 New Haven dropped tho first game of the series to the Washington team yesterday afternoon at the Howard avenue grounds by score of 5 to 4 It was an exciting game all through and WAS only decided after ten innings of hard play. Fully 2,000 people witnessed the contest and made themselves heard in the ninth inning when Whistler dropped thrown ball and Lang came home with the run that made the score 4-3 in New Haven's favor. But alas, the joy was short lived, for the visitors tied the score in their half and then in the next in- ming they scored once again, win the game by rank, very rank, errors and 1t seems too bad that after such 6 magnia- cent game that Horner pitched they would not support him half way decent. Errors by Mckee and Lang gave the cranks on the bleachers a severe pain, and comments were freely made on leaving the grounds that so many games have been lost by errors in the | AASANeSA himself proud, and no pitcher in this aeso- citation could have pitched better game than he did yesterday. He did not give man his base on balls and made eight of the visitors fan the wind. Whistler made Q homo run off him in the first inning by putting the ball over the right field fence, and fetching man in with him. But Horner showed him that 1t was all mistake by striking him out the next two times. It is too bad that Hor- ner pitches in such hard luck and the team ought to brace up and play ball. Surely they should place just as much confidence in Horner az in Doran. It is honestly hoped that no more games of the present Washing l ton series will be lost as yesterdays game | by good ball playing please the large number 1 of people who go to see them play and who have backed the team up so handsomely 50 | far this season.
