TWO AT A TINE.
How the Washingtons Defeated the Bal
timore Ball Tossers.


Three games were played in the Atlantic As
ISOLATION championship race yesterday, Wash
ington. with remarkable modesty, taking but
two Of them. The readers of The STAR have
already learned how the Senators downed the
Wilmington team. The score WAS 6 to o. Later
in the afternoon they turned their attention to
the Baltimore team. The Orioles, burning
with impotence to show the Senators that
they-the Senators-were not in the race with
them-the Orioles-s.ubbed their toes very Sc
vereiy and fell PROSTATE to the tune Of to 8.
Washington won hands down, but the game
was very snappy one. Luck was all on the
side Of the homo team, the visitors playing
very poor ball at times, mufing like amateurs
at the most inopportune moments The game
was witnessed by over 1850 people. Phillips
and Riddle and German and Townsend were
the batteries. Phillips did his usual good work,
keeping the rather frequent hits Of the oppos-
ing team well scattered. In the first inning
Baltimore made two scores on three hits,
sacrlnce and tumble by Gleason. Baltimore
paid up FOR this temporary advantage by going
all to pieces in the second, while the States
men took advantage Of the Generalization
to score five times, winning the game.
Ihenceforth the game was sharp enough. In
the third inning a run resulted for Washing
ton. In the sixth Power hit for two bases, q
man was given first on balls and Hill made a
low throw to Whistler, one run scoring for
Baltimore. This was offset in the seventh by
Whistlers remarkable hit over Longs head for
four bases, the ball going clear into the corner
Of the fence. The last run Of the game was
made in the eighth, when Hill gave Henry a
fly to muf and Phillips and Riddle made
singlea Washington made 2 hits and errors
and Baltimore hits and errors. Valentine
umpired.
