SHUT-OUT IN JERSEY.
The Columbia Ball Players Defeated
Other Games.


The Columbia ball team suffered shut-out
and defeat Saturday at the hands of the New
Jersey Athletic Clubs nine at Bergen Point,
the score being to 0. The trouble was that
the opposing pitcher (Currie) was too decep-
tive. The Columbias hit him often enough,
bat not safely. and they were thrown out OH
the bases. Walsh and Daily were IN the points
for the Washington athletes. The fielding was
very clever on both sides. the worst break be-
ing an error by Bolway, who let q
grounder so through him and run
scored. The Jerseymen were fortu-
nate in punching their hits and won by
virtue of general good playing. o. p. Caylor,
the editor of the sporting Tunes, umpired the
game. Several Columbia Club men were pres
cnt at the contest as spectators. Columbia
made hits and errors and New jersey hits
and 4 errors Walsh gave one base ON balls
and struck out six men and Currie gave one
base and struck out four men.

Reforms at the Washington Asvluu

Rev. Mr.. Parson, pastor OF tho Church Of the
Reformation, Capitol Hill, preached yesterday
for the first time after an absence of two
months. Instead of delivering regular SER
mon he gave some Of the results of his obser-
vations in the penal institutions and reforma-
tories of New England and compared them
with what he had seen here as q member of the
board of visitors to the Washington Asylum
He said II was disgrace to the nation that the
unfortunate poor and the criminal classes here
should be all huddled together ON one spot,
common hospital when sick. The single-eell
system is the best in use, and the lack of it
makes our work house an antiquated hive in
which the young and old swarm together with
out hope of an improvement in their condi-
ton.
