THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY. MAT 11, " 1892. s RAN AWAYUKE CURS. The Giants Decline to Play and Our Sluggers Get tlie Game. DECISION OF THE UMPIRE. Boston's Champions Are 0nc9 More Downed at Cleveland. A GOOD DAT FOR THE BROWNS. Longstreet, the BrooTcljn Favorite, Shows Up Well in Practice. G3SSIP ABOUT THE KEN1UCKY DERBY Our sluggers were given yesterday afternoon the easiest victory they haTe had this sea. son. Umpire Macullar gave them a game 9 to 0 which means that they did not turn a hair for it To be sure, the victory award id means that a defeat must be recorded acainst the Xew York team, and it is likely that the umpire's decision will stand. There was a time in the history of base ball when the Xew York team were jnstly called giants They were o, comparatively speakine, in stature and certainly in play ing ability, but that time has gone and to day Xcw York City is represented by the worst agrejation of ball players that has come from that city in very many years. They ,cted I.lko Children. But along with their poor form as play ers ther acted like children yesterday and divguste.l about 500 people who went to Exuositiou Park to see a ball game. They left the grounds in the most unceremonious manner and without the least semblance of a reasonable cause. During the morning a drizzling rain had been tailing, but about noon it laired up and mined no more until about 4 o'clock. At that time both teams were on the ground, and the rain that was tailing was very slight indeed. It did not cause an occupant of the "bleachers" to move. At six minutes after 4 o'clock it was perfectly fair, and at that time the al leged Giants had left the grounds and were crowding themselves into a little 'bus. "ITmpire Macull.ir prevailed on them to stay aud play the game out, and some of tbe team were willing. Gore and two or three more returned, but the wise managers of the team insisted on "clearing out," and clear out they did. Umpire Macullar was so earnest intbc matter that he rushed out the entrance gate and stopped the runaways on the street and aiain tried to induce them to act like men. But they would have none ot it. Wlint Mr. Powers Claimed. Manager Powers claimed that the game was fixed to start at 4 o'clock and that rain prevented it lrom starting then. There fore, he claimed, the game was legally post poned. All the inrtucements in the world could not cause Mr. Powers to take his team ouio the field. Defeat, in his opinion, was too certain. The umpire returned to the grounds. Of course the bell had already been rung to start tLe came. The home players went on to the field and Umpire Macullar very wise ly awarde 1 the game to the Pittsburgs 9 to ll" P.ctore doing so he carefully thought the matter over aud after reading section 1, of rule 20, he made up his mind. The rule reads: "If the nine of a club fail to appear upon a field, or beiug upon the field fail to begin the game within five minutes after the um pire has called 'play,' at the hour ap pointed for the beginning of the game, un less such delay in appearing or commencing the game be unavoidable," the game shall be iorleited. The Force or the Kale. That rule leaves little doubt as to the soundness of Umpire Macullar's decision. Theommencementof the game was delayed four or five minutes bv an unavoidable caue, viz., rain, and by ail means the New York team were in duty bound to remain on the field until some understanding had been arrived at on the matter. The truth is they were on the field when not a drop of rain was falling and if the rule does not allow a rain shower an unavoidable cause for delay, it is very difficult to find out what is con sidered such when both teams are on the field. Hut Umpire Macullar was prompted to his decision by a higher motive than re warding a victory to a team. He had the public to protect and the 500 people who went to see the game had a right to be con sidered. Umpire Macnl!ars Contention. As Mr. Macullar pointed out, the spirit of baseball rules is to take care of and keep good faith with the public If teams can be allowed to appear on the field and leave abruptly and without any reasonable provo cation and because a few drops of rain come down at a certain minute, there will be ab Folutely no guarantee at all that the public will not be fooled. To say the least of it, the New York man agement acted in a childish and cowardly way and it will, indeed, be a pity it tlicv are not made an example of. The decision ottheumpiic will, of course, be protested But in the meantime it will stand as a vic tory for the J'ittsbnrg club and a game won lir Galvin who went into the bo yesterday to )iteh.

Everything Look Bright forTo-Day's Ken tncky Derby at Louisville. Louisville, May 10. fi&iecia. Tho weather was very gloomy at noon to-day and it seemed almost a foregone conolnslon that the historic Kentucky Derby would be rnn on a muddy track if not in a heavy rain. Late In the afternoon, however, the wind shifted to the North and the clouds parted and the harrows were at once started on tho track at Churchill Downs and before night fall it had improved so much that it is safo to sav that dust will flv when the Derby colts run over it to-morrow. The sun also sot clear nnd everything points to a beautifnl dav for the great race. The field will bo small, possibly the smallest that ever started for tho smkes, but the five colts named to tace the flag have national reputations and the day will be one of deep interest and uncertainty until tho last yard of the distanoe is covered. To-night the talent are sllghtlv divided in their opinions: some think Phil Dwyor capable of landing the prize, while others pin tlieir faith to Azra nnd Irish Chief. At any rate it is an opon contest and that is what makes public interest and good betting. It can't be learned to-night with anv degree of certainty who will ride the colts, but it Is thought I. Murphy will ride Azra; Overton, Pbil Dwer, and Penny, Huron. Irish Chief.rncked very confidently to win the Derbv, arrived in good trim from Lex ington this morning behind the regular passenger train. He seems a little under size but is compactly built, strong looking, and is Eaid to like the distance nnd track ho will probably have to-morrow afternoon. The colt somewhat resembles the famous Bard and he is said to be a weight carrier. L0NQSTBEET IN FINE F0BM. The Brooklyn Handicap Favorite Shows Up Well In Practice. New York, May 10. SprciaU The track and weather were every thin? that racing men could desire this morning, and a num ber of tho candidates for the Brooklyn Handicap were sent along at a lively pace, Longstroet in particular pleasing the critics by the way he ran a mile in 1:43. It was about 9 o'clock when Longstreet, Baceland, Banquet, Nomad and others of Miohael F. Dwyer'8 string came out on tho track. Nomnd and Longstreet were worked together, the 3-year-old In front over three quarters of a mile. The boy on Longstreet bad to pull and swing the lavorite for the Brooklyn from side to side to keep him from running away fiom the son of Wildidle. Turning into the home stretch Longstreet escaped from the control of his rider, and in less than a furlong passed Nomnd and opened up a gap of two lengths. His rider then" took a hard pull, and the balance of the mile was traversed at a slow pace, the time being 1:43. as given above. Nomad's time was 1:4 and the spanking Californlan will bear watching. In the opinion of the best men at the course Longstreet conld have worked In 1:11 had he been allowed to do so. Wind-Up at Nnshvllle. Nashville, May 10.
