St Peters BANKED.

Cheered on by one Of the largest crowds
that ever assembled to witness q ball game
at McDevitt's. John Daley's Immaculate
Conception nine whitewashed the st. Pc
ter's in hard-fought. one-sided contest. In
which Mess and Riston Of the winners
starred.
The winning outfit went into the game to
win. as they needed the contest to cover up
the gap that lies between them and the
leaders, and they fought every inch of the
way. Tomorrow Immaculate will clash with
ST. Patrick for first place, and the team
that wins will. in all probability, never De
headed this season.
Both teams started off we'll and played
brilliant game until the fifth round. when
the winners started trouble with three tax
lies, and the Langley combination lost their
nerve, Zirkle. who has done good Work at
times for the losers throughout the season,
was easy picking yesterday for the Stn
street club and his curves were f1attened all
over the lot. His support, to make mat
tiers worse. was about the most ragged
that the losers have put up for several
games, and the few errors recorded were
costly in the extreme. Mess was the hero OF
the day. He connected with the ball for two
doubles and two singles out of five times at
bat, while Nau COPIED out three and Fan
neli and Madden two apiece. In fact, 1t
can be said that Mess won the game for the
Daleyites. Although the battery work OF
Riston and Camalier was perfect, no one
stealing on the last named. and Riston al
lowing but one to walk and but four to hit
safely, Mess batting brought in at least
FIVE of the eight runs. If his batting was
all that was commendable about his per-
Torrance yesterday. he could claim to have
done his part. but. besides being a terror
with the bat in last evenings clash. he stole
five bases. made four putouts and got an
assist.
For the losing outfit the batting of Mad
den as before mentioned, and the fielding
of Loeffier were the only features. The OFF,

UMPIRE O'LOUGHLIN
TALKS ON DECISIONS

silk" O'Loughlin Of the American I ea e,,e
umpiring staff does not agree with several
of the decisions handed down this season.
and he has good arguments that support
his position in the matter. The two decisions
he takes exceptions to are the ones at Pitts
burg regarding the declaring of base run
ner hit by batted ball while on the base
safe; and the one declaring that a substt-
tute batter has right to allow the regular
one to go up after the announcement of the
change had been made. Says O'Loughlin
concerning the decisions:
IF base runner is allowed to interfere
with the ball while on the bags there is no
limit to what he can do. Instances arise
frequently where base runner can inter-
fere with a fielder while on the bases and
there Is nothing to hinder him from doing
1t II ii is legal to have the ball touch him.
his other point in regard to Mathew
son batting after a substitute had been an
nounced is one which should be settled or
1t will cause trouble some of these days.
You will remember another member of the
New York team went In 10 bat for Mathew
son. and 1t was so announced by the UNI
pire. The base-runner was put out before
ball had been delivered to the ba tier and
the latter retired in favor of Mathewson.
According to my view of the case. Mathew
son was out of the game when the an
nouncement was made and the other batter
went in. l hold the same Is true when
battery is announced by an umpire before
the game. The rule says that the batting
order as given to the umpire is not sub
ject to change, and. according to my way
OF thinking. the announcement of batteries
and changes in the lineup and batting or
der are but extensions of this rule. This
of course. does not bar club from sending
In other men. but II does mean that those
cd a re nh ~ he mo- g Att,
are sent in in their places after the an
nouncement has been made"

BASE BALL NOTES.

That was certainly bad start at Cieve-
land yesterday.
Too bad Hughes can't get started right
this season. He would be a great help
just now to the other candy" boys, Fal-
kenburg. Patten and Smith.
The Nationals left Cleveland last night
for Chicago. and have four hard games
ahead Of them as the White Sox are
known quantities on their own grounds.
Little Joe Stanley placed three hits to his
credit yesterday, which will help along his
batting percentage some. '.Hick'' Will
have trouble squeezing this kid out Of
the game.
Hope President Johnson will put or that
..touted' Detroit deal before the Nationals
get into that city, SO that we can get e

Darkness played a big part in the game
between the Atlantics and the National
Athletic Club yesterday afternoon when 1t
spread its gloom over the field at 18th and
D streets northeast In the ninth inning
with the score standing at to and the
game was called with neither team credited
with victory.
Three pitchers were used in yesterday
contest two by the Atlantics and one by
the tailenders, and all the artists were tuned
up to winning form Gordon stuck 1t out
alone for the latter aggregation and never
have the Nationals been better represented
in this department than yesterday. The
youngster had them guessing as to where
his clever shoots would break. He let them
down with six hits and these were nothing
more than singles. The two Handboe boys
served them over for the Atlantfcs, and be-
tween them the Nationals were able to
gather but five singles. AL Handfboe was
the most effective. he having retired four
men on strikes. The National boy sent six
men to the bench grumbling because they
were handed strikes when hit from their
healthy bats would have given them runs
ana probably the game.
With the exception of three wild throws
by c. Salb, who was behind the bat for
the Atlantcs, and which gave the Nationals
three runs, the playing was remarkably
fast. J. Salb In right for the Atlantics
was easily the shining star OF the game
when he pulled down scorching liner from
the bat of Wooden with one hand. Mack 8
playing around second for the Nationals
wes also very brilliant. The score:

Treasury Surprised Justice.

The fans were furnished one Of the big
gest surprises of the season when Treas
ury played rings around the Judges on the
south diamond, shutting them out In easy
fashion. Veteran Fulcher officiated In the
box for the Money Changers and he held
Justice safe all the way. allowing but five
scattered hits. On the other hand, Treas
ury touched McCathran up for eleven and
his. team mates did all in their power to
help Treasury along with errors Dutch
Newman. who is even better comedian
than he is ball player, made a star catch
of a Texas Lacquer to center that cut off
two runs and materially helped along the
shutout. Charlie Lord made a brilliant
catch of Texas Lacquer to left that has
never been equaled except by Wiley. who
performed an almost Identical stunt In the
game between Justice and Agriculture. Nc
Carthy also figured In the sensational field
ing with catch of foul fly that he had
to run all the way up behind the plate to
get. For the losers Doc Burbank played
good, all-around game. with the exception
Of his one error.
