They Couldn't Hit the Hartford Pitcher.


HOW YESTERDAYS GAME WAS LOST AND WHY
CONTESTS IN OTHER cTTIEs--INDIv1DUAL PLAY
ING OF THE HOME TEAM-SoTEs ABOUT GAMES
AND PLAYERS.
thousand people we're very much disap-
pointed yesterday at not seeing the Washing
ton club win game from the Hartfords. They
went to Standpipe Park for the express pur-
pose of seeing the Senators wipe the Yankees
off the face of the earth, but only saw the Wis
itors win by the score of IL to s. The cause of
the defeat of the home club-it is always in
order to give causes--was the inability of that
aggregation to hit the balls pitched by Mr..
Pagan, while the two men whom Manager Sui
liyan put into the box. Maloney and Mace. we're
not equal to the task. Maloney suffering
from bad arm and pitched three innings,
Mace taking his place when he had sent four
men to bases in the third and forced in one
run. Mace did better for awhile, striking out
four men in two innings, but then he weakened
and in the sixth the visitors began to pound
him. and after two men were out and one more
had been presented with life by Umpire Cor
coran at second base they hit out three runs
and made the score stand eight to four. An
error by Hill and a base on balls, helped by
two-base hit by Lynch, furnished two more
runs In the seventh, and then Washington
began to find out the combination of Fagans
curves and to indulge In a little batting them
selves. Hill hit safely and was forced out at
second on Birds smash to short which was I'M
fortunately well handled. O'Brien then HIT out
for base and Riddle took his base on balls
filling the circuit Then Mace waited for four
bad balls and a run was forced in. to the de-
Light of the crowd. Bader saw his opportunity
and he seized 1t, making a hit away out into
left center for three bases. This brought i'll
four runs for the inning, but Bader could not
score, for Jordan struck out and Gleason
popped up fly. By TINS means the score was
made ten to eight IN favor of the visitors and
the tagging interest of the spectators began 10
revive. But all was changed i'll the last half of
the eighth, when the visitors made two more
runs by another error by HILL a two-base hit
by Murray and a single. This practically ended
the game, for Washington could do nothing III
the ninth.
The fielding was very clean on both sides.
Washington made seven hits and three errors,
two by Hill. and Hartford made eleven hits
and two errors OBrien played good game
at second making a fine double play with
Whistler in the third. Jordan muffed one fly
ball. his first error OF the season. but other
wise his work was magnificent some of his
throws from the field being phenomenal He
was credited with three assists.

NOTES.
New Haven today.
Both Maloney and Mccoy are lame
Baltimore made hits and errors to II hits
and errors yesterday and yet won the game
Whistler is dead sure on badly thrown balls
He is playing first in wonderful shape. With
out doubt he is the best first baseman Wash
ington ever had.
Lynch is a strong man for Hartford's third
base. He made three hits yesterday, one of
which was over the fence, but owing to new
ground rule which places certain limit on
home-run hits. he made but one base on it.
Manager Durham of the New Haveps
thinks that the Baltimores will be a big draw
Barnie will not have a walk-over for the pen
nant. He says that Newark and Worcester will
give Baltimore hard struggle to beat them
Philadelphia Inquire.
Has Hartford been moderated or Washing
ton overrated? Both, perhaps.
All of the base ball crowds are dropping
except in the Atlantic Association. In Boston
the League had 800 and the Brotherhood $500
In Pittsburg the League game drew 400 and the
Players / 500.
Pitcher Stafford of Worcester held Whining
ton down to hits yesterday while, Smith was
batted for IL hits.
Buffalo leads the Players League.
special from Wilmington to the Baltimore

sltlon and management OF the Wilmington

known and capable base ball man. Strict dis
cipline will be enforced and general Innova-
tion will be made. Pitcher Hodson. late of the
Hamilton (Ont.) club, has signed with the Will
