Notes of the Game.

McNabb thinks that Sheridan willfully
gave him the worst of it in the eighth In
ming, and therefore feels bitterly toward the
king. He claims that McNry struck at one
ball which the umpire refused to give him,
and that the fourth ball called on DoOley
was strike. Sheridan looked at the mat
ter IN different light, however. rendered
his decisions accordingly, and the audience
sustained him. He has given entire salts

IS hardly probable that he will fall down IN
his business at this late day. McNaDb is a
lrSt-class pitcher. IS thoSe who have seen
him at work readily admit, but there are
times when the best OF them cannot get the

probably show In better form later on.
Jack Darrah accepted all his chances
at third, and sends good line throw to
first. he also got his eye on the bsll and
lined out couple OF hits.
Pap Lytle, the star twirler of the team,
failed to make hit, but he managed to

twice hit by the pitcher. he had but one

chances he gave ample evidence that he
