Manager Harry Diddlebock has been tem- porarily superseded as manager of the St. Louis Browns by Arlie Latham. Von der Ahe took this action yesterday afternoon. Diddlebock is in bed at his home, suffer- ing from three bad cuts and contusions, one between the eyes, one across the bridge of the nose and a third on the lower lip. He says a gang made a vicious assault upon him on the street at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning. The assault, he says, was in pur- suance of the avowed policy of a clique which has expressed its intention of run- ning him out of St. Louis. The policemen who took him home said that Diddlebock was not intoxicated. The board of directors will consider the case and it ts probable that Diddlebock will be released. There have been two factions in the club since the season opened, and it 1s charged that Latham has been pulling the wires to get Diddlebock’s place, while Diddlebock, who benched Latham and put Myers on third, has tried to get Von der Ahe to re- lease Latham. LEFT THE TOURNEY. One of Clabs. No more matches have been played in the inter-club whist tourney. Owing to a misunderstanding among the members of the Le Droit Park Club, that club has withdrawn from the contest. Consequent- ly, the Capital Bicycle Club won first place with four victories and no defeats. The Mt. Pleasants are second with two vic- ‘tories and one defeat. They have not play- ed the Washington Club yet, but were on hand on the scheduled evening. The Wash- ington team was unable to play on that evening, and could not get word to the Mt. Pleasants In time. No new date has been set for the match. The Capitol Hill and I Street clubs also have a postponed match, which will probably be played the coming week. There is prospect of an early match be- tween the Capitol Hill and Mt. Pleasant clubs. These clubs are nearly evenly matched, and it will take more than one contest to decide the question of supzrior- ity.

FLAY WELL EVEN WHEN THEY LOSE Secret of the Harmony Among the Senators. gee MR. WAGNER’S TREATMENT “These be happy days” for the enthu- siastic followers of the national game in Washington. There are a few who are still cutside the breastworks, and cannot con- vince themselves that Washington has at last a winning team, but the enthusiastic germs are in the blood, and will crop out before the season is a month older. What pleased the sincere admirers of the Sena- ters almost as much as the victories at Baltimore, Brooklyn and Cleveland, was the error column on the days when defeats came their way. In past seasons, in the face of continuous hitting by the opposition club, the Senators would go to pieces as regular as the time ball would slide down the pole every day at noon. This season it is different; the club that wins has to play ball from start to finish. Think of a Wash- ington club playing a game Saturday with- out an error; Monday, in the face of terrific hitting, having only two errors,and Tuesday playing another game with but one error. The absence of the usual] panicky feeling is noticeable, and to this alone are the vic- teries of the Senators due. Confidence in- sures good batting, and while the team is not lacing the ball up around the .350 mark, they are doing some timely batting and sacrificing like experts. As to high expectations of the club, local enthusiasts have as much right to be hope- ful as the followers of Baltimore club in 184. The Orioles that year were no bet- ter off thas’ the Senators this year as to reputations. They had McMahon and Robinson and Brouthers, but outside of those three no player was particu- larly well thought of. to do his great work, Keeler and Reitz, As an offset to the men, the Senators have Mercer and Mc Guire as a star battery, and In De Montre- ville, Selbach and Rogers players that so tar have proven as good as the be: Capt.

Me- Mahon undoubtedly wen the championship for the Orioles in ‘#4 by his masterly pitching, and did exceedingly well last Season, yet he was terribly abused by a “rooter” in Baltimore last week simply because the visiting curv team was hitting his To say that Mac was wrothy but ly describes his fe2lings, and but for Robinson he would have gone into the stand after his traducer. Down in Louisville last Sunday one of the six hun- dred rooters that accompanied the Cincin- nati team lost his head over several ad- verse decis Umpire Emsile. It w in the seventh inning that the climax was reached. The roster in question w: and- ing In one of the open spaces under the grand stand. Leaning over the railing he called to Catcher Vaughn to come to him. As Vaughn approached he pulled out a great wad of bills, and peeling off the out- side wrapper, he said: “I'll give you $100 if you will go over and hit Emsiie in the ‘kisser’ with your Vaughn smiled, but was in earnest, said: ‘No, nix. I wouldn't do anything like that. It weuld cost me $500 to get out, and might put me out of the business forever.” It is safe to say that this same rooter would have taken an introduction and shock Emslie’s hand cordially after the