and Suspended.

Patience is 2 virtue, and 1000 or
more fans who sat through two hours
and forty minutes OF baseball at Wash
ington Park yesterday afternoon were
patient, at least.
The occasion Of their being present
while the biting winds OF tempera-
mental April swept the field was the
second meeting Of the Brooklyn Tip
Tops and the Bufeds. Being pos
sesSed of greater powers of endurance.
the cohorts Of Ward triumphed and by
a score of 10 5.
Lee Magee. the popular "boy man
agcr,' watched his pets perform from
the shelter of box. He has been sus-
pended for two days and fined $50 for
his display Of temper in the affair on
Saturday.
Larry SchaAy is not man to take
advantage of the mistakes of a rival
manager, but there is a limit TO even
his lberality. He has protested the
game on Saturday because Grover
Cleveland Land was sent back TO catch
after Magee had put pinch runner in
for him. This Macchiavelian stroke Of
the little Napoleon of the Gilmore cir
cult may cause him some slight embar-
lNNNllltIt. I nun Allt ilOSb ltNNAAL A4t'
Of baseball one cannot take man out
Of the game and send him back at will.
The biting winds played merry
pranks with the arms of the several
pitchers who passed on parade The
Buffalo contingent flashed four OF them,
while the home team called upon Ed
LATTE and Bill Cpham, who won the
title Of "Iron Man. while with the
Rochester Bronchos last year. Incl
dentally, Bill won twenty-one games.
Upham was the best of the lot, but he
decorated the mound for little more
than one inning.
The lack of control Of the pitchers
was directly responsible for the I'M
usual length of time consumed in play
ing eight and one-half innings. Ed
Lahtte, for instance, issued eleven
bases on balls alone. His generosity
might have burst all bounds, but in
the eighth inning Magee derrIcked him
and sent Cpham IN TO take his place. .
Knapp. the first pitcher for the Buff
feds, had nothing on the ball but the
cover. and Emke, the sensation of the /
Pacific Coast League last year. was no .
improvement SO Hugh Bedient tried .
mis- hand. lie was fair. but was der /
rickcd 70 make way for boy named /
Woodman.
Twenty-three passes we're issued by !
the half dozen pitchers. 1t was the eX-
ception when the moundmen were not |
neck deep i'm the three and one hole,
and just few Of the TALES were
forced over.
George Anderson. left fielder Of the
Tip Tops, played slashing game for
his team, and was quite the individual
hero of the game from a defensive
point Of view. He made a couple of
running catches that left nothing to be
desired. Westerzil played a clever
game at the far turn, handling seven
chances rs they should be handled,
while Louden took care OF like num-
Der. Mcdonald earned the applause of
the crowd and the malediction of An
derson by racing all over creation to
haul down a drive that was tlcketed
for the fence and extra bases.
Ed Lahtte may have been a bit OF
his pitching stride. but he is prepared
to argue for an indefinite period on
whether or not his mission in the game
was fulfilled when he smashed out a
double in the second inning with the
bases filled, drove over three runs and
started his team on the high road 10
victory a moment later by scoring the .
run which broke the tie. There was
no 1uke or failure about Laiitte's drive.
He came up IN the second inning with
two out and the bases filled, and to .
make the situation the more tense the .
count was three and two on him. As |
Knapp wound up. Evans, Cooper and !,
Land started running The ball cut !
the heart Of the plate, and LATTE
caught 1t full on the trademark, driv- .
ing it to the right field wall for a dou-
bic.
The stroke Of LATTE came right at .
the moment TO set himself right in the .
hearts of the fans. He had a bit of .
trouble at the start of the game, and
three runs were rung IN on him. A 4
base on 'alls. two errors and a couple I
Of good hits pushed three runs over
the pan and started the anvil chorus. .
I'd then settled TO his stride, and il
was not until the seventh frame that
a breach was hcwn in his lines and a
run 70 ced through. When he started
TO blow in the eighth inning he was
excused and Upham finished, allowing
one run.
The score follows:
