Base Ball Notes.


It IL not often that base ball player Is led of
the field by an escort Of police, but that is what
happened during the St. Cincinnati game
yesterday afternoon. Vaughn, the Cincinnati
catcher, was the player who brought humilia-
ton on himself. The scene occurred in the
fifth inning. Brodie was running toward home
and Vaughn blocked his way. There was u COL
hsion just as the ball reached the catcher
hand. Vaughn turned on Brodie and, picking
up bat. flung it at his head. Brodie made a
Cash for him, but was held back by Umpire
McQuaid. The Browns lined up to a man and
went after Vaughn, who was making toward
the players bench to, procure another bat. Wer-
den was the only brown leg to disgrace himself
He threw a bat ut the catcher, which struck
him in the back. Vaughn turned from the
aggressor to the hunted one and tried to escape
from the grounds A Waterman stopped him.
Capt Quinn and Umpire McQuaid held back
the players. Vaughn was fined s25, and two
policemen led him of the grounds amid the
jeers of the crowd. The game, aside from this
sensational feature, was very exciting, three
men being given a base in several innings. The
attendance was 500.
Despite the counter attraction of the big race
yesterday big crowd Of over 1000 persons
attended the base ball game between Brooklyn
and Baltimore at Eastern Park, Brooklyn.
They were repaid by seeing q remarkably close
and well-played game. Brooklyn winning.
Three double plays marked the days play

caught a line drive from Corcoran's bat and
doubled up Richardson at first. Danny himself
and Corcoran doubled up o couple of the ORR

himself by catching a twisting pop-up fly from
Clark's bat, and then, touching third, put out
Reitz, who had started for the home plate
What there was of the batting was exciting.
McMahon and Robinson only offciated in the
first inning.
An old-time crowd attended the opening
game of the season between Boston and New
York at the South End Park, Boston, yesterday.
Gov. Russell and other state and municipal
dignitaries were present. The Bostons won the
game hands down in the sixth inning when
they punched three hits, with a combination of
wild pitching on the part of Crane and rank
errors by Davis, Fuller and Doyle. Aside from
this inning the fielding on both sides was SUI
perb. Carroll, Ward. Nash and Long excelled
in the inheld. Doyles throwing to second was
superb. The New Yorks outbatted their oppo-
nents and only good outdelding kept their score
down. The attendance was 5000.

of it with Hutchinson at Chicago yesterday
afternoon, hammering his curves at will

touched. The Colts were never in the hunt.
Dahlen went to second, Ryan to short and
Decker into left an experiment. The weather
was raw and cold. Attendance, 1900.
Al Maui has been resurrected and Is playing
ball again. He was a tremendously swift
pitcher when he first came here with Nashville
five or six years ago, and local fans remember
that he made the longest home run hit ever
seen at Sportsmens Park. Plttsburg bought
him, but he soon petered out as pitcher. Now
he is being used because Of his batting ability

Washington should win five Of the twelve
games played on this trip. Two should be
taken either from Philadelphia or New York
and one from each of the other clubs, that is.
estimating the pitchers of the opposing club to
be no better than they have been.
Today the Phillies will endeavor to take
another fall out Of Washington. Maui will
probably be in the box for the Senators and he
will doubtless do his best to down his old asso-
ciates. Carsey will be in the box for the home
club.
