The Times Tells of Exciting Crisis
in the Recent Baseball
Match
Many interesting things were writ
ten and said abroad about the world's
tourist players who closed ,a memor
able trip In London ten days ago. No
more interesting account of a game
was written than that which appeared
In the London Times on February 27,
which reached Harrisburg to-day. The
story was headed, "American Base
ball"; "A Match in London," and is
as follows;
"The King was present at the Chel
sea football ground, Stamford-bridge,
yesterday afternoon to witness the
baseball match between the two Amer
ican teams, the New York Giants and
the Chicago White Sox. His Majesty
was received by the American Am
bassador, who sat with him and ex
plained the points of the game, the
Kinjg asking many questions. His Ma
jesty remained until the end of the
match, which resulted in a win for
Chicago by live runs to four.
The game was watched by about 25,-
000 spectators, and, considering the
stickiness of the ground, the play was
of a very high order. At the end of
the nine Innings the score stood 2-2.
The tenth inning was extremely dra
matic and prodtfeed two runs to each
wide, making the score 4-4'. New York
Jailed to score In the eleventh, and
Daly, the first man to go to the bat
for Chicago, hit a magnificent home
run and won the match.
Crisis of (be Matrh
"Perhaps the greatest incident of
the match was in Chicago's tenth in
ning. The score was 4-2 in favor of
New York, and Chicago had two men
out, with one (Weaver) on second
base, when Crawford came to bat. The
situation cried aloud for a home run
—and it came, the batsman lifting the
ball gorgeously over the head of the
left field into the middle of the spec
tators in the further stand, scoring
(Weaver being on second base) the
two runs necessary to tie the match.
It was hard on Faber, who pitched
finely throughout the game; but it was
superb.
"There were, however many thril
ling inclde«""3. In Chicago's eighth in
ning an extraordinarily brilliant piece
of vork by Merkle put Bliss out bv a
matter of inches at the home plate' as
he came in from third base, and for
the moment saved the game for the
Giants. Magee's-performance at left
field again and again roused the spec
tators to enthusiasm. One catch in
particular, when he took a fiver from
Daly with his left hand high up
against the rails, was almost too spec
tacular to be 'good ball.' On the other
hand it was bad fumbling in the short
field that allowed Chicago in the third
inning to get three men on bases be
fore one was out, so that when Weav
er got the ball away cleanly to the
boundary Evans and Bliss came home,
and gave Chicago the first two runs of
the match. It was poor fielding again
which enabled Magee In New York's
next inning to get to first base, so
that when Lobert hit a great home
run the score was equalized. Such
Ihings, however, were very few, and
the bad conditions of the ground more
than excused them. In compensation
there were some brilliant double plays
notably in Chicago fourth inning, in
which Lobert, Doyle and Merkle took

part. Faber pitched very well through
out for New York For Chicago Scott,
who is reputed the best pitcher In
either team, grew a trifle wild in the
fifth inning, and was succeeded by
Benz, who did extremely well in the
trying final periods. The catching (in
the American sense) of Wingo, Bliss
and Slight was faultless.
Impressions of tlie Game
"English spectators, to whom the
game was new, must yesterday have
received certain definite impressions.

have the youthful joy of 'corking' the
ball as hard as possible at the fleeing
batsman. It is superbly organized and
specified in every detail; but the
framework of the old English village
game still remains. Secondly, in bat
ting, in spite of all the gorgeous smit
ing that was seen, baseball does not
compare with cricket. Next, the
cleverness and velocity of the pitching
ure wonderful. Finally there is no
fielding in cricket which approaches
the throwing which were seen yester
day. The catching (in the cricket
jsense) was extremely good; but the
real marvel of the game was the al
most indescribable suddenness and ac
curacy of the returns. It is little ex
aggeration to say that in the double
plays (when two batsmen were put
out off the same stroke) the eye had
difficulty in following the movements
and the flight of the ball. The throw
ing from all points was approximately
perfect. The catching (again in the
cricket sense) almost as perfect, and,
in the case of both Merkle and Daly,
at first base, quite beyond praise. Be
fore the game began (the King did
not arrive until a few minutes before
3 o'clock) an exhibition of hitting,i
fielding and throwing was given by
members of the two years, which de
lighted the spectators, one excellent
piece of fooling being when the New
York men for several minutes played
with an imaginary ball. Members of,
the crowd contributed their share to
the entertainment by pleading with
the pitcher to kill the batsmen, and
the way the umpire called the 'strikes'
and 'balls' and delivered his decisions
was a joy. Altogether it was an ex
cellent game but, to English specta
tors—it was not cricket. It cannot be
said that the crowd showed any evi
dence of thinking that baseball is ever
likely to supersede our national game.
"The sides batted in the following
order (New York going in first), the
places in the field of each man being
given after his name:
NEW YORK
