Manchester Wins Its Match With
the American Cricketers.
CT RRENT SPORTING NOTES
Record of the Clubs.

For one inning it looked as if the base
ball contest between the Washington and
St Louis clubs yesterday was going to be
close and interesting one. Then the
Senatorial batsmen began to WORKOUT
their shoulders up 'aggen it"-and the only
bit of interest remaining was whether the
visitors would score. After they had scored
all that remained was to guy the strangers.
The spectators on the 3d-base line seemed
to be on unfriendly terms with Monte
Cross. the lithe-limbed shortstop of the
Browns. and employed every opportunity
to make known their feelings. After Cross
had made a particularly bad throw to
Grady one dsgusted fan yelled out, "Ah
yuh cuddent throw watermelons into a
wagon
1t was very rare sensation sitting back
comfortably, sure of victory and free to
guy the opposition. We have not had the
experience since last year at this time
when. under Scrappy Bill, the Senators
were besting all Corners. The attendance
was larger than on Wednesday-not a great
deal larger. The "steadies' were all there
the "Cccasonals" will come out in numbers
as soon as they are convinced that the in
lection of elixir into the team will have a
permanent effect. Every one present
seemed pleased with the new life shown
by the local men. OF course it is much
easier to play lively game when the team
is hitting the ball, yet even with weak hit
ting there is no reason why the boys should
not continue to Jolly" one another in the
field, and stick to it until something drops
Apparently there Is harmony in the team
and lack of that constraint that was for
merry noticeable. Every man seems bent
on success, which goes great way toward
winning.
Tom Browns idea that 1t is better to
hit the ball hard in the opening innings
than to sacrifice has been justified in the
past two games. The home team began
hitting in the secold inning yesterday and
kept it up until Pitcher kissinger was
driven out of the box and Hart substituted.
The visitors hit Silver Kings delivery
hard at times. as eight put-outs by the
outfeld indicate. Each of the three local
outheiders made star catch, one by Abb
hey, who took the ball at his ankles while
on a run. being noteworthy.
There is no fault to be found with the
playing Of the locals in the past two games.
Even defeat would be not unpleasant If
local player but Selbach and O'Brien hit
safely. Tucker leading with three. of which
two were doubles. Abbey also had a brace
of zweiSockers.
Douglass, the clever ST. Louis outfielder,
who has tried about every position but
pitcher. went behind the bat and was
knocked out by a foul tip and retired.
Morgan Murphy taking his place.
The new life of the Browns not Wis
ible to the ordinary observer not provided
with binoculars. With Tuck Turner, Hall
man and Murphy out the team looks very
seamy. The Torontos should beat it two
out of three. It's about the weakest ag-
gregation the mound city has sent here in
some years. and that's saying good deal.
