LOUISVILLE -LACONICS.The Team at Home Again listerbrook

and Touiney Released A Deal For Short- stop George Smith Manager Davidsaii Not Discouraged, Etc.Lou;sviLr.E, Ky.. May 8. Editor Spor.Tr.va

Th» club opened hero this afteriiocu with a bail defeat from tbj Drooklyns. afier n disastrous trip. It won otny two gamei while abroad ono at Kan*a8 City ant one at Cincinnati. It a'so c»me tack different in sliape, if not iou>roved. Manager David-ou does iiol seem ut all c»st dowu, but e^y* he will have a trooi! club T^t. He La* anDOunred that he is now oegotwt- inj; for two or three good players, bat be will uot tell ttieir DfttiieH, na ho eays it wilt interfere with hU plûj were he lo do so.

TWO SfEN RELEASED.Ex-captain and ex-firat basoman Esterbrook and

abort btop Tomney have been unconditionally released by Ewîilenl Daviilson. It must ba said fur ToDinor tliat he is a (rood fifldor, but ho waa so badly "rattlei" that he could n'.>t do himself justice. The bid show ing of the club has demonstrated fuily that a change is Imperative, and 1'resident Da-vidtson proposes to make if. Since Eiterbrook was re;i«ved of the cap- talacy and assigned 10 tho benches IJecker has playec the initial Ia<. He has fcbcnvo his ability to plaj there, and in the fu lire he will occupy it regularly Ewiiig, Stratton and Khrot will attend to the pitchin(r and tfce first two are accounted capable of good work while in Khret (here is the material, and with a little raoro practice it will be developed. Jimmy Wolf is play i eg short well, but there is no reason for weaken' iog the outfield to strengthen tho infield, and a deal if on between Mr. D.ivMsoa and Mr, Uyrne, by which George Sm ; th is to be transferred to Louisville. Sm tl U unable to play at present, but it ia hoped he will be ready foi work in a few d*yp, The negotiations have Lot IMF u concludnl, Lut there is hardiy a doubt Ini that Smith wiil eoon wear a Louisville ualffrm. He will be played at s'jort when seju red, and Wolf will go hack to right fielJ.

Wolf Ima been getting alone Tory nicely as captain and the club has imp; ovdd somewhat under his m^n agemeiif. Wolf waa always a fine tail player and i gentlemanly follow, ami the other players are bourn tohavoa cM'tuin reupoct for him. So far they havt oleve.l him unhesitatingly.

While in Cincinnati Mr. Davidson telegraphed t Ecmsey and Kerini to get th-mselves in readirjens fv the ope til n£ fume hare. This battery has been idle nl tbeeeason. The two men were in very poor coudilion dtiiiug the exliibition games, and I dy not think Ihe] are much improved now. They are not likely to provi (o air. Darlfco.i tliftt thoy "are to bo relied upon Ramsey has male no effort io train himself into pitcli- ID? fi.rm, and Kerins has (lore little better. There salt of to-day's gauio proved the truth of this.

DAVIDSOX STILL HOPEFUL.Dnring the absence of the Louiavillea it was report

that Mr. Davtflgon was anxious to dispose of the club On his return he at orco denied th'e. "I have already stated that i was after two or three now men," said to THE SPORTING LIFE correspondent, "aud if J Intended to sell the club I would not be making ar rangements lo improve it. I see no particular rt-asoo why I ehoii'.d be dis'ati-fiel. It is true that we have lest a jroud many paoiet», but Inck was againi-t us in > goi.d many inatancta, and our opponents were sevura times victiiDB wheu they were outplayed. Finiincially the club has keen doing well. All our home games Lave been played to good crowds and we lia ceived most er-courasintr support. I believe yet t!ta we will have a good reason both financially anl otht-r- wtw, and any talk of my wanting to aell tbe club ii without foundation."

