It's No Use. We Can't Figure It Out ? |
|
Cincinnati Enquirer |
|
06-08-1876 |
|
|
It's
no use; we can't figure it out with much glory
to "Our Boys." Maybe, if we had a lighting
calculator, we might do something with those
figues. But under the rule of three we calculate
nothing but sorrow and tribulation. Twenty one
to five ! That's what the wires whispered and oh
! how sad ! How sad ! If the twenty-one had only
come West, young man came West and left the five
in the East ! But it's always just Cincinnati's
luck to get the little add of the horn. Yes sir
it's true.
Haven't we just told you that the Mutuals
defeated our Cincinnati Red Stockings by a score
of 21 to 5. The boys fell down as it were and
tramped all over themselves. And the whangdoodle
mourneth for its first born. Don't talk about
seeing into the mountains of Hepsidam - or any
other dam mountains and gnawing a file. A whole
bundle of pig iron on top Mount Chimborazo would
not answer to express our regret. As Artemus
Ward said when the organ-grinder died, "We never
felt so ashamed in our lives" And as the same
gentleman observed to his physician on another
occasion when he was not feeling well. "We
regret it exceedingly," Twenty one to five !
There are only two worse in the English language
to express all we feel as we contemplate that
score. The first is an interjection, and the
other isn't in the dictionary.
Our special
correspondent says it was an off day with the
Reds. That's why they played so off-ally, we
suppose. Ah-h-h-h-h ! We had just prepared
ourselves to say something about the fine
fielding of the Cincinnatis in that Resolutes
game Wednesday, when they made but three errors.
But after we have scanned our special from
Brooklyn we have concluded to defer all remarks
until after the next game. Meanwhile let is all
weep. There is a very appropriate (unreadable
word)
from Milton's Paradise Lost, which we beg to
quote this time as a sort of consolation for our
baseball readers.
"Oh hell -
What do my eyes in grief behold ?" There is no
irreverence in the expression, because Milton
wrote it and it seemed so appropriate to the
occasion as we read it.
Below we give a
short, sweet, soul-harrowing account of the
defeat by telegraph. As we read it there came
across us a realization of how Napoleon must
have felt when he was fleeing from the field of
Waterloo. Below is the official score of the
game. For some reason the error column was
omitted and totals bunched. Why this is we can
not tell. Maybe the scorer couldn't keep count.
There should be an assistant scorer to help the
score-in-chief out on an "off" day. Then we
could distribute the errors correctly and
fairly. As it is, we must give one and
seven-ninth errors to each of the Reds and one
and one-third errors to each of the Mutuals. But
here's the score. Look at it, study it
prayerfully and weep !
About five hundred
people witnessed the second game between the
Cincinnati and Mutual Clubs and it was the worst
game the reds have played this season, or since
they have been away. The game was full of errors
on both sides and would have disgraced an
amateur club. It seems to have been an off-day
for all concerned. The Reds made no less than
sixteen fielding errors and the Mutuals made
twelve. The Mutuals got the hang on Fisher and
batted him all over the field the first seven
innings when Gould pitched the remainder of the
game, they may making nineteen clean hits. Booth
caught the last four innings and Pierson played
in right field. |
