The fielding was brilliant, the hitting grand and the base running a revelation. The bright and shining stars in this department were Bob Bescher and Egan. Bescher stole second three times and third once, while Egan stole second three times.

Sin/mo by not being able to play in St. Louis and the fact that no large crowd was out yesterday, was not much of a disappointment to the business manager. The side trip to Quincy increased tlie expenses just $'»6 and the • * .proceeds were double that, so the club even made a little money on the side. Jack Ryder, the sports writ or of the (Cincinnati Enquirer, who accompanied the team, said that yesterday was the best day the teamhas had this season. Out of twrn-. ,tv games scheduled, just ten were played and all under adverse climatic conditions. The practice the teamgot out of the game with the Quincy team was worth more to the Cincinnati club than a big bunch', of money with bad weather. Of course,the mnzuma would have been taken along cheerfully with the practice, had it bean there.The Reds found many friends among the local players. Hob Bencher graduated from Bade Myer.^ Dayton team the fall before Bade accepted Quincy's ternm He was on the same team with Hartman and Bill Donahue and Ed Walker played in the Central league the name year. Hoblitzel! and Schreiber were alsoin the Central that year. Ryder also known a bunch of the local players, having been a friend of Bade Myers for ten yearn or more. He alsoknows Owens and remembered Danny Kerwin, not to'.mention tho former Central leaguers.Those who were out early had a chance to see Manager Clark Griffith pitch. The manager served his players in batting practice, pitching for three quarters of an hour, quite a performance for a man of his age.,lack Ryder knocked the canard about Fromme being slated for the discard in the head. He said that Griffith was expecting more of From-me than any other pitcher on the team, especially since it seemed certain that McQulllen would not he of any value to the club this season. Me-Quillen broke training rules at. St. Louis and was shipped home undersuspension.» • . . •Jack Ryder is the official scorer of the National league at Cincinnati and has scored games for years, but he was treated to a rare play in the very first inning and it was Hill that] pulled it off. Bescher had walked and stolen second and when Egan grounded to Hill, everyone expected Archie to peg to first, as Bescher was on third ami/ Egan would have been an easy mark at first. Instead Archie tossed the ball to Forney and Bescher looked foolish when •Severe!cl waved him out. Bescher had reached third and was ready to sprint home If Hill’s peg should not bo right. He was so sure of what was going to^happen that he did not guard himself and Archie grasped the situation in a moment for a brainy play ihat elicited a complimentary remark from the man whohas seen so many plays that a new one D extremely rare.Fromme had speed and everything else. He looks good and will undoubtedly realize Griffith's expectation of being a big winner this year.Mitchell, the Cincinnati right fielder, has led the National league for the past two years in the number of three base hits made by any one player.Altlzer, who has been playing short regularly, owing to Downey's illness, wan permitted to go to his home in Chicago a day ahead and Downey played short. The fans thought Alti-y.cr was on the job anti called Downey Dave. Altizer is considered one of the real bonehcads in the major leagues and anything Downey dislikes is to be taken for AUlzer. Histeam mates had a lot of fun kiddinghim as one fan in the bleachers did not let up on the Dave stuff as long as the game lasted.Larry McLean had a picnic. Hekidded the umpire, the fans and everybody else to his heart’s content.Schreiber pitched his first game yesterday. Since the league opened, be has not had a chance.Quincy was beaten badly, but the fans who paid their fifty cents had the satisfaction of seeing the whole Cincinnati team, not a bunch of pitchers and substitutes filling the different positions and that is worth a whole lot.Major LeagueGames PlayedtheInppupuPhBo1Tyha;innmlinpaNeBr1Wianer.LEAGUE STANDINGS.*National League*Won,Lost.Pet.Philadelphia. ....133.313New York .Q•. 5.643Pittsburg .C• IB • • • ♦ fTr».6 J 5Chicago ........ 0.600Cincinnati ..400St. LouIr . .t,30012.2 94Brooklyn . .4lt;•#***. *.11.267American league.Won.Lost.Pot.Detroit» *»i.882New York . .r, 61 5Chicago . . .7.500Washington .. ....V 7. 7.500Boston . . . .S.467Philadelphia. .... 08,429Cleveland ........ 61 I.353St. Lou la . ....... 412.250er.tinduNePh]BefirdathiW;BoCoWHEltE THEY PLAY.National League.St. Loula at Pi lift burg, Cincinnati at Chicago.New York at, Brooklyn.
