THE TENTH DEFEAT.
CoMIsKEY's MEN TAKE A GAME FROM
THE NATIONALS.

The Local Team Played Listlessly-Car-
sey Was Batted Hard aud His Sup
port Was Poor-How the Clubs
stand-Gosslp Of the Game.
Comiskey's men won the second game
from the Nationals yesterday IN a contest
that was so one-sded as to be barren of
interest, and that in so far as the local
team was concerned was distinguished
principally by what it failed to do, either
individually or as a whole. The men
seemed to lack the spirit which should
should have imbued them and played in
an indifferent manner that called forth
many demonstrations of disapproval
from the spectators. Especially was this
so in the case of several of the players
They were listless both in the field aud at
the bat, and every action showed n desire
to shirk the work for which they are en-
ployed.
The story of the game is quickly told.
The men from the Mound City piled up
fourteen runs, only two of which were
earned, on fourteen base hits, which
yielded total of twenty-three bases, be-
ing ably assisted by the errors of the To-
cal team, not only in the field where they
are chargeable, but in Judgment, where
the record cannot count against them.
In the second inning Comisky's cohorts
scored nine runs on q combination of
hitting and errors, and after that it was
simply question of how many runs they
would make. Errors of Judgment were
as plentiful as blacliberries in June, and
the boys from the Mound City took adj
vantage of the picking to increase the
score.
Carsey who was pitching, was taken
out at the conclusion of the second inning
and Mace substituted, although it was not
the CalifoTnian's fault that his team was
so far in the rear. Mace pitched a credit
able game considering the handicap
under which he worked Comisky wisely
substituted Neal for Stivetts after his
team had the game well in hand, and the
| former pitched out the remainder of the
game in excellent style, only three hits
being made off his delivery. His support
| was likewise good.
All the credit for the game belongs to
| the Browns, who played ball all through
| the game, no matter how far ahead they
were, that was in marked contrast to the
| listless and Indifferent playing of the
| local team.
