baseball Notes.

Over 5000 people witnessed yesterdays
game with the Nets, which was lost by one
rum to 5.
Considering that 1t was the first game Of
the Washingtons, their playing was very
creditable. They made but four errors to
to the Nets six, aud scored six base hits to
the Nets five.
The weak point in the home nine yester-
day was the battery. Barr gave three men
their bases and Hines had three passed balls,
besides wild throw which let IN a run,
Otherwise the game was closely contested
and extremely interesting.
The opinion was freely expressed that
Mike Hines is not the man to face Barr's
pitching. He certainly demonstrated the
fact that he was unable to do it yesterday,
but give him little time
The system OF scoring used by the base
ball reporter Of morning contemporary Is
as unique as II must be disheartening to the
friends OF the Washingtons. He credits
the home nine with twelve errors instead of
four, and gives them only five base hits in
stead Of six. Such scoring would demoral-
ize any nine.
Shaw and Gilligan will be the battery to-
day opposed to the Nets, and a victory cap
be confidently predicted.
