BOTH TEAMS PLAYED BADLY.


Washington Succmbs TO Brooklyn in a
Long Drawn Out Game.
Long drawn out and weary was the game
yesterday between Brooklyn and Washington
which was won by the former by the score Of
Is to 10. Poor pitching and weak fielding
marked the work OF both teams, but the visit
ors hit the ball Il little harder than the locals
and got away with the game. There were
over 1000 spectators, and the exhibition
given was decidedly below the League aver
age. As in Saturdays contest, both sides
were obliged to change pitchers. ard SO it
happened the task set young Egan of the
home club was too difficult to surmount.
Mercer started in to do the twirling for the
locals, but he was wild and ineffective and was
taken out of the game after the third inning,
when the Brooklyns had secured lead of
nine runs. Then Egan was substituted and
pitched fairly good ball, but his efforts were
unsuccessful in pulling the game out OF the
fire. The visitors practically collared the
victory in the third inning, when five singles
and three errors gave them six runs and re-

and but few oil the spectators retired from the
scene, as both teams were playing so badly
there was u hope the locals would get to the
'front.' Win rush, Inc BroOklynS presented
Daub again as the pitcher. and for four
innings he proved a stumbling block 70 any
run-getting. In the fifth he weakened and
the Senators piled up seven runs in the inning,
which gave an entirely new aspect TO the
game.
The crowd became interested. and Senator
Hill, who had escaped for the time being from
his duties at the Capitol in order TO witness
the game. expressed the hope that the Sena-
tors would win. but with all these encourag-
ing signs the home team would never get the
lead. In only two innings did the locals
tally. while the visitors had not much trouble
in pegglng away in five OF their eight times at
bat.
Hassamaer again attempted 10 cover right
field. but he failed to do 50 to his own or any
one else's satisfaction. He was troubled BY
the sun. and the absence of Radford was
mourned by many. Hessamaer showed up
all right at the bat, as his two singles came at
opportune times and aided in the scoring.
II Mcclure had remained in the game there
might have been different story TO tell. as
Dugdale failed to prove worthy substitute
either behind or at the bat.
The Brooklyns began the scoring in the see
ond inning. when they made three runs on rs
many bases on balls Daub's single. another
base on balls. and an out. In the third hits by

After worrying along for four innings with
out result the locals bumped themselves in
the fifth and gathered together seven full
grown scores. HassamRer started with a sin-
gle and SeIbach followed suit. Cartwright
filed to left. and Egans fly was taken into
camp by Burns. Ward got in IA single and
joyce was hit. Abbey worked a base on
balls. and Dugdae's grounder resulted in
DAILY fumbling the ball and FOutz Juggling
the throw. Sullivan happened along with a

inning with his fly to right.

tailed three additional in the eighth on Il
single by Shindle. Corcorans homer, Con
Dailey's base on balls. and Gastright's
double.
In the sixth, seventh and eighth the home
team had men left on bases. but the needed
hit was not forthcoming In the ninth Sell
bach was an easy out but Cartwright hit
safely and Egan flied to second Ward reached
his base on balls. and Capt. Joyce drove
long fly to deep right, which netted him n
clean home run, sending in Cartwright and
Ward ahead OF him. Abbey singled and
Dugdale was given life on Daly's muff. but
Sullivan ended the game by flying to center.
