The largest crowd that has attended
a ball game in this city this year was
present at Capitol Park Yesterday after
noon 10 witness the game between the
Chicago ard Brooklyn brotherhood
ciuls II was a representative baseball
crowd, good nalurcd and ready 20 laugh
and applaud equally the good, bad and
Indifferent playing Of the men. The
bleachcrs were packed, and the grand
stand could not accommodate the crowd.
while the half dollars passed into the
cash box with a rapidiiy that brought
Joy to the heart Of Sullivan.
Tom Kinslow was the favorite Of the
crowd. He is a Washington boy aud
his friends determined 10 show what
they thought oi him, When he first
went TO the bat he was presented with
handsomely engraved medal and
basket Of flowers, and the second time
he faced the pitcher, some more admir-
ing friends presented him with another
medal These evidences Of his pOpu.
latity was too much for the big catcher,
and, although he tried 10 show his an.
probation by knocking the cover of
The ball, he could not do more than hit
easy balls, on which he was retired.
OF the game itself there Is little TO
say. II was not good one-rather too
one sided TO be interesting, and hardly
the Kind Of a contest that two clubs
with the inspiration Of such an audience
should have put up. Chicago had an
easy Victory, winning the game In the
first inning, when Il made five runs on
free hitting and bad fielding by Ward.
Comiskey did not play, owing to the
injury TO his hand. Baldwin, the Chi.
cago pitcher, played a mastery game,
and the men from the City Of Churches
were unable TO do anything with his de-
livery, although they braced up little
In the last inning and made three runs.
II Is 10 be hoped that the Washington
public will be treated to more exhibition
games before the season closes. That
they will pay was demonstrated yester.
day, and II Is To be hoped that some en-.
terprislng individuals will bring other
teams here for exhibition games.
