Johnstown. Pa. July 22.-Johnstown and
Washington played a great game of ball
this afternoon. and but for few rnfor-
tunate errors BIZ the Johnstowns at critical
points. the score would have been tie.
Both clubs played srappy ball. and it kept
the visitors hustling to win. The fielding
at times was sharp and while Johnstown
made Only six hits off the deliveries of
Carsey. McFarlan. and Dinneen, they were
made at times when they figured in runs
On the whole it might be said that the
fielding of Johnstown was even better than
that Of Washington. for the National
Leaguers offered them harder chances.
Goff's throw from deep centre, catching
Duncan at the plate. Murphy's fuperb
catching. and Ro5inson's catch of a short
