ing account OF the game s... So
The return game Of the match between the
stove named cubs came off yesterday on the
Union grounds and proved to be tedious and
about even, but the Hutuals led at the bat in
q majority CT the innings. The Washington.
ans could not "get hold on Martins pitching
until near the end OF the game, when he be-
came somewhat tired out. Had the fe.ders
taken the opportunities offered them the game
would have been much shorter, and the dis
parity in figures no doubt very much larger
than il ls. Wright and Parker were the only
members or the visiting nine to whom credit
can be given for good. Steady playing. Wright
flied the positions of second baseman. third
baseuan. catcher and pitcher during the game.
The disposition of the III utual nine was capt.
tai. HATFIELD attended to third finely. and
made tUo beautiful pick-upS. Pike, at second,
would be much more effective il trained down.
DeyyT, Bearman. and Martin aise deserve no.
