DOWN NAVY YARD.
Commissioners as Ball Tossers Prove
the Real Thing.

A most enthusiastic gathering saw the
Commissioners baseball team down the
nine sturdy mechanics from the Navy
Yard yesterday at National Park. This
is the third defeat the Navy has sus-
tanned this season.
Up until yesterday they had been
sweeping things before them. The Com
missiorars, however, played the me-
chanics a gamc they will long remember.
During the latter part of the fifth in
Ling, when the Navy Yard men were
leading their opponents by score or
two, the rain began to fall in torrents,
and threatened to bring the game to 4
sudden end and cheat the large crowd
out OF seeing one of the most spirited
and exciting contests played by amateur
teams.
Good fortune was with the fans, and in
q few moments rainbow made Its ap-
Iearance In the eastern skies, and the
teams went at 1t again with reLewed
yigor.
From thi, on to the finish The Com
.nissicners had things ell their own way.
Robert Barr came cut of the tall tim
bers and informed Manager Hunt that
his business wing was never in better
"condish.'' He was allowed to go in and
twirl for the Commissioners.
Barr twirled the greatest game ever
witnessed in the league. On several oc-
casions his support was as ragged as a
street urchin and the Navy Yard scored
several runs, but this did not disturb
Sir Robert His pitching during the
last few innings, after his opponents had
tied the score, was. Of the trinle plate,
fourteen carat order.
The Commissioners had trouble in
getting together at first, and it was only
ut this period that the mechanics man

usually fast and snappy game Atchi E
sons work at short was also noteworthy,
as was Collifowcr's In left garden.
Buckingham twirled for the men from
the Navy, and did well. He was up
against the real article, however, when
he opposed Barr. and got little the
worst OF it. The game was more OF l

GOSSIP OF MEN WHO

Graw unfaithful. He deserted the ST.
Louis club a few years ago and caused
Frank Robson severe loss. and now
he has thrown down his friends at Bal
timore. Certain it is that the standing
of the Baltimore team in the American
League race this season is not a credit
to the managerial ability of McGraw.
He failed absolutely, though he had one
of the highest -salaried teams in the
league. He blames Ban Johnson for his
failure, but Johnson did nothing except
to prevent the Baltimore team from
resorting to rowdy tactics.
"Ball games cannot be won with the
mouth these days. 1t requires playing
and hard playing. to do 1t. but Nc
Graw did not indulge in much of this.

fare with the New York team. It is not
probable that the National League will
stand for any mere rowdyism than did
the American, and NcGraw has always
been known to get mixed Up with the
umrires on the slightest provocation.

suspo ondei, there will be lively times in
New York. for Andy Freedman will want
to get something cut OF his Investment.
and with McGraw on the bench his
chances will suffer materially
