Cincinnati Reds in the National Leag
Reds won the third game of the serie
Brooklyn had won the first two off
the Ave games here in FIVE days and
has two remaining. BY losing to-day
Brooklyn made it's record twenty won
out of the last twenty four played and
eleven won out of fourteen played on
this second tour of the West. If the
Dodgers should lost the games here on
Monday and Tuesday they would leave
Tuesday night for Pittsburgh in first
place.
Big Crowd Sees Game
The crowd to-day was estimated at
$4,000. All seats were filled except
few at the extreme end of the 1000
emergency seats, which extended
around the front of the grandstand.
There were no bleacher seats in the
outfield and no ground rules were
necessary. Umpires Rigler and Moran
came down from Pittsburgh for the
occasion and Rigler was behind the
bat in the capacity of umpire in chief.
Although the series has been bitterly
fought and the scores have been close
the playing has been remarkably clean.
The umpires had an easy time of it
to-day, despite some close decisions
and the scoring Of one run on claim
of interference made by the Reds.
Sherrod Smith started on the mound
for Brooklyn. He was reached in the
fourth inning for four runs on three
hits, Johnson's error and a felder's
choice. Clarence Mitchell, a fellow
portsider, went to the hill for Brook
Ign after the fourth and limited the
Reds to two hits in the remainder of
the game The two hits off Mitchell
were singles by Luque and Roush in
the seventh inning.
Adolph Luque, the little Cuban right
handler, pitched the full game for the
champions and did it remarkably we'll.
He stopped the heavy sluggers of the
eighth, when they punched three
singles for one run. They might have
scored another run in that inning, but
Luqus picked Douglas Baird, an elher-
| gency runner, off second and struck out
! the hard hitting Mitchell. Luque made
one single off Smith and another CT
Mitchell, but they did not help in the
scoring. His out on difficult chance
to Kilduff in the fourth sent home one
of the Red runs.
Kilduff's fielding was easily the fea-
ture for Brooklyn. His best effort
was a ne-hand stop of Luque's wicked
grounder past Konetchy in the fourth:
It should have been a hit, but Kilduff
picked up the ball and stood the Reds
and their fans on their heads by throw
ing out Luque.
Johnston Trips Duncan
Three hits were made by the Reds
off Smith in the first three innings,
but they did no harm. Duncan opened
the fourth with single to left. Kopf
doubled over third. Duncan took third
on the blow and intended to go home
but as he passed third he was tripped,
Johnston. Umpire Harrison was right
on the job. He reported the tripping
to Umpire-in- Chief Rigler and Rig
waved Duncan to the plate,
The Dodgers made little protest and
the free trip from third to the plate
by Duncan did not affect the result as
there were a number of subsequent
happenings which would have scored
Duncan. One of the happenings was
Johnston's tumble of Neale's grounder,
which put Neale on first and Kopf on
third.
Sticking grounded to Olson and Kopf
beat Olson's throw to the plate with
the second run, Neale taking second.
Allen sacrificed. Kilduff made his cir
Gus throw-out of Luque but Neale
scored on the death and Sticking reached
third. Groh's single to center scored
Sticking with the Reds last run. Kill
duff threw out Daubert.
Luque proved his effectiveness first
when Hi Meyers opened the second in
ming with a triple between Neale and
Roush. The usually dangerous Ed
Konetchy popped little fly to Heinie
Groh. Kilduff grounded to Kopf and
Myers was run down going home, Kill
duff taking second. Otto Miller flied
to Roush.
Kildufg had better luck when he opened
the eighth inning with single to left.
Otto Miller's luck also changed and
Otto singled to center, sending Kilduff
to third. Baird ran for Miller. Mitch
ell had singled to right off Luque in
the sixth inning and was thought to
be the man to score Kildutf, but he
struck out.
Olson's daily hit came at this time
in the shape of single to left and
scored Kilduff, Baird hating at second /
Luque and Eopf picked Baird off sec
ond for the second out, and Johnston's /
fly to Duncan closed the rally lack
Wheat went through the game without
hit. He knocked three flies to the
outtield and one to Sticking. Morris
Rath was not feeling we'll and Sticking |
played second for the Reds.
