"Covering" a Baseball Game. The accepted
methods of reporting baseball games and other athletic
contests, and the form in which stories of them are
written, are very similar to those described above for
football. The example given below shows the application
of the general principles to baseball:
New York, May 6.—New York took
second place from Philadelphia in a
3 to 2 game today notwithstanding
that the Quakers hit Mathewson two
and a quarter times as hard as the
Giants hit Foxen.
Of their four hits New York grouped three in one inning, the sixth, in which they made their three runs; while Philadelphia got three of their nine hits in the eighth with but two runs. There was a shade of difference in the consecutiveness of the bunched hits, and that was where Mathewson was more effective than Foxen. A comparison of the work of the two pitchers, however, from the point of view of adverse runs, shows that there was an error by "Matty" which accounted for one Quaker tally, a wild throw in running down Bates, who soon afterwards scored.
The game was sharply played with a good deal of snappy fielding. Devlin and Knabe were fine on ground balls, each ranging swiftly to the left and gathering up everything within the limit. Doyle in the fifth made a star pickup of a hard ball to his right.
