The Washington times., 1895-06-09

That hustling man OF business, Mr.. J.
Earle Wagner, probably thought he was
working a pretty smooth game yesterday
afternoon when he clapped an attach
ment on the st. Louis share of the gate
receipts. and said check in the little
game which he and der boss manager
are playing to get even on that Cincinnati
business in the year Of the association war
And. speaking after the manner of men,
It was all right, but Gus SchmelZ and his
team can give Mr.. Wagner points and beat
him at his own game. The courts may
get at Mr.. Wagner's scheme and rip it up
the back. but the attachment that the Sen
ators levied on that game was steel riv-
tied and copper fastened, and bound to
stick against lawyers, courts and UNI
pires.
And there are 5000 witnesses that
1T was done right.
RINGLETED PITCHER EHRET.
St Louis has a pitcher named Ehret,
who rejoices in wealth of auburn ringlets
and in consequence thereof the soubriquet of
Red, /" but if there are not loads of silver
threads among the gold'' this morning, it's
because trouble rolls off that young mans
mind mighty easy.
The locals jumped on at the sound Of the
gong and Just piled up base hits and runs
in blocks OF four and never stopped till they
had seventeen hits, with a team batting
average Of Alb, and had earned nine
out of theiI fourteen ITALICS.
Not at the bat alone did they warm the
hearts OF admirers, but the fielding throug h
out was gilt-edged and full morocco
A dropped foul fly by Cartwright that cuts
no figure in the result is the only fly speck
on the otherwise spotless page of the record.
Only in three innings could the little boys
IN brown find their way across the rubber,
and in the other six, only three hits were
made and not a man reached second base.
SPECIAL CREDIT DUE.
To commend one man more than another,
where all the work was OF such a high
order, seems almost unfair, but special
credit should be given to Mcclure for
the capture OF sky-soaring foul sent up
by David In the fourth inning 1t was a
critical moment, for two men had already
scored in the inning, second and third were
occupied, and only one hand out. Mac
raced from the plate and got the descending
ball not six feet from the stand, against
which this run carried him with q crash,
but he held TO his plumber, and The next
mp went out.
Crooks had more work than any one
else, and accepted twelve chances so easy
that it seemed TO cost him no trouble at all.
ABBEY ATTENDED 10 some exceedingly Qlf-
ficult flies, and Hassamer, after having
two chances taken away from him-Abbey
and Crooils-sat down and looked pro-
test louder than words against the inva-
sion OF his territory.
Glasscock had not so many chances as
usual, but when it came TO batting the
G. O. NJ was the hero OF the game, and
nailed Ehret's curves for three cracking
hard singles and double.
Hassamer is credited with a double and
two singles, aud Setback with three singles,
80 fact, everybody but Anderson fattened
his batting average.
der Prowas" We're by no means lag
CARDS in welding the willow, especially
Cooley and Connor, and they began to
show so much familiarity with AndeC-
sous style OF doing business in the latter
part Of the game that Narney was given
hIrlough add Stocksdale finished the game,
only one man getting TO first on his
pitching,
HAD CHARLEY-EoRsE.
Roe found Anderson for a single,
double and a triple, and Cooley, though
suffering from Charley horse, ambled
fast enough TO beat out two infieid hits,
aud when he thumped a grounder that
gave Abbey stern chase Ia the center
fence, he went around the bases like
suburban winner. He also captured
several difficult flies
Ely aud Quinn each made a costly error
on easy chances, but atoned by brilliant
work at many critical moments
