The Washington times., 1895-06-05

The national game as she was yester-
day played by nine sumber-clad young
men from the dark aud bloody grounds Of
old Kentlck was a buriesque.
The cosuumesS of the representatives
of that sporting State resemble those
worn in The Black Crook, and only in the
neither regions where the action of that
scenic drama goes on, could be found
such wierd uncanny and diabolic contor-
tiuns aud fiendish antics take place.
Their pitchers were wilder than brou-
chos. the catchers unable to hold the cratic
curves, and every player who could get
hold of the ball, except Collins, Clsrke and
Welch, was filled with burning desire
TO have a collar aud elbow tllssle, with
it, ur TO thro W it into the bIeachers
And they most generally succeeded
Shugart and Kemmer were the principal
offenders, the former working in three wild
throws and two fumbles, each OF which
gave a Senator his first base, these errors
of the short stop alone being responsible
for nine OF the local runs.
GAVE FOUR BASES.
McDermott started on TO pitch and in the
first inning gave four bases on balls and
made wild pitch, which with the errors by
O'Brion, Kemmer and shugart gave five
uuearned runs and won the game.
When to this sort of playing is added the
fact that Anderson pitched a first-class
game, having only one hit against him up
to the sixth inning and that he was sup
ported in practically faultless shape by
his whole team, the Que sided score is fully
accounted for.
The Louisville team seemed to be utterly
nj
own hook.
McDermott gave up the fight at the chose
of the third and fled to the dressing room.
Knell took his place and for one inning
stemmed the current of disaster.
Then trouble broke loose again bigger
than wolf, and when at the close of the
eighth, which was simply farce, Keefe
called the game out Of pity to the suffering
people, there was no objection from the
visitors bench.
O'Brion, except one slip, played an ex-
cellent game and Broutbers, considering the
awful throwing he had to contend with, got
| along fairly well.
Clarke was the only visitor to touch An
derson for more than hit and his home
run was made by brilliant running on a
| drive to center.
SENATORS DESERVE CREDIT.
Turning to the sunny side ofthe picture
the Senators are seen TO have batted with
greatregularitya yandfairfrequency, consider
| ing how seldom the ball came over the plate.
| Every man made a run and only Crooks
| failed to connect safely with the ball at
| least once. :
| And the smoothness and snap OF the field
| ing was delight to the eye.
Jack Crooks made the only error and that
was almost paTdonable, on hard crack
| from O'Brion, but he attended to ten
| others in the highest style of the art.
Anderson seems to be something of a
fielding as well as batting pitcher, for
he covered first base three times, enabling
Cartwright to cut off promising hits.
Cartwright's superiority over Brouthers
| was manifestly shown in ground covered
and in taking care of thrown balls Dan
| was not in it.
Boyd captured a high and Crooks low
! liner in championship form.
| Coogan took McGuire's place in the
| sixth, when the game was safe, and handled
| Anderson's delivery nicely.
Anderson was the only man to make an
extra base, placing long drive in left
! on which he secured three bags.
| When Hassamer came to bat in the first
with men on first and second, press-bos
| critic was describing him as a fearful
example of man who could not bunt
