BASEBALL sMALLTALK.

The Washingtons batted with unusual
energy yesterday, making IL hits Off
Shreve, who was in the box for Indian
apolis. The Hoosiers could make only 3
hits off Daily, who was very effective but
was given miserable support by the nine,
who made 13 errors.
Yesterdays game was the poorest game
our nine has played this season, worse
even than the 10 to 10 game with New
York here.
Myers had another off day yesterday
Donnelly played in poor form. In fact
everyone but the clever little Hoy and
the sturdy Dutehman made errors.
Indianapolis didn't earn one of its
runs. Washington earned 3 of its six.
After such "rotten" playing yesterday
the boys will probably put up a good game
to-day.
Denny and Buckley accepted and 7
chances, respectively, yesterday. They
were stone wall, and saved Indianapolis
bad defeat.
Cliff Carroll has signed to play right
field for Pittsburg. He will take part in
to.day's game.
Keefe and Baldwin will be the New
York-Chicago pitchers to day.

CONTRARY TO LAW.
The Custom OF Reserving Seats at the
Theatres.

The Custom OF Reserving Seats at the
Theatres.
II is fact worthy of note that the Gus
tom regarding reserved seats obtaining
among The Washington theatres is IN di-
rect violation of law passed by the Dis
trict Legislature in 1878, and never since
repealed. The act reads as follows
"After opening for the reception or en-
tertainment of persons attending any
theatrical exhibition, public show or
amusement of whatever name or nature,
for which money or other reward IS in
any manner demanded or received, It
shall he unlawful for any person or per-
sons to sell or dispose of, or to permit the
sale or disposed Of such tickets or seats so
as to reserve particular seats in either
portion of said show theatre or exhl-
bition to any individual, or to mark on
or describe as reserved or taken any seat
or seats which have not been reserved by
the sale of tickets therefor previous to the
opening of such exhibition show or place
Of amusement"
In other words, under this law gem
eral admission ticket entities the holder
to any scat in the house that has not been
reserved prior to the opening of the doors
for that evenings performance. A fine
not less than 50, or more than So is the
penalty provided for any violation of
this act.
This law, however, is in little likelihood
of being enforced, as n test case was
brought before the Supreme Court of
the District and il was decided that the
act did not hold good. The law stands,
nevertheless, and the point could at any
time again be raised and brought before
the courts,
