George promptly fired his bat at the
pitcher, for which he was Immediate
ly canned.
Since then he has not given away
to his feeling. Manager Bresnaahn
soothes his genius, and the other fell
lows coddle him along carefully. Re-
suit, Pierce has the best winning rec
ord of any pitcher in the National
league, is earning the position on real
ability, and shows no signs of yield
ing to attack.
He is even a better southpaW than
Jim Vaughn, and the two lefthanders
give Bresnahan the best team OF that
eccentric variety in the National
league. Pierce yielded four hits yes
terday, and pitched excellent ball all
the way. He was upset in the sew
enth by a couple of passes, differing
from Quigley on a called ball, but

hired to pitch and not crate, and he
