The Washington critic., 1889-05-14
THE SPORTING WORLD.


The Hoosiers got big dose of "raz.
zlcdazzlc" in the ninth yesterday, and
before they recovered Washington had
scored three runs. Talk about chump
playing-thc local boys were not in IL.
The Indianapolis aggregation gave an
exhibition of about as crazy playing rs
has been our luck to witness in many
day. The "only" Glasscock materially
assisted in Washington's victory, and
Long Jim Whitney, was the only one
of the visitors who put up good game.
Whitney pitched his hardest TO win, but
Washington had no trouble in hitting
him freely. On the other hand, Healy
was pounded as few pitchers are. II
was grand, old time slugging match
and one that delighted every one Of the
1000 people present. An accident to
Carney In sliding to first, whereby he
dislocated his shoulder, alone marred
the pleasure of the day

indianapolis is only four games ahead
of us. Two victories will tie. Now,
boys, brace up. Those two errors OF
Sam Wise were rather of the Scratch
order. Some scorers would have scored
baschits instead. Whitney made fouI
hits out of five times at bat If he will
keep II up during the season Indianap.

An apology is due Healy for uncon.
sciously ranking him with the young.

Egyptian brother has been with us such

He will not be forgotten soon after his

Car, the phenomenal 3-year-od run
ming colt, owned by Theodore Winters

died of pneumonia at Council Bluffs
Ia, this morning. He was the winner
of the California Derby. Proctor Knot
will start for the Clark stakes at Louis
vile to-day, and Isaac Murphy may
ride him. 1t is believed that Knot
would have won the Derby had Jockey
Barnes been strong enough to keep hin
from swerving. The Brooklyn handi
cap will be run tomorrow, and Hanove
should win.
