The morning times., 1895-09-05

Buck" Ewing's band Jf belliccrent
braves" played Tag" with Schmelzs
Senators at the National Park yesterday
afternoon, and managed to pile up eleven
runs with very little effort.
After losing four games out Of six to the
despised Kentucky ColoncIs, it was hoped
that tie Senators would take a brace and
at least capture the first game OF the Gin
cmnaUi series, bat it was the old old, story,
and The five hundred spectators heaved
sigh Of relief wh hen 1t was all over.
MalarEey, who has been oft tried ana
always found wanting, started to pitch the
game for the Senators, and the way the
Reds hammered hisdelivery must havemade
the young man wish that he was back in
the Virginia League.
He was, indeed, shining mark" and
it only remained for the fifth inning to
demonstrate that be is sadly out Of place
in National League company.
In that inning the base hits came so
fast and furious that Schmclz decided to
retire him 10 the solitude Of the players
bench and sent Mr. Gilroy, his latest
pitching find, into the box
REDS HAD no TROUBLE.
He Jared 10 better than his predecessor,
for the first Red whofaced him punched out
good substantial single. The visitors
continued To make runs throughout the
game, and only stopped because they were
tired. The Senators, on the other hand,
seemed TO experience great difficulty in
solving Tom PARROTS curves and with
the exception OF one or two long hits he had
them completely at his mercy.
The Reds played a good, sharp fielding
game, in contrast To that put up by their
opponents. who seemed TO take but little
interest IN their work. II would be well if
some kind friend would point out TO the
Senators the folly of trying, or even hoping
70 win games in the don't care, wish it
We're over style which seemed to char
acterize their work throughout yesterdays
contest.
The crowd, and il was SO small that Arlie
Latham yelled from the lines 10 Schmelz
to5p-n the gales, seemed Ia take sides with
tie visitors and applauded them whenever a
senator went out. This reversal OF feeling
can only be attributed TO the article OF bali
which the Senators have lately been putting
up, Tor there is no baseball crowd in the
country more loyal 10 the home team thaD
that which the National Capital turns out
Patience, however, ceases to be a virtue
and even the worm VIII turn, and so il
has been with the Washington baseball
public. For five long months they have
patiently waited ana rooted, hoping that
q change for the better would eventually
take place. They have hoped against hope
and instead of change it has been just the
opposite, for the Senators have deteriorated
in their work as the season has progressed,
and those who were once ardent admirers
have now become thoroughly disgusted
with them. When the Senator'S make up
their minds TO give the public an exhibition
Of The national game, they VIII receive the
support and encouragement of the people
but until that happens they cannot eX
pect more lnan they now receive.
There VIII be two games to-day and it is
10 be hoped that the WasbnGtons viii at
least bag one Of them nj make an effort
10 rc-estabiish themselves once more in
the esteem OF the local baseball public
FIRST To BAT.
The Senators were first to bat, but for
that inning and the two succeeding ones
they didn't get within reach of run.
only ten men faced PARROT in the three
innings, ana only two Of the ten got IS far
as first base. These Were Joyce, who went
there on four balls, a nd Abbey, who went
there on a hit TO Smith, which forced joyce
out at second.
This was in the first inning. In the
second Selbach, Ca rtwrieht and Lush
went out in one, two, three order In the
third Boyd. Malarkey and Brown went out
the same way. Malarkey and Brow n struck
out and Boyd went out, McPhee TO Ewing
The Reds did some profitable work for
themselves in the first. Burke singled 10
center Latham bunted to Cartwright
and was called out for running outside
OF the line McPhce went to first on halls
Ewing to Boyd, forcing McPhee atsecond
but Buck got first He then started 10
steal second.
Mcclure made q bluff as though to cut
him off and Burke, who was on third,
started for home. Instead of Sc nding the
ball TO second, Jim threw to Joyce, a nd the
latter in trying 30 run Burke down,
hit him in the back with the bail, which
bounded clear over to the sta nd, and Burke
