BASEBALL CHAT.

IL ii dincult to say how many persons
saw anything about the second game
at Brooklyn yesterday afternoon that
came near their expectations. A silver
salve- on which to make the presenta-
ton OF the game to Baltimore would
have added eclat to the grand gift first
inning There were people among the
spectators who said emphatically that
the game was thrown" These were,
no doubt, New York "rooters," whose
disappointment was so dire as to over
come their better judgment, and who
we're chagrined at the thought OF the
Giants being pulled down the ladder by
such means. In the first game Ken
nedy pitched superbly, and hard luck
and the umpires yellow" judgment OF
pitched balls lost the game for the
Grooms. one decision by Emslie WAS
particularly rank. A pitched ball hit
Daileys bat as he stood at the plate.
Although the batsman had made no
motion, the umpire called 1t IA hunted
foul, or strike. In the next game ex-
actiy the same thing occurred to a Bal
umore. player. and IGmslie called II
foul" A general expression of who
is-it-and -where-d did they-get-h him. was
on the faces of all spectators when, in
the same game, a chubby youth saun-
tered to the box. Some thought 1t was
hucid, the new pitcher, but the name
may be a fair twirler. but he was
plainly ratified before he began, and 1t
was wretched error to let him go In
against sss ms! such people, Baltimore ratified
pitch little bit. Then. with full bases,
Daub, who has had no practice, was
put In and his first bali was a wild
pitch. which sent in two runs. After
playing listlessly throughout, and max
ing no effort In the field McCraw's
nome run was worth three bases, at
most. and Reltz's hit to right should
have been a single but for Burns's lei
surely gait.

yet Ii must be confessed that the Giants

far the best work Of the afternoon and
three runs. But he couldn't overcome
the lead the Senators had of 9 to 8
when he went in in the sixth inning.

These are vital days for the New
Yorks. and the men ought not to re-
main idle IL there's the slightest chance
on earth of their getting into the game
Meekin had sore finger and kept
telling Davis that he couldn't grip the
ball When Ward heard him say SO
he put German in. Lester was bait ed
for six runs and seven hits. that's all
and one inning was enough of him.
Then 1t was that Westervelt went in.
1t was n hard game to let Washing

Boston's defeat was coming over the
wires and also the news of Baltimore G

It's vexatious, though, to have good
men stricken down just when they're
needed most.
