NEW YORK TOOK THE FIRST

Giants Outplayed the Orioles on Their OwnGrounds.

The Latter Couldn't Hit Haale, WhileNew York Hit Hard and

Fielded Well.

The Baltimore nine was defeated by theNew York nine yesterday, at Baltimore, inthe first name for the Temple cup. Theycouldn't hit Rusle. The Sun says, In de¬scribing the game:

The Baltimore* Outplayed.The Baltimores were outplayed at every

point. They could not hit the curves thatpeerless Amos Rusle shot across the platelike thunderbolts. They could not get downto business and field with that confidenceand daring which has brought them fameand honor. Neither could they strike thatfamous "get-at-'em" gait before which thestrongest of opponents quail. The boyswere beaten because New York played bet¬ter ball. T^iey knew it, too, and attributeddttfeat to no other cause, but they did pro¬test in unmeasured terms against UmpireKms--lie in cutting off their chances when.In the very last inning, a faint ray of hopehad for an instant brightened up their dark¬er ed spirits.

An I nrspeetcH Derision.This decision of Kmslie's was inexplicable.

The Baltimores had 3Cored one run andReitz was on first, with one man out, whenJennings bunted down the third-base line.Davis ran in. scooped the ball up and sentit over to first, but It did not get there untilJennings had crossed the bag. The crowdcheered wildly and the scorers all markeddown a hit to Jennings. "Men on first andthird with one out," the rooters were say¬ing to each other when a yell of rage fromthe Baltimore players attracted the atten¬tion of the spectators. Kmslle had calledJennings out.The Baltimore men rushed at him like

wild men and the New Yorktrs also gath¬ered around. Brodie and Doyle got Into apushing match, which added to the excite¬ment. Ward ordered Doyle away and wasobeyed, but Robinson could do nothing tocalm his players. For several minutes theyrefused to leave the lines and play wasstopped temporarily. A moment later thethird man was put out and the game wasover. The spectators crowded u|>on thefield, and as a matter of precaution theumpire was escorted to the club house bypolicemen.

It is not apparent how Kmslie could havegiven such a decision at such a time. Theplay was not even a close one. It was clearand evident that the runner was safe. Itlooked like the turning point In the contest,and the Baltimores should have been giventhe full benefit of the chance which seemedabout to present itself.

A HumI«* Day.And now for the game itself.It was a regular Rusle day. The big 'un

Is a great pitcher at almost any time, butwhen the weather Is dark and cloudy hiswonderful speed alone makes him wellnighinvincible.During the first six innings the champions

made but two hits. Heeler singled to left Inthe first inning and reached second onBrouther's intieid out, but was caught try¬ing to score on Fuller's fumble of >lc-Graw's grounder. In the fifth Jenningssent the sphere to center for a base, andwent to second when Ksper got four balls,but Rusle retaliated by catching Hugheynapping. McGraw made a clean hit to leftfield in the seventh, and Robinson and Kel-ley followed suit In the eighth. Robinson'shit being a drive over second and Kelley'sa scratch past the pitcher. In the niinhMcGraw singled Into left and Reitz buntedsafely. This was the head and front ofBaltimore's batting, and this wasn't enoughto win a game, but It was a great tributeto Rusie's pitching.The score shows that It was Rusie, and

not the New York club, that defeated theBaltimores, just as Rusie or Meekin haveby themselves won many games for NewYork this season and landed the club in theposition it now occupies.

HoinrnhHt I.InIIch*.Under ordinary circumstances the Balti¬

mores would have outfielded their opjwi-nents, but there was a suggestion of list-lessness about their work. McGraw, al¬though he batted and ran the base3 well,was off In his fielding, allowing two ballsto go safely Into left field that he oughtto have "eaten up." Kelley was sufferingwith a cold, and In the sixth inning fellover first base and strained his leg. so hemay be excused, perhaps. If his work wasnot as good as usual. Brouthers. Reitz andJennings fielded well, and Robinson caughtseveral difficult foul files.

Clean-Cut nnil Dunliiiiu.The play of the New Yorks was cleaner

cut and more dashing than that of the Bal¬timores, probably because the New Yorkshad their hearts In the work. Burke battedwith excellent effect and Davis, Doyle andVan Haltren fielded brilliantly, Van Hal-tren making two remarkable runningcatches. His work. McGraw's desperatebase-running and Brodie's batting were themost conspicuous features. On account ofthe crowd that surrounded the Held no hitwas good for more than three bases.

