BASE BALL.THE BIG LEAGUE.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE NOB FDLLY OHDER WAY.

The Season Started With Every Pros­ pect ol Success—Good Attendance and General Interest Everywhere— The Week's Record, Etc.

The second campaign of the big League started April 27, and is now under full head­ way.' The attendance, despite bad weather, has been exceedingly good everywhere, and the interest and the enthusiasm general and marked. All fears as to the popularityof the national game have thus been dispelled, and it now only remains for the clubs to conduct their business in decent, orderly fashion, and for the teams to put up the best ball possible at all times to hold the re-awakened public interest and insure steady patronage. The championship race, even at the start, has, of course, furnished the usual surprises and dis­ appointments, but it is yet too early to either make comparisons or base conclusions as to relative strength. In fact, to do so until the Beason is further advanced would be unjust to the competitors, misleading for the public, and, perhaps, unjurious to League interests. So, Ear the present, competitors should be leniently dealt with and encouraged instead of discouraged. Suffice it to say that nearly all the teams appear to have strengthened. Therefore, the pennant race should be better contested this season than was the case" last year. Below will be found the games of the week, and in the appended table is given the record of the race tor the first week of the campaign—from April 27 to May 3 inclusive:

The cere­ monies began with a parade from the Lindell Hotel, headed by Lieutenant-Oovernor O'Meara and Mayor Walbridge and Mayor Stevens, of East tit. Louis. A troop of Italian cavalry in gay uniforms acted as their body guard. Many of the local cranks turned out in carriages.

The game was not marked by any special feature in the field, but the batting of Wise and Kelley made up the deficiency. For four innings the contest was close enough to be interesting, but the home club, which bad been baffled by MoMahon's curves, sized UD hia delivery and batted quite bard. The fielding of the Washington was clean and effective, with the exception of an•rror by Sullivan, wnioh coat two runs. Balti­ more on the whole fielded well, but their errors proved disa-trous. The game was called at the end of tbe eighth inning ou account of darkness. The score:WASM1NC/N. AB.8.B. r. i.I'BALTIMORE, AH.R. B. p. A.I Badford. rf..5 1110 0 McQraw, so. 4 0 0 2 11

Pre­ vious to the game the two teams beaded by a brafs band paraded tbe principal streets and all along the route were enthusiastically greeted. A band concert followed at the park. A beautiful floral piece, representing a diamond, was pre­ sented to the Cleveland players by » delegation of enthusiastic admirers who came on from Cleveland toeee the frame. The background of the diamond was made of red and white roses, while on tbe face were two b lU crosswise and a ball, made of bright red carnations. Pittsburg scored two runs in the first on a single, a balk by ''Cy" Youne, two bases on bills and two sac­ rifice hits. After tbe first inning the home team could do nothing with Young's speedy de­ livery. Cleveland made four runs in the first on three hits, a base on balls and a couple of fumbles. After this Pittaburg was never in the game. Ewing's bitting and base-running and Child's home run were the features. The ecore:PITT6BIJRO. AB.K.O. P. A. B'CLEVKLAND. AB.B. B. P. A.

/27.—After a fortnight of miserable weather the sun showed its face at daybreak, and although the air was reminiscent of winter, a crowd of 7001) gave the rivals a welcome much warmer than the weather. The Reds put up one of the finest games ever Been at the ball park. Their fielding was very sensational. Latham, Holli- day and Smith each made phenomenal plays. The Chimtgos were ragged in their field work, and could do little with Mullane's pitching. Willie McOill, did not last long. One inning and a half sufficed for him, and he was so wild that Anson waved him benchward and called McGinnis, the Westerner whom Commie loved and lost, to the front. He seemed to be more familiar with the location of the plate than hia lilliputian predecessor, but there were some horrifying errors made behind him that worked up into runs. The score:

