1T WAS TOO BAD.
The Disastrous Game of Ball i'm New
York Yesterday.

| keefe, whom many local enthusiasts regard
as the coming pitcher of the League. essayed to
| twirl the ball Yesterday in a game with the New
| York team. and had the greatest difficulty in
| putting it anywhere near the plate. except at
| most inOpportune times. when the Gothamites
| hit 1T hard. He was painfully wild. sending
| eleven men TO bases on balls, a good many of
| them being in the fifth inning. when the giants
won the game by scoring seven times. Ebright

| fore, making one error and having four passed
| balls credited TO him. The New York battery
WAS Crane and Brown, who were very eff

| York had made their runs,
| Morrill, ended the agony by going into the box
| and putting the third man out. The support
which the Senators gave the battery work. that
was so sadly i'll need o! good strong bostering,
was far from what IT might have been. Sweeny

present Washington weather. He had five
chances and accepted one of them. It was but
| the happening of the inevitable. however, and
| one hears with wonder and surprise that the
| home management has refused to quote his
lease price to Chicago. Shoch still held the
left-tield platform from curling up, and besides
doing well all that he was called upon to do. hit
the ball twice for base each time, and
made sacrifice. Carney. EbriCht. Sweeny
| and Morrill, each hit safely once. and that is
| the story of the Senatorial batting. New York
had but little chance to bat owing to Keefe's
| ungenerous habit of putting the balls away out
OF reach. but they improved their chances
whenever they occurred, making IL hits. The
Giants made errors and the Statesmen Z.
There were nearly $500 people present.
