more Yesterday.

The base ball grounds at Capitol Park yester-
day morning looked like old times, and not .
few among the 2, 500 present sighed for the
days efore the war (base ball war;, when the
familiar voice of King Kel or the Ansonian kick
ing of old Arson kept the crowd excited. But
little need be said of the game. Our boys lost
it, 124 by going to pieces in the fourth inning
and allowing Baltimore to score eight runs

Townshend we're the opposing batteries. Wash
ington made hits and errors, Baltimore 10
hits and 4 error. Valentine umpired to the dis
satisfaction of ALL
