MARTIN TEAM fj AMERICAN LEAGUE In Opening Game of Series South Hills Populace Witnesses Great Ten-Inning Struggle, Pitt and Tech Coaches Will Have Men Out for Morning and Afternoon Work. First Game Is Easy, but Wad-dell Holds Donovan Even in Second. St. Lotus' Lead of Three Runs Is Overtaken by Sensational Rally-Camnitz Knocked Off Slab. VAGNER'S TRIPLE AND MILLER'S SINGLE WIN BATTLE IN NINTH The A.

J. Martins defeated Banksville yesterday in a 10-inning game by a score of 5 to 4. The Martins started out like winners, scoring three runs in the early innings, but the score was tied in the eighth by Orris' home-run drive with a man on base. The Martins won in the tenth inning on Lober's single and Reese's drive over the crowd for three bases. Features of the game were the batting of Orris and the fielding of Reese and Lober.

Score: In the seventh the Pirates put across two more. After Leach was out on a foul to clean-cut hitting. Wagner, Miller and Abstein were the lads who did the artillery work, and to this trio can be ascribed the victory. The Cardinals" rally In the third inning, which netted them three runs, was a pretty piece of sequential and hard hitting, but their collective hitting Began and ended in that round. When Leifield took the mound the home team was unable to hit when hits were needed, though numerous opportunities were afforded.

To Abstein goes the credit for tying up the game in the seventh, after tne Pirates had followed the pace. To Bobby Byrne goes the credit of saving it, ror his catch of Phelps' liner, and the consequent double play on Storke in the seventh was as sensational a bit of fielding as could be anticipated. Leifield, too. pulled the game out of the fire arter Camnitz had all but tossed it off. It could not have been a prettier struggle, from a spectator's standpoint.

Though hits were frequent, there wa enough uncertainty about the pitching to keep the interest at fever heat. In the seventh the Pirates asserted themselves and showed why they lead the National league, and also a gooa reason why they will likely stay there. They came up from behind, tied up the score, and then won it out in the ninth. Clarke seems bent cinching the pennant at the expense of the Cardinals, and from the exhibition the Cardinals intend to make him work to earn any credit from the series here. Maddox or Adams likely will work for the Pirates to-morrow, against Beebe or Raleigh.

Slim Sallee. who has been out of the game somewhat lately, was in uniform to-day, and should Beebe or Raleigh fail to deliver, it is not unlikely he will be sent in. fly, Clarke walked. Wagner got a nice single past third, Clarke going to second. Miller popped out.

Ab.stein then slugged a triple to deep left, scoring Clarke ana Wagner. In the ninth the winning run was counted after two men were out. Leach flied to Delehanty and Clarke fiied to Evans. Wagner placed himself in a position to score on a hit by getting a triple. Miller did the rest with a single to left.

Pittsburgh's victory was due to opportune hitting. Though the Pirates accorded their pitchers better support, from a fielding standpoint, the errors of the locals, of which there were three, did not figure in the run-getting. Save the first run, which Pittsburgh negotiated in the fourth inning, the scoring was due pTttsburghI ab.r.b.p. a. e.

East Liverpool's representative was missing, and the directors gave the Pottery City people until September 20 to post their guarantee. If it is not forthcoming by that time the franchise will be forfeited and the players revert to the league. It is likely, however, that the town will come to the front before the week is ended. A new constitution was adopted by the league, the rules being somewhat more stringent than last year The league this year will In all probability be an eight-club organization but just where the other team will be placed was not decided upon yesterday. Not only do several well-known business men of the Northside want to back a club, but applications from New Castle, Youngs-town and Butler were received.

The matter was laid on the table and will be taken up at the league next meeting, which is to take place on September 26. at which time a schedule will be adopted and the opening of the season decided upon. The six clubs that were represented yesterday posted their guarantee to finish the season. TENNIS TOURNEY WILL BE RESUMED TO-DAY.

The men will be drilled in everv department of the game ard team wok especially will be watched verv closely right from the start as Coach Thompson thinks tins is more than half the game.

The fight for the quarterback position will be a hard one, as Bufld initnds going after it strong, while I'lLsnsi n. the new lad, from Morgan Park Prep school, Chicago, is also out for the position and Coach Thompson does not feel much alarmed over th a end of the work.

The new students are dropping in. to be on hand for the entrance examinations which are to be given Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Old students, also, are returning to make up the low grades received last year. It is probable that a large number of these men will be out to-dav.

On Tuesday and Wednesday there will be practice from 4 to 6. after the examinations are over. Since the registration this fall is unusually large, it is probable that there will be a great deal of new material to draw from. The entrance examinations, however, will cut down the number entering, so that, at present. It is impossible to predict what materia the freshmen will furnish.

So far Coach Snitjer la much p'eased with the outlook and he hopes for a successful season. High School Squad Looks Good. With but a few days of preliminary football practice at Pittsburgh High school, prospects are brlghtining up for a strong eleven. The old men on the team have all shown improvement, and the new material looks premising. Lobert, brother of Cincinnati's baeeball star, has the proper we'ght and grit and is a probable fixture on the team.

Henderson. Miller, McCutcheon and Comensky are showing up well in the backfield.

LOUIS, Sept. 12. The Pirates took one step nearer the pennant to-day. when they -walloped the Cardinals In the opening game of the series, 4 to 3. They took victory from the grasp of the home team in the last inning on Wagner's triple to left, followed by Miller's single to the same spot, on which "Wagner scored.

St. Louis got an early lead and held it until the seventh inning, when Pittsburgh tied it up. Lush pitched for the locals and Camnitz and Leifield twirlea or Clarke's crew. Bobby Byrne, a former Cardinal, was given an ovation by his St. Louis friends when he came to the bat.

A large bouquet of roses was given the little inflelder. The Cardinals collected 12 hits from Camnitz and Leifield while the Pirates were getting eight off of Lush, but the visitors laced their eight where they would bring home the bacon. The 'Browns were at home to-day, engaged in mortal combat with Detroit, and tne patronage was divided pretty evenly between the two teams. Stealing bases was a dangerous undertaking, for Bresnahan, as well as Gib-eon, who backed up their respective pitchers, were alert as usual, and placed their throws in the right spot to spell disaster to more than one ambitious runner. The Cardinals got off well in the third.
