BASEBALL YESTERDAY.
The Victors and the Vanquished on the
Bloodless Field of Contest.

Brooklyn, Aug. 4.-Although the
Washingtons arrived at Eastern Park to-
day, but a few moments before the time
for play, their train being late, they
managed to put up a game that would
be credit to any club. 1t was not until
the eleventh inning that the home club
was able to claim the victory. Shoch's
two-bagger and Grimes single did the
trick. ShOch was the hero of the day
in the field, while Anderson and Grim
shared in the batting honors. Atten-
dance, 1,410. Score:

Louisville, Aug. 1.-Two games were
to have been played to-day, but in the
second inning of the first game, with the
score to 3 in the home teams favor,
Burkett called Umpire Wolfe a vile
name, and was ordered out of the game
Captain Tebeau refused to put a man
in to bat for Burkett, and after waiting
five minutes Wolf gave the game to
Louisville, 8 to 0. The Indians played
as if they did not care whether school
kept or not, in the second game, and the
Colonels won easily. In the ninth inning
Burkett again insulted Umpire Wolf
and was ordered out of the game. He
refused to leave first base, and the um-
pire called two policemen and the In
dians' left fielder was forcibly elected
