The morning times., 1895-09-13

1t is bard TO know exactly how to desig-
nate the contest at National Park yester-
day afternoon between the Senators and
Quakers, for the exhibition the locals gave
could hardly be classified as baseball in
any sense of the word.
After playing such brilliant game on
Wednesday, it was TO be expected that
| Schnlelz's men would at least make il in
| teresting for the Quakers in the last game
the series on the home grounds, but, alas!
just the contrary happened, for the sena-
tors put up the worst show wing OF the cham
pionship season. The Phillies simply made
monkeys OF them from start 10 finish and
succeeded without apparent effort in
piling up seventeen runs before Umpire
Murray put a stop 10 the contest
Boyd started in 10 pitch, and it wa plainly
evident from the first that he was decidedly
out of form. He was as wild as March
hare" and seemed totally unable 10 locate
the plate. As result the visitors piled up
four runs in the first inning He continued
his erratic work in the succeeding inning,
and Gilroy went into the box TO see if he
could not stem the tide. His efforts in
this direction were even worse than those of
his predecessor, and the hard-hitting Phil
lies batted his curves all over the lot
with a regularity that made the spectators
very, very tired.
NO BETTER THAN THE REST.
Malarky was the next Senator TO try his
hand and the best he could do was to
emulate the examples of Messrs. Boyd and
Gilroy. Thirteen bases on balls was the
result of the efforts of these aspiring
youngsters, not to say anything of the
numerous base hits which the Quakers
saDdwiched in between times. The field
work of the Senators was also of an
autumnal hue and their amateurish efforts
to stop what would have been ordinarily
easy balls was Iudicrous. Miah Murray
who essayed to make decisions throughout
the game was also in his worst vein, and his
umpiring vividly recalled the work of Mr..
Redheffer, who, it will be remembered,
barely escaped mobbiDg on the last visit
of the Phillies to this city.
Murray's work was positively rank"
and will go upon record as one of the
worst examples of umpiripg ever seen in
this city. He seemed to favor the visitors
from the beginning and his miserable work
certainly did much toward increasing their
score. Cartwright disputed one of his
decisions early in the game, and was ordered
to q seat on the bench, Bos well taking his
place at first.
The "Contortionist" showed that he was
anything but at home in the position, and
distinguished himself by making several
inexcusable errors. Kid Carsey pitched
for the Quakers, and the Senators could
do but little with his delivery, invariably
hitting the ball into some fielders hands.
Barring one inning, when the Senators
piled up four runs, which were virtually
gifts, resulting from bases on balls, the
Kid pitched a mastery game. Big Sam
Thompson was very much in evidence
with the stick, and easily led bis team in
the batting.
Such a fiasco as was enacted on yester-
day will do much toward diminishing the
patronage at the remaining games, and
it behooves the Senators to take a decided
brace. They have shown that they are
capable of good ball playing, and a bird
that can sing and won't, ought TO bemade TO
sing.
Dave Foutz's Bridegrooms will be here
to-day for two games, the first one be-
ginning at o'clock. Anderson will prob
ably pitch the first game and Boswell tue
second.
FUMBLED THE BALL.
Hamilton for the Quakers was the first
man up. He hit to Joyce and went to first,
for Bill fumbled the ball. Delahanty got
his base on balls, advancing Hamilton to
second. Each of them, made a double
steal Cross got four balls. There were
three men on bases and none out
Thompson was the man for the occasion
pIunkcd the ball past second for one base,
scoring Hamilton and Delabanty and send
ing Cross to third. Sullivan went out,
Joyce TO Cartwright, but Gross scored
and big Sam went to second.
Buckley then dropped safe one back
ofshort for one baseand Sam scored Hall
man drew a base on balls, sending Buckley
to second Boyle flied out to Scheibeck
and Carsey was an easy out, Boyd to Cart
wright, but the Quakers had made most
encouraging start They had four runs.
The Washington team came up three diff
ferent times TO return to the field without
doing any good. In the first inning Brown
hit to Boyle but beat him to the bag
His lively sprint, however. did Tom no
good, for Joyce, Abbey and Mcclure went
out in order.
In the second, Selbach hit TO Sullivan
