LATE SPORTING NEW S
PLAYED 1T ON "BUCK."
An Old Trick That Gave the Engrnv
ers the Game.

An Old Trick That Gave the EnErnv-
ers the Game.
The game yesterday at National Park
between the Army and Navy and the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing teams was
as pretty an exhibition of base ball after
the first inning as one could wish to see.
in the first inning both sides scored five
runs, and in their half of the second the
Warriors made three more. 1t was not on
errors however, and the three which they
managed to get then nearly won them the
game The eight runs were made off Or
spada, and the Printers made their five off
Andre. After Buckingham and Bernard
were put in the points four runs and eight
hits tell the story of the remainder of the
game for each side.
Joe Bernard held his opponents down to
two singles. while Buck allowed the
Printers to make six off his delivery. The
Bureau made one in the fourth. and sew
eral times had chances to score with men
on bases, but Buckingham had the ball
under excellent control and. moreover. was
backed up in great style, and the Printers
were unable to get their men home.
Then 1t was that the willy Bernard set
tied upon trick. When Joe" begins to
think of some trick whereby he can win
the game the opposing side had better
hang up their bats and go home. But the
spectators expected to see something newer
than the famous 'Anson" gag, and when
he perpetrated that the crowd in the
bleachers were sorely disappointed-mainly
because they wanted to see the Warriors
win. With the bases full, Doyle at the bat.
one out and the score 8 to 6 against the
Bureau, Joe Bernard called to Buckingham
to let him see the ball.
Buckingham had shown that he was
losing his head at this trying time by hit
ting two of the opposing batsmen and fill
ing the bases, and when Joe asked him for
the ball 1t was the most natural thing for
the obliging little twrler to throw it to
him. Joe Immediately stepped out of the
way, and those who were on the bases in
stituted a scamper for home. Foremeyer
made a throw that nearly went over the
left field bleachers, and the game was won
for the Printers.
OF course, there was kicking, and there
probably will be kicking for some time to
come but Mr.. Heydler could do nothing
else than to decide 1t the way he did-in
favor of the Bureau. The only thing to be
Geplored on the Army and Navy side is
that buckingham was so ignorant of the
rules.
The game abounded in excellent playing
and star plays. Leach, McCauley, Fla
herty and Madigan for the Bureaus, and
Merrill for the Warriors put up beautiful
game. Merrill especially at short filled up
big hole and cut runs off at the plate in
great style. The attendance was fair.
Mr.. Heydler of the W. L.. l. team umpired
an excellent game. only one of his decisions
being questioned at all. The score:

Base Ball Notes.
Washington has played the least number
Of games of any team IN the league.
The National League rennant Is still
within the easy reach OF nine Of the twelve
clubs. --
Nothing definite has been done as vet
with Schrivers application for a position
as catcher with the Orioles.
One. thing Manager Hanlon is determined
upon, and that is to put a stop to the heter-
cgeneous kicking Of the champions.
Kid Gleason will continue at second base
for some time to come. He is fielding the
position for all it is worth.
1t is said that the Washington club may
purchase the release Of Shortstop Lewea
Of the Buffalo club.
"Bill'' Joyce has made lots Of horne runs
He now has ten to his account. leading the
league in that respect.-Exchange-
Buck Ewing leads the Cincinnati team in
batting, and he Is not so much over the
200 mark at thar.
Catcher Ryan of Boston has not made
an error in fourteen games.
It is reported il Pittsburg that Pitcher
Frank Killen will have to remain out of
the game for another six weeks. owing to
the spiking he received from Park Wilson,
the New YORK catcher.
Buck Ewing is himself authority for the
statement that Arlie Latham will not be
a member of the Cincinnati team next sea-
son.
From st. Louis comes the report that
Connor's retirement Is only temporary. So
far this season he has a batting average
OF about $50 and a fielding average of
about $50.
Arthur Irwin considers that the Phillie5
have better snow for the pennant now
than they have had in several seasons. and
proposes to use Carsey and Taylor as much
as possible in the pitchers position.
Cincinnati fans are not quite as hopeful
| as they were a brief period ago. They pro-
fess now that they will be satisfied If
Bucks braves can be landed in the first
division at the finish.
"We'll be in 1t for the Temple cup series
at all events" said Manager Ned Han
| lon, when asked how he thought the Orioles
would finish in the race for the pennant.
The old trouble 10 the Chicago club was
| stirred up when Arson put Stewart on the
] bench. Several of the Colts denounced
| Anson's action as being taken simply be-
| cause he has a grievance against Stewart,
| not having signed him.
| Speaking of the reported retirement OF
| Roger Connor, Capt. Ewing said: IF 1t is
| really true that Conner has retired. then
base ball has lost one of it's shining lights
| I played with Cornor in New York from
| 1888 to 1891 and in that time ne always
| was an honest, cor scientious player and
| gentleman at all times"

the evening. A large crowd went down
with the club, many Grand Army iaen be-

enjoy themselves to the fullest extent. No
