after full game of nine innings the Ceveands again
won 10y score OF to L.
Tie first game in Cleveland was played

The third Cleveland game was played OH
Wednesday. and was won by the Cevelands by the
score Of too. Derby pitched and irott caught IN
Ian was the feature OF the game
The weather prevented the Nationals from
playing the Bualos, Thursday aud Friday In Buffalo,
On Friday furious snow storm prevailed all day
showing That Buffalo is not exactly the best place for
ba-playing so early In the season.
Boston HeuH: When the Nationals de-
feated the Providence team Chicago laughed. When
the Nationals defeated the Cincinnatis, Chicago
| laughed again When the Nationals defeated the
| Chicagos, we all laughed. What did you do when
Cleveland defeated the Nationals
Because the Clevelanjs defeated the
Nationals the "croakcrs ~ Of this city are again to
the front with their abuse of the club and players.
While the nine were defeating such clubs as Provl-
dences Cincinnats, and Chicagos they kept In theif
| holes but emerged like the ground hog when de-
feat was given this city's representatives. They Will
| see their shadow soon and creep back.
Mcclellan has been doing some splendid
| batting on this trip Gcrhardt has also developed
into a good batter, his fielding always being good.
Baker has done his best. Warner has played beau.
tifnl game pignon has played ed good fielding ana
Derby has been doing some splendid playing both a'
right fielder and pitcher Lynch has been the trouble
has caused the League clubs to sqnrin and twist.
Snyder has caught only Snyder can. e., as neal
perfection as possible Troit has played where he
yigOr.
"We intend laying out Cleveland" was
the clarion sounded by the Nationals after there de-
feats 81 Chicagos Wen, they ourneyed over to tina
and done FOR in the three successiyegames CLEVELAND
has said much about the chances OF the nine that
orepresent that city IN the League aght awaiting tn
opportunity first TO how they would show up aglns
first class nine: that the chance has been giveI
| them the older clubs have commsnced To open the
will make the championship warm one for them
and that their chance Of winning the same Is goot
| as any.
