OFF COLOR FIELDING.


OFF COLOR FIELDING.
The fielding of the Giants $50 called by
courtesy) was rather off color, but ouly
one of their miscues affected the result
directly, bad throw to the plate by Fuller
that let Abbey home in the fourth aud put
the Senators in the lead.
Butler was the bright star OF the aggre-
cation, ana saddened the rooters by an
other great catch off Mcclure in the
eighth, for which he received lots OF ap-
plaUse.
Doyle and Stafford put up good bah,
but the continued and sensecss kicking
of the New York captain was the principal
blemiSh on an otherwise enjoyable game.
Somebody ought to sit down hard on this
flannel-mouthed hoodlum. He fused
about everything; kicked about strikes,
base decisions, fly catches, and wasn't
right once in the game
An old sorrel horse finally broke his
tether in the far corner, and came racing
into the diamond to get on a kicking match
with Jack, and il took both teams and all
the park constabUlary ten minutes to
persuade the brute that he wasn't i'll it
for a minute with the New Yorker, and
coax him back TO peaceful grass.
Heydler would have earned the gratitude
every one on the grounds by putting him out
OF the game.
