Base hall Notes.
Steady there, Senators.
What game yesterdays at New York must
have been.
The New York papers are excusing the defeats
Of the Giants here by saying that the men were
''boozing' when here. They are just as foolish
now to think that the Giants have struck
winning gait"
One of the most exciting games of several
seasons was PLAYED between Boston and Brook
Ign at the South End. Boston, yesterday. 1t
required twelve innings to settle the supremacy
and all the enthusiasm crowded into the
last three. Stein and Stivetts pitched their
very best In the ninth inning Brooklyn made
a desperate effort to win the game by scoring
three runs on a single bv DAILY. a sacrifice by
Richardson, a double by Daley and errors by
Stivetts and Camel, the latter letting in two
runs by an excusable muff at the plate
In Boston's half OF the same inning Nc
earthly got his base on balls and Nash
drove the ball over the left-ield fence He
stayed on third to bother Stein, and Tucker kept
up the fun by making two-base hit bunt
by Lowe and a wild throw by Daley tied the
score. Burns led of with hit in the tenth
inning. A couple of bases on balls aud a sacri-
flee brought in run. Nash again tied the
score in Bostons half Of the tenth with a home
run. Neither side scored in the eleventh, but
In the twelfth an error by Carroll. sacrifice by
Burns and a hit by DAILY gave BROOKLYN the
winning run. The bes. Boston could do was to
get man on second. Attendance, $500.
The Cleveland team hit the ball right and left
yesterday afternoon, and that explains why
Cleveland won the game. Cincinnati could not
touch Ciarkson, and but for errors and bases
on balls would not have scored a run. In the
face Of the heavy batting Cincinnati played a
fine fielding game. Mckean's batting in the
last OF the game was hard and timely. Weather
clear and cool. Attendance, $500.
The st. Louis Browns Yesterday PLAYED very
poorly in the field, bnt won their victory over
Pittsburg by superior batting. The home team
took the lead early in the game and held it
throughout.
delphia club succumbed to the Baltimore team
Yesterday at Philadelphia in the presence Of
2, 457 spectators by the score of to3 The
game was well contested. Both teams PLAYED
nearly perfect game in the field. weighing and
McNabb were the opposing pitchers, and the
latter had the better OF 1t. Neither was hit to
any great extent, and had weighing had better
command Of the ball the score would have been
reversed
Kelly will report to the New Yorks for work
next Monday.
With the exception Of Sam Wise the Senators
made very poor showing in Thursdays game.
Wise, however. put up very creditable game
at second. He accepted nine chances without
an error, took part in two double plays and
mace one OF the three hits credited his team
The big second basemen plays with the same
vim and dash that charac teriZed his games with
the Boston team ten years ago and is the sharp
est player. by large odds, on the team. His
work proves that he is superior in many re-
spects to Lowe, the Present guardian Of second
base in Boston.-Ne,c York Times.
Pitcher Crane of York has been given a ten
day notice that his services were no longer re-
quired. Westervelt. New Jersey amateur. has
been offered a trial in the box, but he has not
yet decided to accept.
Capt. Stovey of the Baltimores has been
given his release by President Hanlon. and it is
probable that he will be signed by Brooklyn.
Stoyey's release means that o. Rourke will be
PLAYED permanently in left field. Stovev is
still valuable man for most clubs. but while
he fields The position well as O'Rourke, the
latter has thus far proved himself to be a much
better batsnan. Hanlon willing to retain
Stovey for an emergency man, but the captain
asked for his release. as he is anxious to plav
ball and not sit on the bench. Cincinnati also is
ANXIOUS to secure his services
Pitcher Hutchinson when asked his opinion
regarding tie increase of distance between the
plate and box said: 1T affects me very little.
| use no more speed than usual with straight
balls; but have to put on an extra twist on my
curves. The pitcher who uses Il slow curve is
at decided disadvantage. as the ball comes up
TO the plate As big as an ice wagon. This class
o. pitchers will be Effected. like the new dis
lance. AS for bunt hits. they can be folded bv
the pitcher as good as ever. except when the
ball drops in front Of the plate. In such a case
the runner is apt TO reach first easily"
