Today's game was very loosely played on both sides, Brooklyn winning through better hitting and McJames' liberality with bases cn balls. Captain Joyce was hit In the face with a pitched ball in the second inning and was compelled to retire. A great ileal of "kicking" was indulged in by both sides over Kwefe's umpiring, and the wrangling was of such frequent occurrence that only six innings were played. Score: WASHINGTON. A.B. R. H. P.O.

It Prevented the Sornnton Game In That City Yesterday. Brockton,' Mass., April 22. Snow and severe cold weather prevented today's Scranton-Brockton game. The clubs will play tomorrow here. On Friday and Saturday McDermott will pit. his men against the Fall Rivers. All the Scranton players are well and only a few are sore or lame. The pitch ers are in fine shape. LOCAL BASE BALL Pitcher Cronln and Shortstop Sweeney are to be released. Cronln's great fault is his wildness. and Sweeney has neither the hitting nor fielding qualities for Kast eru league company. Manager McDermott is not yet able lo decide positively concerning Pitchers Herrand Stcmmell, but it Is Indicated that they will begin the regular season with the team. Neither Is a novice. Herr wtis with the Norfolks, of the Virginia league, last year and Stcninicll was with Cham liersliuig, of the Cumberland Valley league, , Concerning the shortstop vacancy Mc Dermott writes that he will have u good ntati for the position by Saturday, He Is now negotiating with three National leag uers, whose names cannot be announced nl this time. Itellly, the crack short field er of the Fall Rivers, could have been ob tained, but the Fall Klver owners wanted 1500 for his release, McDermott offered a much smaller sum und the deal fell through. Thre-I but llttli concerning the physical condition of the men. All are In tine fettle, excepting Ward and Bradley, who are suffering from soreness. Ward's case is trivial, but Bradley has a very bad arm which cannot lie expected to be in good shape until next we.-k. Maguire; the little third baseman who created such favorable comment last year with the Amsterdams, of the New Vork State lea sue, seems to be one of the most promising players on the team. He has in the practice Karnes shown quick ness and energy In field work and is hit ting well. His throwing Is strong and ac curate and he plays intelligently. BASE BALL NOTES. , Syracuse has farmed Blakely to Rich mond and Brlstow to Newark. Toronto lost Its first practice game Monday to Pittsburg. The score was 4-1. Tomorrow will be Harry Wright Day In the Knstern league and all the clubs that will be at home have arranged games for the benefit of the memorial to the vet eran. Says a Syracuse exchange: "The team Is weak behind the bat. Rafter has been sent home to Lansingbiirg to recuperate with orders to report at Star park In May. If he does not get into condition another catcher will be secured, as Hess cannot lie expected to catch all the games. First Baseman Carey Is at his home in this city, ami will remain here until the open ing of the championship season. He is In pi.or health, and .Manager Keilly, to put him In good trim when May comes, sent him to Syracuse to rest, rather than risk having him laid off after the season opens." Springfield Vnlon: "Tom Tower, who was sold to Scranton by Syracuse for 2i"J docs not want to go to the coul regions evi dently, as he has not yet signed a Bcra.i ton ion tract, and Is endeavoring to get his reloase from Syracuse. It looks as though Syracuse would either have to pay his sal ary or release him if he Is under contract to that club and refuses to be transferred to Scranton." Springfield's secretary is nil right, but he should have made the foregoing item complete by saying that Burns has encouruited Power to hold out against signing with Scranton. Burns wants Power badly, AMATEUR BALL NOT ICS. The Hickories of Jermyn want to ar range a game with the Oreen Itldge Sena tors.

In the event of each man winning one, they have decided to toss, winner having choice of event and place.

According to Jim Corbett a mun can be knocked out by a blow on the cheek bone or In the eye. According to Cor bett's theory, a series of hits on that prominent bone of the face brings about a gradual weakness, till the opponent loses his nerve, and is either knocked out or wants to quit, unless he Is dead game. He feels, so to say, a sort of paralysis of the face, which spreads to the hcaii. This Idea Is a new one. It Is not new, however, that as a dlsorganlzer of knlckles The cheek-bone protuberances play dose second fiddle to the elbows. Cornell's track team Is doing ehe'rgetlc work In preparation for the meet with Pennsylvania. George Connors,- of the Chicago Athletic Association, Is training the men, and rapidly bringing them into condition.

A youth who had In a performance of "Richard III." to recite the words: "My Lord, the Duke of Buckingham Is tak en," came in shaking with stage fright, and brought down the house In shout ing out: .. ' "My Lord, the Buck of Puckliigham Is taken!" An English clergyman who was given occasionally to such transposition, used one day In a sermon as an illustration the scene at Lucknow, when Jesse Brown cnlis out: "Dlnra ye hoar the pibroch and the slogan?" Hut ho pro nounced It: "Dlnna ye hear the ts'lobroch and, the plgan?" He did not know that he had made the blunder until a friend told him of it after the service; and then he wus so much humiliated that at the clone of the evening sermon ho took occasion to suy to the ciingrcgutlim: "I mn told that this morning I Fiild 'slulnwh find plgan. ' 1 men til to have said the 'bII broch and the pognn.'. Heceivd the blessing." ' Another minister cnttld never suy, "Sweet for bitter and hitler for sweet." and as the service railed for the utter ance of these words on occasion, his congregation had to steel thutnselvis to hear without a burst of laughter the phrase "8 witter for beet and beet for witter."
