BATTLES WITH BALL AND BAT.
Two Games Played by Every Club in
the League.
New York, May SO.-The New Yorks
broke even with the Louisvilles to-day
on two games. The morning game was
all one way, the visitors being unable to
hit Meekin, while the New Yorks finish
ed up McDermott and Smith without
much trouble.
The afternoon game was one Of the best
played and most exciting that has been
seen here in years. Frazer had the New
Yorks completely at his mercy and won
golden spurs by his display of nerve
in the last inning. With the bases filed
and two men out, Herman, who had
already made three hits, came to the
plate. Frazer got a couple of strikes on
him right away, and finally made him
pop fly for the shortstop, which ended
the game in LOuisVille's favor. The Wis
itors touched up Dad Clarke rather free
ly. but his beautiful support kept the
score down.

Washington won the game from Pitts
burg this afternoon by hitting Hawley at
the right time. A poor decision by Ems
lie in the second inning knocked the
visitors out of two runs. Mercer was
given splendid support, and made the
star play of the game in fielding a
grounder to first all by himself and COM
pleting double play by retiring run

Brooklyn, May SO.-The Brooklyns were
fortunate in making their hits at times
when they were mostly needed in this
mornings game. Terry and Kennedy

called balls. Two Of these gifts resulted
in runs for the Brooklyn.