Mr. David*cn is certainly pro'ty sangninewitn anch. a club as tho Louisvilloa cm Ins. hands. Of comse he receives every ihiy sugaestioiis of what he eb'.uld di in order to strengthen the team. Ho-t of these ar< oTered bv KICD who \voa!d not follow their own advice if they were in hia position. Therefore I am a little chary in commenting upon them, but uevertbeles* think I might mention some altfr<tti.jii8 which wouh not hurt. It ia pretty generally conceded iu Louia- vllle, and a!no in all the other cities the team has vis ited, that it lias on ! y a very few firat-class men '.eft. 1 think Blr. Davidson Gtir.iil'.l sell or release It'iiu- s^y, Hecker, Khret, Kernn an! Brownfng. Thi would leave only Weaver, Wolf, Shannon, Ray mond, Strftttoc, Kwicg, Vaughu and Cook, am to flil the places of tho former Mr. David- sun would have to como fruity near getting a new nine. It would take lots of money pu;l eu'erprise tc B?cure 80 many new player* of first-class ability, bu it seems to be the only thing that will phca the nine on a firm bHB's. Mr. Tavid* -n may not have tin money, but if he has not he should sell out to EOUII one who has. He can find such purchasers.

MINOR MENTION.Pete Browning, since his reinstatement, has been

playing a really creditable game. Pete Fays he baa rctuniK'd for good. He admits having frequentl wandered in past years from the pti'ha of eobriety, bu t.iys ho will never do so again. S mie of bis friend e ay that Pele was scaiefl at the idea of being laM up-ji the sbelf BDU thought he hud bettor brace up am show that be still kuowa how to play ball. I am afraii that Pete's go-.td work will Lot last long. A nun can not lend fur years the life lie hai aud then tuddt-ut; stttle iuto a suler, fcteadv player.

Talk of "Dirty" Ball Playing The Ca:i e of George hmiifi Disa<lvant££t>i* of SCateii Island Compared to Brooklyn, Etc.BaooKLVN, May 9. Kditor SPORTING LIFE: We

iave reached the blood-boiling notcb in the base ball hennoineter io this locality, and if tha circus cou- inues the e?nson will close with on epidemic cf tpinal nmgtunia" or emotional in-anity. T!.e Lip .nd tuck tussilu with the Giabls opened the bill, then D intermediate spatni of scarlatina with several c'uba

n the exhibitma line ensued; then came the scrap nth the Baltimore^ and then a meeting with the

Ubieties that drtw out the cranks in droves audwound up with the town crazy ou a mooted point.

The Athletics and Bridegrooms tirtt miles away fiom ere, but the ghbble, clamor and dissension, from hich they rushed mvay in haste, is still coiug OD. iot with a throcg of almost 13,000 at tbe Ridgewood

grounds, but in every hole Hnd corner iu tho citv. At ilmost every turn a man may make he is con f routed

">y a qufstioner who wants to know this, that or the tiier thing about the sudden and extraordinary ter- niimtiou of last Sunday's game at the suburban ;roiind. There was a heap of money on tho result, ihicli fact accounts tor the sustained interest.

THE TROUBLE AT RIDGE'WOOD.

The loes of tbree gimies straight by tbe Athletics set very enthusiast wild, find tbo several road3 loading to lie Mecca of the Sunday base tallidts were overrun. ?he horae cars were for the uouco turned in'.o rulliug iool rooms, odds bein^ offered and taken every way. .'ha £oueral impression seemed to be that the Athletics

were due to win, nnd a big pot of money in small bi ts waa placed that way. That fact, and also that tho Quakers are big favorites in Brooklyn, brought about a mest friendly feeliug for the visiting club. The game opened with some minor sensational incidents, md op to the filth inuiug, when the score was a tie, he excitement was almost painful. Then tho Ath- etics made a spurt and knocked out four runs, mid Irooklyu had one man out and a ru*u at the bat when here was a stir among the crowd at the lower end of lie field, then a rush ani some seven thousand people, mpelKd by some power, dashed on the diamond, swal- uwcd the plaveis iu a maelstrom of hun.auity nnd the

