The times., 1897-08-28

The Senators shut out the tail enders
yesterday by score OF TO o. Bresna
Ian pitched for the home club and made
q good showing.
The Young pitcher was well schooled
by the Old Roman, who gave him that
support which comes by conscientious play
ing and keeping early hours All tie
Statesmen seemed imbued with the same
spirit, and put up game gainst the
hindermost club that was above criticism.
Not an error was made, and the nits came
iR OF cpnOTtune moments.
But tie other pitcher r-Suthoff-was not
without his glory, even in defeat by an
eleventh place club. The first inning was
& record breaker. He Retired the side with
three Iitched balls, feat unparalleled
in the history Of baseball. He held the
heavy hitting Toga wea reTs down 70 five
hits. He is built much on the order Of
Bresna nallaa-short, stout and stocky. How
ever the st. Louis management provided
linn with pair OF better lifting knicker-
becker pantaIoons than those worn by the
Senator. Probably that accounts for the
one hit to his credit.
DeM0ntrerille demonstrated the wisdom
OF The Times suggestion that he would
make hetter second baseman than Short
stop. He went far out into the field for
fly balls and got them, and on grounders
he was q genuine fiend. Al the bat he
was as good as any other Senator.
GettIuan is forced 10 be patient by reason
Of llo oppor ranities. Again yesterday the
Texas Lacquer was like fellow who has
q Job with no work. He did not have a
chance in the field, and as getter to
first his sprinting qualifications were like
a lot Of bad cabbage in the hands OF a
commission merchant.
Tucker was not the efferyescent fellow
or other days He was quiet, and there
was some real coaching by the younger
element. But he played first-class bail,
aud some Of his fifteen put-outs We're
executed ia a manner Which allowed NO
other thought than that he was in the
game for keeps-no doubt having read that
the Senatorial magnate had omitted his
name from his prospective nine for next
year"
Nugley and Reilly acquitted themselves
In a glory fashioned after a successful
reyiTalist. They made repentant bats
men applaud their work, and had an
opportunity been presented to carry out
evangelistic ideas IN the way OF colec-
ton, the chances are that they could have
reaped a nice coin harvest The blonde
infielder distinguished himself by grabbing
Turner'S hit in the fourth and touching
Hartman going to third and then throwing
the batter out It first
Selbach went beyond the foul line in the
ninth aud easily captured Turner's fly,
holding q runner at second His other two
putouts were not so easy, but he caught
them with the usual Il have it yell Tom
Brown had but single chance, and he
took It as easily as the veteran steyedores
handle Eastern Branch melons
Steady work by the pitchers, sharp field
ing and weak hitting generally make a
game featureless, and as yesterdays con
test was Of this make up, the spectators
got an early dinner and the smoker en-
3oyeJ his usual fragrant Havana
The only hope the Browns had to score
WAS in tie ninth. Douglas singled, and
after Cross went out Hartman got pass
Both moved up a base on short passed
ball. Turner was retired by Selbach.
Then came Lally, who had already two
-AA - 'iA~ N-iNs eAAN eAuAAts Aoohea biUc
for shut out. The coachers were piking
ut Bresnahan, but the youthful Buckeye
was STEADY, and DeMontreville took the
Western Leagner's sharp hit, easily getting
his man at first.
In The second inning the Senators scored
two runs. Brown walked TO first, and
then sprinted to third on lockers single
The latter stole second by working the other
fellows, Brown aiding in the trick. A mo-
ment later Reilly bingled into left and the
ice was broken.
Old Roman Mcguire touched one of Sut-
hoff's stFaights for three bases In the sew,
