The Washington times., 1895-06-08


Manager schmelz tried to turn Wednes-
days trick second time by sending Stocks
dale again to the box against the Spiders,
but he looms up a monument of misplaced
confidence.
Otis was lacking sand, spirit, and control,
and so mixed up his generosity in handing
out a job lot of bases on balls, with sharp
hits by the visitors, that the game was lost
in one inning.
Patsy Tebeau played very foxy game
the Senators. Remembering no W Stocks
dale fooled his hired men on Tuesday, he
started out with instructions to bunt the
ball, and in about ten minutes had the
whole outfit up in the air, like lot OF
country colts at a trotting match.
Six of these teasers were peppered
around the diamond, and five of them
gave the hitters first base, three counting
as hits and two going against Joyce's
record on tumble and wild throw.
The bases were filled in the first inning
with no one out by three of these patent
rattlers, when a swapping double play by
Crooks off George Tebeaus liner put
White Wings and Mexican on the bench,
and Blake flied to Abbey.
A HAPPY DELIVERANCE.
from disaster, but the evil was only post
poned, for Stocksdale went to pieces in
the second, when three bases on balls,
wild throw by Joyce, two hard singles, a
scratch and a double brought six men
across the plate, and gave a lead that
the Senators could not overcome.
Farmer Young was determined to
crawl ont of the pit which the home team
had dug for him on Wednesday, and
though batted hard in nearly every in
ming, he kept the hits scattered, and in
this he was ably assisted by the members
of the home team, who seemed to have
sworn off on team work at the bat, and
resolved to have home runs or nothing.
Not until the ninth was there a SEM
blance of an attempt to sacrifice men
around, although four innings were opened
with a base hit.
Every man John was trying to drive
the ball out of the lot, in marked contrast
to the Clevelands, who pushed their men
along continually by infield hits, and
SO, although they made as many safe drives
as their opponents, they Were not ef-
fectual n producing scores. MCGUIRE
and Cartwright each had three chances to
bring in men, but failed on every occasion.
Mercer went into the box after damage
was done, and held the winners down to
six hits in the remainder of the game
IT WAS WELL PLAYED.
Outside of the unfortunate second, the
game was well played, and while the
error column loooks large, the score was
only affected by two-Joyce's throw in
the second. and pass by Selbach in the
seventh. .
Glasscock played one of his old-time,
sure, steady aud brilliant games, ac-
cepting eleven chances without a slip.
Childs drove a terrible grounder at him
in the second, which any man without a
big insurance policy ought to have lodged
Jack knocked it down but could not
recover in time to throw to first and it
goes as a single but was good for q
double till Glasscock tackled it.
Crooks also played an errOrless, uervy
game, and his double play in the first
was the best thing in the game.
Mcclure made a beautiful assist to first
on Blake's dump in front of the plate, and
caught George Tebeau between bases by a
| short throw to Glasscock in the same
| inning. If Joyce helped to lose the game,
| he did more than any man to save it when at
| the bat. Three times in succession he
| punished Young s curves for singles, a liner,
| and bounder to right, and an infield hit
| which could not be got to first in time.
| Hassaner kept up for two innings, and
| then dropped out.
The whole Cleveland infield played first.
