WASHINGTON ADDS ONE MORE
GAME TO ITS WINNINGS

Result Sullivan Sanguine. The
Games at Capitol Park.

The local club went a little neare,
fourth place yesterday and 60 has an
CN client opportunity Of going into tha
POSITION today Washington won yes
tcriay from the Jersey City Club with
ridiculous case. The game was a farce
on The part Of the visitors and was f,
yCtilablc comedy of errors. An The
local team had TO do was to hit the bal

ably sure Of getting TO- first Eithe
The fielder would tumble u OF throw 10
wild, and there was a constant pro
Cession of Washington men going
around the bases.
After McDcrmott had been tried and
found wanting, Ronssey, the short stop
of the visiting team. took a turn az
pitching, He did very Creditably, and
had he received any kind Of support
the score would have been materially
less, although the result would not have
been affected.
The home team did excellent work at
the bat, and the way the men lined the
leather out for two and three bases must
have made the felders on the opposing
club very weary. The visitors also lift
Phillips freely, but he managed to keep
the hts scattered and was given excel
lent support
Several pretty double plays were
made. the most noticeable being the
capture Of a high foul fy by Riddle in
the last inning, who fieldcd the ball 10
first In time to cut of a runner return

clubs play again, and Underwood and
Riddle and Fitzgerald and Murphy
will be the batteries.
Jack WentZ, the new second base.
man, arrived yesterday, and will play
his first game to- day. Gleason has been
suffering for some time from a sore
thumb, and has concluded to take a rest,
so that Wcntz will play second, and
O'Brieu will take Glcasons place at
short.
Wentz, the new man, Is tall,
athletic built young man, and looks TO
be ball player. He comes with a good
record, and his work will be watched
closely With him he docs not feel he
is coming into a club where all the men
are strangers, but as many OF them
last year, he feels very much at home,
and promises to give good account Of
himself.

agu. lie believes the team Is striking
its gait and that his prediction that Il
would hc pressing the leaders by the
Fourth Of July will bc fulfilled. The
men are getting In good form, and what

the manner In which the pitchers are

use of his arm, and much 20

idly leaving the arm Of his sOuth.paw
twirler Underwood has shown all the
requisites Of a good pitcher, and, being
young, will constantly Improve while
Phillips has proved the mainstay Of the
team thus far, and no doubt will con.

Consequently sullivan is happy, and
his dreams are constantly Of the hand,

Itwas announced exclusively in THE
CRITIC yesterday afternoon that the
Washington Club would resume rs
games at Capitol Park on Friday with
the New Havens. The Post this morn
ing declares that the matter was deCld.

tender OF the grounds was made tO Mr..
Heweit on Tuesday and practically &C.
cepted by him that day, but the hnal
arrangements were made yesterday

The games tomorrow and Saturday
al the old park are purely In the nature
Of an experiment The patrons Of the
game have declared they will follow

HeWett is willing to give them an op-
pOrtunity 10 show their sincerity, III
the two games do not prove Temunera

The new grounds are better fitted up
than Capitol Park, and II the HeTdiC

what the experiment will prove a sue
