O St. Louis 3 "Washington 2 Cincinnati 21 Boston 1G Jl FU No flies on Baldwin. It may be necessary to explain this state ment about the flies and Baldwin. The explanation willbe given with extreme pleasure. Baldwin? whose front name is Hark and who is a Pittsburger out and out, pitched for the J? local team yesterday against the Boston team and besides only allowing these Tery tremendous fellows to have four little meas ley hits he made a home run himself. Work of this Mud i " -would certainly mean JT that there could not jf m possibly be any flies 1 W on him. He was too busy. Then all shout, "Ban for Baldwin." That pitching is probably one of the most important features of a baseball game can easiiy be learned if one travels from the postofflce corner to the grounds with a few TTho Are the Pitchers? The great question always is:. Who are the pitchers And yesterday was no excep tion. In reply to this very vital question, it was stated on several occasions that Bald win would pitch for the horn? team. Now, In several instances the fact that Baldwin was going to pitch, prompted the remark that "we'll lose." ' Of course, there is always a certain amount of prej udlce among baseball patrons J us t as there is among any other class of people, church-goers not excepted. But whythere should be a misgiving about Baldwin Is a very singular circumstance. So far this year he has done extraordinary work in the box, and about the most hits made off his delivery has been six. lesterday that figure was not reached. These few words, in chess parlance, are merely made in passing, not to use the French. But those of you 1,700 people who paid to see yesterday's game, didn't Hark do up the representatives of the city of beans, culture and Browning (not Pete)? Why, it was owing to the greatest luck in the world that -the visitors scored even their one run. Bald win was just as tough to handle as it is to keep ones self warm without fire or heat when the thermometer is below zero. In a word the bulk of the credit of yesterday's victory must be given to Bald win, because his pitching so paralyzed the opposing forces that they were never in the argument. Brynan's Little Downfall. The people from the scene of the old time tea-riots put a young man named Brynan, into the box to pitch for them. Brynan is a very promising pitcher from the West; well built and terribly in earnest. His fujure may be a glorious one, but he fell among a pang of brigands to start with yesterday, lie was afraid of them and sent the first three batters to base on balls. Three hits were subsequently made and with two or three other things altogether six runs were made and then the young man disappeared as a public performer. (Jetzein, that is the old time "Pretzel" came smiling out instead of Brynan, but while Prctz did fairly well he was not an unsol vable riddle by any means. On both sides the fielding was very good, indeed. There was only one fielding error on each side and they were very pardonable. No player's work could fairly be particu larized because all did so well. The runs were made as follows: In thefirst Inning Miller, Beckley and Browning each got his base on balls. With the bases full, Carroll knocked out a long and difficult fly to left centro field. Brodle missed it, that is, he dropped it, but the muff was very excus able. As a result Miller and Beckley scored, and Browning and Carroll were on third and second respectively. Bierbauer then swiped out a single to middle, scoring Browning and Carroll. Hanlon then made a single, and Mack's single sent each man a base onward. Bad Lots of Fun. There was plenty of fun at this stage. Mr. Beilly' made his appearance, and, despite yesterday's affair, banged out a good single to left, scoring Bierbauer and Hanlon, and thus the six runs were made. In the third inning Bierbauer led off and touched Getzein up for a nice single. A base on balls, a sacrifice hit by Mack and a wild throw by Tucker scored Bierbauer. In the fifth inning a single by Hanlon and BelUy.s double earned another run. In the seventh Carroll's two-bagger and a- single by Bier bauer sent one more home, and In the eighth Baldwin led off and thumped the ball clean over Brodie's head for a home run. The only run of the visitors was scored on 3etzeln'sbase on balls, Lowe's single and the attempt of Lowe to steal second. The score: Hemming Gives Too Many of Them, and the Cleveland Win the Game. Cleveland, May as. The bases on balls given by Hemming were costly. They were followed by lilts on which Cleveland won the game. Young was too much for the Brooklyns when men were on bases, O'Brien's fine batting was the marked feature or the game. Cold and clear. Attendance, 1,200. Score: RACING EVENTS AT MANY. OTHER POINTS and it was his Intention to give more tune to the profession -this coming faff and winter. His last fight before that which cost him his own life was too one in which he gave Nick McGlone, of Natlck, such a terrible punishment as to cause the latter's death In shout two weeks. , Sporting Notes.

