Again Manager Schmelz used poor judg

closer TO the game.
The cry of umpire is heard. 1t is no
doubt unsuitable. Timothy Hurst was
very much off while n Washington.
Beckley is gradually sliding down the
batting list of the Giants, and there is mt
much left to keep him from sliding entirely
off.
Cooley caught line hit off McPhee's
bat yesterday while sliding on his stomach,
having fallen after hard run. He made
double play at second.
Emig, who last year convinced McGon-
pf,rla har of Ha I pn1ict hot
he could pitch and who the Senators hatted
all over thefield, is now pla wing for Dayton.
The other day he gave the strong Toledos
only four hits.
Up to the present time Holmes, who was
taken in exchange by the New Yorks for
Stafford, who is now playing short for the
Colonies, has not come up to expectations,
while the latter is putting up a good
game for Louisville.
The mighty Amos RuSie got the worst
Of a pitchers battle in the game between

burg made five hits off Rusie and two
errors, while "Scrappy' Bins team re-
versed the figures, making two nits and
five errors.
The Pittsburg Dispatch says: The Col
onels are keeping up the gait with which
they started out, and that is winning one.
If they had another pitcher to depend on
they would be all right. The Colts continue
to play far below their hest form. The
Brooklyns are playing their usual game:
so are the senators, and the Browns ought
not to DC in tile League.
The Cleveland Leader seems to give it
up early in the game, Speaking Of the
Baltimores it says: Even with the add-
ton of Sockalexis and Wallace, the In
dams do not stand a great show of winning
the pennant from this notable aggregation.
1t may be that the long-eXpected tumble
of the Orioles will yet come, but it was
looked for all last summer and thus far this
wear and has never happened yet"

MERCER LOST THE GAME
His Substitution for Swain Prov

One Run-Notes of the Game.

Washington used three pitchers in yes
terday's game with the Indians at Cleve-
land, and although they hatted and fielded
as well as Tebeau's aggregation their
hits were more scattered and their errors
more disastrous. Dr. McJames was all right
in the first inning, but when the Medicine
Man OF the West faced the Medicine Man of
the East and went out he vowed a VOW
against the paleface sawbones that his
wigwam should know him no more until
he had made hitoff the South Carolinian.
lie landed onto one of Jimmie's twist
ers in the second, which made an even
half dozen safe hits for his tribe in that
inning, and as Manager Schmelz thinks
six hits off pitcher in one inning is more
than plenty he left MCJames on the
bench when the third inning opened, and
sent Swain to the rubber
The big fellow pitched a splendid game
for the six innings he officiated, and IL
is unfortunate that circumstances com
PEELED his retirement in the ninth That
sending Mcclure to the bat in the last
inning in place of Swain was good Judg-
neht no one can doubt, especially as the
former made hit and afterward scored
himself; but the necessity of substitute
ing a pitcher who had not had time TO
warm up, IN place of one who had his
opponents we'll in hand made the thing
about as broad as it was long. Hillary
really won the game after il had been
lost, and it was tough luck to the young
ster to have a seasoned pitcher lose it in
the ninth.
Mercer was not at all effective in the
one inning hc pitched, as the Spiders had
no trouble in batting out the game, with
only one man out. Besides, the East Liver
pool twirier hit a batter and gave a man
base on balls.
Mr. Wagner evidently believes that the
little set-toS between several Of his players
and the authenticated handler of the indi-
Gator, Hurst, initiates against the success
of the team. Being convinced that the UNI
pire's judgment is prejudiCed in deciding
plays in which those players take part, he
has sent a polite request to President Nick
Young that hereafter Hurst be not allowed
