Washingtons yesterday and won out easily
by the score of to 1. The playing OF INC
two teams was exactly reverse to the game
on Wednesday, the Brownlegs putting up
perfect fielding game. while the locals oio
the error making, four misplays pelhs
charged against them. Nils two errors can
be excused on account Of his bad hand, put
Altizer and Anderson probably erreo
through over confidence on apparent easy
plays.
Mr. Glade was on the rubber lot inc
Browns. and he gave a splendid exhibition
of the pitching art. the Nationals being oh-
able to get their drives safe with men on
bases in all but the first inning, when their
solitary run WIS scored Glade struck one
only one batter, but he made the locals
hat the ball into the air, and there was
always a Brownie waiting to catch the pail
when 1t came down.
Smith Off Color.
Charley Smith. who was on the firing line
for the Nationals, got thro' Oh the hrst
four innings without run be ng placed 10
the credit of the visitors. although five hits
had been registered, but in the fifth he lost
his bearings and the bingles developed IN
rapid succession.
Notwithstanding Alters error, his play
ing was easily the feature Of the locars
game the tall short-stop gathering IN ten
out OF eleven chances In the third he jump
ed In the air and pulled down line ny
from Niles bat and doubled up hickey at
second after the latter had led on with
fine two-bagger. In the ninth Alt1Zer also
captured Tom Jones' fast roller back OF

throw to Hickman at first. Schlaf1y also
played brilliant game at second.

plate. Koehler also hit timely, his second
single scoring two runs.

hits, his first drive scoring the locals. only
run. and he was the leader with the stick.
The Nationals started off with so much
speed in their first inning that 1t looked
like another victory was to be scored. Mil
soaked the first ball that Glade pitched
over Stones head for double and Charley
Jones cleverly sacrificed him to third. Al
tizer followed with a clean single into CEN
