How the Nationals Lost the Second Game
With the Baltim0res.

The Statesmen had hard luck yesterday in
their game against Baltimore, which was lost to
the visitors by the score Of to 4. In the first
inning Dunlap fell while running between third
and home and not only was put out, but broke
his leg and laid up for some weeks at least, if
not for the season. Then the absence of Paul
Hines on account Of the death Of his father
seemed to help to disintegrate the team work.
although his place was well filed by Hart. The
pitching of Bakely was ragged, and, taken alto
gether, it was rather hard experience for the
home team. The batteries were Bakely and
Mcclure and Mcmahon and Robinson. Both
teams hit the ball hard and the field work was
quite good on both sides. Baltimore, however,
seemed to have the good fortune Of getting in
hits when they counted and won easily, being
never headed. Seven innings were played be-
fore the umpire, Mr.. Jones, came to the con-
clusion that it was too dark for further play.
The game was in strong contrast to the one
played on Saturday. 1t was long drawn out
and tiresome. Less than eight innings were
played, yet it was nearly O'Clock when the
game was called, owing to darkness. Hun
dreds failed to wait until then, all interest in
the result having been given up. Early in the
game, when 1t was seen that Baltimore would
have a walk-over Bakely, who was in the box
for Washington. proved an exceedingly easy
mark for the visitors. who pounded him almost
at will. Their hits. by innings, were: 4, 4, l. 8,
o. D. PA The pounding became so terrific
that the occupants of the bleachers howled for
another pitcher. The Nationals made enough
hits to win game ordinarily, but the hits were
scattered SO as to avail little. They ran through
the game thus: 2, q 0, 1, 3, 1. Iii.
The most unfortunate incident of the game
was the injury to Dunlap. In the first inning

after examining his leg carried him from the
field. He had broken one of the bones in his

the diamond. His loss will be felt severely.
In fact it was felt at once yesterday, for there
after all snap seemed to leave the team, and for
three innings they couldn't touch the ball.
