Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1891-07-14

holiday match between grocery clerks for a
box of herring.
The Chants had their batting clothes on yes-
terday at Chicago and gave Hutehison a hard
drubbing. while the home team could not do
anything with Rusie except in the second in
ming, when he lost control OF the ball and gave
three men their bases on balls. Then Hutch
son smashed the bali into far center bring
ing in three runs, but was caught at the plate
himself. In the seventh inning Conner sent
the bali over the right field fence and down
the street half block. making u home run and
sending Richardson home ahead of him. II
was the longest hit ever made on the grounds
The Brooklyns got a line on Knauss in the
beginning OF the game in Cleveland yesterday
and pounded him hard. In the fourth inning
Gruber was put In to relieve Knauss. but it
made no difference to the Bridegrooms. In
this inning the home team got thoroughly de-
moralized. Between their numerous and fear
fully bad errors and the hard hitting of Wards
team the visitors relied up nine runs The
Spiders hit Terry hard at times. and with the
aid of errors by Daily and Pipckney gathered
in few runs. In the eighth inning Terry was
hat on the leg by ball from Johnson's bat and
Henning was put in.
LOUISVILLE TO BE PUT UP AT AUCTION.
The Louisville Base Ball Club will be sold at
auction in a few days. The Falls City Bank
which failed last week. had a sc, 900 mortgage
on the club which had never been foreclosed.
1t Ia now announced that the mortgage will be
realized on at once. The present directors of
the club have stated that they will not advance
another cent and 1t is not known who will buy
the club. The club is very much in debt and
playing bad ball and it will be hard to find a
purchaser.
BALL NOTES.
st. Louis today.
Twenty-Five hundred were present
Slattery deserves a fine for not sliding at the
plate. but he was safe.
freeman and McGil will probably face each
other in the box today.
Alvord accepted all but two of eleven chances
and hit for base.
Hoy played a great game at The bat. making
four hits out of six times at the bat and three
runs.
There were five hundred folks present at the
Boston league game in Cincinnati yesterday.
Nelly has the people with him.
Big jim Davis would have stood about a
minute of Fuller's nonsense yesterday and the
game would have gone on without him.
The st. Louis Browns do some great sacri-
fcing when it is necessary. and that is one
reason why they win SO many games. They
play all together
The sad and woful lack of right fielder
was made painfully apparent yesterday several
times when balls were allowed to drop
safely In that territory that should have been
caught.
1t is all nonsense to excuse Dailv's bad play-
right fielders of the visiting teams do not show
up SO. and they occupy tie same place. If the
field is so rough as to make a man play like a.
boy then why not have it fixed with ali speed?
The "Boston House Jnniors''t 80 H. :,

nine and dew Drops" the Juniors made 4
hits of Holden Of the Dew Drops" instead OF

published.
There is talk of replacing Umpire Davis.
Some Of his critics use the most remarkable
language. One paper saws that he seem. to
lack frmness in his decisions. II there ever
was umpire who was refreshingly firm it is
Jim Davis. and to take him of for :. mar ill.,
Valentine would be farcicaI.
Foreman leads outbatting with An average
OF 307.
Bakely is up to his old tricks again and has
now been suspended by Baltimore for drinking.
Outticlder Fields has been released Inv pits
burg in the hope of so reducing expenses as to
enable the club to sign other men.
