Rnse BALL.
Our Nationals walked of with another victory
yesterday afternoon, eapturingIa ten inning
game from the Pittsburgs, the seore being 5 to
f. The Nationalsare not only playing a strong,
steady game, but what is almost as necessary.
are playing in good luck. The niue as it is now
constituted could not we'll be improved upon.
Every man plays his position as best he knows
how, and although criticisms cpuld be made
upon certain points, such as Wise's habit of
stepping back when about to strike, Halpin' s
tendency to step back for a bounding bail in
stead OF running upon it, &c, stIl the general
playing OF all is so honest and so steady at crit
cal points that they deserve nothing but praise
for their ability to meet any OF the clubs in the
association on equal terms. Owing tOpoor sue
cess in the early part of the season. the Nationals
will not be able to take the stand at the end Of
the season that they would had they been pos
sessed of their present strength at the COM
mencement. 1t is confidently expected that
they will take fourth place from the Baltimore.
The ST. Louis nine will undoubtedly hold first
place, and the Cincinnati second. with the Bos-
ton probably third. The Nationals have sue
ceeded in winning fifteen successive games,
besides two drawn games. This is record to
be proud of. 1t almost equals that of the Balti-
mores, without suspicion Of playing with dead
and lively balls. They have but nine games
to play here before the end OF the season--four
with the st. Louis. four with the Cincnnatis
and one with the Baltimores On the 9th they
go on western tour. which will finish the season
THE UNION ASSOCIATION TO MEET HERE.
On Tuesday evening there will be meeting
of the Union association in this city, when some
matters of Importance will be settled. 1t is
probable that by that time there will be two
vacancies in the association. The Wilmngtons
are expected to disband this evening, and an
other one to follow suit early in the week. 1t
may be decided to finish the season with but
six clubs. On the other hand the Milwaukee
club has applied for admission to the associa-
ton. If admitted each OF the eastern clubs can
have several games with them on the western
trip. and the newly admitted club will be able
to start in next season on equal terms with the
rest.
THE STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
at present the standing of the clubs Of the
Union association is as follows:

FISHING IN THE UPPER POTOMAC
The cooler weather is cordially welcomed by
the anglers who have had their early fall sport
spoiled by the excessive warm weather During
the past week but few bass comparatively have
been caught in this vicinity, and the failure of
fishermen was attributed to the hot weather
One party took a trip up to Seneca and remained
there for several days. They hardly caught as
many fish as they could eat. Their only catches
were made very early in the morning A few
cool nights, however, will revive the sluggish
bass and set him to seeking for food. The water
is so clear at present that the angler has to use
unusual care and pains to deceive the wary and
watchful bass. Next week several camping par
ties will leave Washington for few days sport
on the upper Potomac and the Shenandoah The
best eaten in this neighborhood of late was
made by Mr.. John Hancock at the old club
house last Saturday. He landed % bass, all OF
them running above pound in weight
