BOW THEY QUIT EVEN.
Hits Were Scarce, but Some of Them Were
Very Well Placed.
A ball team that wins a same and loses
one from the Brooklyn lot nowadays are
not doing very bad work. Ward's pennant
aspirants are playing great ball and no mis
take, and although our sluggers did not
down them twice yesterday they got one
game Irorn them. On due reflection that
will be considered quite a creditable per
formance. True, there was lots of
grumbling because the second game was not
won by the home talent, but when matters
are carefully investigated it will be seen
that Mr. Haddock was quite a stumbling
block between our heroes and their second
victory, at least the victory they wanted to
make their second. In both games the
pitching was the feature and it is some time
since hits were so scarce in two contests in
succession.
Lots of Vim and Ginger.
The double game plan brought out 2,300
people, and they saw some good ball
playing. There was vim and ginger in
both games, and if ever two teams wanted
to rcore two victories in one afternoon the
locals and the Brooklyns wanted that honor
yesterday.
The first game was the better of the two.
It was brimful of good plays and once
Louis Bierhauer showed up brilliantly.
"Ward was so anxious to win the contest
that he began early in the game to talk
to Umpire Gaffney about umpiring for
the home team. The umpire ordered the
Brooklyn manager out of the coacher's box
and told him if he said another word he
would have him leave the groirtids. This
had a wonderful effect on John M. Ward, as
he sat quietly down on the bench.
Both Terry and Stein pitched wonderfnl
ball, and it may be said that Dame Fortune
Emiled on the local iellows, as the game
was won by a very lucky home run crack by
Donovan. Burns was playing right field
and he had an injured leg.
Donovan's fortunate Home Ban.
With a man on base Patsy knocked the
ball to the right fence and Burns was so
crippled that he had to almost walk for the
ball. Donovan was interfered with at third
base by Tom Daly and the ball beat him to
the home plate, but Umpire Gaffney de
clared him tale because ot the interference.
But it the run had not counted the visitors
would still have been beaten, as there were
two runs without it.
At any rate to win a came with four hits
is something to be very thankful lor.
In the first inning Miller got his base on
balls and got to second on Donovan's sacri
fice. Smith got his base on balls and Miller
stole third and scored on Kelly's fly to
Burns. Smith was put out trying to steal
second.
The visitors tied the score in the fifth inn
ing. Alter two men were out Kinslow
thumped the ball to the right field fence for
three bags and scored on Stein's single to
left.
Tbe sixth inning came and the' game was
won. Miller started off for the home team
and made a single. Donovan went up with
the "racrifice bat," and after knocking up a
few fouls he was ordered to change his bat
and "bang her out." He got his eye on a
good one and sent out the drive above re
ferred to. There was no more scoring in
the game.
Those Unlucky Bases on Balls.
The second contest was lost by the home
players, and everybody seemed to attribute
the defeat to Baldwin s wildness. But de
spite the fact of his giving bases on balls
which resulted in runs he pitched a good l
game. Any man who keeps -the Brooklyn
team down to & e hits and even gives six
bases on balls is not doing very bad work.
Had our sluggers been hitting the ball at all
effectively there might have been good rea
son to kick and kick hard. But Haddock
pitched a remarkably fine game, and when
matters with him were at their most critical
stages he did his best work. This was irri
tating to the home rooters. But Mark was
& little too wild for the spectators and they
rebelled.
Also at one stage, the seventh inning,
Baldwin went to bat with three men on
bases and tu o out Mark struck out, and
this caused the feeling to rise against him
more than ever, ifot one of the lour runs
of the Brooklyns was earned and this makes
the defeat all tbe more unsatisfactory.
n hen the Bun Getting Started.
In the third inning the run getting
started. Baldwin gave Griffin and Ward
each a base on balls and this made every
body dissatisfied. Corcoran's sacrifice sent
the runners to second and third respectively.
Brouthers' sacrifice scored Grifiin and Daily
made a little hit to right which scored
Ward.
Then the eighth inning came round and
there was more discouraging features.
Ward started off, and for the third time got
his base on balls. He was forced out by
Corcoran and Bronthers made a single,
Corcoran going to third. Brouthers started
to steal second and Miller made a bad-
throw which enabled Corcoran to tally.
Daily forced Brouthers out and Tom Daly
made a three-bagger, scoring Daily.
The run of the home players was made by
Miller's base on balls, Donovan's single, a
single by Kelly and Beckley's fly to
O'Brien. The scores:

