Tho clouds opened about four o'clock yester.
day afternoon, and II rained sufficiently long
to stop nearly all lovers Of baseball from at
tending on the third game of the series be-
tween the National and Pittsfeld, Of Mas
sachusetts, at the National grounds. A few
persons, backed by their love for this pastime,
ventured forth and witnessed a fve.inning
game for their courage 1t was an uniavora-
bic day, and neither nine could do justice to
their reputation as players. II was after five
o'clock before the condition of the weather
would admit of play being called.
The Nationals were forced to make some
changes in the position of their men Baker,
owing to sore hands, was compelled TO vacate
the CatCher's position, and sought rest in the
centre field. 4 trial Of Konnoy was made
behind the bat, aud 1t proved very expensive
luxury. lie was unable to hold or stop many
of the balls Lynch pitched, and the short time
he remained in the position he managed to
contribute three runs to the score Of his oppO.
ncnts. This was generous, but little too
costly, and ere the inning closed he was sup.
planted by Trott-who seems to be the general
utility man-and went to first base. where
later he added another error to his column,
making One-half Of the number chargeablc TO
his ninC.
After he went from behind the bat no more
mistakes were committed there. llouck
made brilliant dlSblc play. aud exhibited
something of his old vitality in fielding. At
the bat the National did no execution, and
failed to punish Burns, whom they faced for
the first time. Tho Pittsfcld made but one
score in the five innings and played with un.
common steadiness. The feature Of their
fielding was a magnificent running catch made
by Hopper Of the centre field. They handled
the willow freely and hit Lynch for eight
bases, although earning but one run in the
game.
For wonder the umpire, Mr.. Major, gave
satisfaction and was impartial in bis decisions
II would be we'll to hunt for such referees In
games to come.
