A FIXE ONE TO WIN.
Terry ritchrs Great Ball and Onr Sluggers
Beat thn Giants Again.
Those who saw yesterday's ball game at
Exposition Park between the Giants lrorn
Isew York and the
local sluggers saw
just as exciting a
contest as anybody
need look at The
home chaps won,
but nobody was
sure of it until
"Shorty" Fuller
was retired at first
base in the ninth
inning. Hatters
were so painfully
close at that stage
that had Mr.Fuller
made a safe hit the
result might have
been quite differ
ent. But he didn't hit the ball, and the
sigh of relief that went up from the 1,100
spectators in consequence could be heard
a long wav off The truth is that it looked
as if the home team were -go'iug to be
doomed to defeat once more in the ninth
inning after leading all the way.
An Ar-uinnt B-tween Pitchers.
It was indeed an argument of the most
desperate kind between the pitchers, Busie
and Terry, and the latter got the best of it
because P.usie was directly responsible for
two of the runs made by the home team.
But both men pitched in remarkably fine
form and neither of them could have been
grumbled at for defeat Certainly Kusie's
fiitcliing was not the cause of the defeat of
he Giants as much as the inability of his
solleagues to hit the ball safely. More
than once a single would have tied the
Fcore or won the game for the visitors, but
Terrv was too much lor the batters from
the East.
In the sixth inning the Giants looked
awfully threatening, but that hit which
they aspired for was not to be had. They
had three men on bases and two men were
out Terry had filled the bases by giving
Doyle his "base on balls. Buck Ewing was
next at bat and one of these big hits of his
was strongly hoped for by Manager Powers
and President Day who looked anxiously
on. But Buck tailed to get the ball avtay
safely and he forced a man out at second.
Somn Very Exciting Stages.
All through the contest there were ex
citing stases and the local rooters were
kept perspiring big drops of sweat
The pitchers could not well do better than
they were doing, but the fielding was very,
verv shaky at times. Almost all the hits
made off "Terrv's delivery were of the
scratchiest kind as they never got past an
inficlder. Bierbauer as usual played in
brilliant form and was "more than once
cheered.
During the fifth inning rain began to fall
and after the first half had been played and
the home team liad three men on bates, a
rnn in and onlv one man out in their half
"tinie" was cilled. Busie was pitching so
well that local a lmirers were not very eager
to have the contest resumed as the score
stood 3 to 0 in the home team's favor. But
the rain soon stopped and so did the run
getting of the local team. But all's well
that ends well and the victory places the
home lellows clparly into filth position in
the race.
In the first inning Patsy Donovan gave
the Xew Yorkers a pointer or two about
base running; in fact, he bewildered Cap
tain Ewing by crossing the plate fe the
most darinz manner. Miller started off the
second half and got his base on balls. Douo
tun forced Miller out at second and then
Patsy stole second.
DonoT-in's Great Bias Banning.
Elmer Smith followed with a grounder
to first base, andVhile Boyle and Busie
were putting Smith out, Donovan actually
got safely 'home. It is needless to say
that he was cheered, and it is something tor
cranks to make a note of when a man scores
from second on a sacrifice hit Ewing
could hardlv believe his own eyes, but
Donovan was there sure enough.
Donovan's was the first run, and it looked
as if it might be the last, judging from the
wav Amos Buie was putting the ball
across the plate. But another one was
tallied in the fourth inning. After Dono
van vas out Smith got his base on balls,
and stole second, afded by a wild throw by
Xwing. Shugart's sacrifice sent Smith to
third, and he scored on Beckley's single to
right Beckley tried to steal second but
was easily thrown out by Ening.
Mack'a Tlm-ly Stolen Base.
The fifth inning came round and still
another run was netted. Farrell got to first
on a wild throw to first by Fuller. Mack
made a single, sending Farrell to third.
"While Bierbauer was at bat, Mack started .
to steal second, and when Ewing threw the
ball to that bag, Farrell started lor home
and scored all right Bierbauer fouled out
and" Terry got his base on balls. Miller
made a scratch single filling the bases and
"time" was called.