HABK BALDWIN RELEASED.
The Loc.il Plusher Will Get nis Walking
Tapers This Slornlntr.
There was so much dissatisfaction regard
ing the work of Mark L'aldwin in the box
during the second game yesterday that the
club officials last evening decided to release
him this morning. For some time past
Mark's work has not been satisfactory to
the club officials. He, has been a loser, and
his unfortunate work of giving so many
bases on balls has turned all the local
patrons of tbe game against him. Almost
every game he has pitched recently the
crowd has yelled its disapprobation of him
most unmercifully. Under those circum
stances the management came to the con
clusion that it would De better for the club
and better for Mark to loave the team.
An official of the clnb, speaking of the
matter last evening, said: "No doubt Bald
win is a good pitcher, but ho is a loser lor
us. His work has disgusted almost all of
our patrons, and wo could not keep him any
"longer. He has wanted to leave the club for
some time, mid that may have made him
careless. He may do better for some other
club than he has done for us. The lrequency
with which he gives bases on balls makes
him most unreliable and lost a game to-dav.
We have three good pitchers left in Eure't,
Terry and Esper.-'
After the game last evening Baldwin's
father and an official of the club had "It hot
and heavy" concerning Mark's pitching.
The Frnnk'in Won.
FBAiTKLnr, Aug. 24. Franklin to-day won
another close gamo from the Tideout club,

Stlvetts Has Disappeared.
Jack Stivetts has disappeared and the
Bostons do not know where he is. Some
thing happened'in a recent game that he did
not like, and he packed bis celluloid collar
and a pair of cuffs into a handbag and
skipped out. This is the second time this
year that tlia heavy-blttlnfr pitcher hn suf
fered from the tantrums. Ha did not go
South with the Bostons for spring practice.
Brooklvn has also had a similar experience
with Kennedy, the "Brickyard Phenom."
He had pitched and won one game for Cap
tain Ward, and ode day with the remark,
"Ob, I guess I'll quit playing ball," he
Jumped for Home.-Times-Star.

the St. Louis club, yesterday, and at once
left for that city. He will play in the game
against the Boston's to-day. Jimmie Wolfe,
the outfielder, has been leleased by Presi
dent Von Per Ahe. The release was made
at Wolfe's own lequest.
Three Men for Carroll.
CrsroiSNATi, Aug. 24. Special. Chris Von
der Ahe wired the Cincinnati clnb this
morning: "What player will you give for
Carroll?" and the reply went back; "Three
for one. Ruines, Harrington and Genlns."
If it comes to a pinch we might throw in
Kalamazoo Jennings," says Frank Bancroft.
The Diamond.
Now for the Phillies.
Umpire Gaffney did well in both games yes
terday. The coaching of Burns, of the Brooklyns, is a
nuisance.
Rain prevented the Chicago and New York game
yesterday.
Miller was "off" in his throwing to the second
yesterday.
Bierbauer Is at present playing better than any
second baseman in the conntry.
Fred Dunlap has disappeared from the dia
mond forever, and is dabbling In horseflesh as a
trader.
Danny Richardson has been appointed man
ager of the. Washington club and Arthur Irwin
steps down and out.
The new left-handed pitcher. Miller, signed by
Anson, started the season with the Peoria club, of
the llllnols-lowa League.
Yesterdat Burns told Umpire Gaffney the lat
ter was a robber, and Burns was retired from the
coacher's box to the bencn.
THE St. Louis Browns hare had fire captains
thus far this season. One of the rejected. Cub
Strieker, Is handling the reins at Baltimore.
Von der Aue fined Carroll 50 for muffing a ball
last Wednesday, and erden a like amount for an
error, which was his first one of the second season.
Clausen, of the Loui.vlllcs, is superstitious
enough to believe that the last club at the bat Is the
most lucky one. and therefore generally advises
Captain Pfeffer to take the last Innings.
THE local management has certainly done right
In releasing Baldwin, as it will be better for him
self and better for the club. Local feeling is
against him, although he Is a good pitcher.
The new St. Louis pitcher, Hawke, pitched for
the Pocomoke City club on August 12, 1831, In a 13
lnning game against the Virginia team, and he re
tired no less than 2t of his opponents on strikes.
Umwre Gaffnet declares a player is in the
game If his name is on the score when it is shown
the umpire. The decision was glren to some per
sons dl&satlsfled with the ruling la the Tarentnm
protest against the E. E. Gyms.

