A FARCE

There was q farce comedy Of ball game in
Milwaukee yesterday between the Brewers and
the Statesmen, in which the latter played as if
they had said goodbye to their regulations as
ball tossers when they babe adieu TO Washing
ton The score was 80 to 3 in favor of Mil
wuukes and the story of the game is sad one.
IL 10 tale. of woe unparalleled in the history OF
the present season. Poor pitching was the
main feature Of the contest. and when the bat
ters Of the other side could not hit safely which
ras very seldom, the helders on the Washing
ton team helped them out by fumbling and
mufing. There Is no use III going into details
df the way in which Foreman was pounded all
over the field, how Hatfield took his place In
the sixth inning. how the team. becoming
ennuied by the farce, played raggediy In the
Geld and now the game was finally brought to
close at the end OF two hours and bali.

The Brewers made four suns in the first, two
in the second, none, strange to say. In the third

The other side was amply reveuged In the fifth,
however. for they made seven. nine more an
the sixth. three in the seventh, when the Ma
ronals took heart again and actually made two
runs Milwaukee made the thirtleth and last
run in the eighth inning. and after that MOTH
ing was done. There was little more that could
well be done and yet keep the occasion within
ball.

NOTES.
What disaster,
There were :. 900 present.
Another game In Milwaukee today.
Foreman gave nine bases on balls and Hat
field four.
Columbia plays for blood today on Analostan
Island.
The Senators still lead the Colonies by twelve
points
Conservative guessers give the Statesmen
four victories on this trip
Bob Barr Is not of much use to New York.
He has pitched once and then poorly.
The peace talk nils the air completely, but
there l. little definite in 1t.
Leach and Wright will be the Columbia bat
tery against Westeryelt and Currie.
YcCauley sees rocks ahead of him. He
realizes that few managers can stand a first
basems who cannot bat and he wants to show
his speed. II ne can but Keep up the gait he
has adopted during the past two games lie will
be all right
The question now is whether Washington has
any pitcher whom reliance can be placed at
all. Foreman has done badly in the last two
games that he has pitched and Carsey is not
reliable. What is to be done IN the box!
The Dowds, composed of players eighteen
years old, were defeated yesterday by the Mon
Itors, fifteen and under in age, this being the
fourteenth consecutive victory for the little
fellows Cook pitched good ball for the win
ners, striking out sixteen men without having
u hit made OF his delivery. Challenges will be
received for the Monitors by Hugh Hayes, 81
4 street northwest.
