The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-08-08

way. You should never have let Nyce's
hit get past yesterday.
Boyle got a great reception when he
came to the bat the first time
Now everything is settled and the Wor-
cesters ought to play better ball.
The Worcester inhelders are not the
only ones on the worrying committee
Davis ran like a deer in the fifth when
he made third from first on an inf1eld
out
It was laughable TO see how awkwardly
Dunkle struck out when he batted right
handed
Walters made one of the neatest hunts
or the season, and the crowd was liberal
in its applause.
Griffin, Dyer, Putnam and several mem
bers of the Webster ball team were at the
game yesterday.
Worcester goes to Providence today and
will net return until Saturday. Then they
play the champions at the oval.
The howl that went up from the fans
after Kuhns made his homer in the ninth,
rivals the war cry of any Apache tribe
Every race track in the east is bearing
testimony to the fact that Baron Wilkes
hasn't lost his power to produce win
ners.
No use talking, but Worcester is a good
ball town. Yesterdays crowd was a big
one after such a defeat as the team got
Saturday.
Dunkle made a throw which rivals fa-
nous one made by Dad Clark. Dad threw
the ball about two feet. Dunkle beat it
about an inch.
The. crowd warmed up toward Gruber
early in the game. His failure to see Her
non tip Boyle's arm brought them on him
with both feet
Klobedanz lost good thing by not re-
porting in season. He was told to, and
should have done so, as Chicago wanted
pitcher badly.
Gardner thinks he does not care to play
In Worcester. Well he isn't the only one
who feels that wav, unless he can play
better than he has done thus far.
Charlie Scott thinks he is a hoodoo for
the Worcesters. He left the grandstand
yesterday before the ninth inning Some
body ought to hire Charlie to stay away.
Manager Leonard did good trick last
tween Moran and Moynihan Worcester
is the place to pull off the race, and not
Westfield. Worcester people want to see
the race.
!, Every fan is sorry for Joe Harrington.
Harrington made errors but he never
played for a record, as some of the team
are doing right along. Had he done SO he
would not have made the errors but the
team would suffer more than they did by
his errors
Among the local horses to start at
Nashua, N. H., this week, are Jennie
Hale and Yukon, in the 2:1S class pace,
ana BABY IN the 1ree-TOr-all.
1t looks from the road as if Walter will
be forced to step the little mare il she
is to carry off the money in the latter
race. Baby will have to go against
Blossom and Chico.
The second meeting of the season at
the Old Orchard kite track will open
this morning. These Worcester horses
2:15 pace; Paddy d. and Valence, in the
2:10 trot; Marjorie in the 2:12 pace; Peter
Turney, in the 2:12 pace. This will be the
first time the last two horses have met
in race, and If the two are right and
ready to go, the outcome of the race will
be watched with interest.
One of the best arguments for the dou-
Bile umpire system was given by UmpiTe
said: ut is easier work in the National
League than it is in the Western League.
The reason is evident. In the league you
have a partner to look after base deci-
sons. In the Western League 1t was a
case OF going it single-handed. Manas-
sau has a record of missing one game in
four seasons, and then he lost his boat
Charlie Kuhns did the same trick in the
game of June 3 with the Springfields. In
the last of the ninth the score stood to
In favor of the Springfields. Three runs
had been made, and there were two men
out when he came to the bat. Wheeler
and Klobedanz were on third and second
respectively. Kuhns smashed the ball over
the right field fence, sending In two runs
and winning the game Kuhns did not re-
ceive a home run for that hit as the
game was finished before he could score,
PLAYERS are not retained on well man
aged ball teams when they show marked
decline, and there Is no good reason why
umpires should stand any better than
players. Either Mr.. Young or another
competent official should tour the league
circuit, keeping a strict watch over the
league umpires, especially those umpiring
behind the plate, who often grow careless
and need few words of advice Balti-
more News. AS matter Of fact, the UNI
pires are retained until their incompe-
tency Is so marked that they fall off by
their own weight. II Is an open secret
that MIR. Young retains them to the very
end. What a system!-Boston Herald.
All the western writers who saw young
Bailey pitch praised him highly Grillo
said In the Cincinnati Commercial TrI-
bune: Young Bailey Of the Bostons is one
OF the most promising youngsters that have
stepped into the National League for some
time. 1t must be remembered that Bailey
really halls. from nowhere from a base
a league of any kind, but was playing
with an independent club at South Bend,
Ind. Without ever having had the In
structions that the average pitcher gains
during few years minor league expert
ence, Bailey is making a very creditable
record for himself The GOODNESS of this
youngster when he is in a tight hole Is
worthy OF mention. and should serve as a
standard Il some Of tho older pitchers
