THE BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE OCTOBER 4,. 1903. KE FO SMO WN. TWO UNIQUE TEST. WE LOSE AGAIN TO THE PIRATES, Continued from the First Page.

United States Navy to Make One, PARKS MSN WASMTI Buchanan Reelected to the Presidency. such was the case. Several thousand were still outside the grounds grumbling over the ill luck or Inattention which prevented them getting there earlier, when the announcement was made that no- more tickets could be had. All the time a surf-like rising and falling noise came over the fence top to the lonesome ones in the street, and in the. open area near the ticket offices.

This was exasperating. There was something going on insidts of a lively nature. It was not balfc but all the same there was fun just over the fence The police were huskily busy with the overflow attendance and when the shouts and hilarity arose to a high pitch there was a determination formed outside to get inM The game was still more than half an hour away when the fence was assaulted all along Huntington av, and from beyond center and right fields outside, of course ana very soon there were more than a thousand additional spectators to make the police perspire and to curtail the playing space At 2:30 there was a rush made from the outer fields for vantage places in front of the grand stand. It was incipient at the outset, only a scattering few attempting to encroach, but the moment the police rushed out and essayed to shoo back the first lot the spirit of mischief got into more than 3000 noddles. They came home base-wards in dozens, scores, half hundreds and great masses.

The comfortably seated "fans" shouted encouragement jeered at the police, who were up Torpedo Boat Destroyers to bs Sent to Orient. and prediction about the two contestants on the field. These contestants were hemmed In by the crowd, and there was no chance of seeing the game won or lost on its merits. The crowd reminded some of the old-timers of the game that was played at the South End grounds in 1S76, when the big four returned from Chicago and when the immense crowd broke down the fence. The next generation likened the scene to the crowd which gathered at the brotherhood opening at the Con-gress-st grounds In 1830.

These were crowds poorly handled, and while, heretofore, manager Smart has done good work, yesterday the crowd was not. handled, but rather handled the people who wero supposed to handle it. It pressed on to the field and was allowed to remain fully 25 yards nearer the players than there was any necessity for, and which was just enough to turn the tide of battle in favor of the Pirates, and make the going all the more troublesome for "our own." Such Craft Never Before1 Sent Across Seas. Had 43 Votes to 40 for Donnelly. Five of Them Now Being Prepare! at Norfclk.

this time the crowd was being augmented by men and boys, who climbed the fence and either camped on top or dropped into the field. It is quite likely that considerably more than 1000 gained free admission in this way, and when the game was called it looked as if more than 20,000 spectators were present. The count in the ticket offices made the attendance 18,801, but there were many more inside than that, and if selling had not ceased when it did there would have been no room left to play the game. As alwavs with crowds, this one was unreasonable. The grounds are large, and there was space sufficient for a good game had the crowd been properly handled.

At 2:30. when the men came out for a limbering-up throw around, thousands had flocked from all fields and covered everything exeepting the pitcher's box and a small area around the homeplace. Not a ghost of a desire to see the game started was apparent. Everybody, aside from those seated, seemed Intent on having some fun with the policemen, whom they knew to be too few to accomplish anything in the way of clearing the field. Players were crowded out of practice room, and about 10 minutes before the time to take positions Delegates Cheered as He Left for East.

Wanted to Get Near Players. The attendance given out was nearly 19,000, but the chances arc that nearer 23,000 people were inside the grounds. Once in, they were anxious to get close to the players, and, finally, the game was started long before conditions were as favorable as they could have been made with a little more hustlo from the start on thj part of those in control. The event made It quite plain that a seating capacity of 8000 is hardly enough when, at least four times each season, more than double that number attend the games at this field. It looks like a case of more seating room or unsatisfactory ball games, and the unsatisfactory games are played just when the people have reason to expect something first-class, as they did yesterday after paying grand opera prices to get in.

Both Mr Killilea and Barney Drey-fuss were on hand, each eager to see his team win the third game, and the president of the Boston club would have been satisfied with a smaller crowd, which would have given his boys a chance to win. Going to Pittsburg means a great fight, but the Collins team Is made up of fighters and usually surprises everybody with its road work. The Pirates made no mistake in putting their trust in Phillippe, for he pitched a masterly game. He was well supported by Wagner, who certainly turned in a great day's work, and, with Collins, was the bright particular star of the occasion. Cy Young was in rare form, ana if he had started the game it would have been a two to one shot on Boston.

He Says That He Won On He Main Issue. WASHINGTON. Oct 3-The approach-ing trip of the little torpedo boat destroyers, the Decatur, Barry, Bain- i Cnaucey and Dale, to tha Ihll pptnes, W'U be watched with as much interest abroad as by naval officers. Never before have such vessels been sent on such a long cruise. On account of their light construction and small coal capacity it has been the policy of all nations to keep them close to port, so that they could run to harbor before a severe gale.

