Johnny Priest. the Washingtonian,

TOMORROW-Open.
Baltimore and Ohio and Southern
played in a close game yesterday, the
Baltimore and Ohio team holding the
lead until the fifth inning. when the
Southerners made three runs.
The game was quite a surprise to the
fans as the Southern railroad has had
an easy time with the Baltimore and
Ohio men on each of the previous meet
inSs, but they were pushed to win from
them yesterday.
Holbruner played the best fielding
game. accepting his eight chances with
out miscue, many Of which were diff
ficult to handle.
Smith made two pretty catches in CEN
ter field for the Baltimore and Ohio
team; on the second one he managed
to get the ball to Wollett before F.
Thompson could return TO the base,
thereby completing a double.
Thayer again proved his ability to
pitch. having the Southern men guess
ing all the time to solve his peculiar de-
livery.
The twirling of Young was also COM
mendable. as this was the first game In
which he has pitched. Barnes was the
only man to secure more than one MT
off him.
Forest THOMPSON, on first base for the
Southerners, handled his eleven chances
without an error. and made pretty
stab of Wallis liner in the fifth with his
gloved hand.
This was the best game in which the
Baltimore and Ohio team has partlcl-
pated. and 1t is to be hoped that they
plav this kiEd of ball the rest OF the
games they have scheduled, in order
that the games might be more interest
