Nine Big Ciphers. That is the Way Kel's
"Hustlers" Were Treated By Comiskey's Browns. |
|
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette |

08-17-1891 |

The nine
eggs that Kelly was presented with today were
not a golden hue. They were white - at least
that was their color as they were hung up on the
bulletin board in Sportsman Park. While Kelly's
men were drawing the nine ciphers Comiskey's
followers managed to secure eight large tallies.
The weather, although a bit cloudy, was, never
the less, quite favorable, and fully 10,000
persons passed the turnstiles to witness the
contest. The game was without doubt the best
seen since the Boston series. Both sides played
with dash, the result of which was that several
brilliant plays were completed. The errors made
were of the excusable order. Whitney's work at
third was magnificent. Canavan took a liner in
the third from McCarthy's bat. Seery and
Johnston fielded splendidly, both making grand
stand catches.
Rettger,
the
Browns's
new pitcher, was very effective, the "Kellys"
being able to find him for only five hits. Dwyer
started in well, but let down badly towards the
end, and was touched up quite lively. As Davis,
the regular umpire, failed to put in an
appearance,
Stivetts
and Vaughn officiated. The former attended to
strikes and balls, and the latter looked after
the base decisions. The Browns began the run
getting in the first inning. Hoy and Fuller were
disposed of in short order. McCarthy, the next
man at the bat, ambled up to the plate, gripped
his ash tightly and connected with the ball for
a four bagger to the right field seats. Than
three innings intervened which netted the Browns
ciphers.
In the fourth, though they
broke loose again and by some splendid stick
work a base on balls and some indifferent
fielding pushed four men around the diamond. The
first to step to the plate was
Rettger,
who found the ball for a single. Hoy made good
use of his "peepers" and was presented with his
base. Fuller perished at first on Whitney's
assist,
Rettger
and Hoy moving up a peg on the play. McCarthy
flied to Marr,
Rettger
coming home on the throw in O'Neill dropped a
safe one in short left and Hoy counted. Lyons
also singled to left and
Comiskey
came to the rescue with a pretty two bagger to
left center which scored O'Neill and Lyons.
Boyle retired the side by flying out to
Johnston.
In the seventh they added
two more to their string. McCarthy the first man
to step to the plate, cracked out a safe on to
left. Whitney got under O'Neill's pop fly and
the Brown's slugger went to the bench.
Canavan handled Marr's return of Lyons safe hit
rather slow and McCarthy ran home from second.
Comiskey's out at first advanced Lyons a base
and he tallied on Boyle's single. Darling flied
to Johnston and the side took the field.
The concluding inning
netted the Browns another tally. McCarthy
obtained his base on Whitney's fumble of an ugly
bounder. O'Neill's out at first placed McCarthy
on second. Lyons hit a scorcher to left, which
brought McCarthy home. If Marr or the King had
been equal to the occasion in the ninth, and
pounded out a safe hit, the visitors would have
escaped being treated to a coat of kalsomine.
Carney corked out a beautiful single to left and
stole second a moment later. Whitney trotted to
first on balls. Dwyer flied out to right. A wild
pitch caught Seery in the small of the back and
the bases were filled. Marr could do nothing but
fan the wind and Kelly sent a weak one to
Fuller, which was passed to second in time to
cut off Seery. |
