STILL UNBEATEN.


mado them play another, when the game
was called with the score tic, to 5. The
game to-day promises to be hot one.
There is pretty good ground for saying
that Washington will have nine in the
American Association this season after all.
The management is very quiet on tho sub
iect, but IL was learned from outside
sources of a reliable nature that 1t Is quite
likely the Nationals and Netropolitans of
New York will be consolidated under
the namo of the former. Ii so the club
will bo located here President Appleton
of the Metropolitans is q great friend of
Manager Scanlon. 1t Is said that he has
purchased the stock Of one Of the National
stockholders Mr.. Reagan, aud If he can
purchase enough more he will make the
consolidation. A nine composed of the
best players of the Nationals and NETS"
combined would come pretty near bringing
the championship here.
Tho scoro OF Yesterdays game in one Of
the morning papers should be framed, It's
the worst so far produced. Tho total put
outs arc twenty -four, yet tho column only
adds fourteen. The total base hits for the
Brooklyns are seven. Tho column adds
ten. Next
Tho old racket of turn over the players
has already begun. Morrisey played his
fist game for the season yesterday. Yet
one of the papers says at once that he is no
good. Give them all chance, gentlemen.
The additions to the ground make a vast
improvement. Still, some Of the foul tips
will fly over towards Boyles Hotel. The
prices at this elegant resort for the comiug
season will be per game as follows; CHM
ncy scat, on main building 90 cents: seats
on main building with air foot-rests 10

A small boy stood at the corner of B

The coming champions of the American
Association, this afternoon, at Capitol Park
meet the coming champions of the Eistern
| Association for the second time. Toe
Brooklyn's have a strong nine, and may
| win, but they will know that they have
been playing ball after the game is over.
There have been fewer grand-staud um
pires this season than formerly. They
should be set down upon the moment they
show their head. Unfortunately, one Of
| two of the newspaper scribes were among
| The number.
1t would be good idea to have sepa
rate entrance gate for ladies alone, o
ladies with escorts. The management
should do everything in their power t.
encourage the attendance of the fair sex
Smoking in the upper grand-stand should
also be prohibited. There are plenty
of places on the ground where gentlemen
can smoke, without pulling it in ladies
| faces.
Proctor does as formerly the great turn
ing down" act at tho front gate. The mar
who failed to get q check, and the man VIII
| only wants to step in second to tel
his brother of his grandmother's death, ar,
alike treated TO one of Proctor's ston!

Rowing.
Kcnnody's prediction, that Beach woult
now have lots of challenges, is likely Il
prove true. Jake Gaudaur is the first tt
offer battle. Gaudaur can get lots of race
with men in this country without send
ing away out to Australia. Ross, Teemer
Hamm, Conley and others stand ready Il
give him n race at any distance, and 70
most any sum.
The last few pleasant days have brough
cut the local oarsmen. Many people arr
anxious to see race between Smithson o
the Potomacs and PeIley of the Apalos
tans. Perley is the only man who ha
ever led Smithson for mile. There ar
many who think the Analostan represen
tative the fastest sculler on the river.
John Kennedy will keep a single scull u
Cumberland's this season, and it is yer.
likely will do considerable rowing. Hi
being there will boom things for Cumberlan
greatly.
Tho only members of the old Potoma
senior crew who will row this year vii
be Ryan and Baker Mckinney positivel
refuses. "MIac" has been wheel horse an,
is entitled to some rest.
1t is to be hoped that the Analostans will
not again permit individual likes and dis
likes to stand in the way of getting OIL
their strongest junior four. That race vii
be the great contest this year in the annua
regatta.
The Potomac Boat Club last nigh
