Springfield Takes Holyoke's Scalp Right on Their Own Camp Cround-Results of Other Games.

Holyoke, Aug 23.-Joe Connor was Che first Pony to try Voorhees, yester- day. Joe's bounder got away from McAndfews and went crashing into the outfeld. Altizer sacrificed, Schincel fielding his bunt to Slater, while Connor reached second. Tan sey and FIanagan were fielded out at first on raps to Batch that were finely received The Champs first turn was brief Dowd flied out to Crook. Fitz struck out and Altizer threw out Batch at first.
 The Ponies bunting game made tur moil in the local infleld in the second. O'Connor's grounder was booted away by McAndrews. Crook ham, mered safely to center Heffner was willing enough to sacrifice, but his bunt along the third base line was turned into safe hit by the failure of Batch or Voorhees, to race for it. In his anxiety to have third base COW cred for a throw, Batch appeared to be slow in making q start toward the sphere. With the bases full and none out a called third strike dis. posed of Hale. Luby whacked through Batch safely and O'Connor scored. Connor's foul fly was caught by Batch and there were two out when Altizer jabbed one to the ground and 1t bounded into Voorhees, hands. The leather got away and before it could be recovered Crook had scored. Tan sey hit to Batch and was out at first.
 Tn the third the Champs made their evening-up. Arthur hit to the pitch CT and was thrown out at first. Voor- hees hit to Crook for an out. Dowd i bumped for one base to left center. Fitzpatrick biffed to right field and Hale made a throw to second in an attempt to hold Dowd there, but the ball went wide and got into left field, rolling past the foul line and toward the bIeachers. Dowd scored and Fitz reached second. Batchs hard stab to left scored Fitz. Heine tried to continue to second when Flanagan threw to the plate, but O'Connor's quick shoot to Heffner caught Batch cleverly.
 When two Ponies were tied up in the fifth, Tansey and Flanagan tore foff singles, TaHsey getting to third. ] O'Connor's hylet was dropped by Voorhees, and Tansey tallied. Crook hit to the pitcher and was held up at first
 Tansey's fielding in the eighth and and ninth kept the Champs subdued The score: "

York American league, is the prince of all first seekers of to-day Comiskey was first baseman of the first magni- tude in his day and knows good one when he sees him. As fielder, full of ginger and always fighting, Ganzel prob ably has no equal, he thinks. High and low throws are alike to him and whether the ball is hit to either the right or the left or straight at him makes no differ ence. Many ball ticketed for a safe hit is knocked down by him as it is speeding over the bag close to the foul line and the runner is retired. Frank Isbell, Comiskey's substitute first base- man, is another great fielder, much on the same order as Ganzel He is pro- duct of Comiskey's, who retired him from the pitchers box to teach him the intricacies of the job about first But Isbell cannot hit the ball and for that reason Comiskey picked up t'Jigs" Dono- hue. Donohue is not regarded as in Is- bells or Cancels class as fielder, espe- cially on ground balls, either thrown or hit, but he can hit the ball timely and hard. George Lachance, of the Cham pion Boston team, has one qualification that entities him to be classed as first baseman and that is his hitting. As fielder he is not up to the class of Gan- gel or Isbell and as base runner he is joke" All the others of the Amer fcan league are one-sided players, trou- bled with either lack of base hits or in- ability to field well. Tn the National league the brightest star is thought by many critics to be Fred Penney, of the Boston club. Kitty" Bransfeld, of the Pirates is a good one, too, especially as he can hit the ball some, but for general all-round work Tenny is regarded by experts and ball players alike as the best in that organization Tenny's one weakness is low ball, especially low throw. Anything above his knees he eats up with avidity, but lower than that the result is problematicaI. Chance, of the Cubs, has developed wonderfully and is especially valuable on account of his great hitting ability His effectiveness is somewhat nullified on account of his numerous injuries, his aff1iction of rheumatism and lack of perfection in
 Fielding Sitting the 16 first basemen of the two leagues down apparently brings the question of decision between Ganzel and Isbell as fielders of the American league, and Tenny and Bransfeld, of tho National, with odds in favor of the New York American leaguer.
