Where They Play To-day.

In n match SO one-sidcd as to be farcl-
cal for the last few innings the Browns
shut out the White Stockings at Sports
mans Park yegterday by the score OF II
to 0.
From the secOrd timing. when three St
! Louis players crossed the plate. 10 the last
half OF the eighth. when five runs were
tailed. the home team had things its OWE
way. At one or two stages the Chicago
men seemed to nave a look-in. but their
hopes were quickly dissipated on each oc-
! casiOn.
Hard luck and carelessness on the part
| of Chicago served to make the score SO
overwhelming. On ut least two occasions
fast work by Chicago would have held
down the score. possibly 10 the extent OF
several runs. Or each occasion, however,
the visitors went to pieces.
Flaherty went off early in the game. II
the last few innings he was landed on
good and hard. The tally of hits made of
him was quite remarkable IN ITS way. But
poor support nj intervals helped to bring
about this state Of affairs.
HEIDRICK PLAYS GOOD.
Emmett Heidrick was the particular star
Of the game so far as the homo team was
concerned. Starting off with a sensational
latch in the first inning. he did good work
with the bat ard was applauded every
time he came TO the plate. In the first hye
innings he performed brilliantly.
Umpire OLaughlin seemed to hand down
unpopular verdicts at one or two stages.
Il was hard to see why this should be,
except that the RIOTERS present wanted TO
gee the visitors put on a more even basis
with their opponents.
In the seveath inning there was a close
decision. when NaSoon was called out at
second. He Lad advanced on Slatterys
trip TO first, due to Sudhoff's tumble Of q
fast grounder. Magoon played 4 trile OF
base and Friel ran Up quickly and received
the ball, touching MagoOn, apparently,
just as he put his foot on base.
OLaughlin called the man out, and was
probably in the best position to Judge.
The decision seemed unpopular with many
fans.
II was hard 20 Distinguish any particularly
creditable plays On the part OF the home
team. Aside from Heidrick's work. how
ever, SudhOff performed very well. The
little pitcher did great work, and, while
hrs opponents did not present a formidable
appearance at any stage. his SteadinesS
was deserving Of credit.
VISITORS co TO PIECES.
Although the score stood 4 to o at the
end Of the ff.h inning, the visitors had
played fairly well up to that time, and
Their case did not seem altogether hope
- W. runs III Ilt Closing hdIT OF this
period, however, seemed to shake them.
In this inning an easy grounder by Sud
nom seemed to cause CONSERVATION among
the Chicago infelders. About four Of
them dashed for the ball. the result being
that Willie reached first in safety. while
the White SOX stood around without
picking the sphere up. 1t was a typical
case OF After you. CASTOR"
The other hitch resulted when Rahoe
came home. Friel had knocked out an
easy groundeE. which Flaherty threw 10
Slattery. The latter caught II Just before
kahoe reached the home plate. but. evi-
IDENTITY believing that his foot was on base.
threw II TO first. 1t was too late to catch
Fr!el. however. and Kahoe was safe. Pro
tests followed the decision. and the visit
Crs seemed TO go to pieces.
From that time on there was no question
or the result. Five runs in the last half of
the eighth inning completed the scoring.
Joe SuRden was retired from the game
In the first part Of the sixth. IsbeIl made
a wild svipe at the ball. both bat and bail
seeming to CONNECT with Joe's knee.
He bent over for a few minutes. support
ed by some Of hts teammates. then was
withdrawn from the game and Kahoe sub
stituted. Joe recovered after a short So
jcurn in the clubhouse.
Owing to threatening weather early in
the afternoon. A small crowd was ont. The
attendance was more like tina OF the
average Monday than that Of Saturday.
