THE BROOKLYN UNION. SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1885. WITH SUPPLEMENT. BASE-BALL GAMES. BROOKLYNS GIVE.

THE PITTS. BURG CLUB A TERRIBLE BEATING. yesterday: Providence -Providence, 6 Boston, At -Chicago. 5 St. Louis, At Buffalo -Buffalo, 5 Detroit, 4.

The Heavy Batters' of the Home Team Run Up a Total of Thirteen Runs Against Their Adversaries Two Runs Incidents of the Game-Umpire Valentine Badly Hurt--The New York-Philadelphia Game -Saturday Base-ball All Over the Country--Games at Prospect Park. When the game between the Brooklyn and nines was yesterday at WashPittabureh, there called, fully four thousand people on the grounds, and during the first and second innings many more came in. The stand looked like the one at the Coney Island Jockey Club on a great race day. Brilliantly dressed women were there, and many wellknown Sporting men and men about towa. The game was well worth looking at, Ag it was one of the finest ever played at Washington Park.

The bome team, despite its crippled condition (Phillips being laid up and Porter having a bad band), came to the front bravely and did some splendid ball playing. Morris, the crack batter of the Pittsburz8, was hit harder than ba has been hit before this season. The Brooklyas were equally good in their field work, and the "bittery," Porter and Hayes, were capital. The latter, in particular, deserves especial mention; his work behind the bat was great, and it would be a good idea for Manager Hackett to bave him catch for Porter all the time. Porter is certainly pitching better and swifter than be did before Hayes began to catch for him.

In the third innr ing Krieg made a home run. It was a great hit. certainly, the longest bail that has been struck this season on the Washington Park grounds. It went way into the bigh grass at centra flald. The teature of this run was that although Krieg slipped and nearly tell at the third base.

he still had abundance of time to get home. He crossed the home plate pale and exhausted, the crowd rose. from their seats and cheered him again and again. Krieg also played a strong game at first base. For a wonder the fielding of the home nine was excellent yesterday, and both Hotaling and Cassidy held their ends up in good style, the former putting four men out in centre field.

Morris and Kemmler did not do especially well for the Pitteburgs, the former lost his temper, as usual, and threw wild when there Was no 00 casico for it, and the latter let several balls pass him at critical points in the game. The field work of the Putsburgs WAS also weak. In the second inning Jack" Valentine, the umpire, was bit in the stomach by one of Morris' terrible bails. He was doubled up, but pluckily kept at his work until be eud of the inaing, when he was obliged to retire. Eddie West, one of the American Association's substitute umpires, was put in his place.

West discharged his rather thankless task in an acceptable manaer, and bis decisions were all just. The Game. -Neither side scored in the first two mnigs, and the Pittsburg were unable to tally until the seventh inning. In the third inning Krieg got in his home run. In the fourth inning it became evident that the Brooklyn batters were getting on Morris; at the end of this inning they had made more hits off of him than in the entire games early in the week when he pitched.

In the fourth inning Swartwood minde a two-base hit. and went to third on an error of Smith's; the struck Smith's toot, and bounded up into Swartwood went bell, home on a fly of Porter's to left field. Hayes got to first Smith's error, stole to second, went to third on the throw in home of len's, and came home on an error of Morris', who threw wild to third. In the fifth inning Cassidy made 8 base bit, went to second on 8 wild pitch, to third on Krieg's "forced," and home on an error by Kemmler, who dropped the ball at the home plate. Krieg took first on a "forced," went to secon 1 on Smith's throw home that Kemmler muffed, to third on a passed ball, and home on a threebase hit of Hotaling'8.

Smith made a base bit and went home on Hotaling's three-bagger. Hotaling going home on a two-base bit of Swartwood's. DWATTWOOO CHINO hago hit. Porter's and Porter gut home on a passed ball making the sixth run of the inning, three of hich were earned. The Brooklyns could have made more than they did in this inning if they only ran the bases better.

In the sixth inning Cassidy went to first on a wild throw of Kuehne's, to second on a passed ball, to third. on .8 "balk" of the pitcher, who persisted in throwing overhand, and home (n.a wild pitch. Smith went to first on a overhand throw), to second on another "balk" of the same kind, to third on a witd pitch, and home on another wild pitch. In the seventh inning the Brooklyns failed to score, but the Pittsburgs made their first run. Fields went to first and forced" to second on seven balls, and home on a base bit of Morris's.

In the eighth the Brooklyns made their last two runs. Pinkney got to first on an error of Fields, who fumbled a ball that was hit to him by Cassidy, went to, second on another error of, Fields, who this time muffed a ball that Whitney threw to him, and home from second on a base hit of Krieg'8. Cassidy went to first on Fields's error, to third on Krieg's hit, and home on a wild pitch. In the ninth inning the Pittsburgs made their second and last run. Kemmler made three-bage bit, and went home on a base hit of Morris's.

The viotory grained by the Brooklyns yesterday was a notable one, as the Pittsburgs are now 8 good second in the championship race, and they played their strongest men in the game. On Monday next the American Association will probably return to the same as that now 10 use in the League clubs, overhand pitch. Morris will come out strong under this rule, so will Harkins, who was a first-class overhand pitcher while he was on the Cleveland League. The full score of yesterday's game is as follows: BROOKLYN.

