PLAYERS-THE GAME WITNESSED BY AN
IMNENsE CROWD
At least ten thousand persons witnessed the
last game of the series between the National
and Astoria yesterday on the Olympic grounds
and nearly all were satisfied to see the game
result as It did on account of the Astoria avail
ing themselves of the services of three inn
ported mon for this game only, but the mixed
nine OF Baltimore and Washington were forced
70 succumb to homo talent by the huniliatng
score of 81 to 2. The National batted and
felded magnifcently throughout, while their
opponents, with the exception Of the frst in
ming, were retired for goose eggs.
When the Astoria nine first appeared on
the field, tho manager and captain Of the
National very properly refused to play unless
they the AstOrial would dispense with the
BaltimOreans and on their persisting in using
them game was arranged 0S7-7--- the Pa
triot and Reds and every one was Informed
that IL they wished the money refunded which
they had paid for seats it would be done, hut
at the solicitation of several well known gcu-
tlemcn the manager of the National consented
to allow the game with the Astoria to procccd,
In order that the audience might not lc dis
appointed, rs they had all come out expressly
for that contest. While the crowd were
anxiously awaiting the result Of the conference
between the two managers the monotony in
eident thereto was relieved by several fstic
encounters which were nipped In the bud by
the police present, who were indefatigable in
their efforts to preserve order.
The umpiring Of Mr. John Major, of the
Our Boys, gave general satisfaction, as his
rulings were marked by strictness and absolute
impartiality.
