The lowering, rainy weather OF saturday forenoon

were anxious TO see the washingtons cross bats

the crowd psttook OF the clearing sunny weather.
Everybody was happy. They bought exclusive

Eddie Yewcs counter for cigars OF that quality

hard throughout the game, and Barr systematically

two single hits by Carroll and Baker. and the Jersey
Citys nv q base hit ny Reccius The latter was
the only one who seemed to hit Barr with any GER
tanty, and he Is credited with three successive base
hits. Wall-strect operators were panicky, the only
inning In which the Washiugtons failed TO score
being the eighth. The only broad error made by
the Nationals was that Of NJ. Hines in letting the
ball pass between his legs In the fourth inning.
