Butfor Perry Werden's two consecutive
mufs in the seventh inning yesterday
Memphis would have been disgracefully
beaten by the worst kicking team that
ever Disguised an audience. That would
have been the death blow TO baseball in
Memphis. A hundred victories could not
have compensated for the humiliation Of
defeat by such cantankerous nine.
George Washington Bradley made him
self SO Extensively obnoxious that the
temptation to mob him was almost irresist-
able. He availed himself of the fimsiest
OF pretexts to get in kick. Once he
stopped the game for nearly three min
utes upon the gauzy plea that somebody
had stolen n bat from member OF the
visiting team. The patience OF the audi
ence was most severely tested, and the
spectators shouted to Umpire Carr time and
again, "fine him, fine him." Defeat I'M
der such circumstances would have been
unbearable, and il is fortunate for the
Memphis team that they won by the
merest scratch.
McKeough had an "off" day and made
two costly errors in the first inning He
braced up, however, after that and re-
deemed himself, but ii IL evident that he
cannot hold Ewing. Why Vaughn does
not play with Ewing Is conundrum. The
game dragged throughout, the Pelicans
seeming TO delight in delaying the game,
and crawling up to tho bat rs ii they had
the whole week before them. Umpire
Carr is not strict enough. A few liberal
fines might infuso some life into the red
stockings.
The run getting in the first inning was,
on the Memphis side, confined to Cline
who hit for two bags, went to second on
Force sacrifice and scored on Andrews
sacrifice. For tho visitors, Fuller got @
base on balls, stole second and third and
