ERs-THE REoRaANIzED PERSONS.
There was q ball game yesterday for the
fret time in four days, and although there was
free show going on down town in the shape
OF the military review, yet about six hundred
persons made the pilgrimage to Stand Pipe
Park and saw the contest between the Senators
and the Cuban Giants. 1t was repetition Of
the game played on Monday with the Williams
College team, the score being 30 to 4. For an
inning or two it looked as though the game
might last all night, and as it was Umpire
Baker was kind enough to call game at the end
OF the eighth inning. Washington won, by
the way. The Cuban Giants are by no means
the team they used to be. Grant being about
the only player Of any skill on it He was the
life of the game, and his loud voice and unique
methods of coaching made things quite lively,
q dozen runs or SO. The battery for
the Washington nine at the start was
Mccoy and Nicholas. The big twirler, who
made his appearance in the box for the
first time, showed up in shape that won him
good reputation on the start. He has a good
command Of the ball and is hard. safe hitter
as well. During the three innings that he
pitched he struck out five men. He was fol-
lowed in the box by Phillips, who stayed two
innings, and in the sixth seventh and eighth
visiting team was all mixed up, the score card
carrying multitude of change positions. In
the second ianing Stovey gave seven bases on
balls, which, aided by q three-bagger by Nc
Coy, single by Bird and another by Mccoy.
two errors, a wild pitch and five stolen bases,
yielded eleven runs for Washington. settling
the game then and there. The rattle in the
box was kept up for another inning, the home
team making three more, and again in the fifth
five runs resulted from three-base hit by
,ntlA- -. l.. Ia IL IL
by Bader. The Giants managed to make
runs in the second, third, sixth and seventh
innings by means of well punched batting
two double hits in the second, single and
a double in the third, a single and an error by
Bird in the sixth and triple and single in
the seventh. The home team played almost
faultless game, making but two errors, one Of
which was that by Bird which was partly on
account OF the rough ground in the right field
and a muffed high foul by Hill that did not
hurt the result O'Brien made particularly
fine play in the fifth, stopping a hot liner,
touching runner a. he passed and getting the
ball down TO first in time to make q double
play. Grant made the play OF the day, high
one-hand catch Of badly thrown ball at Sec
ond, putting out the runner. In the fourth
inning Miller hit ball down in front
Of the plate, and in going for it
Nicholas sat deliberately down on the
ground, thus giving the man hit
In the seventh Nelson smashed the ball out into

would have given him q home run had he not
slipped when near the third sprawling ON the
ground long enough to make it trihe danger
Gus to attempt to go home. In the eighth Hill
made a rafting three-bagger, which Was felded
up a little faster than he expected It, and he
and the third baseman went rolling in the dirt
Hill was rather severely Jared, but he re-
sumed his place the next inning.
The home team made IL hits and errors
and the visitors hits and 10 errors.
NOTES
There were sixteen Senators at the bat in the
second inning.
Bird made four runs, enough to tie the game
alone.
Mccoy runs quite stifly, his foot still hurt
ing him.
1t was remarked by some one yesterday that
there has been more coaching done by the
Washington team during the present exhibI-
ton season than there was during all Of last
year.
Grant talks all the time in a game Here are
some Of his expressions in coaching: Don't
you dare to run back; keep away from tile
base" ''Put the ball out OF sight; hit it in the
eye, old man, take all the stitches out of it,"
Inks, the Indianapolis pitcher whom Arson
released, officiated in Philadelphis against the
Hamlltons and did exceedingly well.
Paul Hines says he was offered more money
to play with players team than he is receiv-
ing from the Pittshurg National League Club.
Arson thinks the players will draw at the be-
ginning, but that the crowds will dock to the
National League games.
Ohio is the banner base ball state. 1t has two
cities in the league, two in the American Asso-
citation, one in the Players League and six in
the Tri-state League.-E1chonoe
Ohio Is getting quite reputation between
base ball and presidents.
