GENERAL SPORTING NOTES

A wild and hilarious cheer went up Sat
urday when roaring Bill Kennedy stalked
into the pitchers box at Brooklyn and
ground the new ball Familiarity in his hands
and glared confidently at Tom Brown, the
senatorial center fielder. Five thousand
spectators received their moneys worth of
base bah during the nine innings that fol-
lowed. Brilliant work marked every min
ute of the contest, and when it was all
over there were few who did not acknowl-
edge that the best team had won. Inciden-
tally, Washington won by to 3.
Early in the game it looked as though
the home team would win easily They
batted Mercer III the second in way that
promised great things, but the long haired
youth was as cool as an iceberg and set
tied down though nothing had hap
pened. Again in the fifth the home team
found his curves and batted out run,
making their lead 3 to o. 1t was their last
effort, for thereafter they could do abso-
lutely nothing with Mercer, whose clever
pitching, phenomenal fielding in his posi-
ton and faultless support prevented an
other BTooklynite from reaching even first
base. There wasn't the semblance of a
risplay on the part Of the visitors
throughout the entire game
In addition to his gilt-edged pitching,
Mercer fielded the position faultleSsly and
batted well. McCauley's home run that
sent in a score ahead of him resembled a
cannon pau IN speed, ana the brooklyn out
helder3 are possibly painting yet as a re-
suit of the chase. Ed. Cartwright demon
strdted that he las his eye on the ball
by cracking out two singles, which were
the kind that count. Selbach. in the ninth,
saved the game from being tied and per-
haps lost. Anderson hit the sphere ever
lastingly and it sailed between center and
left field with all the appearance of a
homer, but '.Selbach hove in view like a
shadow out of a cloud in left and clutched
the ball in the nick of time 1t was a Won
derful piece of fielding, and the cheers for
Anderson that werz on the lips of every
body burst forth into a roar Of generous
applause for Selbach.''

Miller and Patterson are strong oarsmen,
ana II is a source of surprise that they
should be dropped instead of Marsh and
Whitney.
