The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-08-20

Ed Sweeney was in his worst mood yes
terday afternoon. and the result OF his
wretchtd play was that tho Maps nearly
beat the New Yorks. They did build up a
commanding lead. but late in tho game
Bill Steen and his support went to pieces
and the Chancemen won by to 8.
Aim high is an excellent motto. but
should not apply TO Sweeney in pegging
for base runners. The exceptionally strong
armed heaves by the veteran catcher pre-
cipitated a disastrous predicament into
which Carroll Brown had partly plunged
himself and cheated the former Athletic
of whatever opportunity he may have had
TO entertain the Villagers to the treat of
win by him. Sweeney more than Brown
was responsible for the three runs Cleve-
land crowded home in the seventh inning.
Up to the seventh Brown pitched very
smart baseball. He wabbled some then.
but with proper support the worst he
should have had WAS tied count OF one
all.
But out OF the injustice to Brown came
a windfall to Ray Heating He won a
game by pitching two innings Usually
this hard luck young man has to pitch
half dozen games to win one Heating
took no SINAI! part in the eighth inning
rally. He delivered one OF the eight blows
scored one Of the six runs and actually
stole base--a delayed steal at that while
Steen was dreaming with the ban-at
most important time. He was entitled
TO some thing for all this
Far from a brilliant exhibition from a
purely scientific standpoint, the contest
nevertheless was interesting from start

enough In the last three innings. The
fact that New York redeemed earlier
faults through a terrific batting rally after
had
the fans home happy.
Up to the eighth inning Steen pitched
excellent ball. He was especially good
when pressed, though Sweeney twice
helped him out OF the hole by hitting into
double plays.
Chapman's tumble on Cree opened the
way TO New York's run in the fourth.
Mullen sacrificed. Pecktnpaugh's double

Until the seventh Cleveland made little
impression on Brown. Joe jackson
singled to left to open the period. and
Brown passed La1o!e. Sweeney called for
a pitctiout trying to catch Jackson off
second. His throw went ten feet over
Boone's head. The error put Joe on third
and Larry on second. Kirke popped to
Maisel. Then Turner singled to right
scoring Jackson. Terry stole second