The idea of sending the flyers of the sea to the Philippines originated with the general board of the navy, of which Admiral Dewey is the head and it intended as a supreme test of their en-rturance and their seaworthiness in il kinds of weather. "ness in all No other nation has had the nerva or confidence to make such a test ami it probably will be the American navv which will prove that torpedo ooata have real value out of sight of shora and can be sent to foreign waters with powerrul squadrons. 1 The boats are now' beinf? overhauled ana put in shape at Norfolk for their long cruise. They will start as soon at they are in perfect order. They will go by the Suez canal, in order that they can coal frequently, and will be convoyed by the cruiser Baltimore.

The fact that Lieut Llovd H. Chandler, who will command the flotilla, is a son of a former secretary of the navy has led to the report that Sec Moody will be in personal command of the torpedo boats. This report has traveled around the world, and Mr Moodv has been kept busy denying the story to his friends who are writing him and advising him not to take the risk of such a trip. It is expected the flotilla will be ready-to sail by November. POSTSEmES GAMES.

The police thought it time to be a bit more drastic, and the fresh young men who led the rush had their clothes touzzled a bit and were made to see stars which no astronomer has yet mapped.

In checking this assault the seat holders In the first rows of the grandstand took part. They pushed at first, but when their pushes were replied to with blows they let out with right and left-handed bunches of fives. The police In the rear swatted several climbers on bent places which they exposed In climbing, and the way the victims grabbed themselves where hit, suggested the touch of a white hot brand. Broad targets were exposed during the brief interval between the beginning and end of that rush, and the police having no fears of fracturing a skull hit hard.

And all the time the tide of humanity was flowing. In some places it was steady and smooth, but in others there were s.gns of quick water and tide rips. This occurred where the over-anxious pushed and elbowed and fumed and grew red in the face and said things because they couldn't move faster.

The crowd was estimated by nearly every one in the press box from 22.000 to 26,000. And there was a great surprise when manager Smart sent down the announcement that there were about 200 shcri. of 19,000 present. The crowd certainly looked more than 2000 bigger than that of Thursday. No one found fault with "Cy" Young's work.

Except for his own fumble the Pirates would not have scored off hi in. and three scattered hits is a pretty good record. Before the game started Oeorge Lachance got a hard rap on the fingers of his bare hand while taking a fast Nearly 19,000 Paid for Admission-More Than 1000 Scaled the Fence Lively Scenes Inside. Yawning with greed for more "half-plunks," the cash drawers in the American league ticket booths were kept open yesterday until there were more spectators inside the inelosure than the seats and the usual standing room in the outer fields could accommodate, and just a few more than was good lor the peace of mind of the police. The Johnnies-on-the-spot were there man smashed away, but got the ball to the pitcher for an out at first.

The policemen were very busy pushing the crowd back in right field so that Parent's fine drive fell into Sebring's hands on the edge of the crowd, Collins scoring. Lachance drew a pass, only to see Ferris make a verv weak attempt at hitting a ball. air Young was now down to business and disposed of three Pirates in order. Collins getting in one more brilliant assist. Boston went out in order, Bransfield making a line one-hand stop of Dougherty's fast grounder close to first.

In the sixth Ritchey and Sebring did a double fan act, and Phelps went out to Stahl. With two out Freeman drew a pass, but Parent hit to the pitcher and was out at first. In the seventh three pirates quit at first, Collins, Parent and Ferris assisting. Boston went out in order, Ferris and Criger getting the ball to within a few feet of the crowd. With one out in the eighth, Wagner spanked a liner close to the right line into the crowd for two bases.

Brans -field pushed one into the front yard that Cy Young fumbled. Ritchey cracked one down that broke badly for Collins, Wagner scoring and Ritchey landing safely at first. Sebring filed out to Dougherty. Dougherty got in his second strikeout. Collins hit for two bases and scored on Stahl's single.

Freeman hit to Wagntr for a forceout. The visitors went out in order In the ninth and Boston did likewise, Ferris closing the same with a wild and picturesque strike out and the crowd pressed all over the field, taking pains to walk across the home plate. The score: rived. The keeper of the grounds fetched a 30-foot rubber hose from under the grand stand, and with this for a lineup, keep-in-touch conceit, the officers made mass plays against the spectators, pushing them as far back as it was possible to move. When there was a balking on the part of the people bats were used to tap them on the toes and swat them across the shins.

