The Washingtons outbatted the Pittsburgs
yesterday, having total Of fifteen bases on
hits. but lost the game by poor base running.
Mullane was out Of sorts In the opening
inning at Cincinnati yesterday and on his bad
pitching and bad decisions by the umpire the
Philadelphias made five runs in the FIRST inning
The Reds worked like Trojans TO catch up, but
could not make the runs.
The Brooklyns won two games from the
Chicago Colts yesterday afternoon and put
Washington back in seventh place iu conse-
quence. The first, a fourteen-inning contest,
was the prettiest game seen on the home
grounds this season. Each side scored one run
in the eleventh. Clean hits by Burns and
Griffin in the fourteenth sent in the winning
run. 1t was AS when the second game
called. The Colts found Hart easy but Ward
swung Haddock into the box in the sixth. after
his side had run the best of it. and won out
Cleveland had but little trouble in defeating
Baltimore yesterday. Six hits were punched in
the second and runs scored. The Orioles
hit well, but could not put their hits together
Burkett. Van Haltren and McAleer made bril-
liant catches.
Poor fielding lost the game for the Giants
yesterday at Louisville. Both pitchers were
batted freely, but the New Workers could not
handle the Colonies balls. Jennings and DOYLE
did brilliant work
Boston's champions gave an exhibition Of
their ability to slug the ball at ST. Louis yester
day. They jumped onto Breitenstein's pitching
in the second inning. and before they concluded
TO quit hitting the ball they had scored 6 runs.
Stacy retired in favor Of Nichols in the third
inning, and Mike Kelly relieved Bennett in the
seventh. About $500 persons witnessed the
contest.
The Chicago club has drafted Connors and
Decker. the second and first basemen of the
Joliet club. Decker viii be used at second and
Connors at short.
At last the Baltimore management have done
a wise thing-Curt WEIGH has been suspended
for dissipation. 1t should have been done two
months ago. Lenieut treatment OF his case has
done more to demoralize the Baitimores than
anything else. There could be no discipline
where the chief offender was allowed TO do
pretty much AS be chose.
The Cleveland club has signed GARRISON, the
pitcher.
After today Pittsburg will be playing the
stronger eastern clubs and Washington will be
meeting the weaker western clubs. vet it is
about an impossibiisy to dislodge the Pirates
from sixth place.
Manager Irwin is thinking Of releasing
Pitcher Knell Knell's trouble is in trying 10
avoid being hit. He, therefore. gives bases on
balls. This saves his record, but il is likely to
lose games.
F. d. Robson has abandoned the Fort Wayne
club OF the Western League. The club is now
being run on the cooperative plan. Robson
thinks the Western League is on its last legs.
Bassett has signed with Louisville.
The first championship season ends Just one

Mullane's place. !
Roger Conner Is quoted as saying that Ewing |
literally drove Keefe. Buckley, Bassett GLASS; /

York team in order to further IN some WAY his |
own private ends. Conner refers to the fact |
that ''Buck" displaced him at first base. that |
Keefe had to go TO give John Ewing q chance, |
that Bassett stood in the way Of Freddy" Mack, |
catching too brilliantly and was too great q |
favorite with the public, that Glasscock was
disliked by Mr.. Ewing personally and that
Richardson couldn't stand Bucks" imperious
commands. York Herald.
