NATIONALS NOT IN IT.
THEY PLAYED A VERY LIFELESs
GAME AGAINST THE BosToNs.
The Team Evidently in Need of a Ginger
Diet-The Entertainment for the Re-
gatta Fund-General Sporting and
Athletic Gossip of the Week.

There was painful lack of enthusiasm at
afternoon, and the cry OF "Glory, Glory,
Glory" did not cheer the players on to deeds
of valor. Secretary Foster and his private
secretary, Robert j. Wynne, came up in "Airy
Csstle' and squeezed hard for the local boys.
But even this did not avail and the men went
about their playing in a perfunctory way that
showed they were beaten before the first ball
was pitched. There Is more truth than poetry
in this, for previous to the beginning Of the
game certain players OF the Nationals were
heard to say to Manager Irwin that he ought
to be ashamed Of his action in putting his
best battery against the home club, when on
Friday in Baltimore he placed weaker one,
Haddock laughed when he heard this and
said the Nationals were his pie, and then
when the game commenced he put up his best
pitching delivery. The Nationals, while
playing this lack-of-interest game, also had
luck against them, as every one of their
errors counted, while every ball batted by
them rather considerably took an easy bound
There is wide difference in the playing of
the teams, the Bostons always going in and
from the field on dog trot, while the home
club go out to their places in a canal-horse
walk, as If afraid to get up a sweat. More
snap and vim are needed and until they
get it they will play dreary ball. Haddock
and Carsey were in the points and honors
about evenly divided, both filing their posi-
tions in a manner creditable to themselves.
The infield of the Nationals had very little to
do. In fact, the infield work on both sides
was small, Stricken alone having any consid-
erable work to do. The batting OF Lohman
was splendid, he making two three-baggers,
one in the ninth inning bringing in two runs.
There Is no need to give a fuller description
OF the game. The score tells it better.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-06-14
More life is needed in the team.

More life is needed In the team.
Dowd's presence inspires confidence.
The coaching of Alvord is decided treat.
The services of "Pop' Smith are no more.
Kidd Millers arm has regained its cunning.
Bakeley has been given permanent ticket
of lease.
Manager Snyder will please administer
ginger to the men.
Mcguire insists that Miller is a great
pitcher when in shape.
Dunlap is now moving about and outside
his lameness looks first rate.
Beecher is playing ball like Beecher. He is
away from the disorganizers.
The Athletics seemed to be about the size of
our Nationals. In fact, they are pie for the
locals.
The Nationals still retain the services of
Quarles as they think there is something in
the boy.
Lawrence Patrick Murphy, the new DELEGATE
from the Ninth District, fills the bill in most
acceptable ma nner.
Haddock is great favorite here and Is always
welcomed by large crowd of admirers, both
male and female
benches of the bleachers. 1t is certainly a
cheering cry for the home boys.
Alvord, the new third baseman, faces every
thing that goes his way and shows great
judgment in handling hard hits.
Some thirty-odd trees were removed from
the field during the absence of the team and
the change makes the field larger and prettier.
The team is playing with considerably
more ginger since they were here last and
their improvement is a good showing for
Manager Snyder.
Mr.. Jacob Morse, of the Boston Herald, and
Mr.. Ridgely, of the Globe of that city, are W ith
the Bostons on the present trip. Both are
able men and highly esteemed by the fraternity.
Phil King, the celebrated third-baseman of
the Princeton College team, will return home
on Monday and will take up his position on
the q. A. c. team. He will add strength to
the team.
The games for the present week are as
follows: Monday, Bostons; Tuesday, Wednes-
day, and Thursday, Baltimores. On Friday
and Saturday the Nationals will play in
Baltimore.
The grounds are in beautiful shape and
to-day equal any in America. The bulletin
board has been removed to the deep centre
field and is somewhat difficult for bleared-
eyed man to read.
Kerwin's umpiring is good, but the idiots
who continually bawl after him do not
believe so. There is about ten disgruntled
bootblacks who come to every game and cause
all the hooting against the umpire. They should
be fired out of the grounds, as they make it
disagreeable for respectable people.
The American Association has determined
on policy of aggressiveness against the
clubs of the national agreement, and to that
end will commence signing any players under
the ban they can secure To say the least, the
policy is a bad one, detrimental to honest
ballplaying, and can only work injury to the
game. 1t is to be hoped the Nationals will not be
guilty of stealing, for 1t were better to be for
ever tail-enders than to be guilty of ques-
tionable act. The League is now in secret
conference and they will retaliate in like
manner. They are rich and powerful, the
Association young and poor. What can the
result be but disaster to the Association
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-06-14

Mr.. Arthur O'Neill has resigned the man
agement of the Duponts While filling Il at
position Mr.. O'Neill brought considerable
credit to the popular organization.
Happy Charley Loefller is now looking after
the fortunes of the w. l.. Infantry boys, vice
Mr.. Hayes. Charley is hustler, and if sue
cess can come he is the one that can bring it.
The Columbias. by defeating the Potomacs
and Y. NJ. G. A. last week, secured lead in
the District League race that the other clubs
cannot overcome. They therefore are virtu-
ally in possession of the championship.
The Potomacs have secured good player in
Kelliher, who, as first baseman of the Hoys,
led the District clubs. He is batter of the
best order, and will surely strengthen the Po-
tomacs. ..,laE
Sprigman, of the c. A. c., played the great
est game at short-field last Tuesday ever seen
in this city. He was like mountain, and
stopped what under ordinary circumstances
would have been safe hits.
The w. l.. Infantry and Duponts played a
great game on Tuesday last, the former win
ming by a score of l too. 1t was a model
contest and Wise and Thornburgh were in the
best condition, as only total of five hits were
made in the game. 1t was a game replete with
good plays.
The thanks of the Columbia and Potomac
Athletic Clubs are certainly due to the direc-
tors of the National Base Ball Club for their
interest in fixing up their grounds on Tuesday
in order that the teams might play there. 1t
was an act of generosity that the two clubs
should appreciate.
