The morning times., 1895-08-21

Pat Tebeau and his pcsky Cleveland
Spiders. fresh from the scene of their
recent Western triumphs landed in the Nj
tionaI Capital yesterday.
The euviable position they now occupy
in The league race made them somewhat
overconfIdent when they faced the Sena-
tors at the National Baseball Park, and
it did not take blind man long to dis
cover that they had visions OF victory in
their eyes, and pennant aspirations in
their hearts when the time for play was
called.
Their hopes Of the former would have bcea
shattered and those OF the latter would
have received a severe set back had it
not been for the presence of one Mr.. Hank
o'Day, one OF Nick Young's has-beens, who
wore the uniform OF a league umpire and
essayed dtomakenumerousde decisions through
out the contest.
Mr o-Day has got TO learn great many
points about the national game if the cX-
hibition be gave yesterday is any criterion,
for they assumed an autumDal yellow hue
early in the contest, and as the afternoon
wore on were distinct enough To be used
as a smallpox flag for the neighboring
hospital
O'DAY'S OWL EYES.
Mr. ODay may belong TO the owl Club
and be endowed with the wonderful faculty
OF seeing as wen is the dark as with the
assistance of a calcium, but the members
Of the Washington Baseball Club unfortu-
nately do not possess that happy faculty,
and his ludicrous attempts to have them go
through an inning when the field was
fit place for Mr.. Edison'S best efforts in
the art OF illumination, was the cause Of
another victory, unearned It's true, to be
added 10 the string already attained by the
Clevelands, and another defeat to be
added TO the large list Of unsuccessful eff
forts already achieved by the Senators.
Mr. O'Day has or ought to have the proud
/ satisfaction Of knowing that his umpiring
I Oh yesterday was the worst ever seen on
/ the local grounds. and his plain attempt 10
| deprive the Washington team of victory
| they had won and wei deserved, deserves
/ all the condemnation that can be heaped
| upon it, He narrowly escaped as q con
sequence, one OF the worst drubbings ever
! given an umpire by angry blca chcrs. The
! police had to go TO his rescue.
