PROVING IN BATTISG-BAsE BALL NOTES.
Manager sullivan has signed Fuller and Wild
ner, the crack short-stop and pitcher OF the New
Orleans club. IL Is expected that these additions
will greatly strengthen the home team. Fuller Is
regarded as one OF the finest ball-players In the
country, and the Washington management has
been anxious 10 secure his services ever since early
spring, when the senators made a Southern tour
and were captivated by Fuller's work in the
infield- AL efforts to get his release
have been heretofore fruitless. Several
other clubs. notably the Detroits and Louisyilles,
have been anxious TO get him. A short time age
Manager Sullivan agreed with the New orleans
club TO give 1000 In cash for their favorite short
stop, and supposed that his signing was only a
question OF days Hearing nothing definite, how
ever ne started from Chicago on thursday morn
Ing and the result Of his visit shown In tele-
gram received from him by President Young last
evening, stating that both Fuller and Widener had
signed
Fuller was undoubtedly the star player Of the
southern League. He is, II anything, trife
smaller than Snoch, but bis activity on the field is
considered marvellous He Is no record player,
but goes after everything that there Is tue slight
ing second in the New orleans club. There is a
possibility that in league club he will be found
TO be in too fast company, but those who have
asst, who has witnessed several games In New Or
leans says: ale Is as active as cat and never
shirks anything while his throwing is even better
than Will Whites"
But little IS known here about Widner. He
was, however, the best twirer in New Orleans,
and twice defeated the Chicago team In the Spring
Fuller cost the Washington management 81 600
unless Manager sullivan succeeded In making a
better bargain on the ground. 1t is thought that
Mldener must have cost nearly as much as Fuller.
The new men, Fuller particularly will probably
not play until the WaShlngtonS reach home so
that the Washington public may witness their
debut.
President Young, in speaking of the signing Of
the Two New Orleans players yesterday, says that
he does not know who IN. widner" Is. He has on
his books the names OF Perry Worden and Peter
Needon as New Orleans players, but no such name
as tnat sent by Manager sullivan in his telegram
received last night. IL is SAID that Widner pitched
against the senators when they were beaten in
New Orleans this spring.
WE COULDN'T BAT YESTERDAY.
Anson's men took sweet revenge yesterday for
the terrible defeat OF the day BEFORE and whipped
the senators by the score OF 8 too. This result
came from the fact that Chicago hit often and
hard. while Washington could do nothing effective
In that line. Shaw and Arundel, and Van Haltren
and Farrell were the batteries The Chicago
pitcher was very effective, allowing the statesmen
10 make but four hits no two OF them being in the
same inning. sullivan, or Chicago, did the best
batting making a single, 4 double, and triple
Hoy's work at the bat was the best for Washing
ten, he making brace OF singles. The only mis-
play on the part or the.Senalors was one error by
shOch. chicago made 10 hits and errors. Shaw
had wild pitches, and Arundel passed balls.
PlttSburg won Two games from Boston, both of
them Shut-outs. In the first game, score 4 20 o,
Staley and Miller and Madden and Tate were the
batteries. PiItsburg made hits and = errors and
Boston hits and 3 errors The score OF the second
game was q TO o. The batteries were Calvin and
Miller and Radoourne and ORourke. Pittsburg
made II hits and errors and Boston hit and
errors.
Detroit took a brace Of games from Philadelphia.
The scores were 3 to- and q to o. In The frst
game the batteries were Getzein and Bennett and
Bun1nton and Clements Detroit made 4 hits and
I error and Philadelphia hits and errors. The
batteries In the second game were Conway and
Bennett and Casey and Mailman. Detroit made
hits and errors and Philadelphia hits and
errors.
As whitewash1ng seemed to be in fashion the
New York Giants tried their hand at besprinkling
little over the HOLSTERS, defeating them by the
score OF TO o. Boyle and Myers and Keeie and
Ewing were the batteries. New York made hits
and errors, and Indianapolis hits and errors.
