Behind the Bat.
Kuehne has been signed by the Column
bus club to take the place of Elmer Cleye-
land who jumped his contract to return
to the League.
In yesterdays game Van Haltren played
short-stop as few of the stars IN that diff
cult position have ever played ii in Balti-
more. He accepted eight chances without
error, capturing every grounder that came
near him with wonderful agility and
hurting it over to first base swiftly and
truly.
What a prize this city lost in Perry
WeTden. Since he was released by the
old League club he has made wonderful
record.
The Cincinnati association players
yesterday pleaded guilty to a charge of
Sunday ball'playing and were fined.
President Henry b. Bennett of the
Washingtons accompanied his club to
Baltimore yesterday, and saw the game
with eX-Manager Henderson of the old
Baltimore Unions. Mr.. Bennett was
identified III 1884 with the Union Associa-
ton Club in the Capital. Snyder has
been given full charge of our team, he
said, "and some new players will be Sc
cured soon if we can get them, We want
anew pitcher, catcher, and third baseman,
although after Dunlap recovers we may
place him at third base. Our directors
have resolved to spend all the money
which may be necessary to ge. iirst-class
club together, for we know that nothing
short Of such an organization can ever eX-
cite the enthusiasm of the Washington
people. One cause of our desire TO dis
ptnse with the services of Manager prOtt
was that he lived in Baltimore and did
not spend enough time in Washington to
transact club business. We do not con-
cedo that his contract cannot be dissolved;
but even if that were the case ! would
favor the engagement of Mr.. Snyder"
President Bennett is a great admirer of
the OriOles.-BditiROre san.
Dowd did great work again yesterday.
A triple, five put outs four assists and no
errors stamp him remarkable player.
Sammy Wise got in one of his one hand
plays, taking n liner from Davis bat in
the last inning. sam hasn't forgotten his
cunning.
Jim Mutnemust feel glad. His wrecks
defeated Brooklyn yesterday, and won its
first game Of the season.
The Boston League Club thus far has
made phenomenal record.
Burns played his first game with the
Washingtons yesterday and did fairly
well.
OWED TO A SECOND BAsEMAN,
They may tell us were not In H.,
But there's always time TO win II,
And we know II by the racket OF the crowd.
Your electric egs and rcRChers
That astOnish all the hcaChcrs
And your hits 10 clear the bases, Tommy
DOwd,
when IL looks Ike luckless trouble,
why, you play dandy double
And II makes yOn quite the loolah Of the
crowd
| II the others have forgotten
| J hat 10 shirk play II rotten
We viii count ON you for batting, Tommy
DOWd.
