National League.
A GREAT GAME.

terday afternoon just in time to help the
Nationals TO game. 1t struck hard and it did
Its work in so short time that the breath of
the l,6OO spectators was almost taken away.
Four singles and a triple constituted its
strength and it netted four earned runs that
were badly needed The score of the game was
3 To z, and 1t WAS as neat a contest as any one
would want to see. Columbus fought hard for
the victory, and did not give up until the last man
was out in the ninth, when a man was waiting
on third to score the tying run, but it was no
USE The batteries were Freeman and Mcguire
and knell and Dowse. Both men were wilder
than usual. giving men first on balls with start
ling frequency. Freeman shaved his chances
OF success pretty close toward the end OF the
game by putting four men on first in this way
but he braced up at the RICH. time. As it was
the game was won nv a hair breadth. and
every one breathed easier wen Hatfield gripped
the grounder from McTamanys bat in the wee
end of the ninth and put it to first in time to
catch the runner and shut of the run that was
speeding to the plate.
THE SCORES.
Both teams scored in the first. Washington
twice on . base on balls to Lohman-who
played in left for Murphy, who was lila sacri-
fee by Dowd an error by Sneed on Hatfield's
hy, and another sacrifice by Slattery followed
up BY two-bagger by Mcclure, VINO came to
grief in trying to stretch into q triple. Column
bus made three Crooks received the gift OF II
base from Freeman and another on a wild
pitch, and Sneed, McTamany and Dowse hit for
a base each McIamsny was put out at the
plate when kuehne hit to Freeman. but Nc
CURE, trying to catch kuehne at first, threw a
little wild and McQuery, after he had made
good stop Of the ball with biz big glove, could
not find it. While he was gazing in all direc-
tons blu. the right one Dow-e scored. but Free
man ran over to the bag and picked up the
ball in time to put it to the plate and rob
Wheelock Of q run.
N THE SECOND.
Though McQuery hit for base and Avord
was given first on an error by Crooks, NO runs
were scored in the second. In the third after
one was out Hatfield hit for a base and stole
being put to third by Wheelock's error. but he
was caught at the plate when he tried to score
on Slattery's run down to second.
Washington pulled ahead in the fourth max
ing two runs. Daily went to first on balls and
Alvord hit the ball SO hard that it rested
against a tree i'll left field and the runner
rested ON third Freeman went to first on balls
and Dowd made = sacrifice hit to left, scoring
Alvord.
Columbus tied the tally in the fifth Knell
was given first and Crooks sacrificed, pitcher
to first. After Duffee had flied to Dowd Sneed
hit along the left line for base and Knen
scored.
THE LUCKY SEVENTH.
The seventh was enough to give a Washing
tonian the heart disease. Dowd came near max
ing safe one between Crooks and Leblanc, and
Hatfield did better, making his base. Slattery
famed second with q safe one, Mcclure put
another into center aud McQuery banged the
bali to the right fence for three bases. Three
runs were scored and but one was out. Daily
gave huehne an easy grounder and NcQuery
was held while Daily put out. Alvord who
was hitting the ball vicously, satisfied the crowd
by Inning one out over second for q sure base,
and he made two when McIamany let the ball
go by him. Thus four runs were earned. Free
man waited for four bad balls. but Alvord fool
ishly tried to steal third on the fourth one and
was thrown out.
THE BUCKEYES RALLY.
Then Columbus began to pull ont and make
runs. One resulted in the eighth inning from
two bases on balls and safe hit by Dowse. 1t
was great luck that kthey did not make more
In the ninth, after Washington had gone out in
order, the visitors made two and came within
an ace of tying the score. Leblanc WAS given
his base and Daily muffed Knells fly. Crooks
sent ball out to center that looked safe but
Slattery saved the day by making great run
and nabbing it. Duffeh put ball straight up
which Mcclure gobbled. Sueed was at the bat
He found the bail in a bard spot and sent il
humming to the right fence for three bases.
Two runs were scored and Big McTsmany
was facing the pitcher with blood in his eve
and the game Was won.
Washington made IL hits and errors and
Columbus . hits and errors.
