MBIT Cincinnati: 14-500 16.429 38 “379 19 1S 22 [250 Yesterday’s game at Chicago was not a good one to look at, but as the Senators won, any old thing will do for us. Mercer Was sent to the slab for the Senators and pitched good ball, notwithstanding his mis- erable support, the players back of him having a@ total of nine errors, enough to lose any ordinary game. But yesterday's game was not ordinary, the hitting of the Washingtons being an agreeable surprise to the home enthusiasts, who had about come to the conciusion that as hitters they were in a class by themselves at the bottom of the list. Briggs did the twirling for the Chi- cagos, and, besides twirling very poorly, fielded his position like an amateur, failing in several cases to cover first, thereby al- lowing several additional runs to be made by this oversight. When game was called by Umpires Mc- Donald and O'Day fully 12,000 people had Passed through the turnstiles and were clamoring for the Chicagos to win like only a Sunday crowd can. Every player on the Washington side of the game got one or more hits, Cartwright getting three and Mercer and Brown doing likewise, one of Win's hits going down for a three-baser, bringing in two runs. The fielding of the Senators was a thing to deplore, the play- ers in the outfield being the only ones that kept from making a misplay. Luck was with the Senators in this game, as many of their errors went for naught and failed to offset the great hitting of the team. Almost the same account will answer for the Chicago side of the story. Every one of the colts secured a hit, but they played without life, and errors of judgment were more costly than real mispisys. Everett started in to play third, but he has been un- der the weather for some tfine,and Callahan tcok his place in the second inning. In the fifth Callahan also hurt himself in going to second on a fast play and had to retire, McCormick coming into the game in his place. . In the ninth inning a regular pugilistic encounter took piace between big Bill Lange and O*Brien. The former dashed down to second on a fast infield play, and as O’Brien caught the ball Lange grabbed the second baseman’s arms. This so en- raged O’Brien that he gave the big fellow one from the shotlder that tanded on the latter’s stomach, and he came back with one that grazed the second basemn’s head. During the melee thousands of spectators rushed on to the field from the bleachers, and things looked squally for the plucky little Senator.” DeMontreville and Umpire O'Day pulled the scrappers 2pa~t, and Un- cle Anson persuaded the crowd to get back into the seats, and the game proceie. and erded with Ryan striking out. Grant Briggs was put in lo pitch for the Chicagos, but for some reason wanted to quit, but Anson refused th!z permission, and fron: the third to the end of the game the Chicago pitcher did his work in a nalf- hearted manner. cuicago, tH.

The Cincinnati club, after defeating the Baltimores three straight, no doubt thought the Brooklyns would be easy picking yes- terday, and as a result the Bridegrooms walked away with the game to the tune of 6 to 4. The playing of both teams was of an exciting character, Shindle and An- derson excelling in senational fielding for the Brooklyns, while Burke did phenome- nal work for the home club. Tommy Cor- coran had two bad errors at short. About ,00U spectators witnessed the game. CINCINN ATT. | BROOKLYN. RHOAEB -H.0.A.E.

The Louisville club journeyed to St. Louis yesterday to get some of the “easy fruit” in tHat city and walked away from Tommy Dowd’s Brown Stockings by the score of 14 to 6. The St. Louis club failed to con- nect with Hill’s curves, making only six hits, while Hart was knocked out of the box by Jimmy Rogers’ men, who made fifteen hits, with a total of twenty bases, Captain Rogers getting in a nice home run. Six thousand spectators saw the fun. ST. LOUIS. LOUISV! . 0.45.

