But Are Beaten by Score of 3 to o.
The Providence's Amateur Play
ers Good Ones---Notes of
the Game.
The game yesterday was quite interest
ing, though slightly more so to the visitor,
than for the Nationals. Both pitchers were
effective, but the home nine failed to bunch
their hits, and made several costly errors,
which probably lost them the game. Un
fortunately Stearns made q bad decision in
the seventh, which prevented tho Nationals
from ~ ing the score. Stoarns, as an umpire
is strictly impartial, and has excellent iu1g-
ment, but in this case he erred. 1t is i'm.
possible to render exactly fair decisions
every time on close points at second base
In the seventh inning Fulmer tried to steal
second. Daily threw down there aud Stearns
declared Fulmer out. IL looked like a lust
decision from the grand stand. Powell
came directly after and was declared out at
second. This did not look to be an out from
the grand stand. To show how people may
be fooled from the grand stand, or even from
the umpircs position, the Providences sec
ond baseman, after the game, said that Ful-
mer was not touched, but Powell was. Yet
from the grand stand IL looked tho reverse
IfFulmer had not been decided out, he
would have been brought home by the.hits
Of Morrisey and Barr, thus tying the score.
Moore astoniahed bimself by his circus
catch as much rs he did tho spectators. He
was running at top speed, and the one
hand scoop he made was simply wonderful.
To the average small boy the man who
makes catch like that is greater hero
than the general who wins a battle.
How did you like the amateurs yester-
day u Lovett, Daily and Bassett arc all
amateurs, or were before tho present trip.
Lovett, is a Rhode Island boy, Daily is
from Connecticut, and Bassett graduated
from Brown University last year. In
Lovett and Daily the Providence Club has
a great change battery. Lovett pitches a
down ball very swiftly; it turns just before
IL reaches the plate, Daily is very active
and takes punishment we'll, as was shown
| in Yesterdays games.
Moore, Gagus and Denny are all from
| California. Sweeney, late of Providences
was another Of the California players.
Denny had his uniform all on yesterday
\ afternoon and was ready on the field whoa
he was taken with chills and had to lay off
Morrisey led the batting for the home
| nine and hit hard, as did Barr and White
| Bob is not satisfied unless he gets two
Dagger in every game. He pitched fne
game yesterday and fielded his position for
| all il WAS worth. He plays this season a.
though he enjoyed his surroundings more
than he did last.
Baker did all he was called upon to do
capturing three flies. Ono was a difficult
| one.
Lovett has Sweeney's old trick of letting
ball 20 by him, then, when 1t is thrown
back, sending it in suddenly to furry the
striker. 1t did not work yesterday.
Ted Ryan was out yesterday for the frs
| time since Monday. Though knocked out
in the most approved Marquls-of-Q Queens
berry style, he comes up smiling without
serious results.
Kintner and Woodward of the Columbii
Boat Club were at the game yesterday
Kintner was so interested during the eight
inning that he called out "ssroke" to Barr
