SPORTING NOTES.

SPORTING NOTES.
Providence today
This is ladies' day.
And Lampe, too, he still shines.
Miller is more than a conner. He has
arrived.
The knocks have changed into hand
They act more like nanny goats than
ponies.
sharrotts triple was an suspicious
opening.
Klobesdanz is an Orphan and Worcester
is bereft.
1t takes more than a few unframed
mustangs to do us.
Lampe pitched a strike in opening the
game and the crowd applauded.
Myers made a grand stop in the third.
which spoiled Murphy of a hit
The second baseman has arrived and
Worcester has begun to win again.
The Ponies went all to pieces again yes
terday-Springfield Union. Yes; and yes
terday
There were five hits for seven bases
and, sacrifice in the fourth inning yes
terday.
Springfield has mascot in the shape of
a bull pup. It needs more than mascot
to win.
NTTuDcr QInplreC SOOQ game yesterday,
although he did give Worcester the best
of 1t once.
Curley made a pretty bunSNn the sixth
and saved himself an out by a daring
slide to first.
The Ponies couldn't get away from
Gruber esterday.-Springfie Union Nor
| themselves, either
There was life in the playing of the
Worcesters yesterday. They acted as if
they intended TO win.
If the Worcesters had yesterdays
! team in Springfield, the latter club
couldn't win in month.
Griffith, Garvin and Klobedanz will
make strong trinity of twirlers for
Chicago. Callahan is not so bad, either.
Now that the GROWERS and grumblers
are quiet for moment, 1t will be seen
that we have not fallen so far down
after ALL
With the old pivot back in the outheld
and a new pivot in the centre of the in
| field, the nine ought to hold together in
| tolerable shape.
The second inning belonged to Murphy.
| He retired the Springfields with two as
sists and a put out, and opened the last
| half for Worcester with double.
| Gunson,s bat flew out of his hands
twice in the seventh. He was adviced by
the crowd to put glue on or tie it to him
| Carr made wonderful stop of Curley's
grounder grabbing the ball with his right
| hand as 1t bounded past Harrington
spoiled the play by muffing an easy throw
1t is not necessary because a team is
losing to try. to make out that, every
member of it is a dissolute debauchee, as
certain evening paper would have it's
| readers think.
Lampe retired the springfelds on FIVE
| pitched balls in the first inning He
pitched only ten in the fifth, and Baker
| had seven. of those, three balls, three
strikes and a foul.
1t was great ball playing that retired
| Hemming In the fourth. Kuhns made a
| magnificent stop FAR behind third base
and threw low to Carr. The latter
scooped 1t on q short bound.
| Campbell smashed the ball over the
| fence with one on base. He had a better
him up "benders," and Campbell struck
out. Everybody played ball yesterday
| F1isbee will certainly become great
| player. He was In Boston only short
time and learned to bunt properly. He
| did not turn his bat yesterday to bunt
| with the small end. Kuhns might take
pattern after him.
| Looks as If Jimmy Manning did not get
| much the better of his argument with
| Connaughton. That player would have
stood him In good stead this season. Con-
/ naughton has a good position in Clinton,
and plays ball Saturdays.
| THE trouble with the St. Louis team is
not dissatisfaction eliques;;. poor fielding,
1
1 malaria, plain, says Mexican. Going
from the large city, where such thing IS
| unknown, down into such a malaria in
| tested town as st. Louis was too much for
| the boys.
| Selee offered the recalcitrant Bergen to
| Pat Tebeau for Criger, and the St Louis
| ehieftain said he would consider the offer
! if Nichols and Collins were to be thrown
| in as good measure The Perfectos seem
| to have organized mutual admiration
! society, with Tebeau as high grand adj
nirer Chicago journal.
| The average fan does not like to see
| a bunt. Kuhns made three beautiful
sacrifice hunts day before yesterday, but
| did not get the applause he deserved.
The rooter likes to see batter slam at
It rather than to commit suicide on first,
| however generous his sacrifice Of life
may be.
| Cleveland has no base ball club. 1t ut
| terly repudiates the gang which Is parad-
| ing In the east under the name of the
| Clevelands and doesn't care continental
| whether or not 1t ever comes back to
Cleveland: Its display in the east would
excite ridicue. cleveland World
George o'Brien,, of the Connecticut
week. He wrote home yesterday to that
effect. o'Brien broke his arm several
days ago, a ball striking him. He tried
to come home but his services are SO
the earliest possible opportunity
Several members of the Chicago team
have been hauled over the Goals for
breaking the rules. During the recent
trip to New York President Hart, in or
der to find out what was going on, took a
seat In the Fifth Avenue Hotel corridor at
an early hour in the morning and buried
his face In a newspaper. AT o'clock
Large, Donahue and Callahan walked
into the hotel, apparently unobserved
They did not see Hart, but they heard
from him later.
Brockton has a stronger infield than
Worcester, Springfield, Montreal or Provi-
dence, the crack teams of the Eastern
League. Boston Globe. A rabbit can run
wonderfully fast until greyhound gets
after him. WORCESTER Spy. Granted; but
the truth of Murnane's statement cannot
be contradicted. -Brockton Times Let's
see about the truth of Murnane's state
ment. Rochester and Toronto, which
have been near the top all season. are not
mentioned among the crack" teams,
while Springfield and Providence, low
standing teams. are. Brockton's got
good team in its class, but the class Isn't
as high as that Of the Eastern League.
