Notes Of the Game,

Notcs OA inc ua"os
While the Phillies presented patched-up
nine yesterday, the fact that the Senators were
somewhat out Of alignment should not be lost
sight Of. Meakin was hardly in condition to
pitch and Wise at third was out of position.
1t is Q glorious fact that tho local pitchers are
hitting the ball very hard and timely. Meakin's
hitting yesterday kept pace with Esper's Of the
day before.
1t is All extremely lucky team that the god
dess OF luck showers favors upon continually.
The Phillies are not baking in the sunshine Of
that ancient lady's favor at present writing.
Joe Mulvey's game this year has been equal
| to the best Of the third basemen. but an extra
| exertion to make play appears TO tear the
poor fellow to pieces. That he may rapidly re-
cover his good form is the wish Of all
Meekin can pitch q ball, according to Charley
Farrell, as swift as any man in the league, and
the ball that struck Vickery in the face yester-
| day was one Of his hardest Had 1t struck him
| squarely the chances are he would have had his
skull fractured.
Several medical students down in the front
row Of the grand stand were kept busy vester-
day looking after the ills that befei the players
| Of the Philadelphia team.
Snyder is not q home umpire and couldn't be
IL he wanted to, as he is not built that way, but
he tries to do his best and to unbiased eyes
does we'll.
The tail-end clubs did the winning Yesterday,
| and as Pat would say, "How are we 10 get out
| Of eleventh place If they keep it up?" They
can't take the first six positions bodily. Now,
| il Chicago and Baltimore would kindly let 60
for few games We might shin up the pole q
little ourselves
"scrappy" Joyce would come In mighty
handy just now. With Mulvey sick he could
fill the latterb place nicely and help out with
| the stick.
Those who excuse the Phillies BY saying that
they played out of position should remember
that third base is Cross old position and Sec
| ond base that Of Delahanty. The fact Of the
matter is that Carsey's pitching lost the game.
Sullivan was accused Of poor coaching yester-
| day by some because he sent Hoy homo on his
three-bagger, which was badly fielded in. Sui.
Ivan was all right It was q desperate chance
that would have succeeded nine times out OF
| ten. Anyway. Hoy would have made II II he
hadn't hesitated at third.
The Crippled Senators.
Maui fell on his knee yesterday while fielding
Q ball, quite badly injuring 1t, and was unable
| to 60 in the box, as was intended.
| Mulvey is laid off sick
Wise has q badly injured arm, caused by
wild pitch by Killen at Pittsburg.
Esper will pitch for the local team this after
| noon. The team will play as it did yesterday.
The wisdom Of the Wagners in securing
substitute infelder has been demonstrated.
To Prevent Undue Boisterousness.
| "The commendable stand taken by TIL
STAR in reference to the hooting at players
boisterous, profane and obscene language BY
those who infest the bleachers back of frs
base, much to the discomfort Of the bes
patrons Of the game, is to be put into prao
tical operation by tho Washington Base Bal
Club, says Manager ORourke. Notices hav,
