THREW A GAME AWAY.
Capt. Richardson Didn't Play Yesterday and
the Visitors Had "Picnic."
HOW THE CLUBS STAND.
Just whv Manager Irwin did not don a uni

to shift for itself, and with no responsible head
or coaching worthy the name the team drifted
| down to defeat. Then it also cause for
wonder why knell was not taken from the box
when it how wild he was True he was
not hit hard but he sent eight to first on balls
really equal TO eight base hits. Under the rules
/ only two hits are scored against him. Five runs
were scored by the visitors in the first two in
nings without hit being made. Seven bases
ON balls and RObinson's fine large error caused
the disaster. Robinson is the prize Irwin drew
in exchange for Hardie Richardson il will be
remembered. 70 his credit it may be said that
he is practicing faithfully this year and in the
morning plays great game. He is said to
'eat mp" grounders and fatten on liners. He
Is said to have taken big brace since last year.
OF course every one is glad TO know this, for he
has been a great PLAYER in his day, but it does
! seem to local ball cranks that "Robbie" should
go to some minor league for his practice. The
National League is trihe fast for him.
knell is great pitcher, undoubtedly, but
yesterday was not down on his calendar. He
/ showed this in the first inning. Mr.. Irwin
! doubtless feared to hurt his feelings by taking
him out. OF course, he would have had to put

Five runs in the first on balls and Robinson's
muff of Milligan's throw to second to catch
runner. Then the visitors earned two in the
fifth. Virtue singing and scoring on Davis home
run to center.

was uncalled for. Davies had kept the hits scat

The Eastern Base Ball League held meeting
at Syracuse last night. The clubs represented
were Albany, Troy, Syracuse. Rochester, FL
mira and Binghamton. New Haven. Providence
Philadelphia and Buffalo absent. The
meeting was private and at its close President
c. ID. White said that the question. the salary
limit, had been considered, but as four clubs
were absent no action had been taken on it.
That means that each club VIII maintain the
same salary list that it had previous to the
meeting. According 10 President Whites salary
list. recently made out, Providence. Rochester
TROY and Albany were all above the salary
limit. Mr.. White would say nothing more for
the press. but it is presumed that if clubs over
the limit allowed to stay there others that
are below can exceed it. and it probably means
an adjustment of the salary limit altogether.
Fielder Swartwood late of Pittsburg, was as
signed 10 Syracuse.
