THE new HHvEgS DEFEAT WASHINGTON
Horner Pitched a Great Game---0nly Two
hits We're Maie--To Play
by Electric Light

New Haven took a game from Wash
ington IN The most hollow style i'm.
aginable yesterday. Horner proved an
enigma 10 the Washington batlers and
only two hits were made of him. Dan.
els likewise pitched a good game, ex.
cepi in ole inning when the Connecll.
cut men solved his delivery and batted
bis curves for iour runs. Wentz. Hill
and Bader made bad errors that con
.tribuied very much to the increase Of
the New Haven's score. To-day the
same clubs play and Underwood aud
Doran will be pitled against each other.
TO PLAY by ELECTRIC LIGHT.
There is a movement on foot 10 have
The Washington Club play an exhibi.
ton game some night next week by
electric and calcium lights. The sue
cess of the enterprise In Hartford some
days ago and the novelty Of the idea
ought 10 be sufficient to attract large
crowd to Capitol Park Enough lights
will be used to make good playing
possible. As soon rs the arrangements
are concluded the date Of the game will
be announced
LEBANON CONES IN.
President Braden of the Atlantic As
sociation sent telegram 10 baseball
headquarters yesterday afternoon,
stating that Lebanon, Pa, had been
admitted in WorcCster's place, and that
the new team would play its first game
at Baltimore to-day. While the Hart.
lords have been on a shakv financial
basis all the season Il Is said the present
outlook for the team Is good enough TO
warrant a retention Of is franchise. II
was evidently necessary to act quickly
after Worcester's disbandment, as one
club would be compelled to remain idle
so long as the circuit consisted OF seven
cities. All the other clubs except Hart.
ford have declared their intention to
remain In the Association until the
close OF the season, no matter what
losses they might sustain. The New
Haven team Is the only one Of the
original eight which has made any
money, but all the others, except Hart
ford, arc heavily backed and can afford
to continue until September 30, Ia the
hope OF improving their fortunes.
Lebanon Is the county scat OF a
county bearing the same name Ia the
southeastern part Of Pennsylvania, and
is said 10 have population OF about
200. The people are very fond OF
hss1 ball, and according to the accounts
The attendance at the Lebanon games
this year has been larger than that in
many Of the cities In the circuit. The
owners Of the club are wealthy men, and
they bad TO pay price for admission
into the Atlantic circuit
They also gave a guarantee that their |
club would continue 10 play until the |
close Of the season. The same players /
who represented the city In the Inter.
state League have been retained. |
Among them are Rogers, first base; Me |
Galley, second base and catcher |
Graham, mind base, Gross. shortstop /
Gill, llasncy and Snyder, ouldelders. |
Price and Swift, pitchers, and Grau. |
llCh, catcher. swift Is the eX EAstOn |
Iitcher whom Manager Barnie was re- |
ported TO have signed. aud Hasney |
played with the Wilmingtons early Ia /
The season. AiCCaIrey was the crack /
catcher OF the Richmond Club 10 the
spring, but jumped his contract when
his former club was playing 10 Pennsyl-
vania
The team Is described as an excellent
one for 50 small a city, but no judgment
can be formed Of II until il has been
measured alongside some Of the big At
laniic clubs. Many changes will have
10 be made IA the new schedule In or
der 10 provide for Lebanon unless Il Is
placed In the northern circuit with /
Worcester. IL Is supposed that the AZ.
lanlic managers will determine while
they are together the disposal OF the
w oIcesler players. They can be held
BY the Association for a period Of ten
days II deCired, provided the board Of
arbitration Is disposed 10 be friendly.
The WoTcesteTs have lost Catcher vii
son, Short stop Lang, Pitcher BuTkett
and OuttieldeTs Lyons and SCheiller
since last season, and II Is supposed the
people missed the old favoriles so that
they held back in attendance.
The Lebanons play in Baltimore to-
lay. They will take up the record Of
games won and lost by Worcester,
TLich puts them In fourth place.
