BASEBALL CHAT.

PtttsburR was brought early In yester-
days game to a realization of the wide
d'ssimilarity between League baseball
and college football. In the first inning,
when Kinslow caught Scheibeck tobog-
gaming to second the latter, seeing he
was out, attempted foul tackle to
throw Daily off the base. Tom would not
be cast aside. and the umpire was i'm
pervious to the menacing gestures of the
entire Smoky City aggregation. The
visitors play was not so woolly after
that little episode.
Pittsburg's one run was a gift, owing
to KinElows ambitious attempt to field
a ball that should have been handled by
Kennedy.
Mr.. Beckley was righteously rebuked
for boisterous and unnecessary coaching
while the bases were empty. Such out
breaks are calculated only to rattle the
pitcher; besides there is a rule against
II. This same player. by the way,
coaches loudly from his position. at first
This latter ruse is evidently intended to
augment the pitchers skill in phazing a
batter. Mouth baseball is not so popular
In Eastern Park as 1t may be elsewhere.
"Lew-e-e-er' cried the Pittsburg rooters
on the pavilion seats as Bierbauer cut
lswaths of atmosphere.
McQuaid did not consider Foutz's tre-
mendous length when he caught Days
poor throw OF Lyonss grounder. Dave
really had one foot on he$bag. although

That play at second was a trife yellow.

Mike Griffin is getting back to FORM
He is covering the entire back lot again,
just as ne used to do.
Glasscocks kick of Kennedy's hit In
the direction OF second base would have
been a neat piece of strategy had 1t not
been seen from the coaching line.
The Harvard ball team is again badly
handicapped for the big games which
weeks. and OMaiiey's right hand was so
severely hurt In the game on Wednesday
that he will not be able to catch for some
time. Corbett has had no practice and
is not In form to hold Highlands In the

tior of ump!rlng yesterday. His concep-
ton Of balls and strikes Is ludicrous, and
his decisions at the bases are bad. Aside
from this he has little or no control over
the players Both Of his rulings regard
ing Doyle yesterday were blinky. Jack
was caught ten feet away from Dahlen's
corner In his attempt to steal third, but
swartwood declared him safe. He got
good and even. however. by declaring
Jack out at the plate after the first base

deeison when Davis stole third. pahlen

Swartwood made an effort to call down

After an expressive silence the crowd
began to guy Swartwood The latter

shouting at the umpire.

In six innings of yesterdays game
| only eighteen men faced Rusle. and in
the other three only thirteen players
were at the bat. The Hoosier boy
pitched a great game. and received good
support.
Doyle WINGED every time he caught
the ball yesterday. His arm was far
from we'll.
