Decidedly the prettiest game OF the season,
and one II will be difficult hereafter to excel,

were several Of them-were heartily applaud
ed, aud the players encouraged to continue the
fine exhibition to the close of the game.
The Nationals put Derby In to pitch, and
Lynch took care of the right field. The
change worked admirably. The Manchcs.
ters could do nothing with DCrby's delivery
aud failed TO roll up tho base hits rs In the
previous game, and had Lynch been in con.

ton. 1t is now safe to say that the Nationals
have two excellent pitchers in their team.
Accidents were met with upon both sides,
but they did not mar the fine display, only
temporarily delaying the progress of the
game. Derby received hot liner upon the
leg that sent him hopping round for few
minutes. Stoughton, on the other side, turned
an ankle at second base, and Woods was stung
by piched hall in the last innings. The Ma

by careless base running.
The fielding Of the entire nine was almost