gtime was shut off at a point most critical. Tho dozen »r more jay coppers fought valiantly with the crowd, 'resident Byrr.eand Mnuager McGunnigle leading the orces, but they, too, were s.ôn lost in tho rush aud the

attempt to resume pliy mi^lit as well have beau made i2ttinst an ocean torrent. So tho p! ay era of both t ams nade for the dress! 111? rooms, with tho crowd howling or play. As the latter refused to vacate the field, and o much time had been lot-t iu trying to persuade them o do so, they were informed that such a thiu^ was im-

AVELCfl's COSTLY JOKE.

President Byrne was mad. Order and a dollar'sworth for u dollar is his hobby, and ho told the trow d hat had they kept their places they would have wii-

Lessed a full Kami. Iho crowd then besieged the >reea box, and tlie cry went up that Curt Welch was to lame, as lie had invitod those standing near him to

encroach on the diamond. Numbers wore found who ub.-tantiutsd tins statement, aud the great centre icider came in for a sharp scoring. In addition. I was icrsoually informed by a friend wbo mado tho trip

across tho bay in the feny-boat on the way to thoPennsylvania depot, on which iho members of both tluba were after the game, that Welch, ia speaking of tie rush, admitted that he had called ia tho crowd, 'juet for fan."i trust Curt will see the joke, but as several of the

Brooklyn players overhear.! hi-* remark tho case that vill be pre'oenttd by the Brooklyn Club will prove

rather strong when the matter is brought up for a louring.- While tho affair is hanging fire, the game,

according to Umpire Holland's decision, ttaud;i it dr.iw, 10 having called it lack to the fifth inning, when the

score was ft tie.As according to the rules, the homo club is required

to furnish sufficient police protection to insure the payers from interruption, some people have argued ;hat President Byrne was culpable in not having a arger force than was present on hand. Th» Infer, in answer, however, ho Ms that he fully ttved up to the rule and that the force on hand 1ms heretofore served :he purpose sought iu having them there. If euchdaahej bv a mob as that of list Sunday is to be con sidered, he contend1) that a policeman for every one or two spectators will be necessary. Aside from ihe ob- jectiocalla features of the event it waa too had that the game ended as it did, tu it well afforded the straight-laced opponents of Sunday base ball a chance to get in their little annual kick. The weekly diver sion WHS threatened last season, but the utter absence of anyihing ou which to base n, solid complaint de feated the attempt. Last Sunday's gathering was the largest that has ever been at Ridgo wood, and every thing went merrily until the stampede. It would be a j.i'y with such a promising sea-on uhfad to have not ouly the home team, hut all tbe visiting clubs denied tho privilege of [.Inying ball.

Another matter fur regret is the fact that such an interesting serif s should hnvo such an unsatisfactory termiuatiun. Tho Bridegrooms were playing iu superb shapo aud had lo!s of liuk, wnd the Athletics v.ero doing almost &s well, and the interest in the series was dfcidedly of t!:e intense order. Or. Suurduy over 8000 people turned out to witiK-rs the game, and al though the sympathy was ua'uraMy with the home learn, t Is ere was A marked feeling of resentment against the Quakers for their failure to do butler than t'uey did.

During their stay here there anrearml to have been ascruw loose somewhere. All the.r twirlers were hit easily and baby fumbling was not unknown among them. Tiien think of Curt \Vi!ch dropping ouly u. half-bigh-pop-up and letting in two runj. Curt i king-pin in tnis locality, and his erratic doings cau theseuding forth of several full sized groans fn.m hisadmners. But the two clubs aro now about even up, and their next advent here will injure a big turning out.

HYPOCRITICAL SCRIBES SCORED.

