southsider Kinen has been forgiven for
bis shortcomings, and has again donned
the sroketown uniform. Yesterday he
started to pitch, but he had to leave the
rubber because of an injury TO his pitching
hand in the first inning. He attempted to
stop Selbach's bounder. 1t was vicious
swipe, and the wonder is that it did not
carry away The twirIer's hand. It knocked
aB the cunning out OF c, however. Then
came Gov. Hastings, who really pitched
good game. He did not get gilt-edged sup
port, and claimed that he got the worst of
1T from the umpire, and the chances aretha
there is some foundation for the claim.
Dr. McJ ames was the Senatorial middle
man, and was as conspicuous m admins
tering defeAt to the Pirates as this same In
oividual IS in any transaction that brings
success TO anything in which he has
hand and voice. He had the visitors on
his staff, and seven men failed to connect
with his delivery. Manager Donovan was
9 double victim, and Harry Davis pat
termed after his chief to a nicely. Hastings
also fell before the South Carolina physl-
clan with two doses.
Tucker again gave the audience super
fluffy hisstereoty yped phrases on thecoach.
ing line. he is always happy when trying
60 disconcelt the pitcher and not watch the
men on the bases. His antics are as gro
tesque as a double hump on an aged camel,
and his voice is like the sound OF duh
cross-cut saw plowing ifs way through
piece Of locust on a frosty morning. But
he displayed the same earnestness which
has chara cterized his playing with the
Senators.
Nrigl-y gave an exhibition OF short
field pIa ying ia scooping Brodie's hit
on trap, preventing the swift going
runner from getting TO first. Ttwas a mar
velous pickup, and the exoriole was
much surprised when the haIl reached the
initial tag ahead OF him. The yea Ring
made The only error charged against the
hCme team on low throw to second, when
he had plenty Of time to field The ball
properly.
The fine playing Of DeMontreville at
Recond is evidence that ehas been too long
kept cut Of his position. Yesterday he
went vHt into the field and captured fly
and covered the bag 10 the fashion of
Cupid childs.
Capt. Tom Brown did not play and his
reversal OF ideas in the Development Of
youngsters is much to his credit He put
Leahy in in his stead, but the little fel.
low had DO opportunity 10 show his worth
He made one hit, but was run down be
tween third and home, because some
one blundered in base running.
SelbaCh took q brace in batting and
made the same number OF runs as ne did
hits Getuman has had less TO do in the
last three or four games than any other
right fielder in the League, but whatever
comes his way is properly taken care
Of Reilly's feint at Donovans hit in the
first was very much of the order Of :.
fellow who plays for a record. His bluff
at the umpire when decided out at second
was ia keeping with his attitudinizing in
game OF ball.
The I-am-the-umpire idea was beauti-
fully brought 70 light by Mr.. Kelly, who
officiated yesterday. He was unsatisfac-
tory TO both teams, and put fine OF SO
on Padden because tba latter wanted to be
q little humorous, and IL the fine goes Presi-
dent Young ought TO remit it. This same
Individual called game when the Pirates
finished the first half or the seventh in
ming. Kelly said 1t was too dark, but "a
large proportion OF the audience yelled
''Play ball. Manager Donovan called
attention to the fact that the sun had
not gone down. hut Kelly was as dumb as
an oyster to the appeal.
The patrons OF the game were dissatis-
fled With the decision, and it is extremely
Doubtful If the young man can give sat
sEfactory reason why he deprived the peo-
pie who gave up their money to see
q game Of ball Of witnessing full game
mfr, Kelly should be more consIderate in
his Judgment for the benefit of the cranks