By hard work the field was finally pretty well cleared, and at 3:10 the first Pittsburg batsman faced Hughes. Out In the fields the crowd still Insisted on keeping near, and not much of a lift into the ether was required to carry a ball beyond the sprint of anyone of the three fielders. Luck was with the visitors, and all of their runs were handed to them by the crowd. Every ball sent by the Pittsburgs among the spectators would have been an easy out at any other time. "Pair for one as the other," a Pittsburg infiuencer.

which of course was true enough had the crowd been left in possession, but it was not. After Plttsburrr had got well started on the path to victory the crowd was pushed back a hundred feet or more. Very good, but as it happened, Boston was at bat when the police began butting the line, and several flies sent out by home batsmen, which, in early innings, would have lodged safely in the crowd for two bases, were cheerfully gathered in. And there was no let up to the coming in over the fence. Every few minutes there would be a disturbance' among the rooters and an opening in the fringe of humanity would be made to let in a new spectator.

There were double lines from the ticket windows as far as the ground entrances, and the very deuce was to cry time an impatient or hoggish individual tried to butt into an advanced place in Lire lines. It wis "Get behind here and take your chances with the lest; what's th' matter with yuh?" Some were in the "go 'way back and stand up" position, when the ticket sellers, hearing that there was nothing left but the home plate to play the game on. quit selling. It was no doubt like pulling teeth to do so when there was so much easy money in sight, but it had to be done. The management, who told them not to hand out any more had just a bit of humanity left, and probably did not desire to be classed as highwaymen or mentioned in lite same respiration with those who ho'ld late-homers up and take their wads.

No sane person would give mind to the thought that people checked from throwing their money away could feel raw and curse at their rescuers, but I throw from Ferris.

Once the game was vinderway thoughts of hectoring the police gave place to attention to the game. The first wild burst of applause was heard when Beaumont drove a sizzling grounder to Collins. That graceful pickerup and beautiful thrower-In of things that come his way showed how easy it was to cut short the career of a base runner before first is reached. The way he did it brought forth billows of "Ab's."

The score: Inniners 1 234RB7S9 KANSAS CITY. Oct 3-Frank Buchanan of Chicago won a final victory-over Samuel Parks and his following: this afternoon, when he was reelected president of the International association of bridge and structural ironworkers over Hugh F. Donnelly of Albany, 7. by a vote of 43 to 40. After the election and while Mr Parks and his delegates from New York were hurrying from the hall to caich their train for the east, the regular order of business was suspended while the convention unanimously passed a resolution pledging full support to local No.

2, the New York walking delegates' union, and he departed amid a storm of applause. Parks claims a majority of the executive board. The convention convened in this city two weeks ago and each day witnessed a bitter struggle for supremacy between the elements led by Pres Buchanan and Parks. Parks from the start asserted openly that he would fight to the end-for the defeat of the president for his option in suspending; local 2 for alleged Irregularities. He displayed a wonderful amount of personal magnetism in winning the delegates to his support, and throughout the gathering has dominated it upon many important questions.

Today, however, Pres Buchanan won the upper hand, when at the morning session he succeeded in getting the convention to adopt a motion to use the Australian system of balloting in electing all officers. It was frankly asserted by Buchanan adherents that many delegates who were favorable to Buchanan, and would vote for him on a secret ballot, feared to vote for him openly because of the fight that they asserted Samuel Parks and his followers would ultimately make upon him. This assertion Parks declared was ridiculous, and insisted that he wanted sis much as anj body did to see a clean, fair tight. Nevertheless, he admitted jast before the election that his candidate, Donnelly, would be defeated. Buchanan was elected on the first ballot, and when the result was announced he was cheered lustily.

Parks, sinking closer into his chair, heard the result without comment except to say: "1 lose." A personal encounter had been predicted if he should lose, but after the applause for the successful candidate had ended Parks and his followers made no move to raise a counter demonstration. Instead, Parks quietly counseled those about him to "hurry the rest through." Soon after the election J. T. Butler of Buffalo, who, though ill, had forced himself to attend the session that he might vote for Buchanan, was half carried from the hall, in a fainting condition. A physician said, however, that lie was not seriously ill.

The other officers elected were: William McCain of Kansas City, a Buchanan man. first vice president; John J. McNamara of Cleveland, a Parks candidate, second vice president; J. W. Johnson of New York sec treas.

The only real contest, aside from that on president, was for secretary-treasurer, the Buchanan faction nominating J. L. Milton of Pittsburg. Johnson, the present incumbent, is a Parks man. He was elected by a vote of 48 to 38.

The executive board was selected as follows: H. F. Burke of Philadelphia. J. Coakley of Pittsburg.

