Base Ball Notes.

The Brooklyns have ''come AGAIN like q
game horse.
Gene DeMontreville won yesterdays game
for the champs with his little bat.
Jimmy Casey is back in Brooklyn and
ready to go in the game when wanted, SO
that HanIon is well fortified for the rest of
the season.
The Pittsburg players were given quite a
roasting by the spectators when they lost
the two games to Cincinnati. All the Pi-
rates good playing was forgotten.
Ex-senator Danny McGann had his bat
ting eye with him yesterday, a triple and
three singles being his record
First Baseman Jake Beckley of Cincinnati
will proba bly, be out of the game for the
remainder of the season. as he sprained his
ankle yesterday in Pittsburg while sliding
into third base.
Bad weather. yesterday knocked out the
game at National Park between the East
ern Athletic and Capital City teams. The
game will be played Monday.
Frank Gatins, shortstop of the Hartford
team has been drafted by the Brooklyn
club. Gatins played short while with
Washington in 1888.
Wagner, for the first time in several sea-
sons, played three games in succession
without gettinSSa safety.
1t was all right for Brooklyn to lose three
straights to New York, but a crime for
Pittsburg TO be beaten by Cincinnati
"Three cheers for the Dutch says Beck
ley. Then he looked at Hartzell. Geier and
Steiny, all of whom worried the F.rates
Thursday.
The Pirates will meet the Reds today and
tomorrow al Cincinnati. Then they are
done with the hoodoos.
Some of the Pittsburg rooters are dis
posed to claim that the western clubs have
not played fair with Pittsburg because of
jealousy They say they have tried might
and main to down the Pirates. and yet they
slowed up against the Brooklyns.
There is not much disgrace in being de-
feated by good club, but to be deprived Of
the pennant by SO weak team the one
that represents Cincinnati this year is
enough to make a saint swear, said Col
onei PuiIiam.
lake Reckiey takes fendish delight in
helping to throw the hooks into the Pirates.
"Oid Eagle Eye" was once released by
Pittsburg as a has-been, and delights in
proving that the management of the smoky
city crew erred JIM letting him out JAKE
made an accurate throw Thursday and
smashed out a terrific triple.
The Pirates will not admit Il. but second
place has not been clinched yet and with
the Philies nearly ready to go home to
finish the season the fight for the minor
honor may be as close as the flag struggle.
The Phiilies are hard to beat at home when
they get their ''buzzer working.
There is one paragrapher in Pittsburg
who thinks that the Pittshurg club made
the mistake of its existence when 1t re-
leased Beckley The man asserts that the
big fellow was driven out to satisfy the re-
yengeful spirit OF few people. The para
grapher has been shooting sly shots into
the club, especially during the present Gin
nnati-Pittsburg series.
Manager Allen says: 1.-THE present series
shows the honesty of each individual player
on the Cincinnati team and explodes the
rumors that games would be thrown 70
Pittsburg by western teams in order that
Pittsburg could carry OFF the pennant.
While every man the Cincinnati team,
and In fact. all western teams. would like
to see the Pirates beat out the Brooklyn
team, the westerners are all playing the
game to win at all times, regardless of
where the pennant floats"
