Base Ball Notes.

sASS A'<sAA NoaSS'
The Orioles were lucky.
Farrell has caught the crowd.
Foutzs drive was certainly heart
breaker.
The fielding of Quinn, Clingman and
Coughlin was good to look at.
Although Mercer is charged with four
bases on balls. only one figured in the run
getting.
Manager McGraw evidently wanted yes
terday's game very much. 1t was Howells
turn to go on the rubber. but McGinnity
once more took up the running.
One of the pleasantest features of the
local games has been the absence of pro-
longed Wranshng over umpre's decisions.
AS there was no sun out during the game
yesterday Jackson in center for the Orioles
acquitted himself all right. his two put
out being of the sensational order.
Case Patten may be opposed to Howell
this afternoon, and another good game
should be forthcoming.
Manager Manning has assigned private
boxes to each one of the local papers. and
the newspaper men appreciate the courtesy.
The large crowd which has been gather
ing on the hills outside the left field fence
will find their occupation gone after today.
Huge canvass curtains will be swung to
telegraph poles today, and hereafter those
who were wont to sit on "dead-head hll''
will have to pay If they want to see the
games
President Postal leaves for his home in
Detroit this evening. He is well pleased
with the new park and club and expects
plenty of entertainment when the Senators
meet the Detroits at his home. Postal and
great friends. and have been 'joshing"
each other for the past month over the
comparative ability Of the two teams.
Roger Bresnehan. who did the twirling
for Baltimore Tuesday, was behind the bat
yesterday and acquitted himself finely. His
throwing is of the very best, but high fouls
bothered him somewhat. Robinson and
Latimer are not in shape and Roger will
probably do the regular catching for some
time.
Tomorrow the Boston team makes it's
first appearance in Washington. and a big
crowd will doubtless turn out to welcome
Buck Freeman and Capt. Jimmy Col
Inns. Ex-senator Tommy Dowd is also
with the Bostonese and Is playing good
ball too.
Secretary BO Needham is confined to his
bed with a bad attack of malaria, and Man
ager Manning had busy day yesterday
looking after the details. 1t is expected
that Needham will be all right in couple
of days
Stallings men promise to give Ban John
son more trouble than ever this year. The
addition of Gleason to an array like Elber-
field, Dillon Casey and Holmes makes De-
troit's the hardest team in the league to
handle.
President Comiskey was boiling with
anger after Saturdays game and said he
was going to stop some of that Detroit
roWdy1Sm hereafter If there was any vir-
tue in the rules or any sand in Connolly.
The American League didn't get it's rep
utation that way said he, land We cant
afford to lost it that way, either."-Chi-
cago RecordHerald.
Patsy Donovan is getting good work out
of the Cardinals. With couple of star
twfrlers added to his present staff Mr.
Donovan's bunch would be very much in
it. The Outfield Is good, Padden has plug
nm a hnl in inf l1
seem to be working in harmony
Hugh Jennings is firmly of the opinion
that player who has signed a contract
other than the optional clause contract of
130O-should live up to his agreement and
if he attempts to evade it without having
first secured an honorable release. should
be forced to fulfill 1t by the adoption of
legal measures.
