Hines was the only Washington player given
chance yesterday who didn't tumble. muff or
throw the ball wildly. The exhibition given by
/ the home team would have dsgraced any one
| of the crack amateur nInes of the District.
| Doubtless the club treasury is richer today by
! an assessment on each Of the eight players.
A description Of the game would be as weari-
| some as the contest itself. 1t is enough to say
that the Bostons played all around Washington
and won as they liked. Dowd opened the farce
by fumbling Joyce's grounder in the first. Lob
| man helped ii along by his high throwing to
| second, and the performance was merrily sus-
| tanned until the visitors had collected 10 tai
lies-the whole Senatorial aggregation. except
Hines, contributing to the enjoyment of the
spectators. For Washington Murphy opened
the game promisingly by taking first on balls,
going to third on sacrifice hits and scoring on
a wild pitch. Washington failed to score again
until the sixth inning when the Bostons be-
came careless and made no exertion to stop the
| run-getting. When it was seen that the game
was hopelessly lost Carsey was taken out of the
box and Quarles sent in for practice He got
| it. Haddock for Boston also retired and Buff
vent in to have fun with our boys.
The game at Baltimore yesterday was well
played, and only by a fortunate punching Of
their hits did the Orioles roll up such a score.
In the second two singles and two wo-baggers
gave four runs, while a home run by Van Hal
tren, with two men on bases. helped TO swell
the score later on. The fielding of both teams
was clean and a number of pretty plays were
made.
Almost exciting game was won from the Co
lumbus yesterday in Cincinnati. For six in
nings Cincinnati had a good lead, but in the
| seventh Columbus tied the score. No more
runs were made until the ninth inning. when
with two men bases Seery made a two
Dagger, winning the game for the home team.
The Porkopolitans wound up the series with
the Phillies by taking four straight games. The
| contest yesterday at Philadelphia was close and
| exciting. Rhines kept the Phillies hits scat
tered-the four they made. The home team
| made the customary shift in pitchers but
Gleason couldn't save them. While the visitors
| made more errors than the home club their
large majority of hits pulled them through

The Champions" Brooklyns) yesterday
| consecutive time. In the eighth inning
the visitors could have tied the score
with some good base running. Two
meE were thrown out at the plate in that
inning. Griffin and Tom DAILY carried off the
fielding honors for the home club. while Ward
and DAILY led at the bat. The Spiders. as per
rule Of late, went to pieces at critical stages of
the game.
The '.Beaneaters'' hit Gumbert's delivery
very hard yesterday in Boston. The Windy
City" boys also hit Staley rather freely at
times. but the almost perfect support he re-
ceived held them down. The visitors fielding
was Of the rsnkest order. The features Of the
game were the fielding Of Long, Stovey and
Brodie and the batting Of Lowe Lowe made
four singles a double and a home run out of
six times at bat.
Mark Baldwin started to pitch for the Pitts
burgs yesterday in New York but was in verv
bad form and retired at the end of the third
inning In favor of King. Mack also re-
iieved behind the bat by Fields. In the second
inning Baldwin gave six men their base on
balls, forcing two runs for the Giants, and he
was hit hard enough for them to make three
more In the same inning. The visitors could
not touch Sharrott On account of lame
shoulder he retired at the end of the sixth
inning in favor of Rusie. Rusie also kept the
smoky City boys guessing.
The Sunday base ball cases in Cincinnati yes
terday took a new turn. The attorney for the
