STILL DRAWING BLANKS.
The Washington's Again Victims Of the
New YOrks-Other Games Yesterday.

New forks-Other Games Yesterday.
By some queer coincidence the score of the
league game in New York yesterday was just
the same as that of the day before. 16 to 3. By
another coincidence, less strange, indeed, the
same club had the 16 runs, and it was the same
club that tumbled ANONYMOUSLY and ungrace-
fully into the potage. 1t is needless to remin
folks that New York won on Wednesday, and
thus tip them hint as to who it was that made
the runs yesterday. The batteries in yester-
days game were O'Day, Clark, and Mack, and
WEIGH and Ewing. The Giants of Gotham too
an exceeding delight in finding O'Days curves
at frequent intervals, and sending the ball
spinning over the platform for various num-
bers OF bases, earning nine runs. The Senators
made all of their three runs in the first inning,
batting pretty well. but after that inning Mick
eys delivery was entirely too much of prob
lem, and not Statesman crossed the plate. In
the fourth inning Clark injured one of his fin
gers, and Mack took his place. The fielding
was not particularly good on either side, Wash
1ngton making five errors and New York six
but the tremendous batting of the Gothamites
made up for their failures in the field. They
made eight runs in the last inning, of which
six were earned. Altogether Washington made
hits and New York 10. Roger Conner did
the best work with the stick, making a home
run, double, and single. O'Day gave eight

weather kept the attendance down to a few over
thousand.
REAL GAMES.
After winning the game from Boston yester-
day, Philadelphia INDUCED in some errors and
let the beaneaters first tie the score and then
make the winning run in the ninth inning.
Casey and Clements, and Clarkson and Bennett
were the batteries. The ponies took yery
kindly to Clarkson's curves at first, and hit him
pretty hard, but he found his reserve force at
once and held his opponents down. Casey's
work in the box was excellent, but he was ham
dicapped by errors by Clements and Irwin that
enabled the Hubites to score. Philadelphia
made hits and D errors, and Boston 8 hits and
errors. The final score was to H.
Cleveland and Pittsburg played another close
and interesting game, the infants winning by the
score of to 2. Calvin and Miller and D Brien
and thinner were the batteries. Cleveland
made hits and 2 errors and Pittsburg hits
and error.
A smuggling match in indianapolis resulted in
victory for Chicago-16 to IS. Gumbert,
Tener and Farrell, and Burdick and Daily were
the batteries. Chicago made II hits and 7
errors. and Indianapolis IA hits and errors.
The Hoosiers played a plucky uphill game,
making runs in the last two innings

GOOD GAME TO WATCH.
In the list of games played yesterday above
will be found a mention of a contest between
Diamonds and Club" Translated this modest
announcement means that the Reporters de-
feated the Policemen in the long-expected
game at Capitol park. 1t was a beautiful game
in some ways. The beauty lay chiefly in the
graceful curves described by the sphere as it
sailed out over the turf-and out of reach
and the elegant manners in which the various
unfortunates ambled after it. But there was
fun rampant. and the 800 people who were
present laughed immoderately. The sympa-
thies of the urchins in the lower part of the
grand stand lent great volume of voice TO
cheer on the tagging hopes of the guard
lans of the public peace. At first the
Clubs presented Dyer and Ghennan as a
battery, but after the Diamonds had
batteG out IA runs in the third inning, Dyer
retired to left field and Casey came in to the
box. He was effective at first, but the report
ers gradually solved the problem and ended up
by scoring about they pleased. He grew
wilder as he pitched, and in the sixth inning
gave five men bases on balls and in the seventh
gave five more. Jones and Dwyer occupied
the points for the Diamonds, exchanging places
in the fifth inning. Eight innings were played,
the game lasting two hours and quarter. The
fielding was done by Boardman, of the police
team, and Dwyer and Doyle of the Diamonds
Jones struck out eleven men, but his delivery
was freely hit in the latter part of the game.
The Diamonds made IL hits and l6 errors and
the Clubs II hits and Is errors.
The Post newsboys play the Primroses at
Capitol park next Tuesday.
Boston plays but three games here There
will be no game on the home grounds Tuesday

Mrs. Morrill, arrived III Washington to-day.
Perhaps she will prove Washingtons mascot.
All OF the new men have been given an oppor-
tunity to show their worth, and to-day Mr..
ODrien wilh resume his old position. Carney
will play right field. Manager Morrill, thinks
that he will be all right in that position.
President Hewett ii is said declined $500 for
the release of Sweeny 10 the Chicago club.
Manager Morrill, thinks that Ebright is the
making OF first-class catcher. He will have to
get over his stage fright first.
