 WASHINGTON, April 25.-Rain prevented the game yesterday afternoon between Wash. ington and New Haven. If pleasant the teams | will play this afternoon. Doran and Hofford | will form the battery for New Haven and . | good game may be expected. New Haven will probably retrieve it's somewhat fallen | fortunes by turning the tables on the Capital players.
 The New Haven team has 70 far played four games and lost three of them, and perhaps the enthusiasts at home are satisfied that the ball team representing their city is out- classed. But let word or two be said in public in better light. Commencing with the first game they have bean severely used by the umpirss. Both Valentine and Corco. ran have ''rossted" them numerically in the four games that the team have played. Yesterdsys game was nothing more nor less than given to Washington by Umpire Cerooran. It was III bQ0 blAtA AhuAhk tAhb t30 I80A 0WC4eAun was made. Washington was ct the bat, with one man out. no runs and three men,:on | the bases. Jordan, who was at the bat, hit | terrific liner over second base. LAlly was playing way out, but he made grand run in | for the ball and caught it about foot from the ground. He Immediately threw the ball to Doyle at third. who touched the by rights retiring the side. But Oorcoran said no. This rattled the players and they made one or two bad throws, and that along with two or three hits, base on balls and | two wild pitches netted seven runs before the side was retired.
 New Haven scored two after that and Washington one, and the score at the close of the game should have been to in favor of New Haven instead of 11-5, the other way. This little incident may give New Haven people some little idea of the way thoir ball team is being treated by the um- pires. Even the cranks at the game missed Corcoran for his decision, and that ought to show whether the man was out or not, esa pecially when 1t is taken into consideration that the attendants at the games here are some of the meanest in the association. The Washington team is composed of not | the best ball players in the league. When Lang was on second base yesterday trying to work his way to third Gleason, the Washing ton'shortstop,, picked up handfuls of dirt and | was called to it, but no good did 1t do. An- other incident was the ordering of one of the players by the captain of the league to give the New Haven base.runners the foot when they tried to steal base. The game was full of breaks of this kind by the Washington team and this team will continue to make them so long as they are not stopped in 1t.
 Sneaks entered the Harris house and stole an overcoat from one of the men and hat from Petit. Several bats at the grounds were also stolen from the players and sharp eye has to be kept on everything in general else 1t will suddenly disappear.
 But to return, it might also be stated that Corcoran, the umpire, has such cold that it Is impossible for him to speak above 2 whisper and has to have his decisions called out by another man. Gilmore. the Wash ington pitcher, is at present officiating in that capacity. The games arc called 4:SO and Corcoran called the game yesterday after not being asked to by any one in the eighth inning.
 1 Notes.
 The grounds here in Washington are in 6 terrible condition.
 Schoeneck has lost thirteen pounds since April 1. He now weighs 240.
 The weather is beautiful and has braced the boys up wonderfully. The trees are all leaved out and everything has the appear ance of summer.
 Gilliland has had very easy time 80 far on the trip. He has not pitched game but there is work in store for him when the team reaches Wilmington.
 There are two ball teams stopping here in Washington at present at the Harris house, the Hartford and the New Haven teams. Hartford leaves here for Baltimore at 10:30 this morning, after capturing two out of the three games from the "Senators."
 The Baltimore players were nearly orazsd with joy on account of winning yesterday 's game New Haven outbatted them two to one and had the game dead easy when it was thrown away in the eighth inning. Baltimore won it simply by luck and the Yankees from Connecticut showed them that they knew thing or two about the game.
 The ball players all went out this morn- ing to see the siRhts. Petit hired . safety bicycle and skimmed around the city, look ing in the public buildings, etc. "Big Lou" Schoeneck was seen on Pennsylvania ave- nue gliding along all by his Lonesome" on a tricycle.. The rest of the team went round to the different places of sightseeing and amusement