For several days past tlie high church howlers in tho newspaper ranks about here have been wailing about dirty ball, crying for reform and turning up tho whites of their eyes in holy horror, because Presi dent Jfyrue told tLeoi frankly, alluding to tho Balti more-Brooklyn incidentf, that he had resolved on re taliatory tactics, and mount to have his lueu give two kicks for every cue received. He was tired of the kisa-for-a-blow policy, he said, aud all ihe gushers turned blue with amazement, an.l sighed, ; '0h, de.ir;" how awful!" One very young innocent indulged iu a column dissertation on tho wicked uoingn of the Hridegroonr.s, and wound up w.tli a com me u da I ion for Darby O'Brien, in which he chuck'edover the cute- ness of the big captain in planting himself in a pecu liar position iu the Lox while at tho bat, and holding himself In such a wny in to compel tiie oppj&iug Chtcher to stand s^me feet further buck than he other wise would. T(;eu he goes ou to say that his young K>ul is filled with joy at each successive go mo through the cleverness of O'Brlen in discovering some new trick to bother opposing players.

Tim "k!d r * has evidently never wrestled with tho word consistency as yet.

AH tha preachers that have been beard from on "dirty ball" evidently incline- to the idea tlmt the national panic should fce oiei:ed with prayer and in terspersed Viitu Pealtu-singiirg. They want all plajers lo ho of the goldou-haired-tioiitle-Anuie breed, and conduct themselves accordingly. Tberemuttbe LO unseemly shouting, and wben contest-inls meet in a doud of dust at the bastw, with the bleachers going mat.', they mmt ccma together witU an "Ah then-!" touch, and say "I beg your pardon,' 1 or "Excuse my apparent rttdencFs, I was in a hurry," and then kiss an I let tho aume go on.

If this Is n<it tbe way the sponge-cake critics view the problem then they do not kuow what "dirty ball" means, During tlie entire scries with t'ie Baltimore the Bridegrooms went no further than to indulge ia noisy co&:hiii£, or endeavor to puzzle the Orioles, par don me, Waspc, by indulging in some litile manoeuvre calculated to botucr them. There was no wrestling, pushing or prize-ring method*, auch as marked the Uaitimores' pluy, and hence I argue that the rot about tho Bridegrooms and their alleged "dirty bill," waa entirely uncalled for.

One of these grumblers has already prophesied the immediate doom of the uaUou-il game, if clubs that meet Ua:uie'« men attempt lo meet them on the.r own baaid. l-'ranchi-ied, he intimated, will not be worth a s:m:>, ami tbe base bull busiue-s will go to tiio deaini- tiou bow-wows at the close of tho present season. Why tlie mJlenuium will not como before, he fails in his ftifid-, in to etAte.

For my part I beUeve that strategic and Fpicy base ball I'Uyiug 1^ tie only kind th*t ptiys. The crowd likes it becdf.K'3 it adds flavor to a good contest, and the mere f^ct that a player puzzles hi* vpp'>ueur, ia a source oJ amusement. If we are to have noiselasi*, gilt-edged aud 'niacliino pame^ liit-n why uot put ei^hleon automatons ia the fle'.d, und either drop iu your nickle or turn the crank and tee your uice Sab bath school &a.iiie.

SMITH'S CASE.News coirea from Louisville that short stop George

Smith has been eold by Brooklyn to Louisville, aut right on tho heels of it that Davit!son wants to se.ll out the whole business, as he is disgusted. If Smith goes it will cause much regret, ai he is ono of ihe white- haired boy?. Smith h-*s been peculiarly unfortunate during the pu^t three years, he having had a tevt-ie epell of eicknets in 18S7, then We hurt hi* arm list tea- ton, aud DOW he is laid up with an itjurod ankle. Each of these ailments rendered him practically me- letw to the club for a lengthy peiiod at Ihe most criticiil times, which, of cours?, was neither pleasant fur the management nor himself, lie was very enthusiastic at the opening of the present season, and to!d me tliat ho meant io surpass himself. He statted out in great bhape, and was hitting with his old-'irue luck, when he ni'-'t vntli tt.o accident that laid h'rn 1 >w. Smith has been gc-ue ally credited wilh haviug hmt the eeries with Kew York for Biookiyu, but if Bjb Curuthers had not fumbled a baby hit aud then threw mountains high over first ban', letiiug tha bnUmin around, Brooklyn would in all probability have won iu ihe ninth killing, and the playing of the tenth, iu which Smith comunted hia error, not have been ueces- eary, I will be sorry to see Smith go and doubly pained to know that ho is to travel in poor company.

