King and Payne will probably be the op-
posing pitchers.
Ladies' day. and a big crowd is assured.
And Farrell made triple into right. 1t
was beauty bright
Who said DeMont couldn't hit with mea
on bases:
Bresnahan. the Lima, Ohio, boy arrived
yesterday. Put him to work.
Billy Lush is in bad flavor up in Toronto
The scribes say he is stuck on himself and
won't try to play.
How Charley Abbey can play ball out at
National Park. On the road he isn't deuce
high. either as batter or fielder. The
why's and wherefores are beyond solving.
Charley Farrell has been a little over
weight of late, and has taken to training to
knock off the extra pounds of flesh. Char
ley always plays good ball, but his work
when in prime condition borders on the
sensational. The difference was noted IN
yesterdays game.
George Shoch, the old-time Washington
player, is still fine utility man. either in
the out or infields. Ten chances without an
error was his record yesterday He also
got in a single and a double.
Umpire Kelly, who lately OBLIGATED in this
c1ty,eXpressed the wish for run-in against
the Baltimore tougbs. He was accommo-
dated yesterday, and three of the birds bit
the dust.
Come Tn, Cincinnatis, and don't let them
throw you down like they did last fail
Your infield is in a class by itself, and
there IS no reason why you should not oIay
as good ball on the eastern circuit as yoi,
DO at home The gutter you had last year
mas been replaced by a player that has
nerve ana sand for sale. What a fine thing
It would be for base ball should the Bos-
tors and Cincinnatis play for the Temple
cup
Who is going to win the pennant is an
enigma even to the men who believe that
money talks man who is identified with

hnlsh one, two; while a bet of $500 to $40
was registered at the Hotel Rennert that
the Baltimore club would win.-Baltin,ore

The Washingtons have wired Van Der
beck asking his price for Hahn but Van
isn't selling at present. 1t is certain that
liam VIII be drafted at the close of the
season, but Ire should not be- He is too
young to be put into such fast company.
Another year of seasoning would make him

poets would be blighted He is lust learn
Ing to bat, but is a novice at hitting the

grounds yesterday afternoon was a dis
grace and an insult to every one of The
5000 spectators, and Messrs. Reach and
Rogers owe it to their patrons to see that
there shall be no repetition of such scenes
five minutes were consumed from the be-
ginning of play until the last man was re-
tired in the ninth inning. OF this time
about two hours were taken up In the play
ing of the game, and during the rest of the
time the helpless spectators were compelled
to listen to the bllingsgate, and to witness
the offensive pantomime of the black
guards OF whom the champion Baltimore
team is made up. The trouble arose in the
seventh inning over the introduction Of
new balls. Without entering into any dis
cussion over the merits of the question
whether the umpire was right or wrong
the fact remains that the spectators We're
not parties to the quarrel. Nearly fifty
pinutes were occupied in playing the sew
enth inning, during which the ears of the
occupants of the front rows were assailed
by the filthy language of some of the Wis
Ting kickers, and the eye affronted by the
Suggestive actions and motions of some of
the others. The people who had paid their
money to witness the game were practi-
cally held up while this organized band
of toughs had their run-in with the UNI
pire, and were absolutely helpless They
could do nothing to protect themselves.
All they could do was to sit still and SUBJ
NIT to the indignity. Some day the mag
mates may learn that their responsibility
does not end with the selling of ticket
and the providing of a seat.-Philadelphia
