An Exhibition Game Between the Senator,
and Orioles-Other Base Ball News.
1t was q very cold day in Baltimore yester.
day when the two ball teams faced each Other
for an exhibition game, and the men could
hardly keep warm beneath their two sets Of
uniforms and their sweaters besides. 1t was
perhaps. shade colder for the Washington
side of the business, which had to take large
| dose of bitter medicine, the score being 16 to
in favor of Baltimore. The weather was so cold
that fine playing was almost an impossibility,
and it may be that the washingtonian errors,
which were largely the cause Of the defeat, can
be attributed to the cold and damp. The
Orioles outbatted and outfelded the visitors,
making IA hits and errors, while the Nationals
made IL hits and errors. At the start the
batteries were Bakely and Mcclure and Nc
Mahon and Robinson. These of1iciated for five
innings, when they were succeeded by Keefe
and Hart and Cunningham and Town
send. Baltimore made all of its runs and ten
of its hits off Bakely and four hits and no
runs off Keefe. Washington made three runs
and five hits off McMahon and four runs and
six hits off Cunningham. The Nationals batted
as follows: Hines, two singles; Beecher, one
two-bagger; Dunlap, single and q double;
vlsner, three singles McQuery, one single;
Mcclure, one two-bagger; Smalley, one single.
Beecher made an error and Smalley, Hatfield
and Bakely two errors apiece. Dunlap did the
prettiest work for Washington, with two put
outs and seven assists. Baltimore made six
runs in the second inning. one in the third,
seven in the fourth and two in the fifth. WASH
ington scored three in the third, two in the
sixth and one each in the seventh and eighth
