Ely, Merritt, sugden and Lyons.
A washout in Illinois prevented the
Brooklyn team from reaching Louisville
yesterday. Two games, will, therefore, be
played today.
John T. Brush says that the board OF
directors OF the League acted too hastily
In filming Tebeau, as the constitution pro-
vides that both sides must be heard.
On Thursday Kelley, of the Baltimores,
and Tiernan, of the New Yorks, made their
Tooth hits of the season. Reitz, OF Balti
more, made his first error in sixteen games.
There are half dozen syndicates in the
field prepared to buy out the present
holder OF the New York franchise and
give q winning team to the metropolis.
The toboggan slide has been creased for
the Washingtonians, but it is to be hoped
they will not strike bottom with too hard
a thump. The poor Kentucky Colonels re
there.-Baltimore tn Herald.
President Reach arrived in st. Louis yes.
terday with his family. Boyle has sue
ceedcd Nash an manager, and Hallman has
| been made captain. Nash left the team at
Pittsburg to so home and rest up.
President Reach expressed himself as being
very much pleased with the Cooley Turner
| Sullivan deal.
Col E.Gt torn nn n0rna
umpire. He failed to show up at atSaturday's
| or Sundays games in Providence, and yes
| terday President P at Powers appointed Lar
| ry Ketrick, of Scranton, in his place. ket-
rick was on the substitute list, and three
years ago was regular umpire in the
Eastern League.
Hoy, who has twenty-one sacrifice hits
to his credit, probably will beat the record
of Jennings, who led the League last sea-
son with twenty eight to his credit.
sam" Crane, who, in his day, was one
| of the handieSt men that ever guarded Sec
ond base, played great game at third for
the Elks in New York last Saturday.
| McJames throughout pitched great bail,
but errors and rattle Drained work in the
third inning and a double and a single
punched behind base on balls in the first
gave the Colts enough runs to weather
through and win. Griffith, all over the
route, had the Senators on the string, and
just when they needed hits he pitched the
most effective ball.-Chicago Record.
While Donohue, the Chica 90 catcher, was
in New York his shoulder was lame, and lie
complained greatly about it. One morning
a newspaper man who accompanied the
team whispered the fact to DoGohue that
1.-The old man had signed Con Daley" I'M
mediately Donobue walked toward Anson,
looking quite pert" waving his arm and
chirping: MY arm is all right today. I'm
good for lots of games.''
Richard Brown, formerly of the Baiti-
mores, but with the Scranton Eastern
League team last season aud this, yesterday
left Scranton, after serving notice on the
local club that lie refused to longer play
there. Browns reason for leaving is based
on Il Withholding of ten days pay while he
was absent in Baltimore last month Brown
did the same thing with the Scranton club
about the middle OF the season last year.
Griffith and McJames were pitted against
one another in the first game, and honors
were easy. The latter is a tall youngster
who resembles college pla yer. He had
good control of the ball, considering its
slippery condition, and is possessed of con.
siderable speed. The Colts were unable
TO hit him consecutively, but the Senators
kindly punched their errors, and thus pre-
sented the first game to the home team
Chicago Herald.
In an interview Robson says: "I neveI
yet have said that Pat Tebeau does no,
deserve the fine that was levied against
him. Ny personal opinion is that Tebeau
has been more sinned against than sin
ming, but personal opinions amount to
nothing in a case like this. What my
contention is, and has been right along
Is that Tebeau should have been given 8
chance TO defend himself"
Cincinnati is absolutely ''up in the air.
