The morning times., 1896-04-07

Virginia practice games 'Woif Eating
Bear and Bullet Proof Ned'' were un-
able TO take part in the contest The In
dian was so sore Ia the chest that he was
not able TO get out on the lines and whoop
'em up.
In addition TO the crippled condition Of
these two pitchers, Captain Gilman, who
plays second base, is carrying his left arm
in a sling, the result OF a slide into third
base.
whether the minor leaguers were out
classed, or whether the Senators are so
fast that they can make monkeys ofany OF
them this sea son, is a question. They Ger.
tainly played rapid ball yesterday and
their great showing this early in the year
is very pleasing aud enthuSing TO the army
of local fans.
MALARKEY WASIN THE GAME.
'Drop-ball' Nal arkey was on the slab for
the home team for seven innings and he
had an easy time with Ted's champion Texas
League sluggers.
in the first half of the second inning he
struck out three batters in sUccession-an
unusual feat in games between profess
sionals.
John also made n safe hit and scored u
run. His stock went up several hundred
points yesterday.
in the eighth inning Malarkey and Nc
Guirc gave way TO Gilroy and McAuley,
who finished the game as the Senators
battery.
The batting of the big lea guers was very
heavy and timely. George Keefe, the
former Washington player, who was in
the box for New Haven, was found easily
and often, despite his south-paw delivery
The local boys on the visiting team were
given a cordial welcome by the crowd and
were heartily applauded for good plays
as they were made.
O'Hagan put up good game at third
base. and Erny Hodge fully maintained his
reputation for being one Of the best back
stops for his inches in the profession.
on account OF the crippled condition of
number Of the New Haven's several of
the players were out of position yesterday,
which, in a measure, accounts for the
large total in the error column and the
double figures in the Senator's score.
