Patience is a virtue.

Patience is virtue.
That fact is as old as the hills, and base.
ball cranks ought to pay as much attention
to it as anv other portion of the community.
Only two championship games have been
PLAYED here vet, and the home champions
have been downed both times, but that does
not bv any means augur that defeat will
alwavs be their lot; or that it will even be
the share in the majority of cases. Only
have little patience. and when that which
is known as good FORM is reached these
other fellows who come here will be at the
beaten end.
Yesterdays game at Exposition Park was
tame one; tame mostly because the home
team wasn't in it as far as making an argu-
meut was concerned. Anson and his pupils
simply had nice and easy time; just as
pleasant as being at an enjoyable strawberry
festival. If they had tried to lose it is
probable that they could not have accom-
plished that difficult task. Why, to have lost
they would have had to merely sit on the bench
and allowed that very misguided gentleman
umpire Phil Powers, to call the game against
them.
There were two chief causes of defeat Of the
home players yesterday, and they were SO ap-
parent that the spectators. who numbered
probably 2, 500. could not we'll fail TO see them.
One was hat Staley, who pitched for the Pitts
burg representatives, was an easy victim for
Auson & Co.. while Mr. Hutchinson was, as a
pitcher a complete puzzer to the local batters.
Staley was in no form at all; therefore. 1t would
be fOolishness to make any extended comments
on his work IN the box. He could hardly man.
he la n
tact with the bats of the Chicago players. he
was far below his standard, and il is only fair
10 give the young man time TO get into pitching
huIuor The race is only starting.
On the other hand, Hutchinson was a riddle
that our big Sluggers could not at all solve.
But, because such singers as Browning. Beck
ley and Carroll could not md Hutch's measure
yesterday, it must not be taken for granted that
be is a wonder or that they are wind pound
ers" They will hit the ball and hit it often ct,
even with Mr.. Hutchinson doing the twirling.
1t would be fooliShneSS to expect that the big
hitters of the team can 90 on as they have done
in the two games PLAYED. They will certainly
get in line and wlfen they do, there will be op-
portunity to estimate with some exactness
where we stand as compared with others. But

Pitched Good Game.
There's no mistake about that. And it is also
a fact that Anson has a much better team than
many people are aware of. But when did the
chieItain have a bad one?
There was a very unpleasant dispute in the
game, resulting in Manager Hanlon being
dered out of the game by Umpire Powers. The
incident took place in the ninth inning, and
without a doubt Umpire Powers was mostly at
fault Dahlen knocked out 4 fly over second
base. HanlOn had good run to reach it, but
caught the bail about two or three inches from
the ground. Cooney. who was al second base,
had run home, thinking that Hanlon would not
get the bail. Hanlon could certainly have
thrown him out at the plate, but be, Hanlon,

teution of making q double play. Strange to
saw Powers declared that Hanlon had not
caught the fly at all. but had trapped the
ball. Hanion naturally objected to such an un-
fair decision as that, and walked in to explain
matters TO the umpire. The latter In a very
peremptoTy way, ordered the manager out of
The game, and lively scene followed among
the spectators.
In addition to retiring the manager from the
game Mr. Powers fined Hanlon $50. Half of
that was because Hanlon told Powers his deci-
sion was wrong and the other half was put on
because HanloD expressed himself plainly
about the first imposition. On Wednesday
Powers fined Beckley and Hanlon each $40 for
objecting TO Powers declaring Beckley out at
the plate in the famous seventh inning.
Browning was fined SIS yesterday, making alto

About the Umpire.
1t has ever been the policy of this paper to
demand respect and at least submission to the
decision of the uupire, but doubt Mr..
Powers was a little too hasty yesterday. HIS
decision was SO fagrantlv wrong-of course, ne
would think it WAS right-and Hanlon is SO un-
ouestionably truthful, that Mr.. Powers might
have been a little more tolerant. That he did
an injury TO HaulOn there is no doubt and be
could not well have made worse decision in
the matter than he did.
But previous TO that Mr.. Powers saddled a
fine on PietrO Browning 1Or kicking about a
decision on a strike. There is nothing like
tirmness but an umpire should not be So firm
as to be tyrannical.
The contest was too onesided to need ex-
PLANTATION IN detail. From the second inning
on, the home players had no show TO win. simply
because they could not hit the ball They
scored two runs on a hit by Reilly, sacrifice
hit and q base or balls and errors by Hutchin-
son and PfetfeT. In the second half the visitors
scored four runs on singles by COoney, Dahlen,
Kittridge and Foster, base on balls, an out
and an error by BierbaueT.
In the third double to center by Hutchn-
son, a single by kittridge and tumble by
Hanlon sent in another run. In the fourth
CoOney's two-bagEer and two sacrifice hits by
Dahlen and AnsOn scored another. In the fifth
pfeffer led of with triple to lefI, but Staley
struck out the next three men.
In the seventh inning Carroll knocked out a
home run into right field and in the eighth
Foster Ihunped the ball over Browning's head
for another homer" An error ey Hanlon and
singles by Coouey, Dahlen and Carroll scored