STATEN ISLAND'S DISADVANTAGES.Well, that man Karris across tie river is s'ill divid

ing his time weaning himself from lie;ius, and fi^cring cr.t u winning season for the Glints at St. George. But with all hi* mathematical rfteurch he has not solved the problem as yet, nnd what it. more, he never will. The tru!h about St. George is that unlvsi a man motins to take a day and a niyht off, t'terc i« little use of him «oiog there. The brokers and oflice men who in year's past have aimply skipped from their places of business into an elevated train, aud were whirled uptown and almost dumped at the pates of the ifci! ground, and then after the game found tnewstlv*e within easy dislameof home and dinner, will ~ ' tftke kiadly lo Wyuttu'rf rcnort ou the bay.

The board showed that In dianapolis did m.», after P.ttBburj; had bafed cut six runt) in the flrtt two inning, and the result wa-> that ludiauapyl's won the game. It was u-jt ti.ou^ht that a change of p-tchers would hurdly win the game fur Columbus, but it would have been accep:i;;l ua abso lutely good evidence that everything waa Leing djud to btuiu the tiJe ot humiliating defeat.

GOOD ADVICE, BUT The work of the Columbus team, while playing a

series of gam03 here witli tho Athlutics and 1'alti- morep.gitve iininense satisfaction to the larê cr.<w<is that greeted lb,9 teams rach day, and wiiilj CoiutnLiict1 weak points were made nmuiftet. yet cnouch wua se-,-a to prove that ihero is much good ball on their shelves in stock. They are, however, expected to get »oma of it down away from home as weil as here. It may be that the umpire gives them tLe worst of it away from home. Thai's what they all say, although the umpired de-ay it, but as thore are at least nine to one iu thid statement, tbe word of tho ball player must be be given tho most wîybt. Tht-ref^re ihj ttam will betxpociO'J lo Miii game!, if they do win any uway from home, by defeating the local teams and tho um pire. If that statement boMsgood with tho Coliuubus tf am. thoa it i s but fair t > pix-cmm-3 that it lu-Idi equally good with tha visiting teams' Htitements when tlicy return to their, booiep. «nd so at the end of th» tca&on it would be seen tiiat the evil about evens up, and while each team has gotten tbe woitt of it from the umpire, yet no toim is any the worsa f«» it. Every honorable art and trick should be em- pUyed to win g^mes. If at any part of th^ gniiie a trick cau be turned no mutter what it is that will pull ihe game for the local ttam, providing always thi-.t the tried is within the limits of k-gul und honor able warfare, then it should by all niejins.be taken ad vantage of. Perhaps Columbus cau k-ara 8:niict'.;iu3 to its advantage by the defeats it sustains at St. Louis, in drawing fome knowledge of tlie way tlie St. LouU Club plrtjs ball. That team goes in to win *it each game. It is composed cf the r liar pe f fund shrewdest ball players in the American As-i'ochVion, and they plav ball just ai hard against tha weakest team as they do 'against the etronges'. They play bull just as hard in tha last inning as in the flr*r. They never know when they are whipped until t!u' game is over. Ihey never know, on the other hand, when to COJIKO trying to get runs, and their example all through, the ee.is >a would bewell to emulate, and itS3eun to mo thit (hat is just what Kansas City H doiu^, with the gratifying result that lUat team is putting up as flna ball a* ii being played by any Association or Longno te.iia iu the country. Columbus has fchown ou several occa sions, when in the lead iu n eanif, ft tendency to let up on their push aud vim. This is one of tho most fatal mistakes that can be miide, nud will, if iiot checked, lose them games this scasou that £hould b* easy victories.

