BASE BALL.
The handsome victory of the washingtons
over the indianapolis team on Monday was off
set by their defeat yesterday by score Of II to
when it was generally acknowledged that the
game should have been theirs. The home boys
batted well. earning five runs but costly errors
were made in the fifth inning and the visitors
made six runs when they should have been
BANKED Smith pitched the last four innings
and proved very effective as the ball was not
batted outside Of the diamond.
Hawkes. is missed very much from the nine.
His play at second is one of the strong points of
the nine. The same clubs play to-day, and to-
morrow the st. Louis sluggers will play.

BOATING.
The recent heavy rains made the current in
the river very swift and a little treacherous.
Monday evening in particular it was hard work
rowing up stream. The Potomac barge started
out with gay party. but it was impossible to
get any where near the club landing. The racing
boats all took the down river course. Nordzy,
OF the Potomacs while practicing in his single
lar down the river, ran against a stake, and his
shell was broken in two. Fisher. who accom-
panied him, brought word to the boat house
and boat was sent for him. He was found on
one of the dredges waiting for means of trans
portatiOn.
In all probability Nordzy will be unable to
participate in this evenings race on account Of
the accident, but very pretty contest is eX-
pected between kcarney, Fisher and SmthsOn.
Messrs. Semmes and Bradley, the Potomac
giants will engage in desperate struggle in
working gigs this evening
AT meeting of the Columbus last evening 1t
was decided to send four-oared crew to the
Norfolk regatta on the 4th of July. The race
between this crew and the PotOmacs will be a
splendid sight. They intend also to start crews
in every race at the Potomac regatta next
month.
Hosmer defeated Ramm in the three-me race
with three turns at the point of Pines near Bos-
ton, yesterday afternoon by q little over two
lengths, in % minutes 40 seconds. The race was
for $50 side and an added purse of 5000.
