Fast Playing Marked the Chief
Games Yesterday.

One of the best games that has been
seen in this season thus far this season
was that in which the Young Bostons de-
feated the Crescents yesterday by a score
of to 9. 1t was fast playing from start
to finish. The Crescents proved the hard
est hitters of the two teams, and while
Swine pitched good ball for ordinary oc-
casions he was hit very often and very
hard. O'Brien held Swine hard and
played a good all around game. Mannion
and Kelly made a strong combination for
a battery on the Crescents team, and they
did almost t~wo-thirds of the work, as the
fielding on the Crescents' part was often
were costly.
The Bostons opened up with one score
in the first inning. Kennedy got home
on an error by Kelly, and Egan was
thrown out at third. The Crescents had
a hard time getting on to Swine. He
retired two of them and a bunch of err
rors in the field permitted two more to
reach home in safety. The Bostons got
in on Mannion and hit him pretty we'll
for a time. They scored twice in the
while they shut the Crescents out in three
innings. Then came a reverse to both
pitchers. Mannion, who was a little weak,
grew strong and Swine, who was strong,
grew weak. The Crescents hit the latter
hard and though the Bostons did not
make an error in the rest of the game,
they were defeated. The score
