LATE SPORTING NEW S
Washingtons Found Germans Delivery
Easy and Hit Hard and Often.
John Wards Unfortunate Change In
ON the Turf-ROvv At Pfttsburx.

| The New York Base Ball Club Is well
supplied with pitching talent this year and
doubtless Capt. Ward feels that he has
| twirling material to spare. Perhaps 1t was
| for this reason that he was lavish with
| mis- pitchers yesterday. He tried his best

| thousand or SO of spectators, and he sue
ceeded fairly we'll Jouett Meakin was sent
in first to twirl the sphere. and when Capt.
Ward found that the Washington players
| were not tickled to death with his deliv-
| cry he kindly called the ex-senator out of
the game and generously substituted Mr..
German for the fifth innirg The score
was then a tie. 3 to 3.
Mr.. German has a very pretty habit of
posing for the bleachers, and his style of
delivery is beauteous and picturesque in
| the extreme. He lasted Just one inning, and
| 1t Is understood that he left immedia tely
after that inning for the mountains to re-
cuperate. Eleven men in the Washington
uniform faced him, and in the expressive,
though inelegant phrase of the diamond,
they swatted him to all corners of the field
Seven old-fashioned base hits came out of
the prize box ard it was probably through
sheer fatigue that the inning was ended
by Capt. Joyce striking out.
This brought the score into a condition
that seldom confronts a Washington ball
crank, with the home team six runs 70 the
good, and Mr. Ward-John MONTGOMERY
concluded that he would vary the exer-
cises tri1e by letting the Senators have
a go at WeStervelt. This young man did
very Wei, and but three more runs were
made during the game The Statesmen had
enough practice with these three pitchers
to last them month, but there were some
greedy spectators who were even sorry
that the score was not tied in the ninth so

Joyce made an effort to return the ccmpii-
ment to Capt Ward by putting up about
as rocky game at third base as has been
seen here for some time. The, first two
balls hit went through him like tooth
pick through a piece of cheese and in the
ninth inning. with two out and a man on
hrst, he went way out of his territory in
