Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-06-21

,nonv resnects. n disorderly game. Twice it
was called on account of rain, and these
stopparcs caused ii to be carried ON 1or near
" three hours. And then there was any
amount of kicking at the umpire, and nearly
a bare fist set-to between two OF the Cln-
cinnati players. And, still more, there was
some lively hitting, and beyond all, any
amount of the most ridiculous errors.
Quite Noisy Lot.
The Reds are quite q boisterous lot when
they get started, and the noise and antics OF
Latham keep everybody from becoming
sleepy. But it was evident yesterday that
there is quite an absence of brotherly love
among the Reds. In one instance Long John
Reilly drew back his arm to smash" Holt
dav in the field because the latter collided
with John when running for a fly. Hostili-
ties were extremely imminent between the
pair, but matters got smoothed down with
out the shedding of blood and bruised faces.
There was also any amount OF grumDHngs
and ugly exchanges of compliments among
the Reds. and altogether they seemed to be
at cross purposes.
Yesterday was not a baseball day as far as
the weather was concerned. Before the
game heavy rain showers fell and when the
game started the clouds were extremely
threatening. When the fourth inning was
reached and the local team IN the Lead
the rain came down hard and the WIND
blew violently. The game was called, and
when Umpire Battin ordered the proceed
ings to he resumed Latham was very w1athy
But the game was resumed, and, after the
home team had done a little more damage
in the way of run getting, Latham kicked
again because of the rain and the game was
called again. The game wns resumed the
second time and continued to the end. But
despite the unfaVorable weather, there were
l,620 people present.
As already stated, the game was an eI-
tremely poor one. The grounds were in a
very bad condition and brilliant fielding was
out of the question. The pitchers did not do
extremely well, but they did not do very
bad. Baldwin seemed to lack that ginger
that usually chaTacteriZes his play, and he
gave bases on balls at critical stages. Still
he was not hit very hard.
Rhines a Little Of.
Rhines was not in his best form, but he re-
ceived most wrctched support. 1t was, in
deed, bad enough to dishearten very cour-
ageous man. At one time in the fifth inning
it looked as if he was really trying TO allow
every man who went to bat to knock the
ball out of the lot. The opinion prevailed
that this was being done to prolong the in
ming III hope that the impending rain would
fall.
Umpire Battin was again too lenient with
the players. He allowed too much ia
miliarity, and this encouraged many of them
10 kick about almost anything or every
thing He did fine keenan, $40 for objecting
to a decision on a strike. But Mr.. Battin
should he firmer and matters will not be so

base by Harrington let in the two runs

They Tied the Score Again.
