St. Louis at Philadelphia—clear, Record of the Clubs, Cinbs. Clevelnd. Balthwore. New York. Pittsburg. The Pittsburg Pirates made their first ap- pearence here this season yesterday, and, in a pitchers’ contest, took the game by a score of 3 to 2. Mercer started in to pitch for the Senators, but in attempting to stop Brodie’s bounder in the second suffered a split finger and was compelled to retire, Cy. Swaim taking his place on the rubber. Tannehill, the hard-hitting pitcher of the smoky city people, was the opposing twirl- er, and he held the senatorial aggregation down to five safeties, one of which was a three-bagger to the left field fence by An- derson in the fourth inning, and one was 2 double by Selbach in the fifth down the right field foul line. Anderson counted a run off his hit, while Selbach’s went for paught. The game was a snappy, well-played one, full of ginger, the Washington men seem- ingly having made a fresh start under the management and direction of Jack Doyle. Swaim gave a perfect exhibition of control, not a man getting a pass from him, and but six hits being made off him in the eight innings he pitched. Tannehill not only pitched fine ball, giving but one pass and striking out four men, but he also secured two of the hits made by his side, one of them being a homer in the bleachers in the eighth inning. But three errors were made in the game, only one being charged against the visitors, and that one was re- sponsible for a run. Wrigley’s failure to hold McGuire's throw, to second in the eighth was aiso responsible for a run. Neither side scored until the fourth in- ning, when the Senators got a man across the plate. Anderson shot one to the left field fence for three bases, scoring on Me- Guire’s out at first. Both sides scored one run in the seventh Inning. Me ‘thy lift- ed one to right center for three bases, run- ning home on Dayis’ single to right. In the same inning Reitz’hit one to Gray at third and the ball ;was;shot past the first baseman, Reltz going to second on the wild throw. Wrigley’s out at first put him on third, and he reached home by a grand slide when Swaim's ball in front of the plate was sent to first, and then back to home. = : The Pirates settled’-the game in thc eighth inning, scoring two runs. Tannehiil, after sending one down the right foul line which bounded oyere Doyle's head and which seemed to be fair, sent one bounding over the bleacher fence, Gettman seemin: ly misjudging the tail. Donovan then sin- gled to center, and when Wi ey failed to block McGuire's throw to catch him at econ, kept on to third, scoring on Gray's fiy to Selbach. Score! sbington. R.H.O.. ittsburg.

The Lively Outflelder Will Go to the Rochester Clui Mr. Wagner decided this morning to crop off another little piece from the ex- pense account and released Outfielder Jimmy McHale to the Rochester Eastern League team. McHale came to Washing- ten as the most tovied player that ever came out of minor league ranks, but un- fortunately for him and the club alike, he failed to me2t even half way the iauda- tory predictions of his future in the big league. McHale was supposed to be a fair sticker, a great fielder and a fast base runner. In not ene of these qualifications did he =| his salar: $ urally followed. Washington McHa'e among the piayers and and he leave accompa: y 5000 wis! He will doubtless get back into his year's form while nh the Reches and again astonish the minor with his sensational playing. Brse Ball Notes. Ladies’ day. Pittsburg again today. Tanuehill is quite a player. Again Hillary bit the dust. Everybody played the best Nothing more is asked. It lcoked as if Gettman misjudged Tan- nehill’s homer. Don't hammer a player for errors; member his good plays. : One game in two years is Washington's record against Tannehill. Donovan is still the speedy boy of old when on the bases. McGuire has witnessed the debut and exit of several managers since he joined the Senators. Manager Watkins’ discipline is telling on the Pittsburg club. There is no compari- son between this year's team and the one that represented the smoky city last sea- son. If the Senators play as well for the next three games as they did yesterday three victories will come their way. Tannehill’s pitching and hitting turned the trick yes- terday. Selbach will head off the batting list hereafter. He is a better walter than Gett- man, as he has had the experience, and besides, Sel. knows the twirlers better. Had is arrangement been made yesterday one additional runs would have come leagi Hard luck. he could. re- TW: Tannehill’s first hit to Doyle looked like a_safe one, but Lynch called it foul. As the boys say, Tanny proved it by soaking the next ball in the bleachers for a home run. It was a beautiful drive. Manager Doyle was in the game with both feet yesterday, although he failed to do anything with his bat. His playing at first was superb, and the way he dove for first on his first hit caught the spectators in royal style. Sleepy playing has been banished from National Park for the re- mainder of the season. Wrigley made a couple of sensational stops and throws yesterday. The one he captured over second and the one he grab- bed after Wagner had partially knocked it down were sparklers. ~ Manager Watkins kept the Pirates from Kickir.g on decisions, cautioning them fre- quently, but he yelled with the bunch when Lynch declared Tannehill’s drive a foul. The smiles came back when Tanny re- sponéed with a homer. The Pittsburgs were lucky in pulling off that interference play of Wrigley’s between first and second. Zeke bumped O’Brien away from the drive and Connolly refused to declare the runner out, but Lynch came to the rescue. The crowd set off a yell of disapproval, but when Doyle agreed to the decision after a parley with the umpire everybody settled ‘kK satistied. Morgan Murphy was on the gate yester- day for Pittsburg and is the picture of health. He will probably be in the game today, receiveing the in and out shoots of Hastings. It is doubtful if Morgan will ever get with another team as fast as the eld Boston Association club, every man in that aggregation being a star. After pitching that remarkabie game last Saturday for the Baltimores Al. Maul walked to the bench and is reported to have said, “I guess that will hold me for a while.” The clubs that will finish one-two in the chamrionship race crossed bats in Boston yesterday. The Beaneaters and Buck's Reds are playing the steadiest ball inethe league today. There is something formidable about Andy” when he walks up to the bat. has very little to say to anybody. A pleas- ant smile usually hovers around his mouth and he carries all the specifications of a good-natured, honest fellow. But how he can hit, and hit in any direction! One time it is into left, then into right, and another into center. Tom Brown says he is one of = hardest batters in the league to play A Tampa special says: ktcwn in many cities in t is a raw recruit. He has just arrived with the 6th Cavalry. He is ‘Charlie Bastian, the old-time second baseman of the Phil- acelphia team. He says he would rather fight Spaniards than play ball.” The Cleveland base ball club has obtained the lease of seven acres of land at Euclid Beach Park, on the shore of the lake, about two miles east of the city limits, for Sunday base ball. The grand stand will seat 25,000 people and the park is reached ‘by steambuat and electric cars. The first Sunday same will be played on the 12th. Elberfield might as well learn now that Philadelphia ball cranks will not stand for his minor league methods. What we want is ball players, not toughs. -He was clear- ly wrong in trying to throw Harley in the first inning yesterday, and even if the lat- ter had not reached the plate in safety the chances are that Emstie, who saw the trick, would have permitted him to score. Ot course, Harley was in the wrong when “Big He “A person well the United States he ran into Eberfield in the third, but thea he was only getting square.