game, as the Cincinnatis won, but in the heat of passion to murder the umpire would have been a mild crime. eeing the “roote: While bouquets are being d'stributed over the excellent showing made by the Sena- tors, Vice President ard Treasurer Earl Wagner should not be forgotten, and for a service little thought of by the average base ball enthusiast. It was only through the persistency of Mr. Wagner that Joyce was retained on the team, and through his foresight that Center Fielder Brown was secured. Manager Schmelz is a well-known enthusiast on young bleod, and equally ad- verse to,old players, and had Schmelz been allowed to “rule the roost,” it is safe to say neither of these players would now be on the senatorial pay roll. No one claims that Joyce and Brown are ideal players, but Wagner recognized the fact that these two old heads were needed to steady the youngsters—Brown the outfield and Joyce insile the diamond—and the game put up this season by the Senators completely sub- stantiates the vice president’s good judg- ment. Then, again, Mr. Wagner's treat- ment of the players last fall, when he se- cured their names to contracts for this sea- son, demonstrated that he understands base ball players. Mr. Wegner asked every man on the team what he thought his sai- ary ought to be this seascn, and no matter how high the figures wert, he quickly agreed. In one or two cases, where a play- er underestimated his worth, Mr. Wagner generously added a good round sum to the salary asked. Take the case of McGuire. He had been receiving $1,400 as a regular salary and $500 additional for catching every game. This season Mac will receive his $1,000 and only work half as hard, or catch every other game. Each one of the senatorial outfit is trying to demonstrate to Mr. Wagner that they appreciate kind- ness of this kind, and games are coming ous way, more frequently than for seasons past. Capt. Tebeau is one of the best-versed players in the league when it comes down to the rules of play, says the Cincinnati Inquirer, and although Umpire Emslie was hissed for reversing that decision on Ew- ing’s fly in the first inning, Capt. Tebeau's point was well taken, and the umpire sim- ply followed the book of rules. The incl- dent proved conclusively that the rules of play are not perfect, and can stand revision without doing any injury to the game. Here js the play, and it’s a nice one for an umpire to fully understand. Holliday was on third, two men were out, when Ewing drove a sky scraper into the diamond just over the base line in right field. Either Cuppy, Tebeau or O’Conror could have taken {t. They grouped themselves under the ball like the statue of “The Three Graces," and the ball dropped between them. The reverse twist on the ball was so great that it threw it back so that it rolled on foul ground between the home plate and first base. Holliday went home and Ewing slid safely into second on a poor throw by O’Connor, who had recoy- ered the ball. All the onlookers were squeezing themselves over the safe out- come of the fluke hit, when Tebeau got in | scorer his fine work. He rus}iéd up to Emslle and claimed the ball was foul, but the umpire said nay. Then the Cleveland captain pull- ed the rules on Emslie, and turned the pages until he struck rule 39, which reads: “A foul hit is a ball that bounds or rolls outside the foul lines between home and rst base or home ang third base without interference by a plafer.” As none of the trio of Spiders had iitterfered with the fly it was clearly foul, dithough. under the tule killed two years ago the hit would have been rated fair. In the olden days flles that penetrated ten feet in the air and then dropred on fair ground were recorded as safe hits. ‘The new rule came into fash- ion when the “bunt” hit became popular, and was adopted so ag to kill off discus- sion. IS Some fault was found.with Captain Joyce Wednesday evening by local enthusiasts who want the Senators to win all the time, over the fact that Anderson was pitched at Cleveland, or that he was not taken ont of the box after the first inning. This criticism does the captain an injustice. Anderson 1s paid to pitch, and the third Cleveland gamo was the one in which to try him. The Sena~ tors could hardly expect to capture ‘two games at the Spiders’ home, and even one ts entirely satisfactory. That Anderson was not taken out of the box is justified in the parallel case of the great Nichols at Cincin- nati last Monday. The latter was hit for six runs in the first inning, and was kept in to be laced all over the field for the remainder of the game. No kick was coming over Nichols’ work, because he is a great pitcher; therefore, Anderson's work should be criti- cised leniently, as he is bound to do good work for the Senators when good hot Weather comes. With the pitching corps all tried out and in good shape, the Senators can be depended upon to hold their own in any company. But, remember, they are away from home, and that the strong Pitts- burgs have lost three straight on their own grounds, The Harry Wright,.Fund.

