Boston, May 4.-Stocksdale was import
ed from Washington especially TO win the
game OF to-day, and Manager schmelz was
very confident before the game that his
boys would redeem themselves from the
bad showing made the previous day.
stocksdale did his part all right, but
his fellows did not bat even a little bit,
and Wilson was even more effective
against them than he had been in Wash
ington, and hut three hits did they getin the
last seven innings off him.
He really out-pitched his rival. The
Boston did the harder hitting, but up-to-
date playing would not have allowed the
Bostons as many runs az they got 10y two
at least. Joyce lost his head in lie third
inning and threw TO first when he should
have thrown home and thereby saved two
runs.
Etocksdale's fielding was a treat and
McGuire's catching was up TO mark ard he
twice nailed Duffy trying TO steal sec
ond. Cartwright got a record OF two
stolen bases.
Lowe helped Boston win the game by
his great one handed stop in the seventh,
which was a hair-raiser From WASH
ington standpoint it should have gone as
base hit, but il resulted in a double play.
Billy Nash did tire best hitting for the
home team, and Tucker and Mccarthy did
good work III this respect.
FINE FIELDING.
The day was exceedingly warm for this
time OF year, and the attendance was about
5000 Both sides drew blanks in the
first, fine fielding being the order of the day.
Crooks and Joyce gave Lowe and Long
easy chances on ground balls. Abbey
had three balls and no strikes, but was
forced 10 hit the bail, and sent hugh foul
10 Ryan.
Stocksdale opened the game for his
side by a great one-handed stop off Lowe,
that met with deserved applause Longs
effort was finely fielded by Crooks back
OF second, and Joyce handled Dufry's
ball in clever style.
Washington took the lead in the second
on Selhach's base on balls, hits by HASA
maer ana Mcclure. and Collins tumble
Nicho lson forced Mcguire and worked
around 10 third, but stocksdale left him,
striking out.
For Boston, Nash made a hit, but got no
farther than second
Although Joyce and Abbey got bases on
balls with one out, in the third, no men
were scored The former was thrown
out trying for third on a passed bail.
Boston went out IN order on three pitched
balls on grounders 10 Joyce, Nicholson, and
Cartwright, Nicholson's play being very
pretty.
LONG WAS HURT.
In the fourth Hassamer got two lives.
First Collins muffed his fly, and then
Long had the BAH Knocked out OF his
hands on its return. Long was so hurt
that time had to be called. Play being re-
sumed, "BilI' was caught on McGuire's
ball and run down. That stopped all
chances Of scoring, with one out for Bos-
ton. Duffy hit cleanly, but was beauti-
fully thrown out by McGuire to Crooks
Mccarthy followed with single to ceuter,
but Nash was out to seIbach.
After banking Washington in the fifth
Boston took the lead through very poor
work Of the visitors. Tucker made hit.
and Collins and Ryan got bases on balls,
filling the bases. Wilson hit TO Crooks,
and double play should have been easy,
but Nicholson threw poorly, giving a life,
while Tucker scored Lowe hit to Joyce,
who got all tangled up.
His play should have been to throw home
as be had plenty of time, but he made
q dash for third, thinking there was some
one to force, whereas there. was no one.
When be came to his senses Collins had
scored the tieing run, but Lowe was out at
first, Wilson taking second. Long bit
safely, Wilson scored, and Boston was one
ahead.
Wsshington's sixth was a blank, only
four men going to bat, Long giving Nc
GUire a life by bad throw, with two out.
Boston also sent but four men
TO bat. With one out Nash
earned his base and died trying to steal.
Tucker got first on balls and was left
MADE A SUPERB ONE.
Keefe gave Washington hard deal in
the seventh when he decided Nicholson
out at second, he having reached first
on balls and gone to second on stocksdale's
grounder to Tucker Lowe then made
superb one-hand stop off Crooks that re-
suited in a double play and sent Boston
70 the bat to be retired for blank.
The eighth was another goose egg for
Washington. Selbach made a safe drive
with two out and was left on Hassanler's
out TO Duffy For Boston Duffy was safe
on a hot drive 10 Nicholson and was out
trying 10 steal. Mccarthy hit safely and
Nash followed with a double fuckers
high bounder just reached the ends OF
Cartwrght's fingers, two men scoring.
This ended the run getting for the game
