ALLEGED BALL PLAYING.
How Washington Dropped o Game to
the WilmingtOns.

The game Of ball at Capitol Park yesterday
between the Senators and the Wilmingtons was
about as poor an exhibition as has been wit
messed here for long time. Both teams played
badly, but the visitors happened to get in their
hits just at about the same time that the
Statesmen made their misplays, and of course
they (the other side) won by the score of
Is to 8. 1t really seemed at first as though
Washington were going to have walk-over.
but the erstwhile tail-enders waited for the
time to come when the Senators should tumble
the ball and throw it wild, which they did in the
fifth inning to s1ch an extent that the enemy
made five runs and tied the score. Thence
forth the game was a comedy of errors on the
home SIDE, the visitors having sworn of, and the
small crowd in attendance was very much
disguised. The batteries were Underwood
and Riddle and Anderson and Corcoran. The
visitors scored twice in the first inning and
once in the second. The Senators pounded
out tour in the second on a couple of bases on
balls, three hard singles and muff by Left
Fielder Galligan, and four more in the third
on two more bases on balls many singles
and misplays by Anderson and Keay. In the
fifth Hill, Gleason and Riddle made errors,
Lynch found the ball for three bases and Carl
and Galligan made singles In the sixth the
game was really won by the Delawareans by
means OF base on balls and two singles
netting two runs. They clinched the victory
IN the eighth with three more, Lynch giving
Bader chance to muf, Coogan made a double
and Bird threw wildly to third.
