AS stated in yesterdays GAZETTE, an in
teresting game ofbasc ball was played Thurs
day between the first nine Of the Alexandria
Association and II nine from Washington,
composed of two players from the Treasury
Department, one from the Interior Depart
ment and six from the Stars, ofWashington
-Four OF the Washingtonians were formerly
members of the National nine The first
three innings were remarkable only for the
looseness of the fielding of the Alexandria
nine. The remainder of the game was very
interesting. The score was Is to 10 in favor
of the Stars. The visitors by Il unanimous
rising vote decided that they had never en-
ioyed themselves more and hoped they
would have the pleasure of playing ALEX
andria' again Some specch-making was
irdulged in, and IL vote of thanks was
ten,ered to Mr. Rammel and John Redlich,
his efficient manager for the excellent man
ner in which they were served. The Wash
ingtonians highly approve the stand taken
by Alexandria" in refusing to play the
kendalls with Il colorcd player, and say
their action was applaudcd all over Wash
ington The first nine ofthe Association will
play the War Department nine here this
afternoon. i''~" -