Gannett’s was good, whiic McKinney's batting. a three-bagger and a@ dcuble, netting four runs, was also a eature. This is the first that base ball has given any by the school boys, and the first that a series of games was arranged. As Project met with such great success, ani the pupils and friends of the schools ga hearty support, a yearly series of ‘ball games for the High School championship has become a settled thing. Following is the record of the teams: School. “Won Los ool. Won. Lost. Central 3 6 [Eastern ...0 3 Western ...2 1 |Business 911002 The Central team was the strongest in every respect, and consequently beat out the Eastern and Business with ease, but were given a hard fight for the honors by the Georgetown boys, who tied with them in the first game, which was played over Saturday. If White, the Central pitcher, who showed such phenomenal abilities as a@ twirler, had not been hurt in the first game with the Western, the Central boys would have won three straight games, as the heaviest batters of their opponents were unable to hit him. The Central boys were handy with the stick, fielded their po- sitions well, and played together, hence their excellent showing. The following is the line-up of the champions: Gannett, catcher; White, Durdin and Haas, pitchers; Tisdel (captain), first base; Burbank, sec- ond base; McKinney, third base; Shuster, short stop; Ourand, right field: Cockrell, left field, and Washington, center field. The Western boys, who came out second, several weak places in their nine, which cost them the championship. Buck, Tanner and Gordon divided the honors. The fielding and batting of the Business and Eastern nines was on a par, the su- perlority of the former team being that they were stronger behind the bat. The games were well played and well at- tended, and it is hoped that next year’s season will be as great a success. COLLEGE BASE BABL. Georgetown Defeated by Princeton for the Third Time. Georgetown took its third defeat at the hands of Princeton Saturday by 18 to 2. Clancy and Bach were batted at will by the Tigers. Both sides fielded loosely, al- though Georgetown displayed the worst judgment. Kafer’s batting was the feature; a home run, a triple and three: singles. Georgetown made but one hit. up to the ninth inning off Wilson and Jayne, but got three in that inning off Altman, The Western Maryland College was de- feated by Gallaudet Saturday, at Kendall Green, by 14 to 7, in @ very pretty and in- teresting game. The Gallaudets had a bat- ting streak in the seventh inning and made six runs, winning the game, which had been of the see-saw variety up to that point. Errors were numerous on both sides, Gallaudet making 8 and Maryland 9. Each team made ten hits. Villa Nova College shut out the Cathulic University at Villa Nova Saturday—6 to 0. The University of Pennsylvania took an- other downward step Saturday at the in- stigation of Harvard, the crimson legs winning by 6 to 2 through good field work and Paine’s masterly pitching. Pennsyl- vania made but three hits. He was also backed up in fina style, and at no time were the Quakers dangerous. Brown regained her old form Saturday and defeated the ‘erstwhile strong Lehigh team by a score of 15 to 3. Brown out- played Lehigh at every point and won easily. Cornell had an easy time with Michigan Saturday And won by a score of 14 to 2 Bole allowed the Michiganders but four hits. More Talk of Cleveland’s Sale. President Robison of the Cleveland base ball club has received a telegram from In- dianapolis, signed by Dickson and Talbot, the theatrical managers, asking whether the Cleveland club was -for sale, what the Price was, and whether there would be any obstacle to its transfer to Indi:napolis. The telegram said further that Dickson and Talbot had obtafied an option oo the,In- dianapolis club. Mr. Robison promptly‘ re- plied that the Cleveland club was for ale, and that there would not be any trouble in transferring it to Indianapolis. As to his price, he said he would communic:te with them later. Louisville-St. Louis Deal Rumored. While the Louisville officials will not cor- firm it, it is authoritatively stated that ne- gotlations have been pending for several days between the Louisville and St. Louis clubs. It is stated that Louisville has made an offer of McCreery and $1,000 for Dewd of the Browns. Should he be secured, ke will be assigned to the infield, while Staf- ford will cover right. Merion C. C.

The Senators moved on to St. Louis last night, and will open with the Browns this afternoon. McJames is about due to pitch, and Donohue should be on the slab for the Brown Stockings. Harry O'Hagan, the Washington boy, made four hits yesterday for the Newarks, one a double and a triple. He played right field without an error. It is not often a club wins a game after making ten errors, but the Senators did the trick yesterday, id the goddess of luck. was with them for iogce at least. Many people beliéve the Senators have been running bases recklessly of late, but it is a case where the:players are trying to work the hit-and-run game. The runner starts and _ perl tile ball is too wide to be hit or the batter misses the ball and the runner is thrown out. In describing the game the out is given for trying to steal, while in reality this play ts ordered from the base. To make: the hit-and-run game effective, the ba!l hs first to be hit.

