A VERY EXCITING coNTEsr-orHER GAMES
| YEsrERDAY-FIELD NOTES, ETC
Yesterday was another great day for the N a.
tonals. They defeated the doughty ball toss
ers from Boston by score Of IL to IL, after a
very evenly contested game. The home boys
were out-batted; but by occasional brilliant
fielding, aided by some very costly errors on
the part Of the visitors, they managed to pull
| out ahead. Shaw had no terrors for the Bostons
and in the first part of the game they piled up
hits one after the other. After the fifth inning
the "wizard" seemed to have the upper hand OF
the visitors, and but for inexcusable errors they
would have made no runs in the last four In
nings. The Bostons made three earned runs in
the first inning. They added one more in the
fourth and three in the fifth innings. The Ma
tomas secured one run In the second inning
and three in the fifth. The score then stood z
to In favor of the visitors, who were BANKED
in the next three innings. In those same three
| score, and tied the visitors amidst the greatest
excitement. The visitors came in for their last
inning, and the crowd was breathess with sup
pressed excitement The first man was promptly
put ont, but after two chances had been given
10 knowles the visitors added four runs To their
seven already gained. The audience was
greatly disappointed. After working so hard
tQovercone big lead to make a present Of four
runs in the last inning was discouraging TO say
bat in the last inning but few people had any
hopes of the Nationals being able to make live
more runs. Bakers luck was with him. and he
gained first on a tumble. Carroll then struck
out. Baker worked his way round to third
and Paul Hines made hit and brought
him home, Hines finally reaching third.
Start was given his base by the pitcher and
was caught while going to second, Hines scor-
ing. Knowles made bit, Gilligan was given
GladmOn then lifted the ball into far right field
just out OF reach Tor two bases, aud The score
followed with clean base hit and Gladmon
made for home. The ball and the runner made
u very close race. The majority OF the audience
thought 1t was out, but the umpire decided
safe, and the game was won. Never has there
been seen such an exciting time on Washing
ton ball field. The umpire must have been cor
rect In his last decision, or the BOstons would
have kicked, and kicked hard too. A gentle
man who sat where he could see the last play
exactly as the umpire did, said that Gadmon
was undoubtedly safe, for the catcher was a lit
tie back of the base and touched GladmOn just
after he had thrust his foot forward and touched
the plate. 1t was very fortunate victory, tor
1t places the Nationals we'll up with the best OF
them.
OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY.
The Philadelphias who were treated SO badly
here last week, much to their surprise, had no
difficulty in downing the New York giants
yesterday in Philadelphia, by a score OF to 3.
The New York team was accompanied by u
large number of Wall street brokers and other
enthusiastic hackers, supplied with a number
OF brooins, emblematic OF ''clean OUT OF the
quaker City team, which they expected their
cub to accomplish without much trouble.
These brooms they hung up very conspicuously
before the game opened, in order to attract the
attention vi the local teams supporters and in
a measure tantaliZe them. Finally, when the
game was over, President Day and his friends
brought the broolns down and generously threw
them in on the field. The New York players
walked away with their heads bowed down,
keenly feeling their defeat.
The game between Kansas City and Detroit
yesterday, in Kansas City, was easily won by
q i 4 % l. W,iS

NOTES.
Knowles had a day OF yesterday. He could
do nothing with grounIers He presented the
BoStons with four runs, and Ii Was thought
with the game. GadmoD and Force fortunately
came to tie rescue: ~XnoMies is good fielder
generally, but he got nervous, and over anxiety
was the cause or his errors He made one
brilliant play. He got u man out at second, but
was knocked head over heels without losing
the ball.
Force batted well yesterday, and he is almost
three strikes, and two bases on little fly to
pitcher. He cid some magnificent fielding at
short that captured the audience.
Paul Hines got in lis customary home run
yesterday, lifting the bail over lett neid fence.
Two to one that Knowles plays a splendid
Daily and Crane will be the Nationals bat
terry in to-day's game with the Bostons.
The Philadelphia club gave New York guar
antee OF $500 yesterday and kept oil the
ceipts. The Phiadelphias play in New York
on the same TERMS Over 5000 paid at the
gates.
The st. Louis Maroons are regarded in Chi
cago as a dark horse in the league champion
ship race. 1t is said that they would stand a
better chance If they had one more first-class
sweeney Bowie q mai
but the former loses his effectiveness If used
more than once or twice week, aud the latter
cannot be expected to pitch oitener than every
other game.
Season tickets in Detroit will cost $50 this
season, and in Chicago $3.50.
Manning. it is said, gets 81, 800 from Balti-
more.
The eight leading base ball organizations will
employ over seven hundred players, whose
$780, 900.
Base ball sharps predict that K!lroy, Balti-
and will then break down entirely. He is very
excitable at critical points.
An exchange says that the Metropolitans
need looking after, aud a few OF the things to be
done to make the CLUB mos of a success are to
stop the shouting while on the field, stop their
kicking, and make Lynch either pitcher or cap
tain, as it is impossible for one man to be both
with success.
The Kansas City Base Ball club has been in
corporated for q lite OF fifty years. The capital
stock is $4,000. They evidently intend to
stay.
Eleven aSSOCldtlOnS, WIN ABOUT Oh CLUBS, are
now protected by the national agreement.
John Lynch Of the Metropolitan club says
that Bickham, the young Princeton pitcher is
the swiftest thrOwer now on the diamond, and
that no man can stand up and hold his rifle
shot balls. Lynch coached him before the OPEN
ing of the season.
Barz!ey has cost the Pittsburg club, includ-
ing salary, 81, 900.
''Our Cause Il Not LOST
MR.. JEFFERSON DAVIS MAKES ANOTHER SPEECH
AT SAVANNAH,
On his arrival at Savannah Sunday night In
response to the greeting Of the citizens, Jetfer-
son Davis spoke as follows from the porch OF
the residence of Mr.. II. NJ. Conner, his host:
II want to thank you for this manifestation
of your Kindness. It convinces me that our
cause is not lost but that 1t lives In the hearts
of the sons of the patriots of 1776. We are now
at peace with the whole world and earnestly
hope that we shall remain SO; but TO remain at
peace with the world does not involve the aban-
document of principles, or the denial Of truth.
1t is thus that receive your Manifestations.
and it is for this thank YOU"
