LOOKING FOR MEN Base Ball Manager and Policemen Both Unsuecessful. GOOD MEN WOULD HAVE WON SATURDAY Some Plain Talk About the Wash- ington Team. pa ee GENERAL SPORTING MATTER The Senators lost to the Bostons Satur- day when they ought to have won. The chances are that nine other clubs in the league would have landed a victery with- out half trying. With the lead that the Senators had at the beginning of the game any first class or even second class league team ought to have won handily. The enly conciusion that can be drawn from Saturday's game and a number that pre- ceded it is that the Washington team Jacks sand—in fact, that it is outelassed by almost every league team. History Repeating Itself. The home team recently returned. from a disastrous western trip, and as a conse- quence the crowds that go to see the games at National Park are not half as large as they would be if some changes, which were promised, had taken place. It has been poiated cut several times in The Star that Washington base ball erowds are so loyal to the home team that they will stick to it as iong as there is any real effort on the part of the players to play ball, coupled with real efforis on the part of the man- agement to secure ball players to fill weak places when they are apparent. Just after the return of the Senators from their previous western tour, when they lost eleven out of sixteen games, The Star of June % contained an article on the situation in which was the following para- graph: “Washington is a loyal base ball city— there is none more so. Good crowds wiil 0 to see the games day after day, win or Icze, so long as the team is as good as can be obtained and is playing ball with snap and life, but there is a limit to all things. ‘There is no desire to dictate to the Ws ington management as to what men to get and how to piace them, or to indulge in in- dividual criticism, which has the effect of But Mr. Wag- been out of town for several and he may not realize how the homes regard this matter. They ve that Mr. Wagner knows that same- thing ought to be done, and therefore they expect him to do thai something, and not to postpone the doing of it.” A Good Beginning. Mr. Wagner frankiy acknowledged the truth of the above criticism, and prom- ised to leave nothing undone to strength- en the team. That was just two months ago. Mr. Wagner did make an ex- nt beginning. He secured Tommy icker to play first base, thereby plugging up an awfully big hele in the team. But there were other cracks which were liable to open wide enough to let many a victory slip throug! 1 Mr. Wagner knew just where Mr. Wagner has good base There is no doubt about that. Aud, therefore, the surprising hing about this whole business is that he asn't exercised it. Ever since June 3 he has been looking for good men. ‘The Washington policemen are still looking for euly Miscouraging the men. ner has weeks, Dorsey Feultz, Yim Hurley and Pat Carr. A good many people think that the reason beth were unsuccessful is the same. Why Didn't Yout “Long before the seaSon opened: It was officially announced that the team wouid start in as it finished last season, with the exception of Heilly at third, but that just us soon as it was shown that there was a weak spot it would be filled. There would he no more waiting until the season was half over to attempt at least to strengthen the team. As it was known that the Wag- ners had a string tied to the Toronte club, it was believed that one at least of Arthur Irwin's colts would be brought to Wash- ington in ise of need.” The above paragraph also appeared in ‘The Star of June 3 1807. Tt is just about icable now as it was then. Not a save Tucker's, nas been secn in ington uniform since. It is said that it has been impossible to effect trades with other league clubs. Just the same, other league managers have secured new men. It was only the other day that Serappy Joyce secured twe new men for ants. These men may not strengthen ew York team, but oue or two weak spots appeared in its make-up, and an «f- THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, AUGUST 2, 1897-12 PAGES. Men’s Suits Half Price.

How the Washington fans would nave welcomed such an effort! A transfer of two or three players from Toronto would have strengthened the hington crowds materially and could not have weakened the Washingion team. But it is hinted that Arthur Irwin is mak- ing more money in Toronto than Earl Wagner is in Washington. Undoubtedly, if such is the case, it is because Arthur Irwin has relatively a stronger team in Teronto than Earl Wagner has in Washington. At any rate, Washington enthusiasts are only interested in the Toronto. team in so far as it may supply some real ball players for the weak Washington team. How they stood eit NE -675 Krookly -6e.

