Base Ball Notes.

This is ladies' day again. the final COM
plimentsry game for the fair sex for over
a month.
Twice did Washington have three men on
bases and not run could be squeezed In.
Joyce's nose was broken, and it is ex-
pected that he will be laid up for at least
a week.
Bonner. foI merly Of Baltimore, was sta
toned at second for the Bridegrooms, but
did no better than Daily.
DeMontreville and lightning may be men
toned in the same breath.
Rogers is at all times very much in the
game, whether In the field. at the bat or on
the coach lines. He has an unparalleled
assortment Of antics, which never fail to
amuse.
A row. of private boxes is in course of
erection on the roof Of the stand. This is
In line with the condition of the accommo-
dations at other league grounds.
Now, Mr.. Keefe, keep 'em going today
We all had to eat cold dinner yesterday
The people pay to see ball game, not a
Although the runner was not retired,
Lush made gallant effort to stop Har-
pers hard-hit liner in the fourth.
There is now get-up -and-get spirit
about the Washir gton club that is refresh
Ing. and which has long been conspicuous
by its absence.
Nothing is more tiresome at a ball game
tEau the Qelay caused protesting play
ers. The umpire can be gentlemanly, but
he should be prompt and decided.
In the first inning DeMontreville caught
La Chance eff second by the moss-covered
trick of hiding the ball.
Mcclure and Umpire Keefe mad quite
seance of words toward the end of the
game. Jim Y as mad, not angry.
AS result of the agitation in New York
the infield today will probably be George
Davis, first tase; Fred. PETER, second base;
Fuller, shortstop, and Gleason, third base.
President Young says that the protest Of
President STICKY of Louisville as TO UNI
pire Weidmen's work at Pittsburg will
avail nothing. President STICKY wanted
Weidman detailed elsewhere, but Mr.
Young has decided not to change his sched-
uie, as he has unlimited confidence in Mr..
Weidman.
How ridiculous it would look if a Judge
waited for authorities to be searched every
time he made ruling! An umpire is for
the time the judge on the ball field. Let
en- file exceptions. Judge Keefe, but keep
the case moving.
Not Down on the Score Card
Frank Hough writes from New York:
Manager Freedman Is having his own trou-
bles no less profound than those of Arthur
Irwin The Evening World is making
strong fight for the return Of Amos Rusie
to the team and in voicing popular senti-
ment upon the question it is publishing
lawyers, politicians and well-known men
about town. The visiting PHILADELPHIA
newsp aper push were interviewed on Tues
day and the reporter inadvertently credited
one of the Quaker pencil drivers to a paper
which was not represented. In this inter-
view the scribe passed some stringent COM
ments upon Mr.. Freedman. When he Che,
scribe) came to the ground today he was
asked by Mr.. freedman if he was connect
mr. he
truthfully answered 10. Whether this led
Mr.. Freedman to believe that the whole in
terview was fake or not I don't know,
but anyhow, after the game this afternoon.
as Mr.. Hurst the World reporter, was ap-
preaching the exit he was cornered by Mr.
Freedman, who, after calling him a fakir
struck him on the side of the face without,
however, doing any serious damage. Mu-
tual friends prevented any further display
of violence.
