STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
PROvIDENCE s; ROCHEsTER Z.

Al Buckenberger's Brochos, occupying
second place In the Eastern league race
under the appellation OF Rochester, were
again compelled to swallow the bitter
pill OF defeat at Crescent park yesterday
afternoon In the presence OF 5000 gloating
rooters.
The principal trouble with this aggre-
cation OF hre-eaters seemed TO be their
inability TO connect with Ed. Dunkle's
stock in trade at opportune moments and
this coupled with persistent desire on
the part OF several members of the Prov
idence team 10 drive the ball out OF the
lot in the second inning, was the funda-
mental cause of their downfall.
Rochester was unable to bunch her hits.
except in the fifth inning. and then, after
two runs had been scored the big fellow
quickly brought into action all the bend
ers' in his repertoire and the New York
ers aspirations were nipped I'm the bud.
Yesterday was anything but a baseball
day and the cold damp wind that blew
across the field materially affected the
game and was a source OF much discom-
fort to the spectators. Exciting situations
were few and far between and the army
of the faithful that sat on the stands
and shivered gave an apt illustration OF
how devoted to his cause base ball
crank can be.
Malarky was on the slab for the visit
and in the second inning his assort-
ment was given several rude bumps. but
after this period he proved an enigma
in the remaining six innings Pro ydenrc
got but two hits. In the second inning.

Cassidy started OFF with a drive To centre
and then as Stafford foul-fied 10 Dixon
and Henry popped up one Ia Smith things
looked rather dubious. But Malarky made
n wild pitch and the agile Pete romped to
second. Captain Connor then stopped
wide shoot with his head and two were
on. Both advanced a base on a short
passed ball and scored on Crishams
timely single TO right.
The speedy catcher went TO second on
the throw I'm and was sent across the
plate on Dunkle's fine drive to centre.
Walters followed with a hit I'm the same
place and the big pitcher rested on sec
ond. Wagner kept up the fusilade with a
scorcher to right, Dunkle scoring and
Walters going TO third, but both were
left on Flournoys weak grounder 10

Providence did not score again until the
fifth when one more tally was made on
Flournoy's base on balls. Cassldys sac

minutes and Rochester made desperate

Thousands crowded the sidewalks ten

All awaited the coming OF the mighty
pageantry with breathless interest and
when the welcome strains OF the band
