and took his one chance easily besides making
a beautiful three-bagger in the second. when it
WAS badly needed. Slat;ery played in left and
dId poorly, making two errors Murphy kept
up his gait in right. Hatfield showed his best
form ut short. and Alvord could not have done
better. Dowd made two apparently impossible
catches of flies in center. but he fumbied Al ball

be scored.

HADDoCK IMPROVES.
Arthur Irwin came to the conclusion that
Haddock might possibly win the game if he
remained in the box and so that young man
kept on with his twirling and but two hits were
made off him during the remainder of the
game. Washngtons only hope was in keeping
Boston from scoring, but il was a vain hone

unanimity. and then they tied the score and
made enough in the eighth to win. Washing
ton had hard luck in the fourth. Duffy made
q remarkable catch of Foreman's fy and Muir
ply hit for a base. Dowd lifted long fy to

doubled ty Hatfield and McQuery. Brouthers
hit to right center for three bags and Dowd
made a marvellous catch OF Murphy's fly into
center.
