Louisville 33 214 For one inning it looked as if the base ball contest between the Washington and St. Louts clubs-yesterday was going to be & close and interesting one. Then the Senatorial batsmen began to work—put their shoulders up “aggen it’—and the only bit of interest remaining was whether the visitors would score. After they had scored all that remained was to guy the strangers. The spectators on the 2d-base line seemed to be on unfriendly terms with Monte Cross, the lithe-limbed shortstop of the Rrowns, and employed every opportunity to make known their feelings. After Cross had made a particularly bad throw to Grady one disgusted fan yelled out, “Ah, yuh cuddent throw watermelons into a wagon!” : It was a very rare sensation sitting back comfortably, sure of a victory, and free to guy the opposition. We have not had the experience since last year at this time, when, unger Scrappy Bill, the Senators were besting all comers. The attendance was larger than on Wednesday—not a gre: deal larger. The adies"? were all ther: the “‘cccasionals” will come out in number as soon as they are convinced that the in- jection of elixir into the team will have a permanent effect. Every one present seemed pleased with the new life shown by the local men. Of course it is much easier to play a lively game when the team is hitting the ball, yet even with weak hit- ting there is no reason why the boys should not continue to “jolly”? one another in the ficld, and stick to it until something drops. Apparently there is harmony in the team and a lack of that constraint that was for- meriy noticeable. Every man seems bent on success, which goes a great way toward winning. Tom Brown's idea that it is better to hit the ball hard in the opening innings than to sacrifice has been justified in the past two games. The home team began hitting in the second inning yesterday and kept it up until Pitcher Kissinger was driven out of the box and Hart substituted. The visitors hit Silver King’s delivery hard at times, as cight put-outs by the Gutfield indicate. Each of the three local outfielders made a star catch, one by Ab- bey, who took the ball at his ankles while There is no fault to be found with the playing of the locals in the past two games. Even defeat would be not unpleasant if companied by such an exhibition. Every local viayer but Selbach and O’Brien hit safely, Tucker leading with three, of which two were doubles. Abbey also had a brace of zweisockers. Douglass, the clever St. Louis outfielder, who has tried about every position but pitcher, went behind the bat and was knocked out by a foul tip and retired, Morgan Murphy taking his place. The new life of the Browns was not vis- ible to the ordinary observer not provided with binoculars. With Tuck Turner, Hall man and Murphy cut the team looks ve seamy. The Torontos should beat it two out of three. It’s about the weakest ag- gregation the mound city has sent here in some years, and that’s saying a good deal. : ST. Lot enroeonmimeond is O'Brien, 2b.

MeJames and Esper will probably pitch for their respective clubs. Today being “Ladies’ day,” a large crowd will probably turn out. Ed. Cartwright hes signed with the Min- neapolis club of the Western League. He is glad to get back in harness again and will doubtless give a good account of him- self in the new location. Jack Gilroy, the Washington ball player who is in the ‘hospital at Norfolk, is re- perted as doing very well this morning aad the chances of recovery are very big. His micther went to see him yesterday after- noon. “Chippy” McGarr has been released by the Clevelands, and another good third baseman is out of a job on account of not being able to bat up to the .300 mark. Mc- Garr will probably become a New England League magnate. ‘That throw of Selbach’s yesterday was a beauty bright and went clean a whi: into MeGuire’s hands. Tuck Turner ey dently did not know the player who is play- ing left for Washington. Reilly, Abbey and Brown, to say nothing of little DeMont, were much in evidence .

Henry Gruber, who pitched for the! Springfield and Buffalo clubs last year, has ‘been appointed to fill the vacancy. $s Anson: “The Orioles struck their top speed last season, and I never in my life heard of a Tackier team than this ag- sregation of Hanlon's. While I'm not one of the luck or chanece-blow philosophers, sull I must say»that the Oriol have met with less hard luck, that is, physical in- juries, than any team-that ever won the pennant McGraw’s absence is materially felt by his brother artists. He was the life of the infield. This season he has fallen off in his hitting, and his arm has given him no end of trouble, > John B. Day's latest circular to the pro- fession plainly indicates that he has not seen any game outside of New York. Among other things he says: “I wish pub- resigned as umpire licly to commend the players of the league for the admirable control they have dis- played on the ball field this season over their personal Graw, Tebeai “He's kidding. The management of the Pittsburg club is on the lookout for a third baseman. Jim Donnelly, secured from Baltimore, has proved to be a gold brick. On Sunday morning Donnelly told Walter Brodie that he was going to spend Sunday at his home in New Haven, Conn He did not have per- mission to go. Motday Manager Donovan received a telegram that Donnelly would report at Boston at 3:30 p.m. Donnelly did not show up yesterday, nor did he report today. When Donnelly was with the Bal- timores last year he was lost for ten days. One day he reported, and as yet Hanion dees not know where he was sojourning. A strict watch was kept on Donnelly ull this trip by the Pittsburg management. Donneliy was batting under .200, and had been of little use to the club lately.—lox- change. Donnelly has ice reported. “Stub” Brown amused the boys by telling: some funny stories about the champions. He says they are nearly all “society men,” Doyle, Quinn and Robinson being about the only exceptions. “Do you know,” said Brown, “that Kelley, Keeler, Jennings and Clark part their hair between each inning? This is a fact, and those who are not in with this combination are called bums. 1 was happy when I learned that I had a chance to get away from that gang. If I had not been so anxious to get away 1 should have held out for part of the pur- chase money paid by Cincinnati. Early in the season,” continued Brown, “Hanlon of- fered to release me provided I would pay him $150. He tried to work this little game on all the men he really did not want. But McMahon was the only one to accept the Proposition.” —Cincinnati Enquirer. BOB BARR PITCHES AGAIN. feeling: To which Mc- Lange, Joyce, et al., say, His Right Wing Had Plenty of Speed.

I'se courting Mary.” “It’s a lie!” exclaimed the old gentieman. “What do you want a lantern for?

The noisiest firecracker y on ap- preved by the New York board of fire com- joners. It is warranted to make more noise than the Chinese kind, and to burn | no awnings.

In com- memoration of this quaint custom the members of the Germantown Cricket Club held at their grounds, Manheim, German- town, a “Feast of Roses” this week. + e+ It matters little what it is that you want whether a situation or a eTvant—e “want” ad. in The Star will reach the i person who can fill your need. morrow—Saturday. one suit to any one boy. 1 lot of Boys’ Navy Blue and Black Cheviot Reefer if and percale; fast colors; = plain: and fancy.
