With a grim determination to avenge
the defeat OF the preceding day Buck 5
Braves marched out on the diamond at
National Park yesterday afternoon, and
how well they succeeded the scores only
too plainly show. In the first game the
Senators looked like sure winners up to
the sixth inning, but after that time the
Reds had ii all their own way, and walk
ed off with the game in the hoIlowest
style imaginable. Dneen occupied the
box for the home team, and was some
what Of a puzzle until the fifth inning,
when the visitors got onto his curves and
hammered him hard until he was re-
placed by weighing in the seventh Gus
was tolerably effective until the final in
ming, when the red legs opened up a bonn
bardment, and knocked out five tallies
before the side was retired
The game was a smuggling match on
both sides. for the Senators compelled
Damman to go to the bench in the sixth
and Hawley was substituted.
AS in Wednesdays game. sensational
fielding was the feature of the game. In
the first inning Selbach made the greatest
catch ever seen on the field at National
Park. With Smith on second, Corcoran
on first and one out, Beckley landed a
line drive towards left. Selbach was
playing deep, but made dash for the
ball and after a hard run, got it in his
mitt, when 1t was within four or five
inches of the ground. After securing the
sphere the Baron gave an involuntary ex-
hibiuon of somersault turning, but re-
covered in time to get the ball to Wrig-
ley and complete a double play, with
Smith as the victim. The other honors
in the field were shared by Wrigley, An
derson, Fields. Gettman. Wagner, Nc
Bride and Corcoran.
The manner in which some of the spec
tators jeered and hooted Jimmy Fields
was disgraceful and also disgusting to all
lovers of fair play and genuine sporting
men. Prior to coming to this city Fields
had not taken part in a game for three
weeks owing TO an injury of the right
| hand and was certainly entitled to some
| consideration. The incident of yesterday
was blot on the history of baseball in
this city, and it is 10 be hoped that such
a scene will not be repeated on the
! grounds.
