The Washington times., 1895-06-07

The baseball enthusiasts showed their
appreciation OF the good work of the
Washingtous and their desire to welcome
Jack GlaSscOck by turning out nearly
| 5000 strong at yesterdays game.
They were well paid for their invest
ment. The day was a perfect one, the
| pitchers among the best in the League,
with the home twirler having the best of
! 1t; game uiat was anybudy's till the
| seventh iuning, and then a splendid bat
ting squirt that put the result beyond
| question.
what is SD rare as day in June like
that for a ball crank?''
Maui never pitched a better game in hi
life, and the same sort of work with
good support will win nineteen times ou
| of twenty.
| The Cleveland batteTs were completely
befogged, and but for GleaSon's two
errors only three hits would have been
made off his delivery in the first eight
innings; and one out of three scored in
| the ninth vas an absolute scratch, due to
Crooks slipping down after getting the
ball in his hands.
SPIDERS SHUT OUT
BY the same token the Spiders would
have been shut out till the ninth.
Glasscock got a great reception, and
justified it by playing a fine game. His
errors were due to his having been out
of harness for ten days and not having
sufficient practice to get limbered up.
But, all the same he took care of nine
good, hard chances, and when it came to
batting he was in the game by a large
percentage Three base hits are credited
to him out of five chances, two of the
safest kind Of singles and the other an in
field hit, which he beat out by good
running, and these, with another which
tangled up McKean's feet, brought in
three runs.
1t is a good move to make him captain,
for he has more experience than any
man on the team, and what he does not
know about the fine points OF baseball
could be told in a very few words.
1t viii be mighty hard work to turn the
| left flank of the diamond, and when a
visitor gets ball through the Washington
infield he will come pretty near getting a
base hit.
Joyce was close up to the head of the
batting procession with two sin giles aud
nice two-baser.
CRACK TO THE LEFT.
Cartwright put in crack to left that
was worth fortune in the seventh, and
scored two men, and Mcclure was just
position to benefit by Cartwrights work.
Everybody fielded well, and Crooks, Abb
bey, SeIbach and Mcclure deserve spe-
ciaI mention.
Both the fielders had some difficult con-
tracts to execute and succeeded. Abbey
cut down to two bases threatening homer
from George Tebeau's bat by q fine stop,
and gotsthe bah to the plate in time to re-
tire Mexican, who was trying to score
/ from first.
white Wings Tebeau and O'Connor
were the only men who collared Maui for
more than one hit, and when Jack had
| batted Blake home in the ninth he proudly
shouted to the bleachers: That's what
/ did"
Although the errors of Mexican and G.
Tebeau were very costly, the Cleveland in
| field, as played yesterday, is hand one
| to tackle, and all made good plays, particu-
larry Childs and Capt. Tebeau, the latter
pulling a high liner from Cartwright,
and doubling Mcclure at first.
Wallace had poor control OF the ball in
the first inning. but after that he was a
puzzle till the locals worked the combina-
| ton. when, as on Wednesday, they made
nearly half their whole number of hits.
| McAleer made great play in the sixth
| and stoDped a batting streak by pulling q
