Behind the Bat.
Mcclure ought to have known better
than to throw to second when two men
were out and man on third. 1t was a
bad error Of judgment.
Stivetts will pitch for the Browns to-
day.
Comiskey was equal to the occasion and
to him is due great deal of credit for the
victory.
The Columbus Club made an attempt
yesterday to restrain Third-baseman
Charles G. Reilly from playing with Pitts
burg. No injtMction was granted, but
the case will beheard on its merits in the
Court of Common Pleas next Saturday.
President Kramer has issued the fol-
lowing instruction to all the umpires:
"You are hereby instructed to forbid any
| interference with the performance of
your duties or with your decisions by any
manager, captain or player of any of the
| Association clubs. You will also prohibit
| them from engaging in any argument or
discussion with you in regard to your de-
| cisions. In case of any violation of this
| order you will impose the necessary fines.
| am determined to prevent wrangling
and quarreling with all the umpires upon
| the ball field. At the same time you will
| refrain from any arbitrary action and
| conduct yourself with GOODNESS and sound
| Judgment. | am resolved to sustain the
| the umpires as long as they discharge
| their duties faithfully, intelligently, hon
estly. You will, on all occasions, require
| the captain or manager and all the players
| to remain in their proper position on the
| field. If this order does not have the de-
sociation to ciothe the umpires with the
| additional power of suspending any
| player, captain or manager for period
| not exceeding ten days as a penalty for
/ violation of these instructions"
Iohman, the new catcher, will be here
| to-day.
| Anson seems to be doing pretty well for
man who is playing his twenty-iirst sea
| son.
Everybody is satisfied with Pop Smith
| at third and Burns in the middle garden,
Bakely's delivery was excellent, but his
fielding on TWO occasions was absolutely
| stupid enough to take the heart out of a
| pitchers support
Hatfield doesn't seem to be able to hit
the ball at home,
Dowd played, fielded and batted beau.
| tifully as usual. Two fine, clean, singles
and one of the prettiest bunts ever made
| was the way he led at the bat. But it was
pity he fell down.
After all it was good game.
The team of the visitors showed the
capital good stuff of which it is com,
| posed by the manner in which, after
| II seemed impossible to bat Bakely's de
| livery by the way in which they snatChed
success in the eighth inning
The locals outbatted the visitors,
1t should not be forgotten McQuery is
| playing first base without flaw as vel
| as hitting the ball hard.
