THE DIAMoND FIELD.
A Victory for the Nationals.

~ VICTORY Tor the Nationals.
The bad luck Of last week seems to have been
liftId from the National nine, and they started
out yesterday with more encouraging prospects
for the future. The celebrated Worcester club
recognized for their ability as 6elders aud
skill In handling the bat, met them on the
National grounds yesterday, and, after brill
liant game, succumbed to the home club by
score Of fvo to three, In a match Of seven In
nings The eighth inning was entered upon,
aud the Nationals handled the bat with such
success as to get three more runs. Then tho visit
ors commenced loose playing to carry the game
into the dark, and to prevent those additional
runs from being scored. While this was In
dulged In two more runs were added, and
when the game was called the Nationals had
made five runs which they could not count,
the score falling back on the seventh, the last
full innings completed. There was n marked
improvement In the fielding Of tho home
club. Houck was brought In to play short.

The change met with some opposition,
but Houck demonstrated that he could fill the
position by his play, one error only being
chargeablo to him. II he will curb his habits
and give his best abilities to the game nobody
doubts his success. Fouser had only Que oppor.
tunty given him In the centre field, and he
then demonstrated tho same weakness so fire..
quently shown by him when playing In the
in.feld, which Is that he will not make any
effort to capture an uncertain ball for fear of
marring his record by an error He should
have caught the hy ball in the centre field, and
not run up to 1t, halted, and waited to get It on
the bound, thereby giving the batter base hit
he did not deserve. 10 batting Barron, Baker
Houck, and Trott did the most execution. On
the part Of tho visitors, Sullivan, Smiley, Bat
tin, and Matthews did the principal fielding
while Matthews secured two out of three Of
the base bits credited to his side To-day the
Richmond Club, of Richmond, Va, will play
the National at i:l5 p M. This is said to be
the best club south Of this city, and an inter
