game. The Pbiladelphias are, however,
eutitled to the distinguished consideration
of every genuine rooter in Washington, as
they defeated Brooklyn IN easy fashion.

Baltimore had no trouble in trouncing tie
New Yorks Louisville again triuniphed
over the Spiders, aud came closer to their
rivals for last place, as Pittsburg was

The cool weather seems to strengthen the
right arni of Jack Suvetts, and the Gun

yesterday afternoon at National Park. The
Senators JAILED to hit aim opportunely, and
Is result the BostOns won the second game
OF tbeseries.
Mechanics, who has blossomed into Il
regular Lacquer, went up in The air in the
third inning. and IL is rumored that he re-

His unsteadiness had a denloraliZing
influence on the other members of the team
and MCGuirc, in the fourth, patterned after
the twirler, making wild throw to
second, which resulted in two runs.
Timothy Hurst, may, perhaps, be blamed
sappling. He was plateblind, and never
gave the young man the corners. When
Jimmy did put them over hits and runs fol-
lowed. With all his bad work, he struck out
five men.
DeMontreville seems to be imbued with
the idea Of scorchirE since he won the
bicycle contest. He went into O'Brien's
territory and baked Johnny in fielding
Longs grounder. This stupidness was
primarily responsible for two Iuns. They
were the first Duffy's Darlings made, but
it gave them encouragement, and they
never tagged after that.
BROWNS BAD ERROR.
Tom Brown lost a golden opportunity to
laurelize himself. McGann hit a terrific
swipe into left center, and the Kentucky y
gold bug sped away to capture it. He
seemed regular two year-old on the
run, but when he turned to catch the ball
the siniIe fails. He didn't exhibit horse
sense. One run had scored and the elon-
gated successor to Tommy Lowe was on
second.

Billie Lush, lost his head and permitted

fashion. The blonde right fielder lobbed

Yeager's hit close to the ground near the
foul line. The German fell as he caught
the ball. His heels went up in the air
and he rolled over, but he had DEATH
like grip on the sphere. 1t was the third
man out and the crowd went wild.
He was the next batter up, and as he
gathered dhimselftogethe and came trotting
to the plate the 3,7OO people stood up
and applauded him. He deserved it but
hit weak one to Long.
Smith had but single chance, ard it
was hot one at that. Long sent swift
one down toward DeMontreville. The
Doctor was on the 60 and he caught
the ball with his left hand. The batter
was near first, but lightning throw re-
tired him.
Farrell was again called upon to wrest
victory from the opposing team, but the
Duke of L street was not equal to the
occasion this time. Hamilton made u

third double the visitors made, and it gave