The Winning; Hun*.For four Innings the struggle was a

pretty one and neither side scored. NewYork had made three hits and Baltimoreone. Then the New Ycrks took more kindlyto Esp?r's slow "dinky" drop, and began todraw to the front. Their first run In thefifth inning was made on Van Haltren'striple over the ropes in right Held and Ful¬ler's fly to Kelley. Davis' three-bagger intothe crowd in left Held and Doyle's Infieldout added the second In the sixth. A two-bagger to center by Rusle and Burke'ssingle to left developed run No. .'1 in theseventh, and in the eighth they rounded uptheir quartet, Doyle's line triple, whichKelley misjudged, and Ward's Infield outbeing the factors.McGraw set red the only run for Balti¬

more in the ninth inning. He led off witha hit, went to second when Davis threw

President Scden of the Bartons says thathe Is not a bit alarmed about the prospectof a new organization in base ball, and thatas far as he knows there is no one behindIt. It le known, however, that ManagerSelee fairly went down on his knees to theBoston players to sign for next season, andthe owners of the club gave notice of in¬tention to renew tteir contracts for anotherseason, but :t was of no use. The playersare all banded together, and are not to befrightened by any such thing as a reserveclause, which the courts have pronouncedto be worthless.A prominent newspaper man of Boston

was offer-*! a handsome thing to go andsign the Boston players, but he refused.Capt. Nash only smiles when asked aboutthe new association. He says very littleabout it, but admits that there is some¬thing in the wind. A manager visitedPresident Soden and want>»d to put a secondclub In Boston to v ard off a possible rivalorganization, but the Boston president saidhe would not light any new club that way.

the runner to the half, which was made in5i> flat. Hounding the turn he kept up closeto the three-quarter pole, and shot underthe wire.The crowd eagerly strained forward and

silently awaited Starter Loper's announce-ment of the time. Some who had held awatch began cheering, knowing that theI horse had beaten the world's record. ThenLoper gave out the time and the spectatorsbroke out Into cheers and applauded thepacer as Andy McDowell brought mm upin front of the stand.Onoqua, the little Iowa trotter, went un¬

A PITIABLE OBJECT.

Police Officer lliiMney'a llnmlliatlonllcfore the Lexow Committee.

There was a thrllllngly dramatic scene

during a session of the I.exow investigatingcommittee at New Yoik the other day, inwhich Police officer Hussey played a

pitiable part.Klias Mantel had been telling the com¬

mittee how one Herman Block and MaxHochstlm hail tried to blackmail him out <>f$1110. with the help of Hussey and his sidepartner, Shnlvey, when It was found thathe had R little money in the bank. He waslocked up In the Essex Market pris >n andevery attempt to get him out on ball wasfrustrated by the petty despots who havethat police court by the throat. For fivedays he was kept there, and the bond-menthat his wife secured were driven off untilat last he got the ear of Norberth Pfeffer,the only one among the swarming Hebrewsof the east side who seemed able to facesuccessfully the cormorants of Essex Mar¬ket. Pfeffer took up the case and toldhim not to pay one cent of tribute to thecormorants.At this there was the most exciting scene

in court that the Lexow audience was evercalled upon to face.Hussey happened to sit alongside of

Norberth Pfeffer, a diminutive fellow, withhair III Mil III! straight up as if he saw aperpetual ghost. The sound of his nameinllanii-d the already convicted ex-wardmanbeyond all reason, and turning to him heshook his finger in his face, and cried:"You stinking of a loafer. I'llblow your brains out! I'll kill you! I'llshoot you down like a dog! You are re¬sponsible for all the trouble, you and IkeVandeleer."Auditors backed away from the infuriated

policeman, wlio sat there in bl» uniform,with the fury of a demon In nls face. Toomany persons had heard th? threats, whichbore the true Essex Market stamp, forhlin to esen|ie.Y'oung Mr. Joromo whispered the facts

to Mr. Goff, and v.fth a frown that wouldhave done credit to'Jove, the giant of theinvestigation sprftng to his feet and pre¬pared to stamp vi">n this most dastardlyattempt at intimidation.He called HusHeyi to the stand and de¬

manded by what' right lie, a police officerof the city, had <Tar£d to threaten a citizenin open court with tyillets and death.Hussey denied tlijtt he said it. "I only-

said he was not/ lit to live," whimperedthe cornered wolf. '1 didn't say anythingabout bullets or sfiooting. I only meantthat he was low. It's nil a political Job todo me. put up by <liim and Ike Vandeleer."Witness after witness was called to the

stand and swore mal they heard the threator portions of it.:The evidence rose mountain high, and

Hussey grew visibly'less before the eyes ofthe excited auditor^. When he was sum-mond to the stand again he had lost all

] of his bravado. The coward showed itselfIn halting walk and trembling limbs."I'm sick," he said, huskily to Mr. Gnff.

i "I am under a doctor's charge. 1 hadn'tought to be here."He did," indeed, look sick. He faintly

| asked for a drink, and choked down thewater as If lie was on the point of swoon¬ing. His head sunk between his shoulders.He was a pitiable object."Now, Hussey, what have you to say

foi yourself?" thundered Mr. Goff. He hailnot much of anything to say. If he saidwhat the witnesses said he did he musthave been crazy. No, he did not say It. Theyall toid falsehoods. And then, by way ofa grand climax, he burst Into tears and jsobbed: "If a man is true to his v. Ife it Is ienough "

And there he halted. Hussey was downed. !..« ?
