Boston, Mass, Aug. 17.-Just as the
BenatoTs were packing their bat bags this
afternoon the flippant Tommy Tucker let
out one of those famous war whoaps OF
his when Bobby Lowe made fatal blum
der, witch resulted in Sullivan losing his
bearings, and the men from the Capital
won out in one of those celebrated Boston
finishes. The Beaneaters are sore lot 10
night. The game looked like a cinch for
Duffy's men in ne ninth after two Wash
fngton men were gone and third Of tie
rooters had left the grounds, telling their
friends that Boston had won the second
game In a walk. For eight long innings
Washington wandered hopelessly. They
began the game like winners and finished
as such. II was game ending against long
odds, and surely the Senator's deserve great
credit for winning from the leaders
j. Eerl Wagner, who saw the contest
from the pavilion, was all smiles us he
bolnobbed with President Soden and Di-
rectoTs Billings and Conant after the game.
When his team went in for the lass turn
he started 10 move toward the gate, but
when the bases were filled he sat down
once more with q look OF contentm-nt as
victory drew near. 1T tseemedimpossible,
said ne, but you can't tell what may
happen, and I have been looking for this
kind OF q finish all along"
The gianUlike form of Hillary Swain in
the boz today was amusing to Bostonians
The tall lanky pitcher was hit ha rd, and
was taken from the box in the eighth
inning, being supplanted by Mercer, who
was touched up rather lively after two
hands were out, but by magnificent stop
Of o'Brien's tie side was retired.
The real credit of victory belongs TO
Charley Farrell. Tie Duke" is a great
favorite here, and when he ca me TO the bat
IN the ninth inning some of his Marlboro
friends called ON him for a home run.
Charley had been hitting Sullivan hard
all the afternoon. The bases were full
as be approached the plate. He caught one
of Sullivan's slow ones, planting it down
IN center field for two bases, and three
men crossed the plate. Tucker followed
with q single, which sent Farrell across
with tie fourth run OF the inning. There
were about 5000 enthusiasts at the game
and ere the Wasbingtons had begun tie
ninth half OF these had left the groands,
and when the boards announced the score
later the Suburban followers could scarcely =
believe their eyes.
Only one game here this season has ended
with such d brilliant finish, and that was
with Baltimore On the first trip, when
First Baseman Tenney figured SO promi-
nently. There was plenty Of encourage
hent given the Washington players as they
left the grounds, and Duke Farrell was sur
rounded by host of MarlboToites, who
m6de known their devotion for the ca atcher
Jimmy Sullivan was drawn to pitch, end
after his memorable twelve inning game in
New York, he was picked to win. Washing
ton went after him from the start After
Selbach went out to right, Tom Brown
drew q base single followed by De
Montreville, and Farrell scored both run
ners with a smashing three bagger to deeD
center. Farrell was left, as the next two
betters were easy.
The Bostons scored one run in the first

With two men out in the first half of the
third, Farrell was safe on Collins wild

tempting to steal second drew throw

In The fourth and fifth innings Wash
ingtOn was shutout. Lowe opened Boston's
fourth with single. An error of Abbey
placed himca second, from whence he scored
on Hamilton's single after two men were