SOME INTERESTING TE0TTING EACE3
rRFECIAL TELEQBAHTO THE DISPATCH.l
New Orleans, Aug. 24. The Olympics
are anxious to help along the Hall-Fitz-simmons
contest, but do not think that
Hall will be willing to fight after his long
voyage across the Atlantic. Fitzsimmons
will not fight after September 11, when he
begins his theatrical engagement. But
even if no contest takes place between then
and now, this will certainly be one ot the
new matches the Olympics will make.
Dawson, who whipped iTed Hall, is com
ing to look after the winner of the Myer
McAullffe match. Sol Smith, Johnny Van
Heest and Bobby Burns will be here to look
after the bantams. Joe Goddard, Peter
Jackson, Jim Hall, Joe Choynski and a
number of others will ask for matches, and
the big purses will be in great demand as
long as the Olympics will offer them.
"We are willing to pav big money for the
best fight," said Captain Williams, "but
we want the best fight." The pool rooms
say tbe betting is very light so far. The
odds, however, will be about 5 to 3 on Sulli
van, 3 to 1 on Dixon and very nearly even
money on the Myer fight. There is nothing
new from the camp fighters. At Bay St.
Louis rumors of drinking and carousing at
Bobertson's continue to prevail In the city,
and continue to be done by the fighters.
Corbett expects to appear without a bruise
in refined comedy at the Grand Opera
House, this city, immediately after the
fight with Sullivan.
A bet of f 2,000 to 51,200 on Sullivan was
posted'at the pool room yesterday, but has
not yet been accepted. The special train
bringing Sullivan here will consist of eight
sleepers and a baggage car. It will leave
September 1. Sullivan and his trainers
will have a special car where he can train.
The sleepers will be for Sullivan's friends
who ore coming down here to see his last
appearance in the ring.
Jack McAuliffe and Skelly are doing
well at Bay St. Louis. Jimmy Carroll
wants it understood that he tips Sullivan to
deieat (JorDett.
i
Betting on the Battle.
Chicago, Aug. 24. Special. But little
money has been placed on Corbett in this
city. In tact lu no city in the country has
Corbett so few supporters asin Chicago. He
showed here several times and tho universal
verdict was that he was not stronsr enough
physically for the champion. There is
plenty of Sullivan mpney hero and those
who desire to place it are willing to give
odds, but cannot get on at any lair figures.
The report that a Chicago syndicate bad
tent $15,000 to Boston to back Corbett is ab
surd. The betting here is almost entiiely on
combinations. The three rights are grouped
and local backers are ploking Sullivan,
Dixon, and Myer to win. Odds of two to
one ate being offered and taken against
nicking three winners. Those are about tho
correct odd', as Sullivan and Dixon will be
at $100 to $40 at the ringside, and Myer and
McAuliffe will be at $100 to $90 on McAuliffe.
No one in Chicago will bet on Skelly against
Dixon. All the talent regard the colored
boy as the certain winner, and rightly so.
AT BBIQHI0N BEACH.
Mucilage, a 30 to 1 Mint, Makes a Very Sen
sational Victory.
Brighton Beach Race Track, Aug. 24.

Verbena, 2 to 1: Tradesman, 10 to 1; Maggie
Morrill colt, 20 to 1, and Bei wyn, 3 4o 1, all
neck and beads apart. Tradesman was all
but left'at the post.
Lord Dalmeny and Milt Yonng were
backed to win the fifth race to the exclusion
of the other four starters. Count, 5 to 1,
covered the seven furlongs in l:2SJf,and beat
Lord Dalmeny half a length, Milt Young
being three parts of a length awav, all

HOW, MB. VAH HEEST.
Paddy MeBrlde Puts Up a Forfeit to Fight
the Westerner.
There is now a chance offered to any 120
pound pngilfst in the country, as tho follow
ing business-like challengo shows. The
challenge was lelt at this office last evening
by John Qulnn and accompanied by a forfeit
of $230.
"As any number of pugilists who say
they can flght at 120 pounds are talking
aboutwantlng to fight for tbe feather-weight
championship, a chance Is now offered any
of them. Paddy McBridu will flght Van
Heest, George biddons, Ed Pearce or any
body else, at tbe weight named, to a finish
for a bet of $1,000 and tho largest purse of
fered by any club. I now put up a lorfeit of
$250 and If an; body accepts the ohallenge
they can either cover the money at The
Disfatch office or put up $250 at any other
offloe and my forfeit will be lorwarded on.
This is no bluff, asMcBiide is quite willing
to act up to this challenge."
The above is directly aimed nt Van Hoost,
as he has been talking eo largely about
fighting Dixon. Tho latter states he will
take a long rest after fighting Skelly, and
that will give Heest, Siddons or any of the
others ample opportunity to meet McBrldo.
If Van Heest docs not respond to the chal
lenge be will certainly have no llcensu to
keep talking about fighting Dixon.

