PROVIDENCE Z. WORCESTER 8.

A traversty on baseball was that which
was served up for the delectation of a
large number OF faithful rooters by the
Providence and Worcester teams at
Crescent Park yesterday afternoon and
two-thirds OF the spectators were accord
ingly disgusted with the exhibition. The
Observation-Disclosures cranks. of which
there were a goodly number In attend
ancc. were well pleased with the fiasco.
~ the home team won. and anything that
has suspicion OF being bah game Is
appreciated by them II the visitors are de-
fcated.
The inheid, which is composed mainly OF
sand, seems TO resist the almost herculean
efforts of Groundkeeper Donahue and the
ragged condition yesterday was respon-
sible for most of the errors. Worcester's
hits and Providence's errors doubled up
10 such an extent that the "Marveis'
should have captured the contest, but
three very yellow errors i'm the eighth
coupled with a like number of slashing
singles presented the game TO Providence.
Brown was on the slab for the locals
and he performed his labors IN manner
Indicative OF a National league future
Ills curves seemed TO be enveloped in
fog and the up-country contingent had
10 proceed with the utmost vigilance In
order to even get glimpse Of the elusive
sphere They could not touch the "ap-
preutice until five rounds had elapsed
aud then Shannon reached first on a
doubtful hit. Two more were corralled
in the seventh and the fourth and last
IN the ninth
Acting Captain Rickert towed out klob-
~edanz 60 an anchorage in the centre of
the diamond. from where the blonde
haired twirler dispensed an assortment
OF benders that were vigorously assaulted
in spots. while I'm others they were de-
cidcdly mysterious.
Joe Rickert started the ball rolling in
the first reaching the initial bag on Con-
nor's error Joe has been appointed cap
tain during Sharrotts enforced absence
and asa result the constant throwing out
OF his chest has compelled him to have
elastic button holes sewn i'm his uniform
in order TO diminish the wear and tear
on the buttons. He reached second on
Inglaub's grounder TO Sullivan and third
on the latter's poor throw TO first. Smoot
then sent Rickert home and Gnglaub To
second on n sacrifice and the latter scored
on Wagners excusable error. They did
not score again until the sixth, when one
more tally was gained on Walters mum
of Shoots hard fly and two put outs
Three were added In the seventh on two
hits, steal. base on balls, a sacrifice
and two errors, which ended Worcesters
scoring for the day.
Providence made one I'm the first on two
hits and base on balls, one i'm the fourth
on base on balls and two hits another
i'm the next on "A two-bsgger. a single and
pass, while in the eighth four were
made and the game won. McCauley reach
ed hrst on Shannon's tumble. second on
Browns put out, third on Klobedanzs
error of Walters easy hit, and scored
when Morrison dropped Flournoy's fly.
Walters and Flournoy also scored when
Cassidy hit a scorching drive TO left for
two sacks, while the latter came across
on Stafrord's pretty hit 20 the same place.
Stafford was caught I'm an 'attempt to
steal, but Worcester could not do any
thing I'm their half and the game was
won. The score:
