The morning times., 1895-08-06

Ye Godsl What day OF despair It was
for the champions from the Monumental
City, who came over to wallop the lowly
Senators. They had their face high. A
No. / pitcher, who is famed far and wide
for the easy, off-hand manner in which he
disposes OF the would be batters in one, two
three order, and they rightly thought that
one more rung would be mounted in the
ladder on which hangs the pennant for
this season.
But they counted without their host.
Unknown 10 them, unknown even TO the
aggregation OF ball tossers, who playfully
beguiled away the morning hours on the
outskirts OF our fair city, a mascot had
been especially prepared for the occasion.
And such a mascotl Or, more correctly
speaking, mascotsi
Far Off in one corner OF the grand stand
where they were free from the prying eyes
OF the pale-faced ''Melican" man, sat two
slant-eyed, flat-nosed Celestials who worked
their charms ,hoodoos aud yoodoes under the
cover OF their long sleeves and chuckled al
the ingenuity OF the 'velly snlat Mclean
man Rolling Bill had given up two plunks
OF his hard-earped American coin for the
use OF their services for the afternoon.
DOWN WENT THE PITCHER.
Blu tas Bill sat on the bench and watched
the ouly "Scrappy" whack out three
baggers aud home runs with the ease OF q
10 mag Indian collecting scalps and ga W
the great Oriole pitcher go down and down
until he was utterly lost in the oblivion
OF pitched halls and base on balls ;, he thanked
his stars that he had opened his heart for
the good OF his brethren, and in the mean
time kept ii sharp eye on the heather to see
that they lived up to their contract and did
not make a move TO welch at a critical part
or the game.
The way Senators did up that poor
young chap from across the way would
have made the heart OF q Philadelphia
lawyer bleed with pity. They held out
lines for him ard gave him an idea that he
was going to strike some one out and then
bifr, right IN The snoot, and away the ball
went, and the bleachers would yell and
the players fall over themselves IN wild
attempts 10 see which way 1t had gone.
The laWmaker who had done the trick
would stop a moment to have a little chat,
and then, slowly trotting around the bases,
won IN the commonest kind of canter.
"Scrappy Bill'' was the hero of the day
not 10 mention the Ching Chong men-and
he was also the terror Of the enemy. Wait
! ing until he could get three men on bases
/ be would then lose the ball IN the shuttle
and do turn around the field
Abbey was not TO be left, and the first
time he got a whack at the stick he
| made connections with the ball in such
! an emphatic manner that it got fairly
well started and kept right on until IT
landed-weN, to tell the truth, it's hard
! 10 say just where IL did reach terra ffrma
but Charley" WIGS home and ready for
another when IL finally came to life.
I HE WAS NOT LIKED,
The long, lank, Diego looking chap with
the hGng-dog expression that gave him
the appearance of n cross between a high.
waymnn and q clergyman, but whom the
| Orioles utilized as a back-stop. got him
| self very much djsliked during the sour sc
of the game.
He has voice on him that should have
been hired out TO tug boat when he was O
| youngster, and n generai-ajr Of know-it-aI
that made him prime favorite -nit-froTr
the very start. Ii only remained for hin
70 give Mr.. Cartwright the foot when thai
gentleman was m6Kihg the home plate
and he was "nismma's baby boy" with tn
bleacherites from then on. They wouldn'
have done j thing 70 him If he hadn't pu
