them, and there were few incidents during
the contests which served to amuse the
cranks considerably.
Some Very Unreasonable Kicking.
While the visitors had no show whatever
of winning, they freely INDUCED in abusing
the umpire as a means of drawing attention
from their poor playing. Umpire Mitchell
Is a new starter, and the players knowing
this take the most unreasonable liberties.
There was sample of this in the second
game YESTERDAY. The Baltimores only got
four safe hits during the game, while the
home PLAYERS banged the bali away 16 times
safely, including three home runs and vet
the visitors had the nerve to blame the
umpire for robbing them Of the game. The
fact is they didn't know what they were
kicking about, because some of them were
arguing for one thing and others were argu-
ing in quite an opposite direction. Umpires
must be more emphatic in dealing with
rowdv PLAYERS. McGraw used some very
offensive language and was ordered
out of the game, but the umpire allowed
him to stay in. McGraw and Halligan were
each fined, but the former should certainly
have been sent to the bench.
The attendance was not as big as on

Features of the Morning Game.
The morning game was one of the very
tedious and uninteresting kind. One or
two brilliant PLAYS prompted some enthusi-
asm, but it soon died away until the eighth
inning was reached when a little careless
ness by Baldwin gave the visitors an excel
lent chance to win. When Mark is playing
with much the best of it he invariably be-
comes reckless and before he knows where
he is he finds himself in difficulties. In the
inning named be began to pitch up some
''easv" ones and two runs were scored in
very short order. A man was put out and
then the bases were filed. Of course this
caused lots of shouting because the crowds
svmpathies had gone towards the visitors in
consequence Of Baldwin's little careless
ness. But the visitors couldn't win at that
Stricker and Shindle made brilliant
catches; Bierbauer felded well and Shugart
made one or two very fragrant errors. Nc
Mahon was hit hard and he did not pitch a
winning game BY any means
In the second inning Mack led off with a
fine single to middle field and Elmer Smith
followed on with rattling liner over
Welsh's head for clean home run.
Quite a Lively Inning.
The third inning was a lively one. Bier
bauer led off with a single and Shugart got
his base on balls Beckley made safe
bunt filling the bases. Mack knocked an
easy fly to Welsh and Smith got his base on
balls forcing in a run. Farrell made safe
inneld hit scoring Shugart and Corkhill's |
single scored Becllley.
In the second half, after Mcmahon was
out, Shindle reached first on Shugart's |
tumble and got to second on Van Haltren's |
sacrifice. Halligan' single scored Shindle,
and Schock's single aided by Baldwin's |
muff OF a thrown ball scored HalIigan.
In the fourth. after Baldwin had struck |
out, singles by Miller and Bierbauer; wild |
throws bv Gunson and Welsh; base on |
balls and single by Mack scored two more |
runs.
In the eighth, for the visitors, Shindle |
led off with double, Van Haltren followed |
with a three-bagger to the right center fence |
scoring Shindle, Halligan's sacrifice scored |
Van Haltren, Shugart's tumble sent Schock |
to first, Welsh got a single and Hanlon got |!
his base on balls filling the bases. Stricker |
forced Hanlon out at second, Schock scor- /
ing and Gunson went out at first retiring |
the side. Robinson started to catch for the |
visitors, but had his finger split in the |
second inning and retired without having |
had anv chances.
About the afternoon Argument
The afternoon game was much too one
hiueu W pe Interesting, ds tue NlSlIOrS never /
had the ghost of show to win. Terry had |
them completely at his mercy, ands for six
innings not one of them reached first base
On the other hand, Foreman, who pitched |
for the visitors, was quite an easy mark, 16 |
hits being made off his delivery, including
three home runs, a three-bagger and
double. Altogether, nine of the ten runs
made by our sluggers were earned, and that
shows that tall slugging was the order of
the day.
In the first inning Bierbauer knocked the
ball TO the left field fence and when he
landed on the home plate the thrown ball
struck him on the head. He was consider
ably stunned but managed to continue the
game 1t is needless to tell the story of
the run getting.
The visitors got their first run in the
seventh inning After two men were out,
Halligan hit slow pitched ball thump
knocking it clean over the right fence for
home run. Ternan of the New Yorks is
the only other man who has accomplished
such a feat Two singles and base on balls
filled the bases in the eighth inning, and
Terry forced in a run by giving another base
on balls. The scores:
