Base Ball Notes.

No game today.
Washington and Louisville play double
header tomorrow.
Freeman was in both games up to the
neck. He secured four hits in the first and
a homer and a steal home in the second.
Quite prominent, Ell?
Cleve,ands outfield is not so bad. Hemp
hill. Dowd and Harley can be carried with
profit by any club. The Wanderers weak
spots are in the pitchers box and infield.
Ex-senator Duncan certainly placed his
old companions in pretty mess with his
home run All he had to do was to bat into
right field and be satisfied with a hit an
out. but he was cratic yesterday his long
fly striking in the swoodpile near the left
field fence, bounding into the hospital
grounds and the game was tied. Dunk
also Played well at first.
Tomorrow the real thing will be on ex-
hibtion in the shape of the Louisvilles.
This band of thoroughbred Kentuckians are
going about the country with chips on their
shoulders and making good in every city.
The Colonels have five games in Washing
ton, and Fred Clarke remarked last night
that he wanted five straight nothing,
and his club is playing as If he meant it.
Thomas Fleming, an outfielder with the
claimed by the Washington cub, but will
not report before next spring. Fleming is
the young man who made such a good
showing against the Senators when they
played in Providence, and his work has
been closely watched ever since.
Catcher Powers arrived in town from
Louisville yesterday and will probably be
in one of the games tomorrow. Kittridge is
still handicapped with bad leg. and the
little fellow feels his shortcoming. kit
will probably be kept on the bench for the
remainder of the season and McManus,
Roach and Powers fill out the bill. McMan-
us work yesterday strictly gilt edge,
his throwing being unusually true and eff
fective.
1t is to be hoped that Manager Irwin will
give the spectators at National Park to-
morrow afternoon and throughout the
Louisville series run for their money"
AS the Senators now stand they are weak
at short and second. Scheibeck is in good
form and Padden Is apparently so. With
these two men in their places the Colonies
Will have to extend themselves to win,
and at the same time the onlookers will
be afforded numerous opportunities of wit
Messing fine plays.
The BROOKLYN club has purchased the re-
lease of lntielder, WrtSley from the SYRIA
cuse club. He has been playing illegally
with the New YoTks. but President Powers
notified Manager Hoey yesterday that he
was not entitled to the players services
Wrig.ey will report to the Brooklyn club
probably tomorrow. Catcher Steelman, who
is with the Louisfillesj is also the property
OF the Syracuse club. He cannot remain
with Louisville unless that club buys his
release. 1t is undeSstood that Brooklyn paid
$500 for Wrigley.--N. y. Sun.
