Hamilton Team.

ministered trouneing to nine ball tossers hail
ing from the town of Hamilton, Ont, members
Of the International Association. The score
WAS II to - and the game was as thoroughly
old-fashioned in the way OF heavy batting as
any one could desire. Washington made IS
hits and Hamilton H. a total of 50 base hits and
90 bases. The home team won by virtue Of
better batting, aided by the loose fielding of
their opponents. Three errors constituted the
misplays of the Senators, one by Whistler, one
by Hill and another by Nicholas while the Ca
nadians failed with the ball seven times This
was remarkably good fielding in view of the
condition of the grounds, which were soft and
soggy from the rain of the day before. The
game was sharp and snappy. full of life, with
the Washington boys far in the lead. Capt.
Gleason yelled all the time, yelled at his
own base runners yelled at his pitcher. until
he got the visitors thoroughly deInoralized and
they began to kick. In Gleason, Jordan and
Nicholas he had able iieutenants in the yelling
business and the excitement which they in
fused into the game soon spread to the 400 or
so spectators who witnessed il. The batteries
were Maloney and Riddle Phillips and Nicho-
las and Spro8ell, Latouche and Roche.
