The Athletics Still Holding up Their End
of the Plank,


PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-The game be.
tween the Baltimores and Athletics to-day,
which resulted In another victory for the
home team, was poorly played on both
sides. The Baltimores, 1t is true, led
strongly In the number of errors, but the
Athletics played anything but their usual
game. Blakely occupied the pitchers box
for the third time and did his work fairly
well, but the number of wild balls that came
back to OPBrien must have made some of
the other members of the club fear for re-
suits when there were men on the
bases. O'Brien himself seemed in better
form than in the last few games, though he
was still weak In throwing to second
and allowed every man to get there who
tried to make the run from first. Blackis
TONS throwing was very weak also, and his
play at third not all that could be desired.
Stricker at second made one bad overthrow,
but his catch of McCormick's long fly in the
seventh inning, was the best piece of work
in the game. On the visitors side, Fox
pitched poorly, though he has had enough
work in the last few days to give him some
excuse for not doing his best, and Say at
short stop made several bad errors. ScOre

New YORK, May 16.-1he Allegheny
Club outplayed the Metropoltans at the bat
here to-day aLd won the game by score of
3 to2. Peters work in the short field was
the feature of the game. Sommers' umpir-
ing was the worst witnessed here this season,
His judgment on strikes and balls is poor,
while his decisions at critical moments were
ridiculous and were instrumentalin In winning
the game for the Pittsburg players. Fol-
lowing is the score:
