HITTING THE BALL.
A One-sided Game Yesterday-Other
Contests.

Contests.
half thousand tired spectators left Stand
Pipe Park yesterday afternoon, surfeited with
the success Of the home team, tired Of the IN
evenness Of the contest between Washington
and Williams College. The score was only 20
to 8, and it would probably have been larger
had not the Senators grown excessively weary
from their base trotting and ceased trying in
the seventh inning. The game was a complete
avalanche from the start. The home team had
scored % runs before college man had crossed
the plates in the first, 2 in the
second, more in the third and
in the fifth. Then Williams made 2
in the sixth on q couple of hits, a single by
Brown and home-run drive by Cox. The
visitors were badly punished for this liberty,
however. for in Washington's half seven runs
were added to the mountain of q score. The
visitors made one more in the eighth. The
batteries were Mace and Riddle and Spalding,
Campbell and Cox.
HEAVY BATTING.
Nineteen hits we're placed to the credit of
the Senators, as follows: Two singles by Baden,
single and a double by Jordan, single,
double and a triple by Gleason. three singles
by Whistler, double and q single by Bird, two
singles by Hill, q single by O'Brien, two singles
by Riddle and q single and q triple by Mace.
Bader, Gleason, Whistler, Riddle and Mace
each made An error. Williams made 6 hits and
9errors. Phil Baker umpired with his usual
excellence.
II THE WEATHER PERMITS.
Today's game, the weather permitting, will
be between the Boston League team and the
Statesmen. The latter will make strong ef-
fort to continue their work OF winning and will
put Maloney and Riddle in to start off the bat
terry work against GARRISON and Bennett The
chances are rather against the home team, but
the game will probably be pretty one. Bos-
ton plays tomorrow as we'll, SO that If 1t should
rain today the people will not be robbed Of
chance to see the team that the league trium-
virate of the Hub saved from the wreck.
