The Washington times., 1895-06-02

Billy HasSanler informed his constituents
just before the game yesterday that it was
TO be a walk over, and the result made his
prediction good.
Two Thousand people sweltered through
nine long drawn out innings while Dan
Brouthers and his team OF tail holders
strove in vain to keep their ancient rivals
within speaking distance.
II was all in vain. The game was won
N the first inning and with each succeeding
rally at the bat the bleachers mournfully
whistled The girl left behind me" for
McCloskey's benefit.
She was hull down and out Of sight long
before the last half was over.
The truth was, that through diligent
practice with the Pirates the boys have
got their eyes so ''sot'' on the ball that it
will take a very able-bodied and cunning
twirler indeed to 5ostle them out of their
winning stride.
TAKEN A NEW LEASE.
After they toyed wit hMr. Luby's shots
for five runs IN the first inning, that
!, young man seemed 10 have taken q new
lease on life and for four turns be fooled
them into skying the ball, but after that he
grew wild and often as he presented the
boys with bases they promptly furnished
hits enough to score the recipients and
threw on more for good measure.
Keefe being still under the weather, Pres
ldent Young designated Mr.. Sneeden, a
local umpire, TO officiate. He made a very
fair umpire, but drew the fire of the visi-
tors by calling Brouthers out on strikes.
Dan stepped away from the plate snd
two OF Maul's returns came like q fash
squarely over the plate, before the big
baseman could get into position, and CT the
third, which was high, Sneeden made the
mistake OF calling the third.
Brouthers was hot and, after some words,
picked up a bat and made motion 20 strike
eneeden, but cooled down at once.
He was not fined, and the umpire al
lowed PHI Knell and McCloskey to abuse
him from the bench during the remainder
Of the game.
HE COULDN'T HELP.
It would have taken more than three
umpires to have won the game for Louis
vile with the game they were putting up.
They played like men who were down On
their luck. and the infield went to pieces
completely in the seventh, when five un-
earned runs were stacked up.
Shugart, O'Brien and Preston all made
DANA ging errors in this inning, and The
ball was thrown about recklessly.
The discipline Of the team appears 10
be loose, and though there is good indi-
vidual pla wing, there is conspicuous absence
OF team work. and taking this game for a
measure, it is easy TO understand the
low position of the club
10 Clarke aud Sweeny they have two
excellent aud fast players. Sweeny is
q ringer for Dayy Force aud he can hit
the ball as hard Us a giant. Clark is one
Of the speediest men IN the League and
made the star play Of the game In the
seventh inning rObbing Joyce OF his only
good chance for a hit.
ON THE TRADE MARK
william hit the bah squarely on the
trade mark and IL sailed ont on a line
with a through ticket for the far left.
Clarke turned his back on home and
friends and raced for life along the course
Of the flaying sphere. Al it passed over
his head his left hand shot up aud pulled
1T out Of the clouds.
II was a marvellous catch, but hard luck
for Joyce, who was shut out from the
base hit counter at which all the other
Senators were luuching.
Maui pitched q winning game and KEEP
the Colonels guessing pretty much all th'
time. only two hits being made outside or the
first and seventh innings, and Broutlers
the only batter to secure more than one o.
the coveted raps.
Joyce made grand stand catch OF itnel
from sweeny, the first man, jumping up tnc
pulling II in. Cartwright also spoiled {
base hit for the same player on his second
turn, stopping wicked grounder on @'
