Record of the Clubs.

The Boston club players realized that
they needed yesterdays game with the
Washingtons to continue in first place,
and result batted and fielded in cham
pfonshfp style the score being 8 to 0 in
their favor.
Mercer was on the rubber for the Sen
ators. and for four innings his delivery was
a puzzle to the Beaneaters. but thereafter
the bats of the home club connected with
startling regularity with the handsome
boys delivery, Stahl and Duffy, particu-
larly, fancying the slow ball. Sixteen safe
hts is not a record to be proud of, but
the best of twirlers will have their off
days, and besides the fielding back of Win
ME might have been better.
The college boy, Lewis, was on the rub
Der for the Bcstons, and the way he pulled
off his game was eye-opener for those
who pretend to believe that this man Is IN
the second class of pitchers. Lewis held
the Washingtons down to three safeties.
Setback getting two of them and Tom
Brown the other. This pitcher treated the
heavy-hitting New Yorks to almost as bad
a dose recently. SO that the local fans can
not register much of a kick on their clubs
hitting yesterday.
A hard luck and lamentable feature of
yesterdays game was the injury inflicted
on Herman Long by one of MERGERS speedy
liant shortstop on the wrist of his right
hand. and II IS reported that several of the
small bones were broken. If this should
prove to be true the BoStons might as we'll
throw up their hands so far as the cham
pionship race is concerned, as the work of
Long will be missed and prove to be too
great handicap to overcome.
Neither side scored in the first inning,
but in the second the Bostons rushed
runner over the plate on Duffy's single to
left, sacrifice carrying him to second, an
error by Brown landing him on third, and
he scored on the throw down to second
that OBrien returned wild to the catcher.
In the fifth the Beaneaters Tailed four
times. After Tenney had been retired by
De Mont, Stahl hit safely to right, and on
Abbeys error, Long, who had reached first
on balls, scored and Stahl went to third.
Duffy, Collins and Lowe followed with safe
hits, and when the smoke cleared away
four runs had been chalked up. In the
sixth two additional tallies We're added to
the Boston's score. Hamilton made a hit
and went to third on Tenney's single and
home on Stahfs safe one to right. A double
steal was then tried for and on Wrigley's
error Tenney crossed the plate. In the
eighth inning the last run went up for the
Rostons. making eight in ALL After two
hands were out, Allen hit safe one into
left, and went to second on Wrigley's wild
throw. Duffy then soaked a good one into
left and Allen came home.
1t was blank after blank for the SEN
ators, not man reaching third base until
the eighth inning, but even then a tally
was prevented. Setback opened up with a
nice two-bagger and Brown got his first on
safe hit into left. that fooled Selbach,
Duffy making difficult catch and doubling
the little German at second base. The
bases were filled after these two outs, but
o Brien failed to come to the rescue, going
out on an easy fly to Lowe at second.

Barriere waived a hearing. but Prosecu-
tor Shillington, acting for Mr.. Mullowny,
asked Judge Kimball if he did not wish to
hear the statement of the complaining
witness. and, upon his asserting. the little
girl took the stand.
Miss Grady told Judge Kimball in a very
lew tone OF voice that she was fifteen
years of age last January, and that the

ago Scon after she was fifteen years old
she said Barriere began TO make improper
proposals to Der, and having belief in his
assertions that there would be nothing
wrong If she yielded to his opportunities,
she did so.
The Illicit relations then entered into. she
said, we're kept up. until the result is that
she is now far advanced in pregnancy
BarrIere. she said. had tried to have an
abortion produced.
Judge Kimta announced after examin-
ing the law on the subject. that 1t was
clear the accused had, according to the
testimony OF Miss Grady, violated the age

heavy bond. The prisoner was unable
