The morning times., 1895-08-02

Washington didn't do a thing yesterday
but play first division ball, and mighty
near the top at that, and won in canter,
showing her heels TO the hated rival on
the next round OF the ladder in the most
disdainful fashion.
New York was outplayed at every point
OF the business, and. moreover, every
close decision OF the day by both uinpircs
went against the home team.
Hunt perpetrated another OF those hair
raising decisions in the second that robbed
Crooks of a run. Knocked him down and
took it away vi ct armis.
Heydler too, was terribly off on balls
and strikes and roasted Mercer through
out the game.
But then it would have taken four UNI
pires TO have won this game for New
York. The Senators were up against
them bigger than a woodchuck, and their
snickersnees were just thirsting for blood.
DOYLE had all four OF his pitchers in the
game, two for twirling and two in the
ninth to bat And the whole outfit was
just easy money for Schmelz's terrors.
That's the kind OF pet names we call them
when they win, the other nineteen times is
another story.
:. HE WAS HIT LIVELY
Mercer pitched one of his old "a games,
and though he was hit lively in two
innings, only three safe ones were scored
against him in the other six. Moreover
| Win deserved about four more strike outs
than he got.
The whole team behind him played like
winners, with lots OF ginger; every man had
chances and not one of them got away.
Schmelz must have had a galvanic bat
tery connected with the boys to produce such
| a change since Tuesday.
It's good thing, Gus; push it along.
Joyce had second lime on earth, and
played like a ssincarnation Of Jerry Denny.
Eight chances at third without an error
beats home runs a long way, and they were
not easy ores, either, but grown men with
whiskers on. that came tearing down at
Bill like Herring Hill goat on rent
| collector.
William scooped up four Of these in TWO
innings, and il wasn't a very good day
for grounders, either, and lie did IL without
any fuss, too.
Every one is used to Selbacn's circus
catches. but one that he was convicted OF
this time, taken about knee high on the dead
run, was sight 10 make a man sing "Die
Wacht am Rhein," ard be proud he was
an American. 'dond it?"
SCHIEBECK SHOWS JUDGMENT.
Schiebeck is playing a fine game at short
and showing excellent Judgment when h
gets hold of the ball, besides hitting tn,
ball on the nose right along.
Charlie Farrell twice fell victim to him
once when he was caught mapping atseconC
and "Schie' clapped the ball on him tel
feet away from the bag, and again whel
} Charles tried to score on Germans hit t
short; the ball met him at the door and ht
! sadly kissed Mcclure goodbye and wen
back to the bench to try and square HIM
self with his sDarling captain
Mcclure caught the only Giant who trie
} to steal by a beautiful throw, and batte
in two runs.
And speaking of batting, that's where tn
Pigmies came out strong and confounded tn,
mighty men.
They piled UP ten hits on Clark in fiv
3 innings and Dad wished he was a bo,
3 again Doyle snatched him out whel
, trouble began again in the sixth, and thre
o German into the breach. Lester succcede
in staying the current and only four hill
were scored on him. Schiebeck got tn
purse with three clean singles and Car
s wright with a triple and a single. Sc
bach aud MCGUIRE with two singles weI
