HARD HITTING.
Fifteen Base Hits vanquish the Ma
tiOnnIs.

kept their word. Bars heart is "clane
broke entirely" Fifteen base hits in one
game by the Cincinnati sluggers was what
did it. Charley Snyder gave warning be-
forehand and the warning was published
in this paper, but was not needed Be q
pitcher ever so good there is always one
club that bats him hard, and the Cincin-
natl club seems to be that club to Barr
1t was an interesting game, though the
home club was getting the worst of it. 1t
IS noticeable fact, that when the Ma
tionals do start batting, one man follows
right after another. Tie crowd waited
patiently for them to make break in
batting but the break did not come. 1t
was another case of Lovett
Fennelly was given warm welcome by
his many friends here, and brought down
the benches when he knocked the ball
over the centre field fence.
So confident were the friends of the Ma
tionals that they freely offered odds of two
to one that they would beat the Cincin-
natis.
Moore made some great catches in left
field, but he could not hit the ball. As
one of the Nationals said after the game:
"Whcn the ball left McCafirey's hand it
| looked like balloon, but when it got
| within striking distance, it was no larger
| than hickory nut"
Most of the Nationals were thrown out
| at first base. 1t seemed the hardest kind
| of work getting the ball outside of the dia-
| mond.
We wish the next time club wants to
| try an amateur ptcherthey would not ex-
| pertinent upon us. Loyett and now Nc
| Caflrey!
Despite the fact that Barr was hit hard
| Yesterday, he succeeded in striking out
eight men.
| The Pttsburg Sportsman says "no two
| Washington papers score alike" Right
| you are, but there are only two dailies that
| do score.
The Wilmingtons are to be pitied to-
day They play the Nationals at 1870,
and the Nationals are in that peculiar
| frame of mind which should beget caution
in an opponent. They will jump on the
| Wilmingtons, if they can, and jump real
| hard at that
Deacon Caylor when he heard the news
| last night lifted up his voice and cried
Yea, we have smote the enemy hip and
thigh" 1t is safe to say that the lurid
CLEAN of Deacon's wrath won't flash its re-

Gazette for at least two days.

The Washington Rowing Club had u
great time last night at their christening,
and turned out in full force. Never was
q baby regarded with more admiration
than was the new four-oared paper shell.
| Every one was suggesting n name for it,
and as is usually the case where there are
so many conflicting opinions, none Of the
names could be agreed upon. Finally
Frank Ward was appealed to. Being one
of the best Greek scholars in the District,
he said that he would suggest the old
Greek word "Yenredla,n which denotes
success with water" So the boat was
formally christened, and large number
| of the club members on n tug, accompa-
MED the crew rs they took their first pull
in the new boat. A lunch was served and
a good time generally had.
MAJOR Appleton has returned from his
trip North.
Mute of the Columbus finished his law
studies last night much to the delight of
| every member of his club. IL is expected
that he will take his place in the eight at
once.
A member of the Washingtons was over
in Philadelphia the other day, and went
up to see the University of Pennsylvania
eight take their evening pull. He says
that the crew does not begin to row as
well as the Coumbias, and he does not
think that it is nearly so good a crew us
they had last year.
The Potomacs had out four or two last
night. One of them came down the river
at rapid stroke.
The Analostans had out four cared
shell crew and q four-oared gig crew. The
former showed more dash in their rowing
than any crew that has been out from the
house this season. 1t was a pleasure to
see it, as this is the one thing the Analos-
tans have been deficient in. They row in
good form, but as a rule lack snap.
The Washingtons hold an important
meeting tonight at their club rooms on
Ninth street near f. 1t will be the last
meeting before the regular meeting in
July.
Lapham was out with Sweeney, Baker
and Ryan Monday night, in the four.
They think well of him for one of the
Junior crew.
Blanchard of the Washingtons will
make great oar for the junior crew.
The new club expects to have new
wooden boat here within two weeks,
though they will probably row the paper
at Fredericksburg.

have the opportunity.
Maud s.
Mr.. Robert T.. Bonner went to Philadel-
phia yesterday to see Maud S. The mare
was trotted three heats. In the last heat
she made the mile in 2:132 which is said
to be the best time ever made by u horse
at this season of the year. Maud is in
splendid condition.