"When play was resumed Donovan forced
Mack out at the plate and Smith was re
l tireU at first
In the ninth inning Doyle started off with
a base on balls and Ewing knocked out a
fly, which Donovan caught Danny Lyons
struck out and Lawyer O'Bourke made a
single to lelt and Boyle got his base on
balls, filling the bases. "With two strikes
called on him Busie made a scratch hit to
Shugart, which was safe, and Doyle scored.
Fuller went to bat with a chance to win or
tie the game, but all he could do was to
knock an easy one to Terry, who threw him
out at first, and the agony was over. The
score:

CHAMPIONS AT TENNIS
Opening of the Tournament of the
J'' Sewickley Association.
DRAWINGS FOR THE DOUBLES.
lloorfiead and Tier Meet in the First Sound
if
of the Singles.
GOOD FLAX SEEN BI A LARGE PARTI
Tennis is now the reigning attraction at
Sewickley. Yesterday afternoon the annual
tournament of the Sewickley Athletic As
sociation opened under the most favorable
circumstances. The weather was about
right; the attendance was large and ap
preciative and the entry list was just long
enough to assure a pleasant week for all the
devotees of the game. The audience was
composed mostly oi the residents of Sewick
ley, who take a great interest in all that
goes on at the S. A. A. grounds. Many of
Ihem were ladies, friends of the nartici-
1 pants, and they were generous enough with
their applause to call out tne nest enorts oi
the contestants.
The courts are excellently situated and
the afternoon sun, which shone out fiercely
for awhile,, was not particularly trouble
some. A wind came np about half-past i
o'clock and interfered somewhat with those
players who were expert enough to pre
judge the strength ot their strokes before
the ball was within reach. It spoiled sev
eral of those nice "places" that Moorhead
is distinguished lor, and it carried the balls
'once or twice outside ot the side lines,
when without its interference they would
have counted.
Conrt Celebrities on the Gronnd.
There were many familiar faces among
tne playen E. B. Vaill, who has been
away in the East for a month, was there
and he carried his nut-brown color, that
told of an enjoyable outing, with him. S.
W. B. Moorhead had concluded tor enter
the singles and was pitted against Arthur
Pier in the first round. This was unfortu
nate for Pier, who deserved to have been
drawn against some other antagonist, and
thus to have been able to meet Moorhead
further alpng in the match. Fate willed it
otherwise, thouglf, ami Pier will next strive
for the consolation prize.
Coster, of the Pittsburg clnb, was there
but he won his match by default, neither
Thompson nor Whelan, of Altoona, appear
ing, and in consequence did not play.
Christy was ih his stampii-g ground, but
neither Porter nor Woods, who are with
him on the committee of arrangements,
played yesterday. Mr. Woods will not
play at all, being out of practice, owing to
his acquirement of Ie,'al lore which is now
in progress. There were also some faces
that are not so familiar, and some of them
may win places further along in the tounds.
The probability is that the finals will be
played between Christy and Moorhead. The
first round bus not yet heen worked out, but
it Ih probablo that the semi-finals will he be
tween Vaill and Mooihead, Christy and Cos
ter. The Big STa'cb of the Day.
The Interest of the day centered in the
first match that was played that between
Moorhead and Pier. This is the fourth time
that these two have met over the net in tour
naments this season, aud this had, no doubt,
a good deal to do with the plav. Pier
had been beaten in the other matches and
lie expected to be beaten in this one.
Therefore he played a-losing game. Never
theless it was a gamy fight, and when the
conclusion was reached at the end of the
second set he was not so fur behind Moor
bend in the number of points made. Neither
plajnd at his best, and while both sets ware
"deuce" it was not so much due to points
earned as to points lost Dy misplays. The
fact tl at the backstop neis were so close to
the courts made it difficult for the con
testants to return a ball that had been
lobbed or to stop and return a swl t drive.
