No kick Is coming on the fielding OF the
Washington boys, but as lady IN me

! they would hit the ball ,
| Mr. Atherton may handle himself a little
stiff1y around third, but it will be notlced
| that there are very few grounders getting
| away from his grasp. He is rounding into
| form all right. nut,
| DAVIS game evidently made good impress
| sion on Manager irwin, as Winnie was
| back in the game yesterday, renewing
| Barry in left field. MERGERS throw to the
| plate to catch Burkett was a beauty ana
| would have nailed almost any one except
| the speedy St. Louis boy.
1t is very seldom that player new to
| CITY can make the friends that DICK PAD
| den has made in this city. lie has the
! crowd with him to a man, and there Is
| hardly one of them that would trace nun nm
even up for RetZ. Dick has his wits about
| him ali the time and on one play yesterday
| gave display of quick thinking. Inc m
| field had closed in to keep Mexican from
| going home on an niield hit, and line iiy
| was batted directly into Padden's hands
| 1t was so swift that Dick knew the big
| fellow would not try for home, ana on lhe
| instant of catching the ball, he made a
| hraak for second, endeavoring to catch
| runner off that bag. and came very near
| doing it, Dick was given a hand Tor the
play. , , 800 ,,,,
| stftious? The WashiHgtOns We're winning
games on the trip with a crippled payer
in left field and a novice IN the miie!o'
! Rofh these places We're plugged up as soon
| as th, club reached PittSburg, and the
team hasn't won a game since 1t seems
to be the winning rule to play comDlha-
ton no matter how raw 1t may be until
a game is lost and then make the change.
| Manager Irwin says he wouldn have MADE
the shift but that O'Brien was in such a
| condition that it was case of SUFFERING
| every time he went into the game.
Pitcher Hughes Of Brooklyn, has Won
ten out of eleven games pitched this sea
son. Hanlon knew his business when he
came to terms with the California twirler.
Hughes is worth any advance he asked Tor
from the Brooklyn management.
Secretary Heilbronner Of the st. Louis
saws that the "Perfectos have drawn
more persons by 10000 than any club In
the League this season. The club mas al,
ready drawn 5000 persons at o home sang and
not be a good Monday attendance In St
| Louis.
Yesterday as soon the Pirates went
out for practice cries came from all sides
| Where is Reddy" Beaumont is as game
as anybody, but when 1000 excited fans

Tucker should not only be allowed tc
coach at all times, but the management
should request it as favor, as ne puts
some life into the game.-Boston GLOBE
! That is a fact that will not be disputed by
y | those who attend games IN this city
n | fuckers coaching is lively anu enefSeNc
, but never offensive He is the life OF
3 games and the more he Is seen on the lltles
. the better the patrons seem to ike II.
! Two striking changes occurred IN tht
positions of the league teams as the result
"a | of yesterdays games. Chicago, deIeateC
= | by Baltimore had to surrender 1ouflh pace
6 | to Philadelphia who vanquished PIttsburg
| while Cincinnati, defeated by Boston, wa!
2 forced back into the second DIVISION, Balli
2 more stepping up 10 sixth place. BFooklyi
;, | kept up its winning streak and took a game
l. from Cleveland that seemed hopelessly lost
It | while New York defeated Louisville IN tn'
y | last inning of a game that was remarkable
y | for poor pitching, fierce hitting and loos'
n | fielding.
y Tim Hurst walked in at the New Yorl
: grand stand entrance Thursday. and tn
2 first person he met was John t. Brush
Who made the first offer to shake hand
will perhaps never be known, but shak
they did, and there's an end to 1t. Ihel
g they walked over into corner and held 1
y prolonged conference. Much Significance
: was attached to the meeting by the wis
n ones, who know that Hurst has been KEEP
off the umpire staff this year through tn
, opposition of the Cincinnati club, on &C
n count of that throwing of the beer glass b.
@ hurst on the Cincinnati grounds last year
O Hurst has been umpirlng all or the Leading
0 college games this year. 1t Is thought, nov
that President Brush and Hurst have com
U together, that Timothy will soon be reap
n | pointed an umpire, in view OF the yellow
i work being done by some Of the presen
Judges of play.-Cincinnau Tribune.
