A POOR EXHIBITION.
A Ridiculous Game OF Ball at Atlantic
Park.

Park.
The Gladiators Of Jersey City, after playing
bad enough ball to lose two or three games,
and giving their opponents the Senators, .
hrst-class show for the game, took a great brace
in the FINAL inning of yesterdays contest and
won by the score Of II to 16. The game was
very poorly played, errors being the most con-
spicuous feature, except, maybe, she hitting
of the visitors, which was something ferocious.
They earned the game by hard and we'll
punched batting. and in that line Of work the
Statesmen we're not in it at all.
Underwood and Riddle and Fitzgerald and
Dowd were the batteries at the start Under
wood lasted just for one inning and then the
visitors jumped upon his delivery and pounded
out five runs and four more in the third. adding
couple IN the fourth. Then. and not until
then. did Manager Sullivan come TO the CON
slusion that he had better make change IN
his box. and Daniels was substituted. This was
probably because in the fifth the home team
had little luck and made five runs on their
own account and then there was some show OF
winning the game. Daniels was terror
for four innings, bus one mnu getting "a FAR as
third. But in the ninth. with the score Is to IL
In favor o. Washington. he weakened and five
runs and the game were pounded out OF him.
three singles. double and a triple being the
slsmens.
INDIVIDUAL PLAYING.
Wentz. the new man, played a. second, and.
barring little nervousness at the start, which
made him furnble one two balls he showed
no in fine style. His batting was something re-
freshIng. swift and shsrp,lOw down near to the
ground and liable to be safe wherever the ball
went Two singles came from his bat, each
scoring runs He is quick a cat and made
one fine one-hand catch OF a ball thrown in
from the field, putting it on base runner SO
quickly that the spectators applauded. although
the man was not out 1t Ia the opinion OF MS
fellow players that he will make great addi-
ton TO the team. O'Brien played at short
fairly we'll. but it evident that he was
Handicapped by being out of position.
The field work of the visitors was disgrace
full. as. indeed, it has been throughout the
series here. There was but one inning in
which they dit not make a misplay and 1t
needed every one Of the hits they made to over
come the effect of this poor work.
As matter Of fact they were not entitled to
the victory. III view of the score. as in the first
inning McDermott allowed to tally on
couple Of errors by WeDtZ. when he cut third
base in running home BY fully 30 feet-a most
deliberate robbery. that o: course. the umpire
failed 10 see. Bat otherwise Mr.. Kelly
with Washington. two or three of his first-base
decisions being Trightful.
