Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1891-06-30

Once more it was a case of weak batting. and
the National ball team fell down by the wayside
with the BOstons as conquerors. The score was
seven to two. Boston making four runs in the
first inning that gave them n sure thing on VIC
tory. The batteries were Foreman and Nc
CURE and Buffin ton and Murphy. The Bos-
tons were in their element and stole bases with
perfect lmpunity, so that the game was alto
gether onesided, notwithstanding the compare
lively small score. The four runs in the first
by Boston were made by a sprint hit by Brown,
base on balls to Joyce, an error by Hatfield in
not putting his foot on the bag when Alvord
threw to him to catch Joyce on Duffy's bunt.
Brown was forced in when BrOuthers was hit,
McGeachy hit for n base and Murphy sacri-
feed Another run by Boston in the third put
the score i've to nothing, but Washington
broke the coat OF whitew by scoring one in
the fourth safe hits by Murphy and Dowd
and grounder by Hines to Brouthers. Dowd
WIS put out at the plate. In Che fifth Hatfield
made a two-bagger and scored when two men
were out on a wild throw by Joyce to first in
the seventh Brown went to first on balls and
Duffy made a home run hit over the fence.
Washington made hits and errors, and
Boston 10 hits and 2 errors.

errors than the Athletics yesterday in Philadel-

the Athletics and made one put out. Ciphers
are opposite his name in every other column.
Capt. Comskey CRASHED his teeth after the
st. Louis-COlumbus game yesterday. He tried
a new catcher in the eighth inning after win
ming. Neal, his pitcher, slowed down to ac-
commodate the new banner. Then the buckeyes
went IN and pounded out ten runs in the two
innings, and won by one run.
The Giants had a snap on Clarkson yesterday
at New York. They hit him hard and earned
most Of their runs. The Boston players seemed
to be demoralized. The feature of the game
was double play unassisted by BrodIe. He
made running catch of Ewing's fly over
second and ran on to second base before Bas-
sett could get back there. John Ewing was
batted freely at times, but was effective at the
critical stages.
The Clevelands and Reds played a close and
exciting game yesterday at Cincinnati that
created great enthusiasm among the 900 spec
tators. In the fourth inning Latham lined out
a three-bagger and scored on Holidays sacri-
fee. The visitors tied the score in their half
OF the same inning by clever base running.
There were no more runs until the eleventh
inning. when Radbourn and Harrington scored
