Had any other player but Faatz
strOlled back 10 second yesterday on a
caught fly, and got put out for It, he
would have been fined.
As an umpire, Keyes is not bloom
ing success. lie means well, though,
bat Is easily ratified, and Is not thor
oughly posted on the rules.
Manager Roushkolb occupied seat
in the grand stand for three innings
yesterday, when he suddenly left. The
| censures and ''roasts" OF his fayorlte
"Faatz," which were buzzing about
him ON all sides, evidently made hlm
| uncomfortable.
Why is il Dixon is not allowed TO
| catch? Is IL frequent and numerous ~
| quiry among the patrons OF the game.
1 Captain Faatz probably dlsilkes 10 have
| his work compared with that of the
| sturdy little fellow, and SO keeps Dixon
/ III the field.
The Grand Rapids team will play a
| game with the WestOns at the Fountain
| street park tomorrow afternoon, for the
| benefit of the Johnstown sufferers. The
! game will be called at i o'clock. Mea-
kim and Faatz will occupy the points

lege Club next Saturday afternoon, at
the old ball park grounds, Jefferson
avenue. The batteries will probably be
as follows: Etna's, Madison and La
throp; Leans Il. c., Van Leuwen and
Dority.
Purvis, the new catcher, went into
right field yesterday, and played a
magnificent game. He made three
brilliant and timely catches. He did
not seem 10 mind his injured finger.
Three hits out of SIX times at bat is
indeed a glorious record. Purvis is a
slugger, sure.
The grand stand is a forcible rcmin-
der of the circus. The shouts and an
noyance of peanut, lemonade and cigar
venders IS becoming a tiresome nui-
sance. Those who are disposed to
patronize the stand, hoping to find
retirement and quiet, will soon he
| forced to the outside seats, unless the
peddlers are called oil.
There was much disgust on the part
of spectators at the slovenly, inditfer-
ent manner in which catcher Faatz
conducted himself, particularly when
he stood still with the ball in his hand
and allowed man to run from second
to third. Faatz did not seem 10 care
whether the game was won or not. He
walked after the ball, and when he got
1t, even at critical times, threw it as
though he was blindfoldcd. 4 pre-
scription reading "fined the limit
ought to be applied to Faah, and
might prove a wholesome antidote for
his apparent mulish temper.
