YESrEupAY's DEFEAT.

Washington club from defeat by the Boston
visitors yesterday unless it had como before the
game was started. for the homo team was
headed from the start, and no amount OF re-
turning to previous innings wonld have awaited.
The fault lay largely in the unavailing efforts
OF Young Mr.. Carsey. who was in the box for
Washington, "a against those Of older Mr.. Buff
linton. who posed and twisted and writhed in
the same locality for Boston. 1t was an odd
freak OF managerial Judgment on the part of
shrewd Mr.. Irwin to put Buff in the box vice in
succession. but 1t was surely justifiable for he
was quite as effective yesterday as he was the
day before. The score WIS 6 to in favor of
Boston after part of the sixth inning had been
deducted so rs 70 bring the contest down TO an
even finish. This nccessitated by the COM
ing of a large and well-dey eioped rain storm
from the south, which threatened a long time
before it broke. IL came with such All intent
ness. however, that it took Mr.. Davis. the TIM
pIre. only about half "a minute to SEQ the ncces-
sity for adjournment and he waved k:s large
right hand and called the eighteen in from
the field
THE oANE.
Washington had gone out in order in the
first and Mr. Brown had been retired for Bos-
ton, when diminutive Mr.. Duffy. of Boston for
the time being banged the bell in such way
that 1t plowed a furrow through all Of the
Washington team that i'll It's path. 1t went
out Of the reach of Mr.. Alvord and then went
on toward Mr.. Slattery. who s,ayed to stop it.
He evidently was not accustomed to such work.
for he failed utterly in his effort. and his next
door neighbOr, Mr.. Griffin, was obliged TO run
| the sphere down and corral it. He did so after
I a brief but exciting interval. but III the mcan-
time fleet Mr.. Duffy had squared the circle, or
| circied the square. and Was over the rubber.
| 1t was not a home run, but it counted just rs
| though ii had been.
| This one run at the start was a serious handi-
| cap on the efforts of the home PLAYERS. for
whatever they might do that one on the black
board doomed up twice as large as a run ever
| did before. and they were unable to duplicate
il for some time. In the second inning Mr.
Sutcliffe, who was attending to the hot end of
! Mr.. Carseys curves. hit for base. being given
| a close call through the unfriendly efforts of
Ny. Radford. who made a wonderful stop of
the hit. This burst of enthusiasm over the
game on the part OF the home club. however
was OF short service. for the next man went
ont and as there had been two out before Mr.
Sutcliffe hit the ball the side retired. Mr..
McQuery saved his brother at third from bad
error on the throw OF grounder from the bat
OF Mr. Murphy of Boston. and after Mr.. Muir
\ ply of Washington had caught Mr.. Richard

J spot in left was beautifully hauled down by Mr.

\ visitors from adding to their score. With one
out on a fly to short, Mr.. Radford hit for a
| base past third. but he and Mr.. Brown were
| Inundated when the latter put a Srounder mo
| the hands of Mr.. Dowd and both were retired.
| In the fourth after one was out an error by
4 short gave Mr.. Dowd bese, but he and Mr..
S.attery were cut off in their careers by neat
double play that need not have been made. Mr..
/ DOwd. who had stolen second as the ball was
HIT going on TO third. only to be captured by
| a throw across the diamond by the knock
| kneed giant on first.
/ Washington gave Boston the same dose in
i the latter half. Mr.. Duffy hit to center for
base and Mr.. McGeachy, thinking to sacrifice,
/ sent snake-like ball into the infeld that bad
70 be scored rs q hit. sacrifice by Mr..
4 Brouthers i'll front of the plate sent Mr. Duffy
to third. but the little man not satisfied
with one base and he was chagrined to be put
/ out at home.
The early part of the fifth was to the liking
! Of the spectators but the latter half was far
/ from being joy producer Mr.. Shsnnon's
| good eve saved him from hitting and he went
| to first on balls and to second when a ball
\ passed the catcher scoring when Mr. Sutcliffe
i smashed the sphere out to right for base.
/ Mr. Sutciife. in order to be that his cap
tain might score, allowed himself to be run
! down between second and first. and that was
| the end Of the scoring for Washington.

an easy chance, but he threw high and Mr..
l Richardson was safe. Mr.. Buffinton poked u
hole in gathering clouds and the bah came
1 back into the hands OF the big first baseman on
/ the home side. Little Mr.. Stricken waited for
four bad balls and Mr.. Radford hit past third
for a base, while Mr.. Brown put up . high one
| that drifted with the wind SO that the right
fielder. who went after it, had to run away
over into the center garden and then did not
make connections with the ball. All doubts OF
the game were dispelled at this Juno

third baseman for four bases. Mr Stat

one out to right safely. Mr.. Murphy of Boston

diyniicd gymnastics in order to get the ball to
Mr. Carsey. who was there in his place. The