Games Played Friday, April 28.NEW YORK vs. BOSTON AT NKW YORK APRIL

28.—A crowd of 15,000 people, a warm, sunny day and a disheartening defeat for the home team, were the features of the opening game in the metropolis. A larger crowd never saw an opening game in New York City. Tbe result of the game was a severe disappointment to local cranks, but it was quite evident why the Bos­ tons won. They hit tbe pitching of both Crane nnd King, while tbe New Yorks were helpless before Nichols. In field work the New Yorks were quite as sharp as the Bostons. Singles by Long, Duffy and McCarthy gave Boston a run in the first, and in the sixth singles by McCar­ thy, Tucker and Lowe, Bennett's double and Nichols' home run yielded five earned tallies. Crane succeeded King in the seven'h. In the eighth, singles by Carroll, Duffy and Nash, Long's third strike on a wi d pitch gave three more runs. Burke was bit by a pitched ball in the fourth, stole second and came the remainder of the distance on sacrifices. Davis opened with a triple in the sixth and scored on Lyons' single. That was all the New Yorks could do in tbe way of getting rnns. The score:NEK YORK. AB.B.B. P. A.XI BOSTON. AB.B.I.

28. — Anson and hia Colts had sweet revenge on the Reds. Hutchinson pitched a masterly game for the visitors. The Ueds could do Httle or nothing with his delivery. If the pitcher was put back a few feet more the Reds would ask for shovels opf the afternoons they did business with Hutchinson. None of them missed the ball, but the pig skin showed a tendency to gyrate through the air by the corkscrew route. Home of these twisters gave Kittredge and Parrott a chance to execute some catches that were right smart. The score:CINCINN'I. AB.R. B. P. A. II CHICAQO. AB.TI.B. P.

JVASHI.MOTOK VS. Bil.TIMOHB AT WASHINGTON

APRIL 28.— Superior batting gave Washington

victory. The Baltimore! could do very little with Esper's curve!, while Wadsworth was batted hard, and Schmidt, who succeeded him in the eighth inning, was put in too late to af­ fect the score. Both teams fielded poorly. Radford in right field made some bad fumbles, and the errors on both sides were costly. Wise distinguished himself again, both by his field­ ing and butting.

CINCINNATI vs. CHICASO AT CINCINNATI APRIL 30.—This was the first Sunday championship game ever played by the Chicago Club, and it proved to be a victory. It rained nearly all day and the game was played between showers. Bumpus Jones, Cincinnati's phenomenal pitcher, was useless at the bat, got tangled up on bases and virtually laid five of Chicago's runs right in the old man's pocket. Four colts to whom he gave passports to first on ball* eoored, aad

Three Cincinnitians were left at third, one was killed at home, and several more were an­ chored at other points along the route. A bit at several stages would have changed results, but Young never wavered.

On the other hand, they swatted Mr. Esper'g south-paw curves till they were tired. Tom Burns for persistent kicking was fined $20 and put out of the game, Kinslow taking his place. Washington's only run was made in the second inning. Farrell hit for three base*, but was caught by Mulvcy's hit to Pkichardson. Joe got to second in the scrim­ mage, and scored the only run on Sullivan's grounder to right. The score:WASBINO'N. AB.B.B. ». A. I;BROOKLYN. AB.B..B. T.

FOREST CirV_FlN DINGS.CLKVELAND PANS VRUY HAS'PY

OVKR THE EARLY VICTORIES.

"Cy" Young and John Clarkson Roth iu Great Trim Ansou's AVni-m Wel­ come Two Good Reserve Pitchers Other News and Gossip.CLEVELAND, May 2.— Editor SPORTIKO

LIFK: — Just an even seven dozen Cleveland fans took the early train to Piitsburg last Thursday moraine. Tbe boys curried along a superb floral piece and gnvcit to the Cleve­ land players as they came out upon ilia grounds. Before tbe fiame was called [ asked old "Cy" Ycmnfc how he felt.

"Very badly," said "Cy" as he winked the other eye. "No speed, no curves aud no control."

I wish, Mr. Editor, that you could have lieen iu the press box in front of him that afternoon. 1 have seen "Cy" pitcli a hun­ dred games or more, hut I never saw him do finer work than in the opening game at Pitta- burg. His speed was remarkable and his control perfect. Of the six hits made off him ouly two went into tbe outfield.

