II George Washington Bradley Is animated
by purpose TO kill baseball In Memphis he
is proceeding just right 10 do IT, In all the
long list OF irritating, turbulent uproarious
and persistent kickers who have from time
to time cast the sport into disrepute among
decent people George W Bradley never had
an equal for intense ofcnsiyenoss. When
other men have kicked heretofore there has
always been reasonable excuse for object
ing to the umpirc's decisions, but Bradley
kicks at unreasonable junctures and at
triflcs which any but q small minded and
desputatious creature would scorn TO notice.
Yesterday he made himself 30 decidedly Of
fensiyc TO the crowd that lac was constantly
hooted at and jeered, az he deserved TO be.
To show what contemplate forms his mean
ness would take the following instance will
serve: A quartet Of small boys sat about five
feet 10 the left OF the ladies' stand on the
grass Bradley saw them, and as there was
nothing else 10 kick at he kicked at that
and compelled the umpire to order them TO
withdraw. Bradley is probably captain and
takes this method 10 SHOW or man
whose ambition TO be conspicuous can take
such an iniinitcstimal shape must be n poor
sort Of creature. II Is but just TO the other
members Of the team To say that they be-
havcd as gentlemen and gave no oilense.
The game was well played and interesting,
despite the fact that the errors doomed up
numerously on either side. Nichols pitched
n great game aud kept the relicans guessing.
He only yielded four scattering hits, and
struck out eight men. Werdcn, the home
run slugger, had TO content himself with one
bcggarly hit Vaughn supported Nichols
superbly, and made base stealing a very
hazardous undertaking. Powell also proved
very effective. but was not ns well supported
as the home pitcher. Bligh rendered Powell
splendid support behind the bat and made
two beautiful catches Of difficult foul fly
balls.
There was no scoring IN the fourth inning.

Andrews made a single stole second, but

ON Phean's hit 30 centar, although Powell
deliberately stood In his track aud tried TO
prevent his scoring. phelan, In the mean
while, made second on the throw In aud
scored on Nichols double This left the
score comfortable, . 10 Ia favor VI the To-
Gals.
In the seventh inning Memphis added
