IERDAI-SorEs OF THE BALL FIELD.
The Washington ball team scored yesterday
its sixth successive cipher in its record OF
games while the Bostons tailed one. The game
was fairly interesting, taken all in all At the
start the teams were neck and neck. neither
with any advantage. but in the fifth inning the
home team did little error-making, the visitors
did little batting. and the heart-rending score
Of six runs went up on the board. This rather
took the life out of the game, especially as the
Bean-eaters succeeded in increasing their lead
by two more runs. Consequently the crowd
had thinned somewhat when the Senators went
TO the bat in the ninth inning Those who re-
manned, however, saw as pretty a squirt as
could be wished for, the home team batting
hard, aided by two kind errors and five runs
were tailed. This brought the final score to
Sto 8. The enthusiasm in that last inning was
tremendous, the crowd yelling itself hoarse as
the ball spun here and there, and blue leg
after blue leg came flying up the last ALLEY to
the plate.
THE GAME.
Hesly and Mack and Madden and Kelly were
the batteries, and they Jared about evenly, al
though Healy was tanned pretty deep brown
in the fifth. The visitors scored at the start on
a hit by Brown-who by the way, was a fiend at
the bat-a passed ball and a sacrifice hit by
Kelly. HOY threw the ball in and Mack caught
1t on the fly. but just moment too late. The
score was tied in the next inning. OBrien had

plsuse. He hit hard one out near the center
field fence. but Johnston was there. Morrill,
made nice clean hit and was advanced by a
passed ball. Kelly's gift to his rival. Myers
sacrificed to Madden neatly. and Honest John
scored when Nash threw Mack's hit badly to
Brouthers. Thus. with the tally l to l,
the game went evenly along until the latter
half of the fifth. In their half the Statesmen
had filed the bases after two were out, but Car

putting Camel out at the plate. Mack did not
exactly appreciate the situation and had to be
told TO throw to third. where the ball arrived
little behind time. 1t was a very pretty oppor-
tunIty for double. or possibly a triple play.
Then Nelly was hit by ball. and a run was
