Not many admirers OF the national game
were present at Island Park yesterday
afternoon TO witness for the second time tho
crossing OF bats between the Old Dominions
and the Nirginias, but those who did 90 saw
fine game in many respects. Throughout
it was we'll fought battle for
both sides, and though the Dominion
men were much the better players, the Vir.
ginas showed up at times excellently well.

whether it was made by Nirginfan or Do
minion man.
TWO PLAYERS SHORT.
Captain Cullen was short two Of his best
players, one Of whom is Lucke, but he has
his remaining men in such excellent trim
that one can easily imagine some ofthe PLAYS
made are being done by professionals. Uar-
rison hOnOrcd the score card as the best
batter for the Cullentes, and he kept up in
a splendid style his reputation. He handled
the stick with considerable dexterity, and
at the second bag added more laurels 10 his
cOrOnet.
Lunsden. the spirited short-stOp. covered
great deal Of ground, but the NITgnias
were not playing for batting records. and.
as consequence, he had but little work TO
do. Whenever, however, Cullen sent a
liner 10 second, he was there TO get ii, and
he got il every time.
PITCHER APPLICABLE.
Applegate pitched a splendid game, and
his opponents found him harder to hit than
keeie would have been. With labOriOus
efforts they got three clean hits OFF him,
but as general thing "shOrt to
first" or "third to first" was
the result Of any Of the Nirginias handling
of the ash. Cullen backed Applegate very
well indeed. His usual position is at first
base, but as some of his men were away he
was forced 10 play catcher, and this he did
with great deal of credit. At times he
did not show the amount of good judgment
necessary for a fine catcher, but usually
wlen the bali reached him it stopped.
HARDEST WORKED MAN.
LatOuche was the hardest worked man on
the team. Eighteen Of the Yirginias met
their fate ut the first base, and the first one
TO cross was by an error of LatOuche's. The
ball struck HIM on the thumb, making a
considerable bruise, but later he forgot the
fact III his eagerncss to put men out at his
bag. At the bat he also did excellent ser
vice, scoring double the number of runs Of
any man on his team. There was very little
work for the outfelders, but they took every
chance, and in one way or another added
to the victory for their team.
THE vIRGINiAs.
sydnor, the captain Of the Virginias,
missed greatly one Of his best men i'm YES
terday's game. BY some unavoidable rea-
son Kahn could not play. and though his
place was admirably well filled by Enright,
kain's batting prOcliyities would have
shown in excellent effect. Captain Svdnor
worked hard and earnestly to secure vie
tory for his opponents banner. but his out
helders gave him but little good supporting
As a catcher, Sydnor did fine work, and
held Deane down in many instances. The
latter was quite wild at times in his deliv-
cry, but his curves were great deceiyers to
the batters.
HatdOrf, at first did splendid work. and
helped his team considerably in relieving
the Darkness Of the score, while Leitwich
at third rendered what aid he could i'm the
Of the same end.
As whole il was an interesting game
Devoid Of any brilliant plays, it was far
above the average amateur production. and
the people present were well repaid for any
trouble or expense they had incurred in
seeing It.
