THE SLIDE Is CREASED.
Washington Slipping Headiong to the
BOttom-Yesterday's Ball Games.

The Statesmen seem determined not to win
games nowadays even when they are virtually
thrust at them. Yesterday in Hartford the
other side made but 4 hits and their
pitcher sent men to bases on balls in ruinOlls
rapidity but the Senators deliberately refused
to take advantage of their opportunities and
lost by the score Of 3 to 1. Phillips and Rid
die, and Winkleman and Moore were the
batteries. In the fourth inning four men
reached first for Washington but nobody
scored. This was a sample of the fortune that
fell to the lot of the Statesmen. Fourteen
Senators were left on the bases, but one being
able to make the circuit. Gleason. In the fifth
inning. Hartford made 4 hits and 2 errors,
and Washington 5 hits and 8 errors.
| Worcester won from Baltimore, 4 to 8, by
means of a bunch of hits and errors in the
third, netting three runs. Stafford and GUM
asse and Baker and O'Rourke were the bat
teries. Baltimore made Z hits and 8 errors and
Worcester s hits and 4 errors.
Newark won from New Haven. 8 to 2. Miller
and Duffy and Doran and Hofford were the
batteries. Newark made 8 hits and 1 error
and New Haven 8 hits and two errors.
Jersey City took u game from Wilmington,
10 to 3. Stein and Corcoran and Fitzgerald
and Murphy were in the points. Jersey City
made II hits and 4 errors and Wilmington s
hits and 8 errors.

No wonder we are going Town hill.
Jersey City will be the next to overtake us. r
Hartford had a change of luck-Washington
has another chance to lose today.
1t Is a pity-fOr Wilmington's sake-that we
do not go to that town on this trip. The team
plays i'll Baltimore Friday and Saturday and
then returns home.
This trip abroad is the longest the team will
take this season. By the time of their next
long trip, in the middle Of July. there may be
a change of luck.
The games scheduled for the Pittsburg
league cub at home June 8, 10 and II. are to
be played In Cincinnati, on account of small
attendances. ONeill is trying to have the adj
mission reduced to 20 cents. How are the
mighty fallen!
Winkleman gave nine men bases on balls
yesterday. and struck out six men. Phillips
o. WV ooS ohu oi i'm Jul v H1tH.
Umpire Larry Corcoran will probably have
to leave the Atlantic Association staff. He is a
good umpire, but unreliable.
The brotherhood club has such a monopoly
in Buffalo that the Buffalo international
League team is to be transferred to Montreal.
A little sacrifice hitting would have helped
the team to a victory yesterday. There is
going to be a wonderful brace when the club
gets home, or else something will drop
heavily.
Bader's name has been returned to its old
place at the head of the batting list. 1t is
quite evident that Manager Ted has been try
ing experiments.
The Post boys would like to hear from any
uniformed club in the District.

Morris. Stone, Erner. Fuller, Ellis, Keyworth,
