story OF the defeat.

that a ball game has ever been

game, considering the weather
conditions, was well played, and
proved that both teams are in very
good condition for this season of
the year. Shaw seemed to be par
ticularly affected by the chill, and
did not pitch up to his usual form,
his control being far from his
standard.
Nationals Lead Till Fifth.
The Nationals had what seemed to be a
comfortable lead until the fifth. when the
locals went ahead. Some lucky hitting
had given the visitors brace of tallies i'll
the second. and this was an advantage
which the Reds found hard to overcome.
But in the fifth Shaw's wildness proved
disastrous. for it was followed by couple

for the Reds first run, SO that the scor-
