tunate yesterday, getting hit twice on two
foul tips that were scorchers. and then
being hurt by Anderson's slide to the
plate.
Umpire Wood put Childs out of the game
in the first inning, and then refused TO
stand by his declaration, and that player
won the game for the Wandering Will
Ees."
1t was hard game on Gus weighing
He was pitching gilt-edged ball. and then
1t all went for naught through incompetent
work of Umpire Wood.
Many of the fans" had an idea that An
derson had lost his od-time batting eye
and was done for the season, but the way
that ball went out to the center field fence
dispelled this illusion.
Catcher Creiger has a great deal to say
for a new man in the league. His conver-
sation borders on impertinence. He was
yelling from the bench continually yester-
day. and Umpire Swartwood "let it go at
that"
After Manager Tebeau had lost two
grounders around first he came TO the
bench. and In jollving sort of way said
Why don't you send the balls over the
plate so they will bat the ball toward third,
where there is a ball player" Pat lost the
first one in the sun, but he said the second
was a rank error.
When Jimmy McAleer pulled down Gett-
mans fly in the eighth inning he doubtless
stopped rally and saved the game fer
his club McAleer's great sprinting and
y,
and it is just such plays like that of yes
terday that keeps Mac in the game, as his
batting is weak.
Umpire Swartwood's work lowers the
dignity of his position and does the game
no good when he permits the players to
talk to him so often and so familiarly. 1t
is very palpable that both Swartwood
ard Wood have a great deal of admira ton
for the Cleveland players.
Charley Farrell's hand is almost all
right again, and by Monday he will be in
shape to take his place behind the bat,
When Charley goes in Mcclure will go to
first and Anderson to center field, ant then
different story will be told when the
Write-up of the games is taken in hand.
When one of the fans yelled at Tcbeau
that he and his men had better go to
Cuba. you can't return to Cleveland" Jack
O'Conner said, THAT is the unkindest cut
of all. That man certainly has the drop
on us to a dead certainty
The 200 spectators of the Baltimore
Chicago game yesterday not only W.T.
messed a great contest IN which all the
beauties of the national game were
brought out. but they We're treated to a
sluggfng match between two of the visit
ir e players. 1t was all over a simple little
error, and the result of the badinage as to
whether Everett or Mccormick was re-
sponsibe for it. Everett said Mccormick
n ade the error and Mac said Everett
was the one responsible. Hot words fol-
lowed. and then they came together. In
clinch Everett landed an upper cut which

but MoCori MI was so badly used up that
he had to retire to the club house. The

not seem inclined to stop it. 1t is reported
