Errors at critical points yesterday gave tAe
Boston champions an easy victory. The home
team put up clever fielding game in all but
the fifth inning. Then q few ERRORS combined
with sharp hitting gave the visitors i've runs.
Frank Killen was in the box and he pitched q
very good game, holding the hard-hitting Wis
itors down to five hits. Staley pitched for
Boston and he scattered the four hits made by
the home team. The visitors played such q
game that they would have won against any
club in the country.
The visitors runs were scored in the follow
ing manner:
Mccarthy took frs. on Richardson's mum Of his
sharp hit and Duffy forced Mac at second

cause of his weakness at the bat and Larry
Twitchell, the old timer from the Detroits, has
been engaged to take his place. Duffee has
been an earnest, hard-working player, fielding
brilliantly, and many will be sorry to know that
he has been released. He has been handicapped
by the very great expectations of his hitting,
having gained the name Of Home Run Duffee''
by his long hits year before last His long hits
this year have generally fallen into felders'
hands and he has certainly been playing In hard
luck. He is a capable, active energetic PLAYER,
lively on the bases and worth y dozen heavy
men.
Larkin returned to first Yesterday and made
= double.
washington's center field is hard place to
cover. Duffy Of the Bostons made an error
yesterday.
Ex-Manager Barnie will be made q league um-
pire. When men like Mitchell are released
there's not much hope for q man with backbone
to retain his place. Mr.. Barnie Is popular. gen.
temanly and firm and should be successful.
The base ball solons say that what Washing
ton needs is men who can both bat and field.
What a surprising discovery! The fortunate
person who found that out should certainly be
invited to participate in the fair Inauguration
The profound grasp Of the subject shown by
the utterance Of such u remark tempts one to
put the question, "Now, where are you going to
find these desirable men?' Name few Of them.
Before INDUCING in wholesale denunciation of
the local team it would be just to suggest where
better men can be obtained.
The Washingtons are not the on'- nine that
has been doing light hitting. On Saturday
Brooklyn failed to get hit off Stivetts. The
Chicagos' batting is very light, Ryan being the
only one on today's list Of forty-four leaders.
Dahlen is second on the team with 1855. Decker
and Parrot, Anson's phenomenons. have
batting averages of .202 and .141 respectively.
Thomas Dowse, until three weeks ago catcher
Of the Louisville club, will hereafter wear a
Cincinnati uniform.
There was not SO much smuggling in the league
last week as in the previous two, consequently
records have dropped week ago yesterday
there were three with 400 records and thirty
seven with 800. Today, says Clarence Dow In
yesterday Boston Globe. can find but twenty
nine in the 300 class. Kinslow leads with 1888
and Delahanty is No. with .S73. Dan
BrOuthers record is only 1928. Fuller has been
doing the best batting for New York, leading
with .3i6. Baltimore has three among the
first ten batsmen, Robinson, Van Haltren and
Tim U Rourke.
