ming. Thereafter the Nationals, until
the ninth inning, never had any sort
of a. chance to score.
According to the official count, 1880
enthusiasts, encouraged by slightly
warmer weather, were present when the
game began. Pfeister, the left-handed
pitcher, went into the box for the Ma
1ionals His control at first was good,
but by no means perfect. He quickly
steadled, however, and pitched superbly
until the sixth inning. 1t was here he
went to pieces and the game was lost.

mercy, apparently growing stronger and
steadier every inning. When the game
began the Nationals swung viciously at
