WASHINGTON vs.. 7, NJ, G, A.

The Y. NJ. c. A. nine Of this city has not met
any Of the crack amateur mines and conse-
quently were il-prepared to face professional
team. 1t was therefore q certainty that they
would be badly beaten yesterday by the Wash
ingtons. They were weakened by the absence
OF Fuller and Sanford, and Eddie johnson
did not arrive in time to cover third in the fatal
first inning. Outside of the first. when Pitcher
HolbroOk had a case of the frights and his sup
port was equally nervous, the association boys
played rather a creditable game. The nine can
hardly be classed as a crack amateur team.
1t has yet to prove its merit. After it has de-
feated the Boston A. A. nine, A. c. g. N nine.
the New Jersey Athletics and few of that class
1t can look on itself as first-class team In the
meantime, however it is the best amateur nine
in the city. The Washingtons had twelve men
In the game at different times, Irwin play
ing at short couple Of innings, taking young
Myers place. Score: Washingtons, 81; Y. NJ.
C. A.. 2.
As foretold in The STAR, Myers and Fitz-
gerald, the two crack amateur players of the Y
NJ. Z. G.. were given trial, and both showed
up very well. Myers telded his position well,
taking in ball in deep left and batting we'll.
But the feature Of the day was the fine showing
made by young Fitzgerald. The few hits (fise)
that we're made with professional players be-
hind him would have all been outs. The catcher.
OHagan, could not hold him, and let in o
couple of runs on passed balls. As it was, the
four innings that he pitched the Washingtons
made only Ave runs After the first inning the
Washingtons did not attempt to hit Holbrook,
but they tried to hit Fitzgerald all the way
through. and from the exhibition he gave it was
the impression that he is one of the best anna
teur pitchers of the season. He has plenty of
nerve, speed and several good curves Manager
Irwin highly complimented him on his work in
the box.
