YESTERDAYS DAME.

close call for victory yesterday and put up a
STYLE of ball playing that startled ths crowd.
The game was won BY Washington by the score
of ITO 3, b1s no one felt at all safe until the
las. man had been put out in the ninth inning,
especially as the next 10 the last man had made
.hree-base nit 1t clean, sharp game,
full Of good plays and without any long de-
laws There could not be any stronger contrast
tlaa between IL and The games with St. Louis,
which. though close and interesting, were slow
aid long drawn out. Umpire Davis made
mistake in ordering Catcher Vaughn out OF
the game and then allowing him TO remain
His decisions base plays had strong
Washington tendency. which, though 1t WAS
very gratifying TO the crowd, was unsatisfac-
tory to impartial observers.

OLD r.voEI-Es.
Old-time Dalrymple was in left and he did
sorle sharp work that opened the eyes of those
who once thought that lie was a back number.
Curtis was also clever in his work and Murphy
did his best. and that is a very good sort of
ball playing, NGrphy's best. Mcclure was the
only outielder who did poorly, and his worst
act WAS TO run under fly that he should have

McGClre went to hrst on balls In the first

double play between Hatfield and McCauley
prevented him from doing any damage to the

THE ICE WAS BROKEN
by Milwaukee who went to bat first, in the
fourth inning. Burke, Dalrymple and Cana
van each hit for a base and one run
was scored On the last hit Hatfeld's
muh let Caravan get to second, but Dali
rympie was held at third. No one out and
things looked blue for Carsey and the club.
The next man was kind enough to be fooled by
the curves. and he sat down. Dalrymple be-
came a trlte too careless, and at a sign from
Sutclife Carsey shot the ball over to Alvord,
who managed to touch Dial on the calf OF his
leg. and Davis called him out. There was a
kick. but it did no good. This put a better
complexion on things, and the next man at the
bat was disheartened, so he put up a fiy for

Washington requited this piece Of kindness
on the part OF the visitors by going out in or
