How the Big baltimore Catcher Wns

In the first inning Saturday Catcher Rob-
ison of the Baltimores was spiked at the
home plate by McPhee and his injuries
are so serious that they are apt to ruin the
great player for life. McPhee was on
third base when Vaughn hit a short fly to
left. Kelley's throw to the plate was true.
but. by fast running. McPhee made the
play close. AS he neared the plate he slid
feet first. Robson was blocking the plate.
and Bids knee sank deep into the knee of
Robison's right leg. Robson ran toward the
Baltimores' bench. but before he reached
there he fell to the ground, suffering agon-
izing pain. A surgeon was called and Robi-
son as carried off the field into the Reds
club house where his injuries were dressed.
The cut in Robisons knee is fully four
inches long, and almost lays the joint
bones hare Even & speedy cure will keep

least. Without Robson the champions
will be badly crippled in the catching de-
partment unless Jack Doyle is brought
behind the bat. McPhee. too. was injured
in sliding into Robson. The ankle of his
right leg was badly swollen after the
game. from which he was forced to retire
in the seventh inning, Holiday taking his

Record of the Clubs.

Yesterdays game at Chicago was not q
good one to look at, but as the Senators
won. any old thing will do for us. Mercer
was sent to the slab for the Senators and
pitched good ball. Notwithstanding his mis-
cradle support. the players back of him
having total of nine errors, enough to
lose any ordinary game. But yesterdays
game was not ordinary, the hitting of the
Washingtons being an agreeable surprise to
the home enthusiasts, who had about come
to the conclusion that as hitters they were
in class by themselves at the bottom of the
list. Briggs did the twirling for the Chi
Cages. and, besides twirling very poorly,
fielded his position like an amateur, failing
in several cases to cover first, thereby al
lowing several additional runs to be made
by this oversight.
When game was called by Umpires Nc
Donald and O'Day fully 1900 people had
passed through the turnstiles and were
clamoring for the Chicagos to win like only
a Sunday crowd can. Every player on the
Washington side Of the game got one or
more hits, Cartwright getting three and
Mercer and Brown doing likewise, one OF
Wins hits going down for q three-baser,
bringing In two runs. The fielding of the
Senators was thing to deplore. the play
ers in the outfield being the only ones that
kept from making a misplay. Luck was
with the Senators in this game, as many of
their errors went for naught and failed to
offset the great hitting of the team.
Almost the same account will answer for
the Chicago side OF the story. Every one
of the colts secured a hit. but they played
without life, and errors of judgment were
more costly than real mispiays. Everett
started In to play third. but he has been I'M
der the weather for some time and Callahan
took his place in the second inning. In the
fifth Callahan also hurt himself in going to
second on fast play and had to retire,
Mccormick coming into the game in his
place.
In the ninth inning a regular pugilistic
encounter took place between big Bill
Lange and O.Brien. The former dashed
down to second on d fast intieid play and
the second basemans arms. This SO en-
ragged O'Bfien that he gave the big fellow
one from the shoulder that landed on the
latter's stomach. and he came back with
one that graZed the second paSem1n's head.
During the melee thousands of spectators
rushed on to the field from the bleachers,
and things looked squally for the plucky
little Senator. DeMontreville and Umpire
O'Ddy pulled the scrappers apart, and IT.
Gle Arson persuaded the crowd to get back
into the seats. and the game procee1e1 and
eEded with Ryan striking out.
Grant Briggs was put in 10 pitch for the
Chicagos, but for some reason wanted to
quit, but Arson refused this permission,
and from the third to the end of the game
the Chicago pitcher did his work in a half
hearted manner.
