that the visiting clubs the only identified with
the professional organization which was beaten
by the Washing tOnians on their recent Northern
tour. Since the date of the contests in New
Haven, the visitors have made an improvement
in their nine by securing the services Of mckinley
and SOmmerville of the Centennial nine Of Phila-
delphia-the former OfwhOm plays catcher and
the latter at third base.
With these additions they have INDUCED the
assurance that they are able to get away with our
boys, and are evidently little chagrined by the
fact that they alone should be victimiZed by the
representatives of the National Metropolis. This
is very creditable feeling, but it should not be
INDUCED at the expense of friendly demeanor and
courteous rivalry, a. it on Satu1d last.
The audience in attendance upon the game was
large, considering the hundred and one diversions
which had been arranged to draw people off from
the city during the holiday. The two mines put
in prompt appearance, the visitors being attired
in white tannels, trimmed with dark blue, blue
and white plaid stockings, and the name Of their
GrganizaIion upon the breasts of their shirts. Mr..
PHny HOuRh, ui the National club of this city,
was selected as umpire and
THE GAME
began with the home boys at the bat Parks
gave Luh chance to retire him on the ty, but he
failed and striker reached lrst, and was passed
TO second on a baulk by Luh. Holly got his base
and Parks went to third, and came home on a
throw Of Mckinley to second. Allison reached his
trst a hit to Luh who ielded it TO third and
ran out. Holly between the bases. Brady followed
with Z fine shoulder hit, making three bags and
bringing Allison home. Rrssler got his first on a

and was ielded out at first by Bancker closing
the inning for the Washington with double play
and three runs.
The visitors being at the bat, Gesr was
felded out at first by an easy hit to Stearns Nc
Kelvy followed. Two balls had been called On
the pitcher. and three more balls delivered none
of which had been passed upon by the umpire,
Johnny Ryan, of the visitors, called the umpire's
attention TO the requirement. of the regulations,
that in such cases the third ball piched must be a
called ball or 4 strike. The umpire-mest plainly
ignorant Of this regulatiCn-cOuld not see the
point SO we'll taken. Here general chinning
began. Capt. Holly was called from the field,
ard agreed to abide by whatever decision the
umpire might deem proper. Capt. Gould, of the
New Haven nine, insis that the stricken must
have his base play be suspended. After
competent explanations the umpire backed water
and gave the striker his base, and the play pro-
eeeded
TROUBLES OF AN UMPIRE.
Just here let all gentlemen having any regard
for the feelings and opinions Of the patrons of the
national game, and at the same time who are not
posted in the latest edition of base ball regula-
tions, and had some experience in the art of um-
piring, take fools advice and not put them
selves up for hgure-heads, to be insulted and
mCcked by the representatives of the common
herd who always c0ngregate at a ball game.
This was but the beginning OF the troubles in
the game Of Saturday, The balls were counted
with care by the players on either side during the
times when it did not apply. 1t is extremely an
nOying to crowd assem- bled for amusement to
listen 10 quarrels Of this descriptions and there is
no surer method Of bringing the game into dis
pute and disgusting the public.
Soon the umpire was called upon by one of the
Washington nine to rule upon the motion Of the
arm Of Mr. Luff, the pitcher of the New Haven
club, and decide whether It was not throw In
stead Of pitch. The latitude given pitchers by
the rules does not bar throw If the hand ami
motion are kept below the waist.
The quarrel being ended and McKelTey given
his base on the point urged by Captain Gould,
Ryan followed with hit to Doescher, and made
his FIRST while Doescher was eRdeayorfng to cut

hrst, while the ball from hts bat was being felded
TO third, where Luf was cut of. Upper then re-
tired the side, flying out to Parks.

MORE COSTLY ERRORS,
In the third inning Holly made his first on a
dropped ny BY Ryan. Allison flied out TO Upper, |
who feIded the ball to second to cut of Holly Fac
umpire, however, decided Holly not out, and the
grumbliDg and Ginning Of those who thought |

Ter made his base on his hit, and MCKINLEY let

GAME BROKEN Up IN ROW.
The ninth inning was then begun the score
sF2nding nine 10 ten in laVOr OF the New Haven |
! ne washington 0OMefST- soon made two |
scores, Daley and Stearns leading of with base |
hits, and Daley scoring on a passed ball, and
S;earns coming home on Doeseher's strike, on
which Doescher was fielded out at first. Say and
Parks were then retired in succession, and the
visitors took the willow, and after Luf had flied |
out TO Ressler and SOmmeryille had been retired |
at first. Upper went to the bat, when Charley |
Gould, the captain Of the visiting nine called the
attention Of the umpire TO the delivery Of Parks,
and asked that his pitching be ruled out. The
umpire very properly refused, whereupon Gould |
refused to finish the play. The crowd had run in
upon the field, and chin music prevailed, when |
the umpire declared the game forfeited by the |
visitors by score Of nine TO nothing.
The action Of Gould cannot be justified under |
any circumstances. Parks had pitched two innings |
without aIy dissatisfaction. Moreover, IL is said |
that be pitched one Of the games won by the Wash
ingtOn at New Haven on its recent trip. The |
game will staad to the credit Of the Washington
club.
