Show Things in Baseball Thero are worse things than a good amateur base ball gamo but not many things worse than a poor professional game. That game between the Hydo Park lads ana tho jj. y. stickers last Wednesday brought back visions of last summer when Hartzcll used to hold "the other fellers" down to a'few hits and less runs; not that there were few hits and a low score the other day but because there was Interest of the real sort hovering around among the spectators. The game was not up either team's sleeve from start to finish. Both teams scorcdln'the first inning but the second proved a white-wash for each. Then II de Park picked a thing or two off Richards delivery and runs came In for two or three Innings until the B. Y.'s might have been called easy. But they braced up and sent five or six runs over the plate and threatened to overtake the enemy's lead, and everything looked encouragingly to do so. Hard luck, though, gave two more runs to Hyde Park's ten, making twelve In all, and the B. Y. boys had to quit with eight to their credit. It was a snappy game, no Jangle or waits, not too many errors and some, sporty sport. The Hyde Park boys proved better batters than Logan but did not show such good lufieldlng. The Logan professionals are still In the ring and are anxious to meet some team that can stand before them nine rounds. They are glancing coyly at the B. Y. team but whether the latter lat-ter can be Induced to don tho mlts with such a manly set Is a question yet. Watcrbury leaves In a few days for McClosky's San Fran Francisco team in the Pacific National League. It is hoped he will make good and win a home. |