That was settled yesterday. The ne gotiations between him and the Brooklyns fell through, at, least they were never like materializing, h'ecause Harry's figures were too high. Tho Boston management think well of Staley, and virtually closed the bar- giin with him yesterday to Join their team, e gets a substantial increase on his salary nam bv the local club. His fifmres here warn $2,500, and it is understood that he is to re ceive $3,000 from Boston for the balance of the season. He will likely pitch against the local team to-morrow. . But if all reports are true there is another like difficulty between the local club and another pitcher. This time It is Galvin. He was not at practice last Friday or Saturday, and only a short time Monday. An official of the club stated yesterday that Old Sport is not doing the square thing; bat Jimmy's side of the case could not be heard yester day. At any rate, it was his turn to pitch yesterday and he was not on deck. There are various rumors as to the cause of his trouble, and the rumors intimate that his case is similar to that of Staley's. The directors of the club have determined to have tho team under control at all hazards, and it may be that more will he heard of Galvln's case. It will be a great pity If cir cumstances compel his release, and. it is to bo hoped that matters between him and the club will be fixed up to-day. In to-day's game King and Clarkson will bo the pitchers, and they ought to he a great source of attraction. Manager Hanlon last evening stated that evervthing was certainly all right between himself and Galvin. The manager said that Jimmy had worked so bard already that it was only fair to give him a little rest while the younger men were in good form. Han lon wants It plainly understood that there Is no trouble between the club and Galvin. Straight h,eats settled tho trotting events at Home wood, and the backerof the favor ites now wish they hadn't. Notwithstand ing the threatening weather and poor card offered, the attendance was larger than at any opening'day of a spring meeting held at the park for years. At first It looked as though the crowd would he exceedingly slim, but the last train carried several,hun dred people to the scene of sport. Had the sun been out in the morning, Instead of wait ing until the racing hour was past, there is no doubt but that a larger crowd would have been out to see tho horses. It was given out that Legal Test, a bay stallion representative of the Prospect IIU1 stock farm, was to be a winner, and ho. was almost an equal favorite with Jim Graham at the outset, but he never got closer to the lead than fourth place. In the first race five horses were entered, hut only three started. Noble A was said to have gone a mile in 229, hut he didn't seem able to hold his own well. After consider able holding hack, they were given a fair start, and Jimmy C Immediately took the lead. - Past the first quarter it was Jimmy C, Hinet and Noble A. Just before the half was reached, tho little mare gradually went by Jimmy u, ana for the last half mile It was a procession. In the other heats the brace be came a procession from the start. Minet took the lead from the first, and simply went around with the others following. The only good finish -was in the last heat of the 2:32 trof-in which Jim Graham and Johnny B did battle and the latter won by a head. In the opening heat Graham got a lend as far as the quarter; but at the bridge Johnny B Jogged around him and then went home without .a struggle, with Graham second. After that Johnny B took the lead from the start and held It to the finish. In the last heat, however, he bad a struggle. Apparently with ease he kept his place at the head of the procession until the stretch was reached, when the favorite made one supreme effort to redeem the confldenee of his friends. At the distance pole he was at his adversary's heels and gained from that on men Dy men, duc newas unaDie to Dear it out and Johnny B won amid the shouts of his admirers.

Burns dropped like a log and was unconscious for a long time. About midnight he braced up sufficiently to walk outside the build ing, but after walking a few steps, he fell upon the sidewalk and did not again recover "consciousness. He died at the hospital at 11:30. The surgeons said that the blow ruptured a blood vessel of the brain.