CLAKKSON ALL RIGHT, TOO.The next day Gentleinim John walked into

the box, and when Bonovan cracked the first ball pitched for a single the Clcvelnnd uniire- giiion felt a bit shaky. John steadied down, however, and sent the bill over the rulilier with terrific speed. Umpire Lynch told me after that giime tiiat be uev;r saw John pitch a belter g'tme.

"He's a master of the art," said Mr. Lynch to me lust year. "He keens the ball close to the ci rncr of the plure and seems nble to put it within an inch of where he chooses at any time. An umpire unfamiliar with hiscun- niu£ would deoUro about u.i.l the batters out on strikes, so close to the plate does John keep the ball."

A HTO WRLCOMB WAITING.Capt: in \iiM.ii and his livo y m\ia will get a

warm welcome at League I'ark Thursday. When tbe Chicugos come to Cleveland you can always depend ou a ball game. 'With Ani-on on one corner of the diamond un<l Tebeuu on the other tbe fame mill certainly not be entirely do- void of life.

TWO GOOD PITCHERS.Cuppy and Williams have been taking daily

practice at League Park, and are both in very lair condition. Cuppy seems to have all his old-time speed and curve', and is really anxious for a dm nee to show what he can do. Tommy WillUms i» really a first-class man, hut with Younir, Clarkson, Davies, Cuppy anil Hastings ahead of him, get* little chance to le* himaelf out. The only game Tommy pitched last year was against Louisville, and Cleveland won tail contest easily.

RAIN, BAIN, KAIM.Rain prevented the gmuea a, rMttsburg Satur­

day, and the me scheduled for Cincinnati for Monday. Rain storms are costly things this year with the double-game-next day plan not in force. It has mined here until it seems as if the olouds must be pretty nearly empty and ao we are all hopine; for ir>>ml weather later on.

KWISd's EXCELLENT WORK. .Ewing was given a nice, bau I *nou he came

to bat in the first game at Pittsburz. McKoan was on first at the time, nnd Buck lammed the ball hard enough to 1 t E Idle go to third. He quickly stole second, and both h:id very soon reached home in safety. The next two times he came un Bunk also hit safely, and on both occasions stole from second to third with great ease,

CHILD'S INJURY is SLIGHT.Childs' injury seema to have been m ire of k

temporary thing than wa« at first feared. Child's place would be hard to fill. He coveri second excellently. Many thought his batting of second last year a matter of luck, but h« starts off at tbe old pace this year, getting a single, a home run and a base on balld out of four times at the bat in the first game pbvo I. Childs i» probably playing to-day in the game at Cincinnati.

CONFIDENT HARRY.Harry Stevens has captured Cleveland by

storm. He has got up a beautiful soore card and has filled it with advertising arranged in attrac­ tive colors and forms. Harry says "nothing less. than 75,000 cards go this year. That or noth­ ing."

ODDS AND KNDS OF NEWS.Tho Cleveland diamond was never in finer

condition.Big blue flags over the Ilollenden and Wed-

dell houses and over the Cuyaboga building will show when games are to be played on the home grounds this vear.

Cleveland would not object to Tom Lynch or Bob Emslio for Ihe opening t-omos.

Over forty local games scheduled for last Sun­ day were prevented by rain.

Cuppy or Clarkeon will probably pitch the opening game here.

The new season tickets are pretty enough to be filed away as souvenirs.

Both the World and Presn now issue special base ball editions ut the close of the Cleveland games, wherever the club may be.

McAleer and Burkett are said to be covering an immense amount of ground in tbe outfield this year.

O'Connorand Zimmer will alternate regu­ larly behind the bat hereafter. S

Some bright, beautiful afternoon the battery fur Cleveland is likely to be Chirks™ and Kwing, ju«t for an experiment, you know.

Jake Virtue's work thus far has been re­ markably good.

Pitcher D. ivies says he never felt more like pitching good ball in all bis life. He in greatly liked hero. ELMKR E BATES.
