Although Hillary Swain did not save
Mondays game after German had made
a mess OF it, be slept well, and yesterday
afternoon he told Tom Brown he had ex-
ceuent control Of the ball. He started
the second game with the Bostons at
National Park, coming out victorious, with
only five hits against him, the score being
z to 3. In the two games he officiated
he was hit safely only nine times in fifteen
Innings, and of these over half were made
after chances were given 10 retire the
side. lie drove in an earned run by his
neat single in the sixth.
The visitors came very near destroying
the excellent reputation they are enjoy
ing for eentlemanly conduct on the field,
when the entire nine on the bench were
yelling with the hope Of disoonoerting the
long pitcher. But their efforts were futile,
as the buckeye twirler was steady at all
stages OF the game. His support was far
from perfect, and it was because of the err
rorsOf Abbey, wrigley and Mcclure the Bos-
tons scored as often rs they did. Lake
showed some Of ms Western League ruff
fianism when he kicked o'Brien while the
latter was taking a thrown bali from the
outfield.
Mcclure dropped an elegantly thrown
bali from SeIbacl in the seventh, on which
stahl would have been an easy out.
Wrigley was no, himself at any time during
the afternoon. He allowed several batted
balls 10 get away from hin, and failed to
play the base properly. The lad simply had
q case OF rattles in the first contest, and
carried his heedlessness into the second,
scoring a like number OF errors.
The Senator's hits came well together in
the second event, yet on two occasions a
hit would have made big difference in
the score in the fifth and sixth De
Montreville had an opportunity to drive in
runs, bet hefaIed. In the ninth, withnoone
out. however, he drove the leather far into
deep left center for home run.
Lewis pitched his club TO victory In the
first. and Happy Jack SWEETS as takenout

He was erratic and was hit freely, and in
the iniddl,of the sixth lac was taken out and
Nichols substituted after one run was
scored and three men on bases. The humor-
Gus pitcher went back TO center field. and
the star pitcher kept the same runners
where they were.
Hugh Duffy and his band of leaders were
unable to size up the giant statesman on
the rubber. Hillary, you can't pitch, -
yelled the stocky little fielder, but "Cy''
simply smiled and got off an Ohio joke
60 the effect that Hughey should never
open his mouth while the wind was blow
ing, as he would become inflated. When
the captain of the BeaneateTs came to the
bat in the ninth with the bases full Swain
put on extra steam, Mcclure steadying
him, and Hughey knocked a slow one to
DeMontreville. who threw to O'Brien and
put the last man out. Then "Cy'' threw
out his chest and DOTTED his hat in recog-
milton OF the applause of the three thou
sand spectators.
DR. McJames essayed 10 pitch in, the
first game. He was very wild, and OF
course he became easily exhausted be-
cause OF the numerous errors behind him.
DeMontreville put up fair article of ball
in the fielding line, although each of his
errors resulted in runs. He got Allen

and really saved several runs,
Stahrs batting was feature In the
first and his fielding In the second.
Tenney was a stone wall and his sprinting
abilities euabled him to make several
put outs. Bergen was a failure in center,
aud his error cost a run. Allen and Lowe
covered their usual territory and made
some wonderful stops and throws.
Mr.. John Heydler was the umpire in the
second game and his work was commend.

Duffy became ruffled because he called
Abbey safe at home. John gave Hughey
shot about the Bostons going rather
slow, and The fielder went into his garden
saying something perhaps that would
not look good IN print.
In the opening game the Senators were
