Base ball Notes.
Brooklyn-Cincinnati game, in the latter
city. was postponed on account of rain
George Davis made three Of the four hits
credited to the Giants in the first game
yesterday.
Buck" Freeman found Taylor to his Tx
ing yesterday. his two triples helping the
Bostons to win the first game.
Lever and Chesbro must have pitched
splendid ball yesterday when they can hold
the New YOrks down to seven hits in eight
cen innings.
Wolverton has been going around the cir
cult posing as a scrapper, and he got ex-
actly what was coming to him yesterday
McGann has never started a row, but he
would have been a coward to have taken u
deliberate spiking.
Detroit and Indianapolis played a fifteen
inning game yesterday. in the former city,
the Hoosiers finally winning out by the
score Of to 2. as a result Of a rally at
the bat in their last turn on the rubber.
The Pittsburgs are well barricaded in
second place. and should the Brooklyns slip
a couple of cogs exciting finish will be
sure to follow. So far the champions have
not been doing well on this last trip
through the west.
President Brush's rowdy resolution of
three years ago would have fixed tho
sCrappers on the diamond for all time, and
1t Is a foregone conclusion that many of
the magnates now wish they had backed
the Cincinnati magnate up and made his
proposition league law.
'Topsy" Hartsel a fielder, and George
Magoon, a second baseman, now with In
dianapolis, have been secured by the Gin
clnnati club, and will join that organization
when the American League finishes the
season. Both are credited with being fast
men in the field and on the bases and also
good stickers.
Had Phillips been in the form that he has
displayed lately early in the season the
Cincinnatis would be much better of today.
In the last few games Phillips has pitched
he has proven that he is still one Of the
best in the league. His work Monday was
superb.
Doyle is undoubtedly the hardest man in
the business for baseman to touch when
he is stealing. Even when the baseman
has the ball in his hands and Is waiting
for Doyle to come up to be put out he fire.
Quently swings himself out of the way and
gains his base.
Says Tim Murnane. the well-known Bos-
ton scribe: But as said before Freeman
will not be a Hugh Jennings. There. to
my mind. Is the greatest man who ever
played first base. You know we used to
have an idea that nothing could approach
Tepny. Fred is a fine first baseman but
he is distanced badly when in comparison
with Jennings The latter covers moro
ground and gets more chances, too than
were ever thought of before in connection
with first baseman. His great fielding of
the first base position Is helping the Brook
lyns In winning games, and don't you for
get it."
There will be two rules passed next sea-
son which will make the games shorter"
said Manager Hanlon yesterday Il saw
they will be passed, but should say that
l VIII be in favor Of passing these measures
In the .lrst place. there should be rule
which charges the batsman with strike
every time he makes two fouls, whether in
tent1onally or otherwise. This will prevent
the practice of fouling balls off. Further
more. pitcher should be limited as to the
amount Of time he may waste holding the
pail. Ten seconds would be plenty 1t is
because these things are practiced that the
games are so long. 1 shall advocate the
passage of these measures"
Bill Everett, the old Chicago first ha ga
man, who really belongs to Kansas CITY.
announced recently that he Is out of base
bal! for good. Everett knows or at least
ne thinks ne knows. something about race
horses. Ever since he retired from the Chi
cago club he has put in all his time at the
race tracks. Tickle fortune has proved kind
TO him, and men who are In a position to
amount to over 5000. Everett has not
handled ball for two months, and al
though Manning told him to name his own
price to play first base for Kansas City.
the chances are that II Everett accepted
this offer and Joined the team he could not
give satisfaction.
A cruel Josh" was perpetrated on "Buck''
Weaver during the progress of yesterdays
game. says the Denver Times. There were
two men on bases, with two out. The third
man was struck out. Buelow. for fun,
threw the ball hard and wide over first to-
ward Weaver. who evidently was not
aware that the side was retired and
thought 1t was an overthrow. The base
men started to run and Weaver went after
the ball in dead earnest. 1t had passed
him. but away he went in mad haste while
Lewee and Hickey were yelling to him to
hurry up, as the base runner had fallen
and there was yet a chance to cut him off
at the plate. The old Lacquer was pretty
sore when he discovered the joke.
Creedon-Peyton Bout Tonight.
Everything is in complete readiness for
the opening Of the new athletic club at
Chesapeake Junction this evening. An at
tractive program has been arranged, the
star feature of which is 25-round sparrtng
contest between Dan Creedon Of Australia
and Bill Peyton, the local champion. Cree
don is naturally the favorite in the betting.
because of his greater science, experience
and ring generalship. but Peyton has many
hackers. who expect his strength, pluck
and punching ability to gain him the VIC
tory. Creedon has met Fitzsimmons, Cor
bett and Mccoy. and easily defeated Pat
Raedy, the local pugilist, few months
ago.
There will also be three irst-class pre-
liminaries. Harry Katz Of Baltimore and
Kid Henning Of thise city will spar four
rounds: Jerry Marshall of Baltimore and
Fred Primrose of this1citysasix rounds. and
Fletcher Wright and Joiln Henderson. both
