A CLEAN RECORD.
Not y Game to the Credit Of the Senators on
the Trip.

Fine fielding does not always win ball games
and Yesterdays game in Boston was direct
proof of this fact. for, although the Statesmen
PLAYED beautifully in the field they had the
hard luck to be once more poweriess ut the bat
when the time came for hits, and the result
was that Boston won by the score of Z to 4.
The weather was very cold. and the crowd
numbered but 600 Indeed the Nationals are
not a very heavy drawing card at the Hub now
that they have fallen victims SO many times.
The batteries we're Mace and Mcclure and
O'Brien and Farrell. Mace is the young man
who pitched here last wear when the team was
in the Atlantic Association. and who not
altogether an unquaiified success in the box on
account mainly. OF an enlarged Uranium. Yes
terday he did remarkably well in the game
pitching evenly and effectively until the
seventh inning when he lost his head and gave
five bases ON balls. which, together with a
rifice and the only error which the Senators
made, a wild throw by Hatfield. Melted three
runs for the beaneaters Smith took his place at
third. not ut short. as il Was rumored he would,
and played perfectly. accepting four chances
and making a single and a donble hit and two

HOW THE SCORES WERE MADE
Washington scored in the first inning on a
hit by HATFIELD and a steal and then good
single by Dowd. There we're no more runs
made until the fifth inning. when Boston made
two a safe hit by OBrien and q smasher by
Brown, which proved to be a home run. owing
to allow handling by Burns. The seventh gave
the home team three runs and lead of four,
which the Senators cut down by one in their
half on a double by Smith and a single by Hat
field. No runs resulted in the eighth, but each
side scored twice in the ninth. Brown hit for
two bases and stole third Duffy made hit
al.
In the latter half Smith hit for n base and
Mace sacrificed. Farrell then threw the ball
over the head of Stricken in an effort to catch
Mcclure mapping, he having in the meantime
gone to first on balls and to second on the sac
rifice. Smith scored ON this throw and Nc
CURE Tailed on hit by Burns
Washington made II hits and error and
Boston hits and errors. Thus even better
batting. well as better fielding was not
enough to make them win. There is hoodoo
over the team on this trip.