I received a letter from Tom (Sin-ly) McDermVta /BW days ago in wh'ch he expre?s-s surprise at tlie bad showing of Columbus. He cays he kuo*3 tli3 "f:ang" can play tall and that 13uckenb^rg«r is th« right man in the ri^ht place. Pan-.ly ears he is very well pleaied with the Western A^SJCâli'ii, where he u umpitin^, and fruin all ho can learn tl;ey are a.»ti«fiad witli him. He also says that the tea:n3 in that Asiocati n are patting up.some very rrtpid bail. He einâ loud prai-e of Wam-ahan, whom n«veliiud secured from the Minnc.ipolis Clul', and sajs ho i-) a sure winner; that he c-vers !o:s of territory, is ;t No. I Lase-iuuntr and literally rloo^bs up the earth with base blip, arid "HIP, oh, my, how he cau shoot 'era over to first base. \Vish that Co'uaibu* hal him," Ho s»y^ also tbat Milt West is d -.ing liuely and in very well thought of tiirjughout the League. Milt U pti'.tliig up a fiisl-olass article of ball. Sandy think-* Murks, short ttopof the Sioux Citys, is a fine litldtr umt au excellent all-round nun. Sandy's hundreds of friends lure aro delighted with hi» work end know, so thfy say, that the Western Aas.ciatiou lâs a prize ia him.

OBJECTIONABLE NOISY COACH ISO.'

Mark Baldwin pitched last S;iuday's game bera, th« firat one a Columbus crowd evtr saw him in. Ho lost the game, it IB true, by a wild streak tiiat i?track him in the second inning, but for all that ho is well liked sudmade fast friend.* with llu lar:co crowd that sr.v hia work. Ho \vas bn:idlcapped a trift-'J by Peop'- 8 ' P°or showing behind the bnt, who se«siod limit.lo to hold h»a cannon eh.it^, and also by the wild, Con;n.nc*ie kif:d rf coaching Tucker, the leather Inu^ of t!io Baltimore team, indulged in. "Tlii-V 1 Baldwin *ni<l to nip. "» 9 a tilyle of ball plau'nir 1 am noMiwl to, fcr in lh« League none of this mYse is allowtd. I shoti'd think the epecta'.ora would object to such fri^ht'ul yelling" gailhe; but ha doesn't know, prol-aWy, ihit ilut i*» style of warfare that tho Asscciuliou supp'Tieri »r-- ac customed to, und he muit bf, too, if he oxpe-.U to con trol tits utrves when in tho box. Without auy doubt this man Tiicktrfc the mikit-st man iu lha bmineaa and a grant kidder. II« is either Lelcliiny; forlh nfi'oss the diamond at the pitcher or chewing at the biooch- era, and se- mi to keep hid tvuip.T thnmx'u it all.

George ll-innim s ; oj)j!ad over io Coltiinbm, Sunday Itt-t, to visit wrth Mrs. Birnutn, who is living here, and he saw the (Jolumbuv-B.Uiiniî'e gunr-1 . He t'tinks Iho Columbus a great tâm, wh ch will, thii se*s>n, cause aotne older clubi to do some w»ej*ing. He la very much pleaded with the I.oi.ûo and 8iiy» us lias gotten along very well so far in his work. The crowds have"tn-atel him very uicoly, whu-li lie re gards as good evidence ttat hi^ work is satisfactory. He iwriicu'r.rly objects to tho noi^y, howliug style of coichiui? indulged in by Tucker, and uvera timt it is (ft-timei so quiet Iu the League i,"sur-s that U.ul-mvst klud of conversation between tlu coacher nnd b-is-j- runner ctn bo dNtmctly he.-irl.
