90. Games Today.
New York at Washington.
Cincinnati at Cleveland.

By winning yesterdays game Washington
has as much right to ninth as Brooklyn, as
the Trolley Dodgers lost to Boston. Balti
nIure won its twelfth game from Philadel-
phia, the Quakers being the only team in
the league to lose all OF the SERIES They
also have the distinction OF being the only
club from which louisville won the series.
Scrappy Joyce and his erstwhile Giants
bit the dust yesterday afternoon at Ma
tioual Park. The North Carolina twirler
was Oh the rubber for the Statesmen, and
DO Senator pitched his voice to d higher
key than did James McJames cavort his
strong right arm. Only in two innings was
he hit safely, and they were SO far apart
that 10 serious injury could result. Only
three safe hits were made by the visitors.
Twilight came upon the game in pleas
ing time, ana Umpire Lynch was as
prompt III calling game" as he was the
day before. The Senators, however, were
far in the lead, and none save Scrappy
Bill protested.
With the score standing to / in the
seventh in favor of the home team, Mr..
Lynch called the game. He did il with as
much uDconcern as he would Call Anson
out on close decision, and in the latter
business he is the duke Of many cities.
Michael Angelo Sullivan, who as a Sen
dtOi IDS III Vic stuluE CldSS, essd GU
to do the pitching for New York, and while
lie was steady atall times he was hit freely.
Farrell had him on his staff and four times
lie hit safely. DeMontreville and Selbach
also had his speed to Dicety and the
Frenchman and the German each had an
even 500 per cent at the bat.
TOM BROWNS FIELDING! A FEATURE.
Tom Brown was in the game from field
ing standpoint and it seemed that the
veteran OF many games had tasted the
elixir OF youth. This transformation was
a gratifying revelation to his friends
among the audience, which numbered nearly
$500 thoroughbred patrons. He was the
Lush of Monday.
There were other Statesmen in the game.
DeMontreville was Kellar in his business
and his capture of StaffOrd's line ny over
second base in the seventh was in keeping
with the wizard production OF roses from
a vase OF paper. 1t was marvellous.
DR.. Smith had an excellent chance to
display his greatness in great game of
ball. and the Little Boy Blue" was
prime favorite from the first 10 the con-
Guiding inning. He caught two foul flies
and captured Scrappys apparently safe
hit In the fourth, which seemed TO electrify
the crowd. In an endeavOr to complete
double play 1le was given an error, Cart
wright losing the ball and the runner ON
u. IL
run, however.
THE ELIXIR WAS DOPED.
If the Giants drank from the same
fountain yesterday as they did on Mon
day some one must have doped the elixir,
for they were drowsy and inactive. In
the second Cartwright made a dash for
second and Warner threw accurately to
the bag but there was no Gleason or Davis
there to receive the ball. These two young
men excused themselves on the score tn at
there were others.
Davis work was the feature of the
Giants fielding, but he was run to a head
finish by Nike Sullivan, who put up u
stiff game i'll assisting grouuders, and at
one time he caught Farrell mapping by a
sharp throw to Beckley, the latter passing
the ball to Davis, who was covering sec
ond. 1t was regular Oriole work and the
veterans on the New York team rubbed
their arms and seemed young again.
That genuine and consistent rooter for
the New Yorks, o. B. Caylor, came down
from the city of many souls and tried his
best to enthuse the visitors. He brought
the order from Mr.. Freedman to Mr.. joyce
that the postponed game in New York
should be played today. For this
grateful lot of cranks extended to him
their most distinguished considerations.
ONE RUN BY THE GIANTS.
No artist could have painted a face
beaming with confidence like that of Van
Haltren's when he went to the bat in the
first inning. His every action was clipper,
but he fell an easy victim to the German
Ambassador in left field. Tiernan made
