THE NATIONAL aAKE

B1utuaIs Versus Olym2ics, Or Washingtou,
d. C.-Easy Victory for the ssMutcs'' by =
Score Of 20 to A.
The Olympics, OF washington, d. G., went over
yesterday to the Union Grounds to try their luck
with the Mutuals Having given the veteran Allan
tics good shaking up, they were In hopes OF being
able TO play the 'Mutes" an equally good game, but
they were not long In finding their mistake; for the
New Workers thrashed them from the word "G0."
The game commenced few minutes after three
O'Clock with the Mutuals at the bat, but they were
disposed OF for "duck's egg" in very short order
Hatfield and Patterson going out ut first and Eager
on the ny to Burrows. The Oiympics were equally
fortunate, Young. Leach and Hurley going out the
former and latter the foul fly to Charlie Mills
Nelson respectively, and Glen fair ny to VOTERS
In the second inning Nelson retired at
first, Z. Mills ana Martin each scored o rum
q. Mhls was captured ON the ny by HoI-
lingshead and Swandell was treated In like
manner by Force, while the "boys with blue hOser
were treated to another OF those htghyscented but
unmentionable animals. But 1t was In the third in
nlng that the Mutes" Knocked the ''stuflngr clean
out 0f the Washing gtonans by their splendid batting
Hatfield, Patterson. Nelson, E. Mills and Charley
Mills scored two runs each-the latter Individual
making q clean home run on beautiful drive 70
left neld-while the Others each scored one
and thus ran up the handsome score OF
Two, which were earned by Young and Force. In
this inning the Mutuals made lrst base hits and
eleven totals. or course these runs were not all
earned, but the majority OF them were. The score
was now l6 to 2, and OF course the Olympcs gave
up all nope. they had any at nrst OF winning the
game, although they still did their best to change

play yesterday, Norton, the Olympics captain told
hun they could very easily dispense with his
vices whereupon he skunk away. but not until two
or three persons in the crowd had offered to buy
him tin whistle or toy drum with which ne could
amuse himself until he gets home TO ma. Glen, the
sick man, was substituted for him, and with Norton
pitching, Force on thirl Burrows at short and
Glen on first, the game moved slowly on. There
was however little OF interest during the remainder
OF It. In the fifth inning HOllingshead, Burrows and
Glen made a very pretty double play, capturing
Hatfield and Swandell. In the seventh and eighth
Johnny BerthrOng made two very brilliant catches
in centre field. His play was superb during the
whole game and 1t Is doubtful If ne has q superior
a centre fielder IN the country. He is good bat
ter, very swift runner and Is certain death TO
everything in the way OF fly balls that come IN his
vicinity. Force, Holingshead and Glen each played
we and on the part OF the Mutes all did their share.

4 WOMAN KILLED sY WALKING THROUGH A PEA.

Mrs. Catharine Norris, late OF No. $50 Water street,
died yesterday in Bellevue Hospital from the effect
OF injuries received on the 18th OF June last. De-
ceased with small child in charge, went down 10
the pier foot OF Clinton street. East river, and while
there she and the child fell through hOc in
the pier. Mrs. Norris had one of her
thighs fractured In two places, anu WITH
great difficulty both she and the chnd
were rescued by some laborers employed there.
Mrs. Norris sank gradually rom the effects OF the
Injuries, which resulted IN death. This dangerous
trap In which deceased was caught was caused by
the removal Of a splle which had been sunk IN the
bottom OF the river. On whom the responsibility
rests for allowing tile pier TO remain In such dan.
gerous condition must be determined by an investi-
pation before Coroner Keenan,, who has the Case in
charge.