If exhi- bitiors Uke this would be given every day, instead of coming in spots, the local pat- rens would have no kick ccm ng. Of course, more enjoyment would have been added to | the game had the Senators won; but after losing three straight to the Baltimore rowdies and hoodlums, there was consid- erable satisfaction over the fact that ‘such a gentlemanly lot of players as the Bos- tens are should be the victors. Reilly dis- covered after Friday’s game that the fore- finger of his left hand was broken, and Wrigley replaced him at third in Satur- day’s game, O’Brien coming back into the game at second. Both trese mem put up an excellent game, taking care of everything. that came their way, Wrigley especially having several hard plays that he pulled off in the most enjoyable style. MecJames was on the rubber for the Washingtons, and had his command of the ball been a litYe more secure a. victory would have gone to his credit without a} doubt. Six bases on balls. and one hit bat- ter were the imperfections that marred: his good work, as they were all costly. Such: the ball im front of the plate fooling completely. Charley Nichols did the twirling for the Beaneaters, and from Brown, the batter, taking second on the error and coming .|home on Collins’ | single. ‘The winning run materialized in the ninth for Boston. Billy Hamilton was chased back into the game, although troubled with a sore ankle, and secured first. on balls. He went to seppud on Tenny’s safe bunt, toward first, Allea then sacrificed, pushing both runners gleng, and the speedy Hamilton then wound up the game when he beat’ home a hard-hit grounder to: De Mont. Both teams put up an excellent fielding game, the Bostons not having a misplay, while the Senators had two errors that luck figured in toa great extent. Umpire Emslie acted the part of arbitrator in an impartial manner, but little opposition to his decisions being registered. Other Saturday Lengue Games. Baltimore, 8; Philadelphia, 2.

Two games for one admission will be played at National Park this aftérndén be- tween the Bostons and Washingtons, the first game being called at 2 o’clock. King and Swaim will probably do the twirling for the home club, while Klobedanz and Lewis will fill the same positions for the visitors. ‘Tommy Tucker put his heart and soul in- to the game Saturday and could rarely be kept out of the coacher’s. box. Emsiie had to eall him down to the bench finally, but even then Tom continued to lead the root- ers in the yelling and applause. Perhaps Tuck wouldn't have liked to have won the game. No wonder Charley Reilly couldn't do himself justice in Friday’s game. That screaming liner that he hammered down with his left hand didn’t do a thing to him but break his forefinger of that hand. Charley said he knew ‘at once his finger was broken, as it was the same peculiar sensation he had when his leg snapped: seme years back, but that it would never have: done for him to ledve the game in the face of Doyle’s kidding. Charley has been playing good consistent ball up until the Baltimore: series, batting at opportune times and fielding splendidly. The mishap. 1s to: be deplored, and it is to be hoped that the nervy third baseman will be abie to get back in the game at an early date. Messrs. Murnane and’ Morse, the Boston Tewspaper men, are with the Bostons. as | usual on this trip and are: “rooting” hard for the Beaneaters. As story tellers and writers these two gentlemen are, almost in @ class by themselves. While Captain Duffy of the Bostons. does not indulge in senseless kicking, there is no harder worker for his club in the league. The umpire that thinks he can impose on Duffy erd pull off the imposition without the hardest kind’ of a protest must be a new one in the business. He only- kicks for his rights; the umpires know this, and it is seldom that cue of Hughey’s kicks go astray.

It would be just like Soden, Billings and Co- nant to let go $10,000 to get hold of the Cleveland rail splitter.—Cincinnati Ex- change. Perhaps the New York club did a wise thing when it signed Jimmie Donnelly. There is no discounting Domnelly’s ability, if he will but take care of himself. He usually takes just one “big spree” during the season. He has already had that spree at Pittsburg’s expense. Maybe he'll stick to the straight and narrow path the rest of the season. First base is just the place for “Scrappy” Joyce and his dead arm. He'll be able to get everything they throw at him, and he is one of the best batters in America. Tony Mullane Tefuses to get in the “has been”. class. For eighteen years he has been a pitcher, and it is not out of line to say that he is as good a box artist to- day as he ever was. The other day ho set the ball world talking by pitching a one- hit victory. His arm has lost none of its cunning or strength in its continuous serv- ice of almost two decades, and he is still @ past master in strategy. A young pitcher with his natural qualifications would be the find of the century. Fred Clarke tried a trick Sunday that lest his team the chance of tiving the game. He opened with a hit, McCreery followed with a hit, on which Clark went to second, and, detaching the bag, kept on to third, keeping the bag in front of him. When Everitt touched him out he claimed he was on second still: the claim almost knocked O'Day out, but he promptly de- cided Fred was out. Wagner then drove a beauty into right, on whieh Clarke could have scored, tieing the game. Such fool- ishness should be promptly called down. The patrons of ball games pay to see con- tests decided on merits, not on foolish pranks, and Clarke was guilty of a rank bit of “jackassery,” which should be erad- feed SE Ee ean.
