Dissatisfied with Manager Wait.
From all accounts the championship
game at harrisburg Yesterday, briwren
the liarri burg and Quickstep, was one
of the most disgraceful ever reported.
The Harrisburg team are more like a
sci of cut throatS than ball players, and
their motto is "if we can't win by fair
means We will win by foul" This was
the troEDie IN yesterdays game and
Schappert, the Harrisburg pitcher, WAS
selected to do the dirty work and win
the game, assisted by the umpire, whose
decisions were outrageous.
Four of the Quickstep men were
severely injured by the pitcher, while
the others were afraid to get near the
plate to hit the ball, on account Of the
brutality of the pitcher. Ever since
the season opened there has been uni
verSal complaint against Schappert' )
cowardly habit in malicious Y Gripping
men at the bat. When the Quickstep
left for Harrisburg they were confident
that they would loose the game If
Schappert pitched and their eXprcta.
tons have been fulfilled. Such actions
on the part of the Harrisburg team are
urged on by the patrons Of the game
in that city, A visiting team has no show
whatever, and some steps should be
taken to remedy the matter or "ou- t"
the club from the association. Surely
there is some remedy Tor such actions.
The score by innings is as follows
| (uirkstep 20 o 0 D 0 . o. .
| Harrisburg 1 90 : ) X-l2
The exhibition game at Harrisburg
to-day, between the above mentioned
clubs, will doubtless be declared off on
account Of the actions of the Harrisburg
players.
Dorr will pitch against The St. Louis
in this city on Wednesday, and Smiley,
| who, with Dorr, was at one time mem
ber of the visiting team, will probably
be able to appear on the field for the
first ime since his illness. Pyle will
pitch against the Brooklyn on Thurs
day and Dorr against the Anthracite.
Both Of the last two games are the
championship series.
The resignation Of umpire McGurk,
which was ammo need yesterday, has
caused considerable dssatiS faction
among the patrons at Quickstep Park.
His decisions have always been fair
and impartial to all, and the friends of
the club are 10th to see him depart. In
view of this fact. it is understood that
petitions are being circulated, one of
which asks for the return Of McGurk
and the other for the resignation of
Manager Watt, who is held response
bic for the resignation Of McGurk.
II is also alleged that Waltz, as an
efficient manager, is failure and that
he is in the main to blame for the poor
playing of the club. What action the
directors will take in the matter re-
mains te he seen, but it is generally un-
derstood that some Of them are
thoroughly disgusted with Watt.
