Foreman pitched a good game Of ball yester-
day at National Park, but the home team lost
to the Athletics through poor coaching and
| stupid base running. Three runs were pre-
vented in the second inning by sharp infeld
playing by the Athletics and Murphy's run
! ming to third when man was on that base.
Buck Freeman. pitcher Of the Wilkesbarre
Club, has signed to play with the Nationals.
| Louisville made sufficient errors in the first
| inning to allow Columbus to win yesterday.
The Browns were not in it yesterday in st.
Lonis with Dwyer in the box for the Reds.
kelly's men played a magnificent game. John
| ston made one of the finest running catches ever
seen on the grounds, while Caravan and Robin
| son excelled in their respective positions.
The Bostons and Phiiiies yesterday in Phila-
delphia playeda close and exciting game. The
home club punched their hits nicely in the fifth
inning for two runs and secured the victory.
The fielding was brilliant and the game
abounded with line plays.
The Brooklyns could not do much with Rusie
yesterday Terry, for the Brooklyns. was hit
hard by the Giants in the second and third
innings and was relieved by Hemming, who
held the visitors down to hits and run after
the third inning. In the second inning Terry
was hit safely four times. gave three bases on
balls and made one wild pitch. This, with Col
Inns error. gave the New Yorks runs. Hard
hitting, Wild pitch and Wards error gave the
Giants 4 runs in the third.
A.. Calvin aud Baldwin of the Pittsburgs were
soft marks for the Cleyelands Yesterday GAL
win was hurt in the fourth inning by trying to
stop hot grounder that Mexican banged at
him and Baldwin relieved him. The local team
was in great form Yesterday, batting and field
ing IN grand style all the way through. The
Pittsburgs managed to get on to Young in
couple of innings and punched their hits for 5
runs.
The Chicagos outplayed the Cincinnatis at
all points yesterday. Tho Chicagos punched
their hits In the first and seventh innings and
earned four out of their i've runs. The On
cinnatis could not hit Luby at all.
1t Is striking fact that nearly all the for-
tunate occupants of high positions owe their
success to one great pitcher who is doing the
greatest share Of work Boston has Haddock.
St. Louis. Stivetts: Baltimore. McMahon; New
York. Rusie, and Chicago. Hutchinson. Lous-
vile is the only team in the association which
can be called weak after the changes and de-
velOpments of two months while in the League
Philadelphia and Cincinnati have both deserved
that Observation-Disclosures Sun.
Callahan and McKeough were Yesterday re-
leased by the Athletics at their own request.
Neither cared about playing on the bench.
Cleveland lacks pitchers and is weakened by
Third Basenian Tebeau's disability. Exchange.
And the once great Denny is covering third.

COVERING FOR THE BLEAcHERIEs
The board of aldermen of New York
passed yesterday the resolution requiring the
bleaching boards of the Polo grounds to
be protected byar awning or shed within thirty
days, and imposing fine Of 800 day for nom
compliance The committee on fire depart
ments and buildings made a report in which
they declared: "Those who cannot afford to
pay Is cents for admission should not be forced
to Ieapordlze their health and suffer inconven-
fence as penalty for their impecuniosity."
MANAGER SNYDER TO REMAIN.
Director Scanlon is pretty well satisfied with
the composition Of the home team. which he
says is playing good ball as any club in the
association. The last game in Baltimore be-
lonSed to the Nationals, and was taken from
them by the umpire. Mr.. Scanlon says, John
son being allowed to make a triple when he
was really out on strikes. and in fact so con-
fessed afterward. Yesterdays game should
also have been won by the Nationals How
ever. with possibly one change. it is likely that
the composition OF the team viii remain I'M
changed until the close of the season. There
may, OF course, be new men in the box. but
the bases and field are covered they will be
| throughout the season. McQuery will soon re-
/ turn to first, allowing Hines to re-
turn to center. This will put Beecher
on the bench, for it can hardly be asserted that
he Is better In the field than Hines or Murphy.
Alvord has returned to third and put up a good
game there. though his batting il not above
par. As to the,management, no change is con-
| templated. Manager SNYDER is booked to re-
main. At any rate no change would be made
! by the directors while under fire." All sorts
| of reports without any basis for them have
been circulated. The story OF habitual s.crap''
| playing on the part of the manager and the
players when the latter should have been at
practice Is denied. II is also denied Ina,
Snyder is interfered with in the mana cement.
1t is claimed that he has been allowed free SWAY
and that no directorial dictation has been in
dulged in.
The idea Of a base ball PLAYER being too
| Is lunny, very 1unny. such q rare ami
mai should be sent to the zoo.
| AMATEUR BASE BAIL.
The University Of Virginia nine defeated the
c. A c. nine Of this city yesterday at Char
iottesville by II to 8. The game was interest.
ing, but too one sided to be exciting. The best
piece of fielding was a fine double play by
Abbott, Thurman and A. Greenway OF tho
homo team. In the sixth inning Wright, the
catcher for the visitors, struck BY hot
ball on the knee cap, and soon afterward his
finger was sprained, necessitating u change o,
batteries and positions generally. The uni
versity boys leave July for an extended trir
to several states Base hits, Columbia. s: Uni
versity, 5. Errors, Columbia. z; University, 5
Batteries, Columbia, Fitzsimmons and Wright
Sprigman and Bouehe; University, McGuir,
and Greenway.
The W. L. 1. game on Monday was played a
Association, not Anacostia Park, as printes
yesterday.
