Twenty-Five hundred people saw Tom
Brown 90 to sleep, Farrell make wild
throw, WrigIey do the same thing, Dusty
Miller go from second to home on ball hit
70 Fox, Breitenstein so to base on balls.
five Red legs make singles and five runs
scored at National Park yesterday after
noon.
All this occurred in the third inning
There should have been no runs. II was
az exhibition that would put 70 shame even
q minor league aggregation. Capt. Brown
made no effort IT ali 10 catch Beckiey fly
and he was roundly howled at by the root
ers in the bieaclers, who took / I no doubt
that he was playing false to Cy. Swain
Fox. in the same inning, was as slow as
the fellow who could not keep up to
dead march He stopped Irwin's hit. but
before he could recover himself a man
crossed The plate, coming from second. II
was one Of the most stupid efforts since the
days when Danny Coogan attempted to
play short and second in the halcyon days
Of Gus Schmelz in Washington.
Swain pitched remarkably wei under
the circumstances, and had he been sup
ported with only medium ball playing
he would have added another victory TO
his list. As il was, the Cincinnatis Won
out by a score of 9 to 6. The big
Buckeye twirler's work did not end in
the box, but lie batted in three OF the
six runs.
Farrell threw to bases in a manner that
suggested that his eyesight was affected.
HIS two errors had the color of the suit
that the boy mascot wears. lie batted
well with 10 one on bases, bat when he
had a Glance TO drive in runs he seemed
weak and indifferent. Brown also bit in "a
WIZ that increased his batting average,
but when it came to d pinch the veteran
leaguer struck out.
There was a batting rally in the eighth
among the weak hitters OF the teams, but
whcnthe. 800 fellows were call ed upon Brett
enstein was superb. De MoBtreville could
not land safely, although he made Hoy
traverse considerable ground to catch his
fly in the ninth. III the field, while doing
great deal OF work, he was not himself
he failed to cover the bag twice, and did
NOT play Will his usual agility
Wugley's two errors We're very rank
but each coulG have been saved if there
had been some heady man in the infieId
BIT such things happen sometimes Even
the visitors were little chumpy in this
respect, and at one time second base was
left uncovered.
Dummy Hoy put up strong game, and
had 10 get over lJts OF ground TO catch his
seven flies McFee dropped Fox's fly
In the eighth, when everyone thought he
had an easy out
Ia TlncI-Ia-fe e-srl- xxyorl- ot,,ro
OF the game. The first time up he lifted
tie haIlinto the Ieachers and every other
time he hit safely. Hoy also pushed the
sphere in safe territory three times. Dusty
Miller did some clever base running. and
thereby aided materially in winning the
game.
The ladies We're out in force, and on
every occasion they showed their LOYALTY
by consistent applause. AS the season is
drawing To a close they are becoming very
enthusiastic.
Rrown sent his men first TO the bat
and after Selbach went out he hit safely.
Gettman sent him 10 third, from which he
scored on an cut to Hoy.
In the second the Senators fell upon
Theodore Breitenstein in a lively manner
Tucker hit for double, but was thrown
out 81 tmrd on Fox S bunt TO the pitcher.
Fox went 70 third on Breitenstein's wild
throw to Becley. Swain sent him home
With single. Selbach walked and on
Browns single the elongated twirleF sprint
ed home. II WAS a marvellous burst of
speed, but Cy was equal to the emergency
With Selbach on third Brown made a
dash for second while Breltenstein held
the ball, and as soon as the Southsider
threw TO Beekley the German outfielder
dashed for horne. Brown was run down.
Selhach and Brown Were on earned
bases in the fifth, with none out. Tut
they failed 70 score.
In the eighth, Farrell started with q
