Up to that time not a run had | been made by elther team, although there were occasional situations when it seemed as If one of the competing nines was about to get a man over the home plate In the twenty-first inning Schmidt, the Plttsburgh catcher, began with & hit to left field. Cooper, who had taken the place of Mayer, was next to bat and forced Schmidt olit at second. { Fllam, the Pittsburgh shortstop, was thrown out at first base, and it did not look much as If the Pirates were to score in that inning. Cooper ran to second on the play, and when Tommy Leach batted & single to deep short, Cooper went on to third. Carey hit the ball safely and Cooper scored, and Billy Southworth, & player who after- ward was to become a Boston player and is one at this date, batted another single, and the fleet Carey got home Nehf pitched the full 21 innings for Boston, and it was his bad luck to in the final inning of the game because his own team was not able to score in its half of the twenty-first. Until the twenty-first inning the Pittshurghs had made only eight hits. In the twelfth inning, with Massey of Boston on third base, Smith, the Bos- ton third baseman, bunted fairly, Massey ran In from third, but was ordered back to the base by Um- pire Quigley, and Smith was called )ut by the umpire because of alleged interference. Nineteen Boston play- ets were left on the bases and not an error was made by a Boston player, yet the game got away from them. The Pittsburgh team did not look much like that of the present time. 1 Ellam played shortstop, Bigbee and Leach, left field; Carey, center field; Southworth, right field: Cutshaw, sec- ond base; Mollwitz, first base; Mc- Kechnie, third base; Schmidt, catch- er; Mayer, pitcher; Cooper, pitcher, and Hinchman, utility. For Boston, Herzog was at second base; Taggert, left fleld; Massey, cen- ter field; Wickland, right fleld; Smith, third base; Konetchy, first base; Henry and Wilson, catchers; Jimmy Smith, shortstop; Nehf, pitcher, and Miller, Johnson and Rawlings, utility. Strike-outs in the game were not very numerous, as Mayer had three, Cooper, three, and Nehf, eight. Los- ing this game was the forerunner of some other tough games that Nehf has lost In his time in the latter part of a contest, but none tougher than that which he lost to the New Yorw Yankees in 1923 McKechnie, who played third base for Pittsburgh in that game, now s the manager of the team, and is find- ing it as hard a task to win a cham- pionship as his predecessors, who have been shooting at the mark this long time.
