Base Ball Notes.
Many persons had left the grounds at
Philadelphia on Saturday believing that the
game was lost. when the Quakers took
sudden brace and batted out seven runs,
winning lost game.
Cleveland may have secured a prize in
George Tebeau. but young Blake Is booked
to return to his place in right field as soon
as he is able.
st. Louis has been much weakened by the
less of Ely from short.
The Brooklyns won two games out of
three from the champion Baltimores, and
yet there were some enthusiasts in this
city who declared that the rain saved the
Brooklyns from defeat at Washington's
hands.
Baltimore seems to have a good one in
Pitcher Hoffer.. He kept the Brooklyns
down to six hits, and the fielders shut them
out.
McPhee has at last returned to second
for Cincinnati. but Holiday Is still away.
Ely has gone back to short for ST. Louis.
1t is said that Pfeffer yesterday played
his last game for Louisville.
The Colonies are putting up rafting
good game in the field but have the old
troube-cannot hit.
1t is pretty bad to begin the western trip
without a shortstop. Washington was
never so poorly equipped before.
Some of those grumblers who wouldn't be
satisfied If the club won a third of its
81 mes complain that Nicholson was not
given practice at short during the pre-
lfminary season, but was played at his
regular position - second - while Crooks
played third until Joyce Joined the team
The Senators have won a game! They
defeated the Rochester eastern League)
team yesterday by 16 to I, and played a
great game.
Some of the local fault finders are mean
spirited enough to say that the Washing
tons would make a good Eastern League
team.
1t doesn't take much to throw the average
Washington base ball rooter into the throes
of a violent attack of base ball fever
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Smiths home run In the tenth inning at
Pittsburg Saturday, brought victory for
the Pirates. The ball went clear over the
fence. Hawley proved himself a wonder.
In the ten innings he only gave the reds
two hits.
The West Point army officers defeated
the officers of New York harbor in a base
ball game. at West Point Saturday after
noon. by 20 to 10. The West Point Cadets
defeated the Peekskill Military Academy
team IA to 2.
Stocksdale was batted freely by the
Bostons on Saturday, especially in the
eighth inning. when three singles and a
double We're made in quick succession. The
Senators played a superb fielding game,
giving their pitcher excellent support.