There were some very piettyTiltsof vol
leying, however, scatteied along over the 23
games that were played. In the first set it
looked for a time as if Moorhead would gain
an eay victory. The games stood at one
period 5-3 in his favor.audanotherone would
have won him the set but Pier palled
np and won the next two, making the games
five all. Then eacn won a same and Pier
took the next, patting him in the lead, but
there he stopped and Mootbead carried the
next three games and the set. The second
set was also a "deuce" set, but in this Pier
got no further than the fifth game. Of the
28 games 14 were "deuce" games, and the mn
Jmlty of these weie in the second set A
summary of the two sets is as lollows:
Moorhead,

Vaill Plays Good Game.
E. B. Vaill played two matches and won
both by good Judgment in placing his balls.
In both he played a strong game and in tho
first he was entirely too strong for his oppo
nent. Handy, ot Hnzolwood, who only capt
ured one game In the match. Thd second
match between Vulll and Campbell, of
Sewickley, opened with the former playing
rather bully. Campbell took four ot the
first five games but Vaill biaced up and
captuied five straight and the set Ho also
only allowed Campbell two games In the
second set, and It was owing to his ability to
place the bill at his pleasute out of his
opponent's leach. Mr. Vaill's vacation has
certainly improved his game. To-day he
will meet wltn Moorhead, and the round
will be more than ordiiiaiily Interesting.
Guthrie, or Pittsburg, startedout a winner
of the round between himself and Banse
mer, of Hazel wood, but he tiied utter taking
the first set and lost tho match only after
three bets were playe J.
ChrWty Captures His Match,
Christy won his match wlth-Kirby, ot
Hazelwood, taking tne first arid thltd sets.
In neither of these did he play his best
game, but his play shows that his hand has
not lost its old time cunning with tho racket,
and heroic) the tournament is over he will
meet an opponent worthv of his best efforts.
When Chrltv Is playing his best game It Is
one that is bound to win. He carries every
thing befote him by an Irresistible force
and fascinates the onlookers by the speed
and brilliancy of his drives, smashes and
volleys. It is to be hoped that the spell
comes over him when he plays to-day and
to-morrow.
Both sets between McClintook, ot the "3
A.'s."and sburn, of Sewickley, were deuce
sets. They werenearly eenl matched and
played an inteiestlng game, Osburn taking
both sets.

H0VEY THE WINHEB,
He Defeats Lamed for the Tennis All-Comer'
Prix- at.Newport.
Newport, B. L, Ang. 3a The day for the
final match in the national tennis tourna
ment saw pleasant weather, a large crowd
or people and the courts In fine condition.
It was the match for the all comers' prize
between Hovey and Lamed, winners in yes
terday's contests. Each had many backers.
Larned's persistent and strongest work
throughout the week made him a formi
dable rival in the minds of many, even
against a man with the recognized ability of
Hovey. Lamed was nervous, and one by
one .games were scored for Hovey, who was
playing in the same carefnl, conservative
I style as yesterday, and Lamed did almost if
j not quite as much to give Hovey the first set
' SB llirl fhnl: nlnvAl tllniBAlf- 1
With the beginning of the second set
Lamed braced to do better, but the set went
to Hovey 6-2.
Lamed was doing good work: though
Hovey took the ninth game he could not
quite win the next, and five games-all was
announced. Hovey took the odd game, both
men playing well. He took the lead in the
next, and with Lamed at 30 passed bis man
down the side line and bail won the all-comers'
enp for 189i Hovey won as follows. 6-0,
6-2,75.
The final match in the consolation series
was played thisalterneon by Malcolm Chaca
and D. W. Chandler, and, as expected, re
sulted in favor of the former. Chace took
tho first two sets with the greatest ease, but
in the third Chandler, who Is a little fellow,
worried the big Providence boy badly, and
made him work hard to nin. Chace was
playing well, but somehow seemed unable
to win against the dogged persistency and
steadiness or his opponent. Cbandlertook
the first four games straight, and then the
tide turned, and Chace made it 4-a!l. Chand
ler won the odd games each time till 6-alI
was called, when Chace finally braced and
landed a winner or the consolation purse.
Chace beat Chandler'6-0, 6-L 8-6.