On every side is heard re- marks to the effect that the Giants are where they belong and where they will Stay until different tactics are adopted by the management. The Rusie case doesn’t cut any figure; the treatment of Fred. Pfeffer is what tells. There’s a player that is not good enough for the club, yet he is kept out of the game simply because Free man has an idea some other manager may want him. His idea is right, but his action tremely selfish, per had heart trouble when with the purgs. He gave it to some Pirates Wednesday. The Bostons are traveling with thirteen players. And still they have won several games Since leaving home. Killen repeated an old trick he had when with the Senators—that of throwing bunt hits over the grand stand.—Exchange. Jones leads the Breoklyns with the stick. He has been at the bat once, and made a single. Hardie Henderson is sald to be second only to Weidman as a poor umpire. These new men do get it at the start-off. Dr. Pond is zn allopath. He is a genteel- looking youth, with long hair. He smokes a pipe, and has the bicycle walk, but for all that, he can pitch. If there are many better outfielders in the league than Selbach of the Washingtons they have not been discovered so far.— Pittsburg Exchange. When it comes to speed even Hawley must take a back seat to Pond.—Cincinnatt paper. No, not speed. Pond has an ex- cellent curve ball. And now they say Connie Mack hires small boys to throw rocks at visiting play- ers when the game gets close. This is a new one and not half bad, elther.—Chicago News. In the second inning Wednesday’s game Lyons hit to Donnelly at third. ‘The ball struck the fielder’s hands and bounded into those of Jennings. Donnelly was scored an assist. . Sullivan is not_half filling Hamilton's place, neither is Nash playing as good a. game at third base as Cross did. That trade of Hamilton for Nash was a good thing —for Boston.—Philadelphia Ledger. How's that for a “Knock,” and the Phillies are leading the procession. Beckley, who plays first for the Pirates, ought to be watched at ail times. He is proficient in all the dirty tricks of the busi- ness, and he is not backward about using them. Notwithstanding, he plays a good first base and is a he@vy batter.—Louisville Commercial. x Capt. Nash did theproper thing when he put Sullivan down in the batting order, but he did not improve matters in putting him- self in Sullivan’s plate, for he is even a poorer batsman afd a more impatient waiter than the man‘ whom he displaced. A Cleveland paper, insists that Frank Robison is meddling{ With the management of the Spiders. It says: “If President Robi- son undertakes to iin the Cleveland club and place the playéfs, the team will, like that which is presided over by Andy Freed- man, stand an excellent chance of finish- ing in tenth or twelfth place.” If some prophet coljld have three weeks ago swept aside the Weil of the future and could have shown} the fans what the Colonels were comih® to, insanity would have been very largely on the increase. To think that the Reds should have snowed them under in their own town and then come to Louisville and administer the same dose in a modified form.—Louisville Paper. A funny incident happened in the ninth at St. Louis Monday. After two of the Quakers, had been retired Delehanty sin- gled to center. Thompson followed with a hit to Connor, and the latter, in attempt- ing to get it, tripped over the bag and lost the ball. The ball was just on the infield, behind the bag, and before Breitenstein or Quinn could reach it, Thompson was safe at_first. President Kerr of Pittsburg says: “I will never again attempt to stop the ‘ladies’ day,’ or if I do I will go to Europe and leave some one else to fight it out with them. My life has been a burden. I never knew there were SO many women in the world. ‘The women have had the free ladies’ days for years, and they want them. When women once have a thing they want, a wise man will be very careful about try- ing to take it away from them. I know what it means.” PITTS... BOSTON CHIC. CLEVA, CIN.

He was talking a few nights ago about his great luck in finding Lush, De Montreville, Rog ers and McCauley. Said he: “If a bas ball magnate gets one good pl eight or ten experiments he cor is be found Mr. t lads to y tell me that in the league. Freedman says he Watched the werk of Rogers and McCaule: for two weeks, and reached the conclusion that they were not fast enough for league ‘ow, da little experience tower with those two young ti their work for three going Mr. Freedman one week bet- 1 went up to their stan ng ground the. field, ard I came to the conclusion that they were fast cnough for me. I thought so well of them that I went out to ‘Uncle Nick's’ castle the night before their con- tracts with the minor league expired, and as soon as the clock struck twelve I pat in claim for them the moment they were ible. That shows what I thought of them.” It is not probable that Jack Crooks will get into the game with the Senators while Rogers continues to play such good ball. Jack says he is loyal to the Washingtons, and he has no desire to break up the com- bination while it is in winning form. He so informed Eari Wagner. In the mean- time Jack will sit on the bench, jolly his comrades along, and draw his salary until some accident happens to one of the in- fielders, then he will resume business at the old stand. Mr. Wagner appreciated the suggestion, as it originated with Jack, consequently there is no hard feeling on the subject. AT LEAGUE HEADQUARTERS. ter. and quietly observed their actions on President Young Receives Few Pro- tests About Umpires. President Young is having less trouble over his umpires this year than ever be- fore. “Only two kicks have come to me thus far this season,” said he, “while for a similar period last year I received sev- eral hundred protests. I am determined that I shall not make any changes in my assignments or in the membership of the staff of umpires during the present. sea: son except in cases of illness or inefficiency. The newspapers, with few exceptions, have been exceedingly just in dealing with the umpires, and so long as that condition of affairs exist, I do not look for any trou- ble. Some of the papers are disposed to criticise certain umpires, and charge them with being home umpires. That is unfor- tunete, for it prejudices the patrons of the game against those umpires. Mr. Young says there is no further agi- tation among the minor leagues about the injustice of the National League, and the Western League has paid its assessment and all goes well not tanding the so- called revolution that was threatened be- fore the season opened. He says the Na- tional League clubs are giving no trouble this season, and most of his official corre- spondence is with the representatives of the minor leagues. He regcets that young and promising players in the minor organi- zations continue to violate their contracts and sign two or three different contracts for one season. The indications are that several of thes? youthful offenders will be disciplined before long if they do not mend their ways. There are no developments in the Rusie case, as neither side seems disposed to press the matter to a final consideraticn. Under the rules of the league the loser is required to defray the expenses attending the trial before the board of directors. Mr. Freedman does not appear auxious to press the case, and Rusiv would not pay the costs if th2 matter is decided against him, and thus the matter stands. Winsome.