A TALE WITH KABVIN.
Ho Gives His Views bout the Blcyole
Sulky and Sonol.
Hartford, Aug. 23. Special A reporter
had a chat with the great driver, Charles
Marvin, on Monday.
He was asked what he thought of Sunol's
chances against the new record with the
bicycle sulky. The great reinsman Bald:
"Well, I am not very confident, but we
will have a good try later in the season.
You know Sunol fs always at her best In tbe
fall."
"How much will the pneumatic tire help
her"
"Nearly one anda half seconds, I believe,"
was Marvin's quiet answer.
"Mr. Bonnet saw the rubber wheel for the
first time at Meadville, did lie not?"
"Yes, and he was immensely pleased with
what he saw it do. He told mo that he
thought it would not answer when first he
heatd about it, but then he had not seen
one. Now he is figuring what Maud S could
have done hitched to one."
"Shall you trot Arion at your meeting
next month at Meadville?"
"Arion Is being shaped np now, and I
think he will surprise some of the folks be
fore snow flies."
"Have vou heard anv authentic news
about Allerton's mishap?" was asked.
"Yes; it is not the weak ankle which has
given way again, as reported, but merely a
strain of the musclos of the hip, and I am
told the colt will come oat better than
ever."

CHAMPIONS AT TENNIS.
Knnpp Defeated by a Mere Eoy After a
Five-Hoar Contest The Halls Lose the
Doubles to Campbell and Huntington
Other Interesting Matches.
Newport, H. L, Aug. 24. The weather con
ditions this morning for the second day'of
tho National Lawn Tennis Tournament were
as favorable as yesterday, and the attend
ance was large. The principal match of the
morning was that for the championship in
doubles between .the Hall brothers. Valen
tine G. and E. L., and Campbell and Hunt
ington, last year's champions. The latter
pair were called upon to defend the title
against the Halls, winners of the Eastern
tournament, who won by default from Car
ver and Ryerson, the Western pair. Natur
ally tbo championship match attracted tho
irreatest Interest and dlveited attention
from several matches which would other
wise have drawn goodly numbers of specta
tors. The Slocns-Lnrned mntch in singles was
the first to begin, blocuni w as placed on tho
defensive, as the ex-champion was In ex
ceedingly poor form. Larned, on the other
hand, was putting un strong even tennis,
marred only by recklessness now and then.
Tho resnlt or the match indicates that
Slocum can no longer be included in the
championship class.
Champions Carry Off the Doubles.
In 'the doubles the match oponcd with a
decidedly Hall aspect, as tha't pair quickly
took the first thioe games in succession.
Then they lost fourstraight. Tho champions
went in and pulled out the set. Tho second
set went along much the same way, the
Halls taking the two first games. This was
all they could do, however, and the cham
pion pair won six straight, carrying off the
set. Tho thtrd was different, the games
alternating from one side to the other with
n fair deciee of rejralanfcv flnniiTh nf tiipm
however, going to the credit of the Hnlls to
give them the set. In the fourth et the
Eastern pair as usual took the first game
and then lost lonr straight. It looked as if
the match were to end theie, but the Halls
rallied and took two more games. They
could not avoid the inevitable and flnallv
yielded the set, the match and the hopes of
winning tho championship.

A Most Extraordinary Mitch.
The Wrenn-Knapp match to-day was an
extraordinary one, and will go down in ten
nis annals as one of the most remarkable
ever played on any court. It was the most
stubborn and desperately fought contest of
the tournament, and will rank in this re
spect with any played in previous years. It
was one of the longest on record, beinnin"
before 11 o'clock and continuing till 4. it
'was a battle between young blood and vigor,
combinod with excellent tennis ability,
against pure nerve force nnd clear grit, in
which the former won. Knapp, the veteran
player, counted the best stayer la a long
mutch among all the craelu, met young
Wrenn, haidly more than a schoolboy, and
was not only outplayed but outlasted by
hltn.
In the fourth set, Knapp manifestly had
no strength left and was callimr simply upon
his nervous forces. After each game, atter
almost evory point, indeed, he see ned so
utterly exhausted that it looked hardly pos
sible that ho could continue to nlav. vet he
labored on and held his opponent down till
at 9-7 he could not prevent his Hiking the
sot. The last and deciding set was qnlekly
over, Knnpp's exhibition of plnck anil will
power in tho face of physical weakness, has
Srobablv never been equalled on the tennis
eld. Wrenn played beautiful tennis, strong,'
steady, skillful throughout and whs com
paratively fresh at the close of tho flvo
hours' battle.
Matches of Minor Importance.
The other matches of tho afternoon were
of little importance, Post winning from
Billings, Eddie Hall from Horton and Valen
tine Hall from Dana without difficulty.
This completes the second round at the
close of the two days' phiv, and the tourna
ment Is accordingly further advnrced than
ever beforo at this stugo. Should bad
weather notintciforo the finals should be
reached on Monday and the tonrnamentend
on Tuesday with the ch imDlonship contest.
Important matches to-morrow are those be
tween wrenn ana uudiong, liovey and Post,
Smith and Chase and Hobart and E. L. Hall.
The Inst Is the most important of all, and
.likely to have the most influence upon tbe
final outcome or tho series.
