Yesterday afternoon a fair-eed audience "tcok in" the fourth 6ame between the Desereta and Brown Stockings from Denver. The interest io the 5r8t two innings was marred somewhat by the non-arnv.il non-arnv.il of Funkhauser, and the consequent con-sequent piayine of young McKelvy on third andGoldiog behind the bat When be got down, a change was made, Gjlding going to third and 'Funk" catching. For eii inninga tbe play by both sides was the finest ever done on Washington Square, three to three being the result of it.' la the seventh tbe Denveis. bv , heavy hitting scored four good runs. , while the home boys made but one.' Tbe Browns went in on the eighth 1 inning, and tallied two; but tbe doings of the Deaerets in that inniDg gave their friends renewed hope they scored six. Wheeler made a good three-base bit, and Golding a home-run home-run one. In the ninth inning each aide scored a 0. This left the score as lollows: 1 2 3 J 5 6 7 8 9 Desere-j - - 1 0 0 0 1 l l 6 0-10 Denvers - - 01110043 010 Another inning was uecessary, and was played with Ibis result: The Denvera went to tbe bat nnd Foutz was called out on a high fly to centre fieid; Blake und Oiero followed and both were retired on three striked Hrjd out. Snow was the first to bat, and went to his first on balls. McKelvy was next and the umpire called him out on first. A daisy two base hit by Golding Gold-ing brought in Snow and won the game, which, however, was continued to the "bitter end." Duko took his seat ou a fly, and Funkhauser made aaafebasohtt and brought ia Golding. Gold-ing. Bess fouled and closed tbe contest con-test 12 to 10. It was the closest game ever played here and elicited BDnlausa nn all sides. McKelvy pitched for the home nine, and Foutz for the Browns. To-day the game will be a short, sharp and spirited one, and it is expected ex-pected a large crowd will witness it, as the entrance fee has been put down to "two-bits" to all parts of the ground. The Omahas, w? understand, will be along here in a couple of weeis, when a Beriea between them and the Deaerets will be played. Word from the Knickerbockers, who have been written to, ha3 been Idelayed. It is thought they will come here before the close of the season. |