Saturday Hawley shot one in at Delehan- ty which struck his bat and rolled out into fair ground. Hawley got the ball and shot it to first, but Hurst would not allow the play. A minute later Del sent the sphere into Tight field for three bases. According to the rales he was out in the first play.— Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Thursday’s game was one to bring the true crank to tears, not curses. The actual winning was, after all, not the material thing. Both Chicago and Washington played corner lot, bread-and-water-impris- onment-deserving ball, and in the end the lesser criminal won by a two-run lead, 16 to 14. No such game has been played in th National League this year.—Chicago Times. Up to date Walter Brodie, the former Oriole, and Jake Stenzel, the former Pirate, who changed places this season, are close together in their batting averages. Brodie has .302 and Stenzel .293. Everybody from Nick Young down to the boy who carries the water pail. knows how much superior Brodie is as a fielder. The figures show the new Dirate fourth among center fielders, with .969 per cent, and Stenzel thirteenth and last, with .$30.—New York Exchange. There is an air about the actions of the Baltimore players which seems to say as plainly as words that they think no other team has a right to win a game. There are several of the champions who are suffering from an aggravated attack of that disgusi- ing aiiment known as “swelled head. Their continued success has made them ar- rogant and dictatorial. Another knock- down today may bring them down to a place where they will be able to see some of the players on other teams. Not all the Baltimore players are suffering from this complaint. Only three or four of them.— Cincinnati Enquirer. SATURDAY’S LEAGUE GAMES. Washington Lost the Second Game at Chieago Through Inability to Hit. Capt. Anson’s Colts won the Saturday’s game from the Senators on account of the superb pitching of Clark Griffith, who held the visitors down to six hits, while the Ckicagos hammered Swaim to the tune of twelve hits, with a total of nineteen bases, winning by the score of 3 to 1. The sena- torial aggregation fielded without an error, which accounts for the small number of rurs made by the Colts in the face of their tremendous hitting. Several of the players of both sides made phenomenal plays, and altogether the contest was ex- tremely exciting and interesting. Other league games resulted as follows: Cincinnati, 12; Baltimore, 10. Boston, 11; St. Louis, 4. Cleveland, 4; New York, 3. New York, 11; Cleveland, Louisviile, 11; Brooklyn, 5. Pittsburg, 2; Philadelphia, 1. SPIKING OF ROBISON. How the Big Baltimore Catcher Was Hart at Cincinnati. In the first inning Saturday Catcher Rob- ison of the Baltimores was spiked at the home plate by McPhee, and his injuries are so serious that they are apt to ruin the great player for life. McPhee was on third base when Vaughn hit a short fly to left. Kelley's throw to the plate was true, but, by fast running, McPhee made the play close. As he neared the plate he slid feet first. Robison was biocking the plate, and Bid’s knee sank deep into the knee of Robison’s right leg. Robison ran toward the Baltimores’ bench. but before he reached there he fell to the ground, suffering agon- izing pain. A surgeon was called and Robi. son was carried off the field into the Reds club house, where his injuries were dressed. The cut in Robison's knee is fully four inches long, and almost lays the joint bones bare. Even & speedy cure will keep him cut of the game for two months at least. Without Robison the champions will be badiy crippled in the catching de- partment unless Jack Doyle is brought belind the bat. McPhee, too, was injured in sliding into Robison. The ankle of his right leg was badly swollen after the game, from which he was forced to retire in the seventh inning, Holliday taking his place.—Cincinnati_ Exchange. WASHINGTON GOLFERS BEATEN. George Dunn Makes the Links at Phil The Washington Golf Club team, consist- ing of George Hellen, Henry May, J. W. Lockett, George Dunn, J. W. Albaugh, jr., Hecrace Wylie, N. L. Simpkins and J. F. Leach, went to Philadelphia Saturday to play a return team match with the cracks of the Philadelphia Country Club. The Washington players were badly beaten, but Mr. George Dunn made a new record for the amateur medal play over the course, secrirg 81. as against the best score for- merly made of 84 by W. M. McCawley. Gillin, the Philadelphia club's profession- al, reduced the professional nine-hole rec- ord from 38 to 36; Barber, the professional of this city, gcing around in 38. The scores in the team match, which was won by Philadelphia, with a total of 46 up, were as follows: G. D. Fowle, P. C. C., beat G. Hellen, W. G. C., 8 ul a C C., beat H. Hay, W. G.

