Base Ball Notes.
| Out of respect to their manager. Buck
Ewing. the Giants concluded to defeat Gin
| cinnati yesterday.
Wolverton is doing well at third for Phil
lies, and yesterday, in Chicago his timely
| single drove in the winning run.
| Every the ST. Louis team at
| tanned one or more hits yesterday, and
| Bobby Wallace secured three.
The Georgetown-Yae game scheduled for
| New Haven yesterday was postponed on
| account of rain.
| Virgil Garvin. the Chicago twirler, GER
| tainly had Delehanty on his list yesterday.
| Dell went 10 the bat five times and struck
| out just that many times.
Jimmy Casey, the ex-senator. has been
| farmed out by Brooklyn to the Detroit club.
| Casey was notified at Cincinnati Sunday
| night that he was to go to Detroit and left
| Monday morning to join the Wolverine
| club.
The Sacrifice killer" is the name of the
new play invented by Jack Dunn to nulify
| sacrifice hitting to advance runners on first
and second. The Brooklyns worked it in
| Cincinnati to perfection, the same as in ST.
| Louis.
Chance is catching magnificent ball for
Chicago. and has been with winner in five
Of the six games he has been behind the
| bat. He is throwing well and Is becoming
| more serviceable in steadying the pitcher
| Neither he nor Donohue has had passed
| ball in the seventeen games played this
| season. Both catchers complain they are
| bothered in aiming throws to second by
| the umpires blocking the view. Nearly all
the. players. after having been called out
| few times after good slides around
baseman. are sore on the single umpire
| system
! Ninety per cent of the youngsters when
| they make their first appearance in the
| league become timid just as soon as their
team strikes losing streak" remarked
Manager Hanlon recently. ut is that which
ails the youngsters Allen has. Instead of
| taking the chances they should and taking
| advantage of everything they become timid
\ and the result is that the team does not get
| as many runs as it should. 1t takes lit
| tie while for such players to get confidence
| they must make at least one trip around
| the circuit before they can be relied upon
SO long as the team is winning they deliver
the goods. but just as soon there is a
| slump and extra responsibility is thrown on
thelr shoulders they usually go all to pieces.
This is to be expected from young players
| Ii they have the ability it will show after
| a while
1t seems that Manager Allen has finally
| got his team placed as 1t should be. This
| applies to both the outfield and the bat
| ting order. Smith. Geer and Mcbride make
strong outfield. The arrangement of the
| batting order seems to work well, and I'M
less the unexpected happens, it is not at all
| probable that any other changes will be
! made for while at least
Geier's work in center was most satisfac-
| tory again yesterday. The little fellow
| covers a large field and is a sure fly
catcher. He has not yet had a chance to
show what sort of thrower he is There
| is question about his being a game
hard-working player and a hitter. 1t was
| his single which started the rally in the
fifth out Of which the Reds secured two
| runs. He is fast on the bases and uses
good judgment.
| 1t was Algie Mcbride who saved the day
in the ninth inning for Cincinnati Sunday.
But for bis two great catches the Brook
victory in that ninth inning. After Far
| rell hit for two bases. Kennedy sent a
high fly to short right field. for which
Ssteinfeldt Beckley and Mcbride were try
ing. For a while 1t seemed as if there
would be misunderstanding and the ball
would be allowed to fall safe. When the
ball was not more than twenty feet from
the ground Mcbride, by great burst Of
| speed. managed to get under it. and while
| on full run caught the ball. 1t a
great catch. A moment later Keller sent
| screeching liner to right field 1t was
over McBride's head and travelling faster
than express train for the bleachers.
Mac did not have time to turn around and
| run with the ball. He went backward, and,
| down Mcbride. in all the games he has
played in right field last season and this
spring. has yet to lose his first ball in the
SUM- He plays the field as well as any man
who ever played it.@Cincinnau Enquirer.
The time will come" said Manager Han
| lon, when the league will have to legis-
late against players VINO stand up at the
| Thomas of the Phillies is one of those
| batsmen He is as valuable to a team as a
400 per cent hitter, for he never steps to
| the plate that he does not worry pitcher
! by his persistent foullng. A rule may be
passed some day which will give the umpire
the right to call a man out when he has
made a certain number OF FOULS whether
accidental or otherwise. The number, of
course would have to be fixed 1t is the
fact that there arc so many men in the
| league who work this trick that delays the
games: Another fact which delays the
either the ht-and-run or steal sign when
there is man on first The catchers wait
and look toward first to see if they can
catch it. Sometimes they guess at it and
make the pitcher pitch out. If they don't
| guess right several balls are wasted. and
this helps to delay the game. All the
games have been played much too slow
| this spring for this reason"
A Coming Star in College Athletes.
There is new factor in the intercollegi-
ate championships. The sprinter from
Bowdoin. Cloudman by name. who won the
100 and 22O yards in the New England in
| tercollegiate is not unlikely to repeat the
feat in the championship. In a driving
rain. the track thoroughly water-soaked,
he covered the 100 yards in 10 Is seconds
and the 800 yards in % is seconds around
a turn. This Is easily equal to even time
| in both events. More than that. he has
| been caught in the 100 yards at 9h seconds.
OF course. the timing was doubtless incor-
| rect. but 1t is eloquent testimony to his
speed nevertheless.
