Boston at New York.

The Senators again shut out their op-
ponents Yesterday at National Park, there
by establishing a record for the Washing
ton club; not only for 1897, but covering
previous years OF baseball N this city.
Dr. McJames was on the rubber, and al
though the Rooklyns hit him for nine
hits, phenomenal fielding saved the home
team from defeat.
The outnelders disposed Of one-third
of the Trolley Dodgers, and some Of the
chances while not difficult were cut of the
ordinary. The infielders. however, were
sensational in their work. DeMontrevflle
took one off Shindle's bat which the
batsnan did not want to hit, the ball
striking his hat while he was dodgfng a
Wild pitch, and threw the runner out.
The eplayelIdted much applause.
Little Wngley on two occasions simply
"eat the ball up" and sent il sailing
into fuckers hands. O'Brien's only as
sist was II hard one, but the pace set by
the others made him fast and accurate
Farreil's only error was bad throw To
second. on which the runner advanced
20 third, bot he remained there, Selhach
takinE Griffins long fly to left center
which looked safe.
Michael Angelo Griffin dropped Brown
high fly In the first and his carelessneSs
had n depressing effect upon the whole
nine. Thomas went to second Oh the
error and scored on DeAfontreville's single.
the latter, while trying to steal second,
coming in contact with the ball
O'Brien smashed one Of Kennedy's under
ann curves along the left field foul line
for two hases In the second, but weak
hitting followed an d the reJuvenated
baseman died on the second sack. He,
however, made two singles after that
and was h;t once.
Capt. Brown opened the third with
clean double and came cantering home on
DeMontreville' single to right.
After two men were retired in the
sixth Farrell sent a three-bagger into
right center, but Tucker was unequal to
C. the occasion and was an easy out az
first with Shindle's assist.
In the seventh O'Brien and Abbey singled,
butno one could score, as sharp fielding as
the order OF the day
DeAfontreviIle started the eighth with
single and went TO third on Farren's drive
for q base, and on a tumble by shoch De
MOntreville scored, but the Brooklyn
flelcer got bis man at first.
Germany Smith was cheered to the echo
In the fourth when he sprinted over second
and grabbed Abbey's safe bit with his left
hand ahd in a twinkle tossed it TO Sboch,
forcing o'Brien at second. 1t was a mar
vicious play.
Tnc story OF how the Rrooklyns did not
score cannot help but be interesting read
Ing 10 the thousands OF rooters who were
not present, but who every morning read
The Times before they partake OF their
morning meal.
The first inning was brief, as Jones was
Bn easy out to Tucker from wrigley
Griffin was given pass, and when, in
moment OF conceit, he tried to steal
second, he was encountered with the
BAH iu DeMontreville's hands shindIe
was thrown out by wrigley in a hair
raising finish.
Shoch drove out a two-bagger in the
second, after Anderson and A Smith had
been retired, but BTrilfs fly TO selbach
was easily taken.
Tom Brown disposed OF Kennedy and G.
Smith ta the third, and after Jones singled
and stole second, going to third on Far
relrs bad throw, Griffin went out to Sell
bach.
shindle frightened the hopes OF the
Brooklyns in the fourth by singing to
left and stealing second. Brown, Demon

oCts on the three next batters.
