8 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SATURDAY. APRIL 30. 1892. t JHNWASVERYEASY ur Sluggers Trim Up the Baltimores in Batlier Lively Style. SOME TALL HITTING DONE. Bierbauer and Connie Mack Each Knock Out a Home fun. . PITE OF THE WESTEEN'TBAHS WIN. Austin Gillons Sir;ns Articles to Fight fctanton Abbott GEH1RAL SrOETJXG SEWS OF TOE DAT Long John Healy and the Baltimores made their first appearance at Exposition Park yesterday after- m noon, and our local tremelyglad to see them. John has had many a tough argument here on the baseball field, but yeiterday was one of the times in which he was very badly left The management of the Orioles has had John resting on the shelf for quite, a while so as to let loose here and turn the adverse tide that has been flow- ing so strongly against that team principally owned by 3Ir. Von der llorst, of Baltimore. The tall and stately Egyptian was not equal to the occa sion, however, and he came in for a real sound drubbing. And when things looked their worst for John and his companions in distress the calliope on the new steam jacket passed down the river near the ball prounds, sounding out in snggestiTe tones the air of "Home Sweet Home." All Much Affected. This may have been irony or it may have been a means of consolation, but it had a great cflect on the Baltimore team from Manager "Walz down to Buffinton, who was at the gate. There were nearly 2,000 people on the grounds, and they saw a very one-sided game. The visitors can undoubtedly plar much better than they did yesterday, and if they cannot home is certainly the best place for them. Their general work didn't rise to the dignity of good amateur base ball. That may have been caused by the ciratic pitching of Hcaly, but whatever was the cause "it is certain that the team u ill play much better than they did yestcr dav. Shoch, the shortstop, was a bright exam ple of how not to do it. Anything that went this way was all right for the home players aQd doubtless the young man felt very, a ery sad. He piled up lour errors in quite an artistic manner and Welch added two more. And then again when John Hcaly was getting the ball over the plate the local slnggers were every non and again knocking the ball out of sigiit, Bierbauer wa out with not only his Sunday clothes and batting clothes on, but he ninst have had general suits on hand, for out of five times at bat he knocked out four hits in cluding a splendid and clean home run. Nearly JIado a Becord. His fifth try at bat almost yielded another great hit And Counie Mack, too, was on deck with the stick. He made a ne three-bagger and was cheered so much that he subsequently sent the ball to the i5-cent seats lor another home run. This h as all very pleasing, but it really left the 2Jaltimores so lar behind that there was comparatively little enthusiasm over the tall lugcing. And OldSport Galyin pitched another good game, alth ugh he surprised his oldest acquaintances by giving three bases on balls in succession and forcing in a run. This was indeed, something remarkable for Jcems. The fielding behind l.im was once snore Tnilliaut, and the only error credited to the team was a highly excusable one made bv Bierbauer in trying to effect a double plaj. He made a bad "throw and a run scored on account of the throw. Alto gether the home team put up a splendid game. In the first inning Jlillcr started off by knocking a grounder to Schoch. hoch's Numerous Error. The latter threw the ball over first base and Jlillcr reached second. Bierbauer made a little single to left and Miller reached third. Bierbauer got io second on a passed ball, and then Smith got his bae on balls, lling the bases and nobody out Farrell Inocked up a littie fly, which "Whistler caught, and Bccklcy sent a grounder to fcchoch, who fumbled the ball, Miller scor ing and Beckley reaching first all right, fjiill three nienon bases and then a wild pitch scored Bierbauer. Shugart got his base on balls, and Corkhill's tingle scored b.nith and Beckley. In the next inning Galvin struck out and Miller got his base on balls. B'erbauer made another single, and still once again -fcx-hoch made a tumble on Smith's grounder and Klnier reached first, Miller scoring. 1'arrell's sacrifice hit scored Bierbauer. In the second half of the inning, Whist ler made a single and reached second on a assed ball. I'icketi sent a fly to Miller, which was caught, and Gilbert struck out Then Jeems to ary his history ns a pitcher gave three baes on balls in succession and lorced in a run. This was followed by a hit by Van Haltrcn, which scored another run. Healy was nabbed at third. 31-iclt's Dig Illttlns. In the third inning after Shngart had struck out, Coikhill made a single and got to second on a fumble by "Welch. Then it was that Mack swipd out a three-bagger to left, scoring CorkliiU In the fifth inning Tan Haltren made a single, and so did Schoch. Wood sent a grounder to Shugart who threw Schoch out at second, and Bierbauer in trying to make a double plar threw too low " to Beckley, and Van Haltren scored on the error. Bierbauer started the sixth inning and rot a tremendous thump at the ball, knock ing it clean to the left center fence. In the ninth inning Smith started with a single and reached second on FarrelFs sacrifice Bcckley's fly was caught hT "Welch, and Shugart made a lively single to right. Corkhill got his base em balU, although he wa-; struck out, Umpire Gaflncy evidently being mistaken. Mack kept up the fun by ending the ball to the center field seats, id all this netted four runs, three of them ing earned. The score; WTTSBUBO. B It P A EJBAI.TIMOKE n 11 P A B Miller. ra..

Ills work In the second game Wednesday evidently had a great deal to do with it. He made a star error, throwing the ball Into the crowd and losing the game. IT has been decided to limit the number of 25-cent admissions to the Washington grounds to the num ber that can be accommodated with seats. When tint number has been sold the sale of quarter seats will stop. However, about 2,500 can be accommo dated.

TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Hollidaysbubo, April 29, John Daly, the aged citizen of this place who was brutally tortured by burglars on the night of April 9, died last night from illness brought on by the injuries and fright re ceived then. Being 61 years old and some what feeble, he could not bear up under the nervous shock and slowly sank to death. The details of the crime surpassed for brutality anything that ever occurred in this place before. Mr. Daly was a veteran of the late war and received a pension. It was evidently supposed that he had drawn his pension money and had it in the house. It was late Saturday night when three masked men entered the house nnd de manded what money was there. The old man said he had none. This did not satisfy the robbers, and they insisted on his con fessing where the money was kept. failing in this they resorted to torture. One of the three began stabbing the aged victim with a knife. Bleeding from many wonnds, the old man still protested he had no money. This onlv brought worse punishment. Another of the men took up a lighted lamp, and while the others held the old man, slowly applied the flame to one of his ears, burning it almost off. failing still to secure any information they knocked the old man senseless and began ransacking the house. For half an hour or more they searched, chopping holes in the floor and tearing of the plaster. Finally they gave it up and left Then they went to the home of Miss Olivia McDowell, an aged maiden lady, and dragging her from bed, tortured her almost to death, demanding money, which she denied having. Knives were run into her ears and face, while a blow from a revolver closed one ere. Finally the fiends tied her to a bedpost and deliberately set to work to destroy all the furniture in the house, a task in which they well succeeded. They then departed with 6, all the money they found. Both the victims were able to release themselves after a time and made their way to the houses of neighbors, whefe they were taken in and cared for. Mr. Daly was suf fering not only from his wounds but from the effects of the Iright He sank rapidly until last night, when his death changed the crime from assault to murder. The guilty parties have never been located. C0MM1SSI0NES ITFEE'S IDEAS. He Recommends Some Important Changes In the Inatxranco Lairs, IlAitnisucco, April 29.