Sunday Racex at Velodrome Attract a Large Crowd—The Results. SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.—The Sunday bicycle races at the Velodrome attracted a large crowd. The event of the day was a match between Otto Ziegler of San Jose and Allan Jones of this city. The match was run off in three races—a half, mile and two miles, the winner of two races to win the match. The half mile was won by Ziegler in 1.06 4-5. The mile and two-mile races were won by Jones, in 2.22 3-5 and 4.40 2-5, respectively. The races were ced. Pthe half-mile professional handicap was won by Bert Elford, 60 yards; McCrea, 20 yards, secend; A. Davis, 15 yards, third. Time, 1.04 3-5. The half-mile open, amateur, was won by J. Ewing of San Jose; P. A. Deacon of Oaklend, second; Maurice Cook, Los An- geles, third. Time, 1.05 1-5. The two-thirds of a mile, professional, was another victory for Jones, who out- stripped a field of six. Davis of San Jose took second place from McCrea of Los An- geles, by a foot. Time, OPENING THE RACING SEASON. Some Close Finishes Witnessed Athletic Park. The opening race meet of the local sea- son at the International Athletic Park Sat- urday afternoon witnessed some good races. The weather was excellent both for the racers and spectators, but the track was somewhat rough and a trifie slow. While the time in most of the races was comparatively slow, this defect was more than remedied by the exceedingly close finishes in both the amateur and profes- sional events. The spectators did not rum- ber much over 500, yet those present heartil; joyed the sport. > In iesteamarbor races there was the day rho only the pe “Charlotte. N..C., reached ftime.to enter, though he open. He was stills a.fall_ received down t George Ball shot ahead, and by a sprint gained several lengths. The whole bunch moved lively, and in a short time there were many changes in the positions. On the home stretch the race was very pretiy, Church winning by a good distance, Sims following, with Titus and Oldfield in the order named. The two-mile handicap, amateur, proved to be a pretty race, and the fastest of the day. Billie Sims was scratch man, with Wilson ten yards in front of him. Sims caught the bunch, the leaders having 250 yards handicap, by the end of the first miie. He was beaten out on the sprint by Wilson. The finish was very close, and a blanket could have covered Wilson, Sims and Dannemiller, the winners.~ The final in the one-mile open, amateur, which wes run in two heats, had to be run over again. A time limit of 2.30 was placed on the race, and when first run Wilson fin ished first, with Sims second and third. The time was a very few seconas below three minutes, and the referee de- clared it no race. On the second run of the same race Throop was placed as pace- maker, the other contestants agreeing to give him third place for so doing, even if he did not win. Wilson won again, with Sims about six inches behind, and Duvail third. The summary: First race, one mile, novice—Harry Far- rington won; LeRoy D. Lewis, second; D. P. O'Connor, third; Fred. C.

Down back of the judge: stand Arthur and his father held an im- Promptu reception. He was found thcre and was asked the direct questio: wil you return to the track this year?” Zim- merman, sr., made reply: “Arthur nas been training. He rode a mile the other day un- der the 2-minute mark, and is in condi- tion right now to ride any of these men.” “Not so fast,” replied Arthur. “I will re- turn to the racing path, but to ride exhibi- tions only for a while, at least. I cannot speak for the future. All depends upon what condition I reach with good training. I go into regular training Monday, and shall probably join the circuit chasers on the New York state circuit. I have several good offers now for exhibitions, and shall accept them.” That settles the question. Athletics.
