HAD IT ALL THEIR OWN WAY.


Tho game between the Athletics and the
Nationals yesterday was not nearly ex-
citing as that of the day before. The
Philadelphians had 1t all their own way
from the start The final score was 10 to
4. and 1t was due to the wretched fielding
and weak hitting OF the Statesmen. When a
team makes more errors than base hits de-
feat IL almost sure to follow.
Carsey and Mcclure and Chamberlain and
MIliSan were the batteries. Every man on the
winning side hit the ball safely, but that was
not true by any means of the Senators. who
kept going out in order or getting to bases by
accident and then staying there until the Attn
Iofics had made six runs and were that much
ahead and then the visitors managed to make
one little tally.
There were three runs made in the first in
ning-not by the NatIonsls-two in the second
and one in the third. In this scramble the
Washington field WAS doing some ragged work,
and the hits were hard and frequent. In the
fourth Donovan made q single and scored when
Mcclure hit to left SO hard that the ball went
through Sanders Neither side scored in the
fifth, but In the six the Athletics made four on
some consecutive hitting, aided by poor play
Washington added two runs to her little COL
lection in the latter half of this inning. MUIR
ply was hit by pitched ball. Donovan made q
double and McCauley found the ball for one
base.

run was made by bases on balls to Hatfield
Carsey and Murphy and a sacrifice by Donovan.
The Athletics also scored one in tho eighth and
after that inning was over the umpire kindly
called the game.
Washington made hits and Z errors and the
Athletics IA hits and errors.
OTHER GAMES.
Louisville humbled the Browns by taking q
game on their own grounds, Z to 4. The hitting
on both sides was light, but Louisville played
the better game in the field. Meekin and
Cahill and McGill and Boyle were in the points.
The Colonies made hits and error aud the
Browns hits and errors.
Boston took game from Baltimore and thus
placed herself enough ahead of st. Louis to
| make it impossible for the latter team to catch
her even il the Browns were to win all and the
Beaneaters to lose all of the games remaining
this season. The score was 6 to 2 and the re-
suit was due largely to Baltimore's poor field
ing. The batteries were Haddock and Murphy
| and Madden and Robinson. The Orioles made
hits and errors and Boston 10 hits and 8
errors.

A tweive-club circuit is the latest talk about
the '92 season Of the association.
That estimate of four games on the trip to the
credit OF the Statesmen is yet to be realized.
There is nothing the matter with Gil Hat

and especially good enough for the company in
which he il travelling.
Charley Jones, once an umpire in the associ-
alton, Is occupying political position in New
York. Charley must have 'fuence. He may
make better functionary than an umpire,
but.

the only men Of the present team who will be
retained

terday by a score Of 8 to 0, according to a rul-
ing by Umpire McQuaid. In the eighth in
