to make any difference with the playing Of the
Senators yesterday. as they defeated the Hart

hotly contested. Until the last man was out
in the ninth inning there was no certainty as
to whose flagstaff the bird Of victory would
perch on, and the spectators, about half
= thousand in number, were left
at high state OF excitement Ma

team and for two innings did WE'LL but in the
third the men from Hartford jumped upon his
delivery and pounded out five runs, taking the
lead. Underwood was substituted and checked
the run-getting propensities of the visitors suf
hciently to allow the home club to crawl ahead
and finally take the game The battery for Hart
ford was Stab aud Hodgman, while Nicholas
was Washington's catcher.
The game began as though Washington were
going to repeat the dose OF Monday, one run
being made in each Of the first three innings.

and scored on a wild pitch. In the next Jor.
dan repeated the process by hitting safely,
stealing and scoring a single by Maloney.

NOTES.
Worcester today and tomorrow.
Everybody hit the ball but Hill.
Whistler has made nine home run hits this
year and leads the country.
With good weather the two games on the
Fourth with Baltimore ought to draw nearly
10000 people.
The assigned Senators have made 40 hits in
the last three games.
There Is no use trying to beat the thirteen
combination. Washington won thirteen straight
games and then went to pieces, and here ia
Baltimore losing the fourteenth game also.
The men are playing good bali, even if they
are not getting their pay, and it is to be hoped
that the people will turn out to see them in
their great act of climbing toward first place
Barnie says he has confidence that the team
here will be continued by other capitalists and
that he has no fears of Il vacancy.
The Whistlers claim the amateur champion
ship OF the northwest, having defeated the
Corcoran Rods, Alexandrias. All Americas and
the OlymYics during the past two weeks They
