Myers Swings on First Ball.

myers Swings on + lrSJ BAH.
The first ball pitched looked good to
Myers and he swung on il, lifting a
high foul fly behind the plate, which
fell into Cadys big mitt. There was a
wild Boston shout. Daubert struck out
on three pitched balls and stengel
grounded out, Janvrin to HoblitzeH,
with one ball and one strike him.
The side was thus retired on seven
pitched balls Fine pitching, Shore"
yelled a Boston fan.
Hooper. first man up for Boston. let
the first two go by for balls; the next
two were strikes. then he fouled one off
ana hnally was victim on strikes.
J2nyrin was disposed of quickly, going
out the same route as Hooper on three
pitched balls. This performance en-
couraged the Brooklyn supporters, but
Walker, next up, with one strike and
no balls, smashed a mighty drive to left
center for three bags. He was left on
third, as Hoblitzell grounded out, Cut
Shaw to Daubert.
Brooklyn got two men the bases
in the second inning, but a quick dou-
BILE play killed chances of scoring.
Wheat shot grounder at Hcblitzell,
who could not make it in time to
throw out the runner. Cutshaw hit
into a double play. Janvrin scooped
up his grounder and tossed it TO Scott,
who, after touching second to force
Wheat. got Cutshaw at first Mowrey
drew base on balls and was left at
first when Olson struck out.
Boston got three on in its half of
the second. but was also unable to put
a runner across the plate. Lewis
opened by waiting out four bad balls
beautiful bunt toward third. Both
Mowrey and Chief Meyers tried to
field the ball. with the result that
neither was able to pick it up and
both runners were safe Scott sacri-
feed, Meyers to Cutshaw, Lewis and
Gardner ad ancing.
Meyers stepped to one side and Cady
was purposeiy walked, filling the bases.
Brooklyn made the right guess. as
Shore struck out. Hooper. with two
balls and no strikes, slammed a high
and long fly to center field. After
sighting the ball Myers ran back and
made a great catch on the full run.
Had the ball slipped away from him
it probably would have rolled to the
center field fence for a home run.
Chief Meyers was an easy victim in
Brooklyn's half of the third, ground
ing out, Shore to HoblitzeI- Mar
gle to center and was left at first, as
the hard-hitting Daubert struck out
for the second time, on three pitched
balls.
Boston Scores in Third.
Boston tailed her first run in the
third. after two were out. Janvrin
struck out Meyers dropped the third
strike, but threw the batter out at
h-st. The throw was a bad one and
nearly got away from Daubert. 1t
a'so was the second time that Janvrin
had famed. Walker also struck out.
I:oblitzen hit to right field for three
bases and came home when Lewis hit
the first ball pitched down the left
field line for two-bagger- Lewis
took too much ground off second, and
was caught by perfect throw, Meyers
20 Olson ending the inning.
Brooklyn tied the score in the fourth
inning. Stengel singled down the left
1-e!d foul line ana came all the way
home on Wheat's terrific hit for three
base to the right field bleachers. Cut
shaw shot a hot liner to Hooper, who
lost his balance in making difficult
catch after a run and fell fiat on his
back Wheat dashed for the plate the
instant the ball was caught, but
Hooper quickly regained his feet and
made a remarkab BILE throw to the plate
Cady took the throw directly over the
plate and touched Wheat out on the
ankle for double play as he came
sliding into the plate. feet first II
was easily the feature play of the
game Mowrey was thrown out by
Janvrin
