GENERAL BASEBALL NEWS OF THE DAl

There is not much generosity in wanting
to win every ball game that is played, and
well-designing Providence, doubtless, has
arranged earthly affairs in such way that
no National League club need expect to per-
form any such selfish act. This is, without
question, a very wise arrangement, and the
wisdom Of it is so clear that argument in its
support is unnecessary. Our home talent
has made Anson and his striplings bite the
dust twice this week, and it was meet that
defeat should be their lot yesterday so as to
keep the other people from absolute de-
spondency. The great question in dispute
yesterday afternoon, however, was not
whether or not we should win
but whether or not we should be covered with
dose of what is metaphorically called white
wash. Depend upon it matters looked as
IL our representatives couldn't escape that dose.
Mr. Anson doubtless. had his little brushes
ready for use, but they were not needed. The
eleventh hour. however, arrived before that mo-
mentous question was decided.
The weather was miserable, just such day
that either Chicagoans or anybody can have al
most anything they want here to get out of the
way The damp and raw wind that howled
across the park placed overeoats at premium
and caused the players to do song and dance
tricks in the field. As a result there was barely
1000 people in the park, and they were certain
ly uncomfortable The rain was so threatening
at one stage that it was thought the game
would be called. The legitimate end was
reached, however, and Chicago was awarded
its first championship victory of this year.
AN AMUSING FEATURE.
There were not many features in the game.
but there was one worthy of note. At the
commencement Anson began to draw Galvins
attention to a "balk" that Jimmy was making
in struggling his shoulders. Jeems pitched on
unheedless of the Chicago Captains remarks
for a time They became monotonous, how
ever, and the Gentle shouted to Lynch:
Umpire, will you keep this man quiet"'
Lynch called halt and gave very pointed
admonition to Anson TO shut up" This
tickled the crowd, and one member of the
bleaching board audience yelled in sarcastic
tones:
"Anson, be a gentleman or nothing"
This timely reminder of. the Chicago clubs
latest moral declaration evidently had an i'm
pressive effect on Anson, as he never kicked
again.
The game was Somewhat Of the onesided kind.
True, the visitors should not have made a run
ing old Calvin up so frequently that their vic
tory looked a foregone conclusion. 1t was one
of those days on which Galvin's best or at least
most energetic efforts only result in slaughter.
The veteran is not in line yet by any means,
and it may be opportune here to remark that
scarcely a pitcher in the nine is. This, of
course is the usual condition of affairs in the
local team at the start Of However, jimmy
was pounded. and quite merrily at that. The
hail was p0nuph often onOnOl
away to win two or three games. With the
exception of Kuehne, Calvin had excellent
support
SOME GREAT FIELDING.
Maui distinguished himself in right field art
at bat Out of the four times he welded the
stick he made three hits. His fielding wa,
equal to any seen here in right field, not en-
tirely because of the flies he caught, but alsC
because of the many bounders he neatly ant
on some occasions brilliantly picked up. Hi
fielding was one of the features.
Tener, that tall, 1.-THE and gentlemanly youth
from the eastern part of the city, was in thu
box for the visitors, and if ever human being
fooled other human beings he fooled the Pitts
burg sluggers. They couldn't touch him, anC
at the end of the eighth they only had thret
little hits. He kept them hugging the bases
also. and, altogether, he did about Just as vel
as anybody else could have done. Tener may
blossom into reliable and effective pitcher
III
he was being measured up. There is one prob
ability about Tener viz that if he is once sizeC
up he will go all to pieces. He is not like al
old stager and can resort to many lodges anC
arts. However, it is fair to say that be gave al
excellent exhibition of pitching yesterday. H
was also well supported by Farrell and the bal
ance of his colleagues. Duffy and Pfeffe
hits, beyond the shadow of a doubt. In tn
third inning Pfeffer stopped terrific grounde
from Miller's bat that won him rounds of ap
plause. SOmmers, Of last years Bostons, ap
peared with the Chicagos and played right field
He had no chances and was not very successful
at the bat.
The visitors were the first to score, and the,
tailed three in the third inning Ryan opened
the inning and raped a lively grounder il
front of Kuehne. The latter was in excellen
position to get 1t, but it went clean throug
between his legs, and Ryan got to first safely
Van Haltren few out to Maui, and Duff
fouled out to Miller.
WHAT THE ERRORS DID.
The side ought now to have been out Ansor
with his big bat and brawny arms, loomed u
and knocked out single to right and Pfeffer'
single sent Ryan home and Anson reache
third on Kuehne's muff of thrown ball b
Miller. Farrell came up and walloped out
Idouble to left field, bringing both Anson an
Pfeffer home.
The eighth inning was lively, indeed. Nj
Pfeffer smilingly took Jimmy's measure for
corl1ing triple to deep center field. Fare
again raped out single, bringing PfeHe
home and reached second himself on passe
ball. Burns knocked out single and Fare
scored Then Sommers banged out a doubl
over Hanlons head and Tommy Burns amble
home. Tener was put out at first, Sommel
reaching third on the sacrifice. Ryan brougf
Sommers home by good single to middle
The next two men were retired In order.
The home players made their only run in th
last inning. Miller led off with double an
scored on Beckley's long single to left fell
Dunlap few out to Ryan and Carroll got h
bases on balls. Maui mode a single, filling th
bases and there was q dim hope of victory
Kuehne came to bat. He made good blu
by knocking the ball to the right field fenc
