The Mound Citys of St. Louis are esteemed formidable competit- ors by their rivals in this event on ac- count of their great work last year, when they finished second to the Sea- wankakas of New York. In the senior sculls Titus, Shepheard and Williamson are sure to come to- gether. be held until Saturday. The Ariels of Baltimore has a crew which it is believed will make a strong bid for the race for the —— eights. Edward Kerns Sr., father of the Cap- tain of the first Georgetown University crew, veteran coach and boat builder, is in charge of the Wachusetts Bort Club of Worcester, and is handling the club's eight. He predicts that the loca! boys will win the junior eights. John J. Schaab of St. Louis is here and is looking out for the interests of the Mound City boys. — | BASERALL BABBLE Karger made the first run for the Car- @inals by hitting the ball over the left fence for ene of the longest drives if tne season in Boston.

MARGER WIN HS OWN GAME - og Cardinal Twirler Brought Vic- tory to His Ensign by Bat- ting Ball Over Fence. Specia! to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, Aug. 10.—The Cardinals and the Beaneaters will combat with one another again today and there promises to be another hot struggle between the two clubs. The Cardinals won yesterday's game, 2 to 1, after it had gone into a 10-inning session. Soden and Conant, the owners of the Boston team, attribute the loss of the contest to the absence of Fred Tenney, who is out of the game on account of a dispute with Umpire Klem and conse- a oo trouble wit esident Harry ulliam As Brown, the youngster who played first base, slamm out a nice single and acepted 15 chances with but one miscue, the absence of Tenney was not noticeable to anyone outside of the Boston duo, Karger, the Pittsburg recruit of Man- ager McCloskey, was easily the hero of the game and it was due to his hitting and boxwork that the Cardinals an- nexed the game. He held the Beaneaters down to six hits and started the run-getting for the St. Louisans in the eighth by driving out a soarer for a circuit of the bases after two were out. Boston tied the score in their half on Strobel’s walk, Dorner’s sacrifice, Bridwell’s out and Mr. Brown's sin- ©The Cardinals tallied the winning run in the tenth on tes’ muff of Mar- shall's fiy, Crawford's sacrifice and Karger’s slap at Brain, which the lat- ter fumbled and threw poorly to Brown, allowing Marshall to. score.

The new lineup is as follows: New- man ec, Fitzporter and Salisbury p, Frost lb, Miller 2b, Mason ss. Lume- lius 2b, Fitzgibbons lf, Higgins cf, and Smith rf. In reference to the charges of pro- fessionalism brought against the team, and the allegation that the for- mer M. A.

We do not actually get a cent of money for our Services,” The investigation of the A. A. U. into the standing of the M.

A. A. U. track and field championships was due ‘to the “cold feet’ of Martin Delaney, trainer of the club. more‘than any other reason that accounted for his antago- nistic attitude toward the meet ever since the project, has been before the K. A. C. club officials to’ send a team to St. Louts. Particularly is this the opinion preva- lent among M. A. C. boys, who say it does noterequire a long memory to dite back to the Triple A games, where De- laney appeared on the field with the pick of the Kansas City athletes and suffered the ignominy of having his crack team badly worsted by the Cher- ry Diamond boys. The action taken by the Kansas City down will not prevent individual mem- bers of the club from participating in the championships, and it is almost oer- tain that Douglas, Flynn, Talbott, Moul- ton, Gallager and Cotton will be among the entrants when the track and field ae eanton are tnaugurated Labor Yay, BASEBALL EPITOME.

Marshall said that the negro peo- ple of St. Louis proposed giving a monster athletic meet at Handlan’s Park on Labor Day. and that the managers of the affair, being con- nected with the Y. M. C.

NPW YORK, Aug. 10.—Hank O'Day will resume today as a National League umpire, according to an announcement made yesterday by President Pulliam. . O'Day was recently fined $50 for fall- ing to prevent the fight on the bail field in Pittsburg between McGinnity and Peitz of the Pittsburg club. O'Day refused to pay the fine and was sus- pended for insubordination. The Unions defeated the Home Comforts in a well-niaved cam> br tne score of 3 to 2. The following communication deals with one of the prettiest, delightful, and of course, trying and most. difficult plays in baseball. It is well worth care- ful reading and attention. Aug. 8, 1996. To the Sport Editor of the Post-Dis- ratch. Dear Sir: Refernng to that much dis- cussed game between tne Highlanders and the Ravens Monday, there was one palpable sin of omission in that fatal ninth inning, which turned probable vic- tory into the rout it finally roeulted in, which seems to have escaped the notice of the baseball writers. Eiberfield opened with a hit. Chase followed with a single through Niles. First and second being occupied, Niles played Conroy to bunt and came in. In- stead of the ball going to third it went directly to‘Jacobson. All runners were then forced. Niles should have hustled back to third and covered the bag to re- ceive Jacobson's assist. Jacobson came in fast for the ball and fielded it in such a manner so as to be in position to throw to third. Had Niles been where he was not, the chances are El- berfield would have been forced. In- stead Niles stood like a post 10 feet from the bag and was an interested specta- tor of what was going on and forced Jacobson to throw to second while out of position for that throw and the ball consequently went wild. Granting that there was no chance to catch Elber&eld at third, it was bad baseball for Niles not to attempt to cov- er the bag and show that he was at least playing the game. Again, is it good baseball, with one run needed to tile, first and second ococu- pied, to move out and attempt to get the runner going from first to second. and permit the runner occupying second to go to third unmolested? Sup the runner was caught at second. That would make but one out. With third oc- cupied the chances are all in favor of the score a tied. Hence there was everything to lose and nothing to gain in that play. From Jacobson’s manner of flelding the ball I at least give him the credit of at first havi in mind the proper play to make. Not being as- sisted to execute it and the subsequent bad throw rattled him and the game was lost. All this goes to show that McAleer must teach all of his men to use their wits. When stacked up against a good ball team and when the gruelling period arrives during the game it is the Ravens who suffer through lack of inside oase- ball. It is the grit—work such as shown by Hemphill in playing for EX\berfield’s hit in Monday’s game, the inffeld plays of Wallace and the outfield piays of Stone—that show the ca/iber of the play- er. Mechanical errors are excusable, but dumb plays are not. P. J. EVANS; 2917 Sullivan av. Third base has always been dominat- ed the “difficult corner.”’ And the dif- ficult corner has no more difficult play than that set forth by Mr. Evans. Unquestionably the proper play here is the double at second ang first or the force at third. Merely playing the run- ner at first is a shabby way of meeting such a splendid situation. The first time I ever saw the bunt plaved as a force to third was by the Brooklyn club in 1899 With Joe Suinn on second base and Criger on first, Cy Young bunted to the pitcher, who was Jack Dunn. To my surprise, Quinn was thrown out 20 feet at third. oe Kelly, who was covering the base, made no attempt to get into the play, other than to stand on third and take the ball. [ could not understang why Quinn did not get to third in time to beat the ball to third. An inning or so later the exact play was repeated. I then dis- covered the reason of Quinn’s tardiness. Dahlen rau him back to second base as the pitcher delivered the ball. He had the entire 90 feet to run, and was an easy victim. I spoke to Hanlon about the beauty of the play. He gave Dunn credit for its conception and execution. To that time I had never seen it tried. On its invention I have always consid- ered Dunn a great baseball player. Next day Heidrick broke it up by hitting through short as Dahlen ran to cover the bag and run a man back there. The play is a beauty all around.
