AN EASY VICTORY,
How the Washingtons Annihilated the
Team From Jersey City.

The game Of ball at Atlantic Park yesterday
was farce, but strange to say, the farce Of it
was on the part of the visiting team. Jersey
City's aggregation played the worst sort of q
game and consequently lost to the Senators to
the tune of II to 1. The home club had the
easiest sort of time. All the men had to do
was to touch the ball with the bat and scamper
to first the chances being three to one in favor
Of their getting there safely on somebody's
tumble. The Statesmen played winning ball,
in sharp contrast to their opponents, and they
usually reinforced the error making by
clever hitting. Bader, Whistler and
O'Brien pounded the ball hard and
often. The batteries were Phillips and Riddle,
ana MeDermott and Murphy and Roussey and
Dowd. Phillips was in fine form. keeping the
hits scattered except in the fourth when three
singles in succession yielded the visitors their
Dermott in the third. but very wild,
although the hits became less frequent. Glea-
son hurt his hand late in the game and was
replaced at short by Bird, Underwood going to
left in the latter's place. Washington scored
ten runs before the Gladiators could get man
over the plate, and the game after the fourth
was procession with little Or no interest
