BASE BALL YESTERDAY.
Games Played by Association Clubs at Gin
cinnati, ST. Louis and Brooklyn.

CINcrNNATI, Aug. 29-Pittsburg won its third
consecutive victory over Cincinnati in the pres
ence of 800 people to-day. The game was re-
markably close, as will be seen by the base hits
and errors. and was won on its merits. In the
sixth inning a great uproar was raised by the
crowd over one of Wash's decisions, and about a
dozen beer glasses we're hurled into the diamond
from two Of the stands. The disturbance was
confined to the few hoodlums who threw them,
and was promptly suppressed, no one being hurt.
The decision was perfectly just Fennelly,
Reilly, Carroll and Bradley hit hard, and the
first named picked up hot liner just before it
touched the ground, in fine style Morris de-
layed the game in several innings by claiming
that Walsh was giving him the worst of it on
balls. Score:

ST. LOUIS Aug 29-Rain stopped the morn
ing-Browns, l; Louisville, 0.
The afternoon game brought out 5000 people,
although the weather was threatening The
Browns won as they pleased. Ramsey was hit
hard, and Kerinss catching was wretched and
probably had something to do with the famous
left-handed twirler's bad luck. Foutz proved
very effective, the visitors being unable to bat
him safely, only two men reaching second and
none getting further ONeill and Welch's out
field work was great and difficult catches by
Robinson and Bushopg brought loud applause
from the audience. The batting of the home
team, especially O'Neills, was the feature of the

NTbre About the St Louis League Club.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
Boston, Aug. 29-The statement was made,
on the authority of the directors of the Boston
Ball Club that paid agent has followed the St
Louis Maroons for weeks, in the interest of the
Boston club; that the Boston club has offered a
sum for Glasscock and Myers far exceeding any
figure heretofore named for a League player;
that SO. 600 has been offered for choice of five
players from the St. Louis team; that the entire
team and League franchise has been offered to
to Boston for $4,000 and a shoul-
dering of obligations, but has been
refused; that the Boston club has
agreed to pay any sum for Glasscock that the
League officials may name and to pay that play
er any salary that the League may decide is
proper, and that, according to the construction
Of the League committee now having in charge
the destiny of the st. Louis players, it seems
likely that, from business reasons, Glasscock
and Myers, and possibly others of ST. Louis, will
play in Boston next season. ENx
