Tuesdays game by Tebeau's aggregation,
and was only saved from defeat by an error
by Wallace and the excellent support
given him by the Superbas.
TannehiIls pitching is decidedly erratic
this season. He often pitches faultless-
ly for two or three innings, then goes
all TO pieces and is forced to retire. Lee
yer, the Pirates second best pitcher, has
taken a slump and is unreliable. Manager
Donovan is having whole heaps of bother.
Howell is turning out TO be McGraw's
winning pitcher. He went into Tuesdays
game after it seemed hopelessiy LOST ana
pulled it out OF the fire OF defeat. The
hard hitting Colonels were unable to con-
meet with his delivery.
The exhibition on the Polo grounds
Tuesday was saffron hued in its garnish-
ments. Nine hits were made OF Meekin
in three innings, six OFF Tannehill in three
innings, four of Leever in three innings,
and two OFF Sparks in two innings. Out
side of the batting the game was feature
less. Only 500 people witnessed the show.
THE Washington public must be very
cold. l supposed when the $1,000 left
fielder Selbach, over whose departure
pans of bitter tears we're wept, came to
the plate he would be overwhelmed with
bouquets, jewelry, and other evidences of
admiration, but not posy, not scarf
pin-nothing to show the German Ambas-
sador that he still retains place in the
fans memories" remarked a Cincinnati
scribe in the press box. Alas, how soon
are ball players forgotteni
There is no palliation or excuse for the
present standing of the Philadelphia club.

are capable of doing they would be sec
ond in the race. The team is playing
below its standard, and Shettsline should
find out where the men go to get the
breezes from electric fans.
Selbach played here about five years and
during that time he never knocked a ball
over the left field fence. Tuesday he hit Il
high pitched ball and it bounded over the
fence, which was an accident. On this
scratch hit and its result the Red Legs
were enabled to win a game that the Sem
ators had stored away in their bat bags.
Yet this is a popularity of baseball.
The McGinnity bubble was again badly
punctured by the Colonels on Tuesday.
He was sent to the shade early in the
contest.
Hahn had Barry completely hypnotized
In Tuesdays game. He struck viciously at
space six times His inability to hit af-
fected his other work.
Col. John l. Rogers has on 4 new coat OF
war paint and is now in the saddle, ac-
coutred and equipped with all the modern
appliances of a relentless and unforgiving
warrior. His first campaign will be waged
against umpires who have been so unfor-
tunate as TO incur his displeasure. Lynch
and Connolly he declares, must not be
caught within the limits of his bailiwick,
upon the penalty OF direful consequences.
Smith is the only umpire who can come
into his domain under flag of truce From
now on the colonel means business
Director Abell of the Brooklyn club.
thinks 1t would be a blunder upon the part
OF Mr.. Brush to remove Ewing from the
game. He regards the Cincinnati man
ager as being superior to any of his pro-
posed successors in skill and knowledge
of the sport. Mr.. Abel correctly states
the case.
Jack Taylor pitched his first game-after
his long lay off-yesterday, and was rot
very effective. The Senators hit him for
twelve safeties, which. with errors, made
behind him, netted ten runs.
Dinneen pitched splendidly yesterday
The majority of the hits scored against
him were the result of ragged fielding
But four clean safeties were made off his
delivery.
