EIGHT ZEROS.
How the Washingtons Were Annihi-
lated by the Boston Sluggers.

Waterloo! Such was the game of, we'll, OF
base ball. that took place yesterday afternoon
at Capitol park. And yet that is not its proper
designation for the Waterloo of history was a
repulse that came to a man whose record was
previously filed with successes, and that Of
yesterday was but the eighth of a series of de-
feats that have yet been relieved by nothing
like contrast. In brief. the Boston club de-
feated the Senators with their eyes blinded.
their hands tied behind their backs. and their
feet shackled, by the score of % to B. 1t was a
game for hard hitters, game for bad
helders, a game for muffers, a game,
in short for everything except
good base ball. Manager Morrill,. in response
TO a howl from his assistant managers, played
DOnnelly at third and covered first bag him
self. The experiment was not a bowling sue
cess. for between them these two made half of
the errors made by the home team. and they
were not few. Donnelly was very rank, accept
ing but helf of the eight chances he had Nor
did he hit the ball, and his enthusiastic admir-
ers are pretty well silenced this morning To
be sure he in his first game. and it was
perhaps, not strange that he should go to
pieces in the complete and undeniable manner
IN which he did He may pick up and
play a beautiful game the next chance
he has. but his work yesterday shows
pretty well that he is not the great player
he is said TO be by some folks.
The home team lost, in the first place. because
they could not bat, and then because they
could not even pretend to field the balls that
the Bean-eaters batted. Healy. keefe and
4ack. and Radbourne and Bennett we're the
batteries. Healy retired after four innings
had been played and the visitors had made ~
runs. and then keefe took hold and aided the
Hubbites to IL more. Brouthers batted terri
fically. making a tNo-bagger, three base hit
and home run over the center field fence
no mn 10 har
made 10 hits, which doomed up in awful con-
East to the paltry hits of the Statesmen.
OF these Morrill, made two, each home run.
Carney and Mack did the rest. Washington
made 10 errors and Boston 3.

NOTES OF THE BALL FIELD.
New York and Boston are tied for first place,
Pittsburg and Philadelphia are very close to-
gether and near the top. indianapolis and Cleve-
land are tied at 500. Chicago saunters along in
seventh place. and Washington has a cipher for
nearly every man OH the team. and nothing else
IL seems as though they had caught a grip on
the tail OF the race. put IL through hole and
tied knot on the other side to prevent it from
getting away from them.
Ed Williamson witnessed the game at Capitol
park yesterday.
Now that the team has been tried in almost
as many different positions the marbles in
the plgs-in-clOver p1ZZle get themselves into.
would It not be good plan for some one
10 HE right Oh to some quiet western town and
pick up some more young talent that is sure to
be found growing out there? Pickett might be
