Games To-day.

One of the aggravatiUg incidents OF the
Senator'S forty-seTenth defeat is that
there is no particular kick coming to any
one for the unhappy result.
The game was well, even brilliantly,
played on both sides, the pitching. batting,
and fielding scores even. except a base
hit 10 the good for the locals. Washing
toms one error did not affect the score, and
though Mr. Hunt was again guilty of Il
decision that rose to the dignity of a
capital offense. that also cut no ice in
the final settlement.
The fact is, New York had a shade the
best luck, and If they were superior at
any point IL was in more thoroughly and
cOurageOusly running out their hits. In
deed, they We're almost reckless, but it
was by taking desperate chances that
Farrell stretched single into a double
in the second inning, and was thus enabled
TO take advantage of Hassamer's muff
on Mcckin's fly, and score on the next
play.
Being at second be could have reached
third had HassameT held the ball, and
therefore Bills error is not responsible for
the run, which was really the critical point
in the game.
HASSAMER NOT GOOD AT THIRD.
Selbach could without doubt have gone
home on his triple in the fifth, but good
judges also thought it wise to hold him
at third. Had he made the trial tie
would have resulted. All the same it is
not good judgment to send Hassamer to
the third base coaching box. Whether
right or wrong in this particular case
there are half a dozen men on the team
who can turn round three times to Bilrs
once and give him loads of weight in a
thinking handicap. he has just about as
much judgment on base running as a
Quaker about prize fighting, and there is
no sense in. allowing him to display his
large stock of misinformation in that
locality.
There seems to be no trouble about
Meekin's arm just now, and ir New York
has any pitcher for sale with that pat
tern of glass ware about them Mr.. Wagner
ght be glad to refund a snug bit OF that
$500 ia exchange for him.
Jouett was a stonewall against hits or
runs, except in two innings, seven out OF the
nine plunEs came in the fourth and fifth
and eight Senators famed large holes
in the ether in wild attempts to reach
his shoots Crooks claimed three OF these
badges OF honor; aud two Of them came
when hit would have scored two runs.
NO FELLOW CAN FIND OUT.
Why a player who has not made hit
in two days and struck out four times in
seven turns at the bat should persist in
/ trying to kill the ball with two men on
bases and one out aproblemthatis sending
men TO St Elizabeth every day. A bunt
might at least have sent a man to third, and
couldn't have been worse than a strike
out.
During the seven innings in which Meekiu
was moving down the Senators only one
attempt was made to play the game
| Since it s generally believed that each
man takes his batting orders from Mr..
| Schmelzas sheEoes to the plate, why wouldn't
/ it be wise for GUstavus tovaTy the nonotony
| occasionally by telling them TO take a rest
4 on the home run business?
Anderson was hit freely at first, but i'm
] proved as the game went on, and Butler
| was the only man TO make q hit or reach
! first after the fifth inning.
The fielding on both sides was excellent.
! Doyle and Farrell did the best work for
the visitors, ard the stocky captain was
fierce full OF fight, and had as many sharp
| points sticking out as a carload OF thistles.
Fuller also had several hard plays aud
Butler was guilty Of the violent death Of
| O three-bagger which 6chiebeck started
