srAn-ScoRE, 40 TO IL IN FAVOR or THE
AMATEUR CLuB.-The Olympics Of Wash
ington arrived In the city yesterday morning,
and In the afternoon went to Brooklyn an,
played the stars on the Captoline ground
The attendance was not very large, tnc
weather no doubt lettering
many from visiting the ground. The olymp-
les were short their best man, Force, when
may, In some respect, account for the deient
they met with. The Stars were out IN iuli
strength, and never did better than yester-
day. The game commenced at $3.50 CLOCK,
with the stars at the bat. They MADE put
one run and retired. The Olympics did the
same. The amateurs scored nye IN their
second, their oprhItrts gctting WhitcWasnsu'
In the third the Stars, by a magnificent dis
play nj the hat, ran upn score OF IL ruus
before they were disposed of-1h first and %
total bases OH clean hits were made In this
inning alone. The Washingtonlans were
unable TO score q single run In the second,
third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings, the
stars making In their fourth, blank In
their fifth, In the sixth, aud In the
seventh. In the seventh the olympics
scored .. In the eighth inning, the Stars,
by another series Of fine hits, ran up n score
OF lo-lho olymplcs again being white
wished. At the commencement Of the ninth
inning, the score stood 40 to 3, In favor Of
the Brooklynites. The score, however, was
not increased In the ninth Inning, rs they
received their second whitewash.
The Olympics then went In to make their
side Of the game look little better, and sue
ccodcd In making eight runs, and total OF
II runs to the Stars 80. This result was q
surprise TO all, for although many thought
the Stars sure to win, yet such overwhelming
defeat as the visitors received was totally
unexpected, even by the vctors themselves,
who anticipated close game. The defeat
Of yesterday was by far the worst they have
| received on their tour-not even excepting
the famous Red Stockings. They came
within two Of beating the Athletics Of Phila-
delphla on Saturday last, and then to play
eight innings OF game with an amateur
club and only make three runs, while their
younger opponents made ~, Is food for re-

orally. The Stars have added brilliant
victory to their already long list, and arc
second TO mono In the country, as many pro-

season Is over. OF the individual play OF
the stars, Worth led at the bat, Jewell and

| perfect, the only weak spo. ,eing Reeve at

very effective. The Olymplcs say that he is
the most difficult to hit OF any they have
met on their travels. Hall at first did not
have much to do, only one man going out
on his base. lie took two foul flies and n

beautiful stops, but his throwing was very
bad. Malone's play In the catchcr's posi-.

for fine playing. Robinson in the left field
took five flies very handsomely. I.ccch's
pitching was steady and even; but the Stars
had no difficulty at all in hitting him.