John Pollock of Newark and J. J. Barry of St Louis. After the election of the executive board the convention suspended business and adopted the following, many of the delegates mounting their chairs, cheering Parks and the New York delegation as they departed: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this convention that the full support of the International association of bridge and structural ironworkers be given to local 2 in their struggle against the employers in the city of New York, and that the president and executive board are hereby instructed to use their best efforts to this end." Mr Parks, before boarding the train tonight, gave out the following statement: "I am very well satisfied with the action of the convention. I came here to protect and defend the interests of local 2.

and to protest against the highhanded and autocratic actions of the president in suspending 2, and otherwise encouraging the enemies of said local. Every issue has been fought out on its merits and in every case my position has been sustained. "The convention by its action has approved of the stand we have taken in New York, and in a few instances have even gone further, namely, the stand on the agreement between the inside and the outside men and on the apprenticeship question. An instance of the favor in which local 2 stands in the international association is the first instruction to the coming administration in reference to New York. "We will go back and take up the fight where we left off.

with the full support of the international association and with the consciousness that we are right and we will win the greatest battle ever waged against organized monopoly and greed. In a general way I am satisfied, for I will control a majority of -1 Philadelphia A L.O 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 25 game, while the crowd helped Pittsburg to cut Boston out of a run. as a hit by Lachance that was held down to a double would have been a clean home run. With a clear field the final score would have been three to one in favor of Boston, thus showing that it was not a game where Boston was outplayed, although beaten. Some fine work was done by Beach, Ferris and Parent, but the superb fielding of Collins and Wagner put everything else in the shade.

Wagner made easv plays look hard, and hard plays look easy, while Collins with splendid judgment of distance made most of his great plays with ease. One play in particular was a beauty. Dougherty threw a bit wide of third to get Bransneld coming around, but Collins, with a remarkable reach, hooked the ball, and with the same swing tapped his man as he passed. Both Clarke and Bransneld wrinkled their faces and "called" the umpire, which was unreasonable, considering the fact that the Boston men have not questioned a decision by the umpire in any of the three games. In fact, the Boston men put very little life into their work on the coaching lines, while the reverse has been true of the Pirates.

Hughes was handicapped from the start, but even at that 'ie was not in the fine shape he was when he did his best work, and the club cannot depend upon him for a winner. He was allowed to remain in too long, as young Gibson was ready for work. Cy Young was himself and in like shape would have won his first game. Onlv one clean hit was made oft Young in the seven innings. Parent and Ferris had three chances between them to DUt Boston in the game with a hit, but it was not forthcoming.

Collins Scored Both Runs. Collins made Boston's two runs, assisted mostly by Chick Stahl, and while the home team can have no real claim to a game where they got in only four safe hits, the fact remains that it was hard luck to lose on account of the crowd for the four hits made by Boston sent in two legitimate runs, while the winners scored only one in the same manner. There is no game in which luck plays important, a part as in baseball. It seldom breaks even, but will follow one club for a while and then flirt with the next door neighboi, ready to change its abode at any moment. Ar.

even break is all that any club can look for, and all clubs look for this. The teams yesterday looked as evenly matched as two red hackles pecking corn, and in a general mixup it will be a clever man who can pick the winner. Both have fallen below their usual stick work averages, but the main reason is the pitching. The Pittsburg men were delighted at winning the second game after a shutout the day before, and now having tasted for the first time the worth of the Boston Americans have the greatest respect in the world for the boys under Collins' care. The Game in Detail.

Beaumont opened the game with a sharpdrive that Collins snapped up between bounds and drove to first like a shot ahead of the fastest man to first in the business. Fred Clarke tried the same man and again Collins played the ball on a short pickup while on the run and sent it to first. Parent tossed Leach's grounder to first and the crowd cheered. For Boston Dougherty drove a grounder close to second, but the great Wagner was after it like a cat, and trot it to first. Collins went out at first.

Then Sebring made a pretty running catch close to the crowd. In the second, Wagner and Bransfield were thrown out at first bv Ferris. Ritchey sent up a weak fly that Dougherty stood waiting for only to see it drop into the crowd a few yards away, allowing the batsman two bases. Sebring drew a pass. Phelps duplicated Ritchev's fly into the crowd, this time Chick "Stahl standing close by to seo the ball drop.

Ritchey scored. Phil-linpe was thrown out by Parent. Freeman and Parent were disposed of bv Wagner. Lachance drove the ball far over the crowd between centre and left a legitimate home run, but for the ground rules which held Mm at seeond. Ferris was thrown out at first.

Beaumont drew a pass in the third. Fred Clarke raised a weak fly, but it sailed out far enough to mix up in the crowd, and Clark was allowed two Beach singled to left, and Clarke scored, Dougherty holding Clarke at third bv sharp ground covering.
