalton shot TO seconi'
Wheat figured he had made cleanup
and lit out for second. much TO the sur
prise Of everyb body, but especially Dalton
who Just did not know what to do. While
the two Superbas were lighting over the
possession Of second base Wagner drew
on his large supply of gray matter and
in no time boil runners were put out.
This catastrophe settled the game.
II should be mentioned that Hans made
his first hit of the season in greater New
York in the ninth inning of the game. 1t
did no damage. for the damage was al
ready done.