NEW YORK VS. game between the New York and Philadelphia League teams at the Polo Grounds yesterday was attended by more than 8.000 persons. Up to the eigbth inning the visitors seemed to have everything their own way; playing a good game in the field and their battery doing some fine work. In the ipning O'Rourke made a safe two-base bit but tried to steal to third. It was the general opinion that he was put out at this bag, but Umpire Decker ruled otherwise, conscientiously too, and would not alter his decision.

After this the Quakers played loosely and as a result allowed the New Yorkers to make five runs and win the game. The full score is: PHILADELPHIA. NEW YORK. Manning, I. r.

A high wind to- day and yesterday's storm combined made it impossible for fast time to be made, and before the start it was a foregone conclusion that no record would be broken. George M. Hendee, the champion amateur rider of America, fatted in his effort to break Sand3rg Sellers's mile record of 2:89, made at Hartford last September.

He spurted for a half mile, making it in 1:20. The wind was too strong, and Mr. Hendee, who to-day made his quarter mile in 40 1-5 seconds, gave it up, and will try again Monday. In the 20 mile race for the fam '19 Pop? Cup, a serious accident occurred. When four milog had been made, H.

Kavanagh received a bad out on the head, and was severely bruised, but managed to hobble off the track. Hamilton was more severely injured, and was' off.

He sprained an ankle, out one hand badly, and received several severe contusions. The result of the races were: Three-mile minute class -D. E. Hunter, 9:44 1-5; S. Kavanaugh 2d, E.

Fac-Simile Postage Stamps. Rather an odd question has been raised in the Post Office Department, growing out of the rapid increase among the young folks of this country of phylatelism, or the desire to collect postage stamps in albums. A prominent New York journalist has written to the Department that he has discovered 12,000 stamp collectors among the children in the New York public schools, and that these children are imposed upon by firms who manufacture fao similes of postage stamps and sell them 88 cancelled stamps, thus swindling the little ones. He has requested that these firms be proceeded against by the Post Office Department for counterfeiting foreign stamps. Samples of United States stamps manufactured in Germany have been submitted to the attention of the Department, but they bear across their face the words fao simile," thus showing their true character.

Inspectors have been directed to report upon the matter, and a thorough investigation will be made by the Department. Woman Suffrage in Wyoming. Governor Warren, of Wyoming Territory, in an interview with a Oleveland Leader reporter, said woman suffrage in that territory bag been a -success, and added: The law was passed about sixteen years ago by A Democratic legislature, more in the way of fun, I believe, than from any other motive. Ongor two attempts were made later to repeal the law, but failed tlatly. Then some of the officials in power maliciciously placed names of women in the jury boxes, and women were drawn as Jurors.

But within the past ten years nothing of this kind has been done. The women never asked to serve as jurors, although they made good ones, and you can imagine the inconvenience and weariness that a woman would suffer in a long trial followed by an all-nisht session of the jury. We think that it is no more right that women should serve on juries because they are voters than they should hoe corn because they own property. How about the offices? The women have evinced no desire to hold many of the political offices. They are made school committees, superintendents of instruction, etc, but that is substantially all.

We have had one justice of the peace, however. It was argued at first that the presence of women at the polls would have a bad effeet. The contrary has been proved. The women and men piss up to the polls, band in their ballots. give their names and go away as nonchalantly as they go to the theatre.

find also that the women very generally exercise their right to vote. In Cheyenne the roughs generally congregate only in a votiox precinct where there are few women voters. We find that the gallantry of men does not cease to exist while they are at the voting places. Beef Brains for Food. From the Chicago Tribune.

"Yes. the brains of cattle are a treat at this season of the year," said the caterer, "but we have difficuly in securing a supply. A great many people are infatuated with sweetbreads, especially those whose stomachs are of the weak sort. Now the brains of cattle are in greater demand than sweetbreads, aad when it becomes known that the dish can be secured here epicures from all parta of the city will pay me a visit. Moreover, the dish is a nutritious one, and when prepared by a French 000K is fit tor the gods.

es, I'll sell those at sixty vents per order, and you can see that there is quite a profit in them. The cause of the small supply is attributed to the manner in which cattle are killed in Chicago. One would think that where thousands of cattle are slaughtered daily there would be an abundance of brains, but such is not the case. Some of the butchers kill their cattle by staving in their skulls with a sledge-hammer. Others shout them throuwh the brains, and when cattle are killed that way the brains are unfit for food.

The blood coagulates there, and beside, the brains are smashed into a jelly. They have to be taken out whole and handled carefully in order to dispose of them to customers." The little man who makes a living by supplying restaurants with brains was seen, and he agreed with the caterer. He said: "Packers have no use for the brains of cattle, and, in fact, it is the only part of the beat that is not used. As a dish it is the finest in the restaurant line, but it is hard to get 'em. Ween the butcher severs the head from the body and removes the tongue, I take the bead one side and with a chisel remove the front of the skull.

A couple of twists of a knife-blade removes the littie cords and out it drops. Without much ditticulty I can get two dozen a day. I sell them for $2 per dozen, so you see it's not a bad business." MARRIED. REAST-ARMSTRONG-Brooklyn, N. on Satur.
