 The local team defeated Washington on the Howard avenue grounds yesterday after noon by score of 6 to 3 in one of the most interesting and exciting games that has been played here this season. The visitors took the lead in the first inning and held it until the ninth and then the home team came in and batted out five runs, four of them earn- ed, and settled the game beyond question.
 Gilliland was on the card to pitch, and when the cranks eaw this they shook their heads and called the turn on Washington. But an agreeable surprise was in store for them. Gilliland never put up such a game in his life before as he did yesterday, and had not the visitors been presented with their two runs in the first inning by the mis- plays of the home team, they would have been completely shut out. AS 1t was, the "Catamaran" was whole team in himself and pitched great game all through. He also brought in two runs by two-base hit in the last inning, which gave New Haven the lead.
 Underwood, the opposing pitcher, did good work and kept the home teams hits well scattered up to the fatal ninth. He was hit hard, however, as the out6elders had eleven put-outs, while not a sky-scraper was ga thered in by the New Haven outfield. The visitors put up good game in the field and showed themselves to be a live team by their coaching and sacrifice hitting, but they lost simply because they could not hit Gilliland.
 New Haven was the first to bat, and they were retired in one, two, three order. In their half the visitors tallied twice, but they never saw the plate afterward. Baeder hit a grounder to Cahill, which he fumbled, allow ing Gleason to reach first. The ball bounded away from Cahill, add Lang picked it up and threw to Hofford at the plate to head of Baeder, who was trying to score on the error. He had him dead if he had thrown 1t straight, but he threw wild, allowing him to score. Gleason reached second on the errors, went to third on Whistler's sacrifice, and scored on Lang's tumble of Birds grounder. The next two batters were easily retired.
 New Haven scored their first run in the third. Mckee reached first on balls. He was caught equarely off his base by the pitcher but that model first base man, Whist l6Es mdu0 d D0huUlIul uuu hHU Wuou tuc OniA was recovered Mckee was on second. Cahtll brought him aoross the plate by corking two-base hit over Jordan's head. Lynch hit liner into Birds hands and he shut Cahill of at second by pretty throw, making neat double and retiring the side.
 From this inning until the eighth the game progressed without any particular features, but the playing was sharp and the close score kept the 1, 500 spectators on pins and needles. In the eighth the visitors had a good chance to score but could not cross the plate. Underwood, the first man up, made the only clean hit the visitors obtained and reached first. Baeder's bunt sent him to second and put Baeder on first. Gleason flew ont to Doyle. Gilliland hit Whistler with the ball and filled the bases. Here is where Gilliland did great work. He caused Bird to fan the glorious breeze and all Jor- dan could do was to hit an easy grounder to Doyle, forcing out BaedeL
 When the next inning commenced 1t looked dubious for the home team. The visitors had the lead by score of to 1, and it looked as though New Haven's long string of victories would be broken at last. But victory came at the eleventh hour. and left New Haven still the leader in the race. Schoeneck opened the inning by flying out were numerous. Lally, the next man up, was called upon for a home run, and he replied with pretty single to left. Doyle followed suit, sending him to second and landing himself on first. Then the crowd breathed easier. Their hopes immediately fell, though, when Hofford popped up an easy one to Jordan. Everything then depended on Gill liland, who came to the bat. He came nobly to the rescue, and banged the ball into right field for two bags, fetching in Lally and Doyle and putting New Haven ahead. To say that the crowd yelled would be putting it mildly, for they screeched themselves hoarse. The fun, however, was not over. Lang was sent to first on balls and Mckee settled the game for fair by putting the horsehids over the right field l fence and bringing in Gilliland and Lang. The agony ended here, as Cahill flew out, but what matters; five runs had been scored -four of them earned. "Teddy" wept bitter tears of rage, and swore till the air was blue, but all to no purpose.
 Doyle's work at third was very brilliant and called forth much applause. He ac. cepted ten chances without an error, and made two pretty hits. Cox, the substitute umpire, did the best he could but he roasted both sides. Pettee went to New Britain Saturday, and as he telegraphed from there that he was sick, Cahill covered the base. The Score.
