The New Yorks made two runs yester-
day IN eighteen innings of play-and mis-
play--against the Athletics. and lost two
games. The Introduction OF the double
header season. therefore. was an artis-
tic frost for the New Yorks, but a sue
cess for the worlds champions. who
showed much more aptitude at clever
team play TO make runs than when they
were here last and not tuned up to con-
cert, likewise pennant. pitch. The scores
OF the double barrelled load fired into
the Chancemen by the diamond kings
were 8 to 9 and to 0.
Such hitting as the New Yorks did
In the two header did not contribute at
all to their meagre scoring. They made
their two runs in the third inning Of
tho first game without so much as touch
ing the ball, didn't even foul it. II was
like this Wyckoff, who had been I'M
furling speed which the New Yorks
couldn't touch, suddenly went loco With
two out and nobody on base. he passed
five men In succession and crowded two
in. Maybe that was a record. It's poor
performance that isn't record of some
sort these days.
The first game was long. loose and
tedious, with the Athletics incomparably
the superior team in skill and resource.
New Yorks fielding was all disfgured
with errors, and Joe Bush. who succeeded
Wyckoff did not let the home players
flourish to any extent as batters. The
home team was weak generally, but the
champions gave "A highly scientific dis
play of run fostering tactics. Their run
and hit tactics and stealing were ably
carried on.
There was one laughable exception.
Rube Oldring. in the second game. made
"a self-planned. dizzy dash from second
TO third while Schulz was pitching. only
to find that that third was occupied by
Chief Bender. The batter came to his
aid by popping fly. and as RUDE got
back to second before the ball was caught
he was spared the consequences of his
lapsus' mentis.
The Athletics hit Heating plentifully In
the first game. but had a harder time with
Heinie Schulz in the second. Still they
punched hits In two innings for sufficient
returns to clnch the game, seeing that
the New Yorks didn't score. II they
couldn't spank the ball to the outheld
clearing for hits they hacked II to the
infield for safeties. They played good
ball and led the goddess Of luck around
with a ring in her nose.
Bsrder pitched one OF Bender's best
games in the second He had everything,
including speed, AZ the saying Is. He
pitched as IL he enjoyed the cool weather.
Give Bender cool day or hot day or
day between the two and ii suits him,
but outside OF that he can't pitch much.
a cluster of errors gave the Athletics
. run In the second inning of the first
game and they scored three in the third
on two infeld hits one TO the outfield and
a wild throw home by Williams. Col
Inns was scoring from second on an infield
hit when Williams threw low to catch
him and the ball went into the stand.
Baker was allowed to come In on the
throw.
Wyckoff passed Heating. Maisel. Hart
tell, Cook and Holden In the third, and
though his iniielders tried to calm him
he grew still wilder Bush came in and
stopped the merry 20 round. The Attn
letics worked the run and hit twice In
the eighth which with three singles and
a poor throw by Nunamaker gave them
two more runs. This In what happened
when the New Yorks tried the run and
hit Hartzell was headed for second and
Cook drove a hard grounder through the
box. What would have been a single was
turned into a double play because Barry,
going over to cover second. ran plump
into the ball.
The second game didn't begin until
1880. BY that time what few shirtsleeved
spectators there were had put on their
coats even II they did have to cover up
their monogrammed silk shirts. Two
overcoats were present and more wished
they were.
The first hit of Schulz was made by
oldrlng in the fourth inning. Schulz
funrbled Conins's sacrifice and walked
Baker, Then he pitched well with the
bases filled, but sacrifice fly by Nc
lnnis brought In a run. The run and hit
by Schang and Bender and a single by
oldring scored Schang In the fifth. Old
rings impetuous but unorthodox steal OF
third, with Bender on that base, took
place In this inning. As Collins hit the
pitch and flied high to PeclSinpaugh Old
ring had time to scuttle back to second.
