The Washington team put up snappy,
lively game yesterday and defeated Boston, 6
TO 4, in prettiy played contest which was
witnessed by about /, 500 people, II the locals
had given similar exhibitions during the first
two days OF the week there would have been
upwards of 1000 present. There is nothing
more tickle than a baseball audience, and it
dwindles or Increases as the quality Of ball
warrants. Yesterdays game was one which
would have ticl,led the sporting palates of
big holiday crowd. and the home players
would have received an ovation for their
really clever work. Pitcher Maui would have
been the idol of the hour, us to his great work
in the points and his timely stick work more
than half the credit of the victory is due.
But not Maui alone came in for share OF
the laurels as Hassamear nd.Radford showed
up strongly at the bat and aided in the run
getting. joyce. Cartwright, Abbey and Sell
bach ielded in fine shape, Selbachs two
errors being more than atoned for by bis sub
sequent effective work. Abbey caught seven
flies in left and assisted once on put out.
He missed a long fly from Longs bat in the
second inning, which cost run. jim Nc
Guire caught in excellent style, made the first
hit and first run for Was shington, and put out
the last Boston batsman.
With the record OF seven victories out Of
nine games played the champion Bostons an
ticipated another yesterday, and for six in
nings everything Noked lovely for them.
Then there came a change. and the home
team proved to be strong at rally, and their
persistence gave the champs somewhat OF a
case Of rattles, as Stivetts let down. while his
support weakened just enough to give Wash
ington the opportunity to go to the front,
where they remained to the end.
1t was a game repiete with brilliant fielding,
and several sensational fly catches were
made by the fielders. Hugh Duffy and Nc
Carthy killed apparent safe drives by Nc
Guire and Hassamaer, while Tebeau pulled
down long fly from McCarthy's bat after
good run. Radford had but one chance in
the field which lucky Paul gathered in right
in the teeth of the sun. proving Radford TO
be the original man not afraid OF his shadow.
Timothy Hurst had been secured TO ofiiciate
as umpire by President Young. and he got
through the ordeal without any trouble.
There was necessarily some little kicking
from both sides. but Tim didn't mind il and
everything passed off quietly. Boston lost
the game because of being outbatted and go
ing to pieces in the seventh inning. But four
singles were made off Maui, and no two came
in any one inning. But for bases on balls
and q few errors the visitors would have been
for ten hits and earned three of their six
runs.

the first ball pitched safely to left. Long
reached his first OF balls and Duffy attempted
to sacrifice, but forced Lowe at third. Nc
Carthy flied to Left making two out. Long

to Selbach, the latter making poor return of
the ball. Nash was thrown out at first by

but Tebeau was hard to please. and reached
first on balls. Maui coming to the rescue with
a rattlng double to left center. sending in
Mcclure and Hassamaer. Tebeau tried to
reach the plate also, but was caught.
From the third up to the seventh inning the
game was hotly contested, the twirling being
clever and the fielding of unusual merit. In
the fourth. fifth. sixth and seventh innings
not a Bostonian reached first base. while in
the eighth and ninth the visitors could not get
as far as second. For Washington Radford
