CLUBS AND PLAYERS.
About two thousand people saw q tedious
| game of ball yesterday between the two ends
of the league, which was won by the Boston
end by the score of 10 to on the strength Of
more effective batting. The contest was full
| of bad plays, each side seeming to try to Guido
the other in the line of error-making. Honors
were about even in this respect, and the victory
went to Boston because the Beaneaters hit the
ball, with all their bad playing, while the rank
ness of the home team not relieved by that
sort of work. The batteries were Person and
DAILY and Madden and Bennett, the former
proving surprisingly ineffective, while 1.-THE Kid
was a terror to the Senator's, and had he been
properly supported would have shut them out
The home team was somewhat reconstructed
on account of Madden's being a left-handed
pitcher, Beecher playing left and Mack right.
Clarke also took Arthur Twins place at short
on account of the latter's slight indisposition.
Sam Wise was about the only man on the home
team who played the proper sort of game.
Mack 8 work in right was up to his old stand
ard Richardson, who put up such remark
did some very poor work. The error-making
seemed epidemic and it was not strange that
Person lost his head as he did.
THE RUNS.
The visitors scored runs in the first inning
Brown hit safely and stole second After Wise
had made good stop of Kelly's smasher and
thrown the King out at first, which advanced
Brown to third, Mack brought the run in on an
infield hit DAILY dropping the ball. couple

other error by DAILY gave two more runs,
| Smith finally flying out to Mack. The home
team got run in the third, when, with Person
out, Hoy went to first on balls and was sent to
third on Richardson's error on Mack's ball.
Mack stole second in a minute, and on Ben
| nett's throw down Hoy dashed home. In this
! inning Wise executed a neat double play.
Brouthers had hit safely and Richardson hit
bounder to Sam, who corralled the big man in
the alley and then threw to first in time to
| catch Richardson.
TEMPORARILY IN THE LEAD.
For few minutes in the fifth the crowd en-
joyed the experience of the home teams
leading, the Senators scoring three runs. Hoy
was hit by the ball and Mack and Beecher each
hit safely, and this, with a passed ball. let in
two runs. Then Beecher scored ON Clarkes
out from Richardson to Brouthers. John
Irwin went to first on balls and stole second,
| stealing third also just as DAILY struck out the
third man. The men from the Hub. however,
pushed ahead in their half of the inning on
Browns base on balls and single hits by Kelly
and Nash, which Melted two runs. Nash was
dancing around second when a hot liner came
from Richardson's bat straight into the hands
of Clarke, who tossed it to second for a double
The visitors clinched their lead in the sixth on
hit by Johnston and errors by Carney and
Irwin, one run resulting.
THE SEVENTH WAS THE WATERLOO,
Person being batted out of the box. Kelly
| reached first on balls, but was caught mapping
soon after and thrown out, to his great disgust
Then Nash, Brouthers, Richardson and john
ston hit safely, the next step being an error by
Carney, stolen base, base ON balls to Ben
nett, and Madden's single. Four runs resulted
from five hits, two bases on balls, an error and
stolen base. The Beaneaters did not score
any more runs after this, mainly because they
did not need any more.
Sullivan took Persons place in the eighth
and prevented any scoring, Kelly making a
hit His delivery is peculiar and some
OF his motions are awkward, but he
fools the batsmen in a rather unique
style by his combinations of curves He looks
little like John Tener of Chicago. The home
team made feeble squirt in the ninth and sue
ceeded In reducing the lead of the visitors by
two runs. Hoy, who had been hit or given
bases on balls the other four times he went to
bat. succeeded in hitting safely within the
diamond. Then Mack lined out a single and

struck out, but Bennett missed the third strike
and on the throw out at first Mack scored.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD
Boston still has a comfortable hold on the
lead, having reached the half hundreth victory.
New York is pulling hard to overtake the Bean
eaters, but lacks per cent of tie while PhIla-
| delphia is still struggling for one of the first
two places. There has been no improvement in
| the play of the Infants and they are sliding
! down to meet Arson. who is making a sprint to
catch the leaders. He is ahead of the second
division, with fair prospects of overtaking
Cleveland very soon. Pittsburg has taken an
other tumble, while indianapolis and Washing
| ton are playing great ball, the Hoosiers trying
| to keep out of the way of the Senator's who are
making noble effort to shake themselves out
of the last hole.
This is the record as it stood after yesterdays
| games:
