Quaker City Comment.
From Todays Philadelphia Times
1t was not swaim's fault
Taylor will pitch this afternoon.
Wrigley seems to fit in anywhere.
Mceiuirc's throwing was away off
Washington's fielding was not gilt-edged
Setback and Brown had a busy day IN Il. e
field.
Mcclure had Gillen at the plate in the
sixth.
Dowd's stop of Germans hit in the first
was neat.
That one fast game seems to have
pumped them out.
They worked the 'hit-and-run game" we'll
in the first.
Our sixth was kind of large thanks tn
those two errors.
Wrisley's misplay in the seventh was
very amateursh
DeMontrevilles hand seemed IN haitian
him a great deal.
Tucker could have used a net to good
advantage yesterday.
Farrelrs foolish coaching at third retired
Mcclure at the plate.
For an everyday, Steady-goiae catcher
don't overlook Mcclure
Mcclure caught Boyle nicely in the fourth
on BLUM throw to second.
Old LaJ was again the victim Of good
needing. Setback earned ringer on his
catch in the first.
Wrigley's catch off Cooley and his
doubling up CT Cross at second in the
eighth was neat piece Of fielding.
Dowd's catch of Browns hit in the sixth
set on the skyrockets. 1t was a pretty
one-handed effort and was well received
One of the comical sights of the game
was to see Swain. who tops feet 5 inches
carrier, scarcely three feet high, together.
Base Ball Notes.
For the third ard last time on this trip
the Senators will go against the ouakers
today. and. as 1t is likely to be Mercer
against Taylor, at least one game should
come our way.
The st. Louis-Circinnati game at ST.
Louis yesterday was stopped on account of
rain In the third inning. with the score 4
to In favor OF the home club. Twenty
five hundred people had turned ont TO vel
come home the reconstructed Browns.
tucker had his first or day since he
joined the Senators, his three errors
doubtless being brought about through his
injured hand. Captain Brown has told
Tom to take couple of days Off but he
refused. knowing the difficulty of filling his
position. With OBrien and Reilly out of
the game. the infield is necessarily weak
With view to securing admission of
Montreal INTO the circuit of the Eastern
League of Base Bali Clubs the Montreal
Base Ball Association has oeeu formed
with a capital of $4,000. The intention is
to buy out the Wilkesbarre franchise
winch. II Is understood, can be secured on
reasonable terms.
Once in a while an oddity springs up in
base ball. Not once in q thousand times
will a base ball game be played without
either the second or third baseman having
single chance. In the l-to-0 game be-
tween the Rait.mcres and Bostons neither
McGraw nor Rietz had a put out, an as
sist or an error.
James ]. Buckley, one of the managers
of the Rochester Base Ball Team was ac-
quilted Monday of the charge of violating
the Sunday law. Buckley, the other two
proprietors of the team and all the MEM
bers of the club were recently indicted by
the grand jury for playing ball on Sunday.
The indictment was erroneous, as 1t
charged him with actual playing.
During the morning practice yesterday
Tuck Turner, the Browns heavy hitting
outfelder, wrenched his ankle and it will
be fully ten days or two weeks before he
will be able to resume his place OH the
team. In the meantime, Douglas will he
played in right garden. Morgan Murphy
doing most of the backstopping.
There was a marked contrast in the
fielding of the Washingtons yesterday COM
pared with their work at home. II only
goes to prove how a team may be thrown
out Of keller when A pair of infielders are
compelled to lag Off
Those Bostons will come back says
Patrick Oliver Tebeau. They are biting
away ahead of their natural strength and
they can't keep it up all summer Just
wait till we get 'em out in this part of the
country, and, by the way, be kind enough
to pay q little attention TO us from now Oh.
We're going to head off some of those gal
Looping eastern teams, and when we get to
the stretch Wen be in the fight ourselves"
