THE BALL GAMEs YESTERDAY

There was not very large attendance at the
National Baltimore game yesterday afternoon.
There should have been, for 1t was very pref
ty game It was short and marked with some
splendid plays on both sides. Only two runs
were made and they were put down for the
home nine, baltimore getting nothing. The
Nationals made one OF their runs in the second
and the other In the seventh inning. The Ma
uonals did some good batting. The game was
umpired by Latham. Latham makes good
umpire and is very energetic. His only draw
back Is that he keeps the ladies In constant sus-
pense. He takes his place carefully dressed, It
Is true, but 1t is impossible to predict how much
clothing he win take of before the game is over.
