WHY THERE WAS NO GAME.
Results of Games Played in Other
Cities.

1t did not appear that enough rain fell yes
terday afternoon to wet the ball grounds sufli-
ciently to prevent the game with Wilmington
but there was no game all the same. The
Peach Blossoms, unacquainted, it would seem,
with the soft, evaporating, disappearing quail
ity of the Washington rain, came to the con-
clusion that game after such a shower was an
impossibility, and consequently were guilty of
the offense OF not reporting. Manager SuIli-
van, his colts, and a small crowd were in at
tendance at the grounds. but as the other side
did not turn up the game had to be called off,
in face of a comparatively dry diamond.
1t is probable that the announcement made
yesterday by Manager Sullivan that he bad Sc
cured the services of Jack Wentz, the crack
second baseman of the Texas League. is
probably the forerunner of other changes in
the home team. O'Brieu's habits of late have
not been good. and his release a matter of
necessity. WentZ has a good record and is
thought to be steady man. A dispatch was
sent out of town last night to the effect that
Sullivan was also searching for n new short
stop. being displeased with the poor showing
made by Gleason OF late. The veterans
habits are exemplary, but he has faculty of
making disastrous errors, which not
always compensated for by hits count of
the record of the last thirty-three games
took part, shows that he made 81 runs. "a hits,
with a total of 40 bases, AZ put outs, "a assists
and q errors. Manager Ted had better go
slow before releasing Gleason, as it is not an
easy matter to find good a man at this
period i'll the season. He is making an effort
to sign Catcher Wehrle, also OF Texas.
