The morning times., 1895-08-17

They say Baltimore is a slow old town.
Maybe she is in some thinGs-nlaybe in
many things.
But when the array OF baseball talent
from our suburb took the field at National
Park yesterday afternoon. they did it with
theairofmen who hadasetintention.
The Washington men looked well, felt
well and performed well. They made no
serious mistakes, such as usually bring down
the wrath Of the baseball crapks. TheE
tried hard and played good bali. But it
was not strong enough or good enough TO
win. The other fellows played better
The natural antipathy OF the occupants
OF the bleachers TO anything foreign, and
especially anything from Baltimore, showed
itself in spots during the progress of the
game. Umpire Murray did not take long
10 get himself disLked by imaginary favors
extended TO the visitors. There were a few
people who wanted him killed, but he got
off alive. Twice foul tiT,iit the umpire.
Once he was laid up for minute or two.
This drew out much rejoicing and partially
alleviated the pain brought on by the idea
That the home boys were getting the worst
OF things.
HEARTBREARING CAME EARLY.
The early part of the game was where the
heart breaking came in TO the home team and
their friends. That able bodied and belIig,
erent athlete, Bill Joyce, who has been
performing miracles with the stick of late,
and whose appearance was awaited with
to begin with. He took his stand at the
plate as though he were going to do some.
thing, but he didn't. He made a swish
with the bat that missed, hit couple of
fouls, and then sent the ball straight at
Eeeler, who accepted it pleasantly, and Bill
retired amid the groaus OF his admirers.
Mcclure and SeIbaCh followed Bill in quick
order, and here was the starting of long
siege Of unproductiye work-for the Sena-
tors.
The Washington men shook themselves
savagely, spat upon their ha nds, and pro-
ceeded TO the field. 1t looked as though
they intended to return no good for the
evil done them. But they relented. If
they hadn't it wouldn't have made much
difference. The orioles got their eye
right on handsome MIR. Mercer's curves,
aud they drubbed him enioyably.
McGraw went to first on hit TO right
field, and the sturdy Keeler came forward,
club in hand Murray called d ball, then
a strike, aud with the third one came a
charm. KeeIer let drive, the ball started
FOR a long voyage, aud he made the entire
circuit OF the bases on what was really a
single. This ended the harvest for the
time being Jennings, Kelly, and Gleason
went out in succession.
A SHORT INNING.
Big Bill Hassamer, he who roars, opened
proceedings for the Senators this time
He hit the ball gently aud went to his
base because of a scaly sort Of throw
by Hemming He reached second after
a protracted struggle, but there he died.
Crooks, Boyd, and Scheibeck could do
nothing for themselves, much less for Bill
Now we. come to the point where the
real downright sadness OF the whole thing
comes in. Brodie went out and Clarke came
up. The belachers had it, loads of it, in
for the slim and slippery man.
They hadn't.eorgotten how Clarke used
Cartwright, and they went at him with all
kinds OF aggravating thrusts But Clarke's
head is level He smiled benignly, and
after three balls and one strike had been
registered he cut loose and sent the leather
buZZing along into right center and trotted
leisurely to first
After this the Orioles pounded Mercer
hard all through the inning and retired
with eight more tallies to their credit,
nine in all, McGraw, Keeler, Jennings,
Kelly, Clarke, Carey and Hemming all
scoring.
AS for the Senators, their part of the
run-getting up until the seventh inning
can be told briefly. They didn't get any
They tried hard enough, and hit the bali
often enough, but there was always an
Oriole in front Of it.
HERE'S A RELIEF.
In the seventh the Senators made hay.
Crooks came up, hit straight at Kelly and
went TO first Boyd got his base on balls,
and Crooks got SECOND. Scheibeck struck
out
Then Abbey too - -.''- He h't
hard one that boz .s ana Boyd
