Bostons Continue to Win

Brooklyn, Sept. 29-The Bostons and Brooklyns began series of three games at Eastern park this afternoon, on which much depends for both teams. Winning all the games will give the Bostons the championship. no matter what Baltimore does. "A majority of the games for Brooklyn means a cinch on the only place still left in the first division-sixth.
 nhe management had arranged to handle a large crowd, but the cranks failed to materialize and when the game began only $500 persons were present. It was Kennedy against Lewis, and for six innings it was nip and tuck, Lewis having shade the better of the argu- ment. In the seventh inning Kennedy took a ride in the "airsllip," and before he came back to earth the Beaneaters had hit. him for one three-bagger, four singles and sacrifice. which brought in four runs. This was more than Capt. Griffin would stand, and soon he called on Payne in the eighth inning. He looked like Kennsdy to the Bostons, and three more runs was the result, thus clinciling the victory.
 After the third inning Lewis had the home team completely at his mercy. The support given the youngster bor- dered on the phenomenal, Duffy taking a ball off the left field fence, and was loudly cheered, for it was a grand piece of work. Stahl caught Scherers foul fly from off the top of tha picket fence in the sixth. Long and Lowe seemed to be all over the field. The Boston rooters had a section all to themselves in the grandstand. There were not over seventy-flve of them, but what they lacked in numbers they made up in en- thusiasm. The game was called at the end of the eighth inning on account of darkness. Attendance, 3.757.
