Gals with his innocent looking twists and
shoots. Dinneen pitched for the Wash

hits secured of the home twirler, while
only half that number was obtained of
Hickman. The visitors played perfectly
in the field and not an error appeared
against them in the score. On the other
hand, the Senators were guilty of three
misplays, two of them proving costly.
Mcclure was the only member of the

sgmas TO any advantage. He secured two
hits. one of them being home run TO the
right field seats. For the Bostons Ten

himself with honor. He gave one base on
balls. but not a hit was secured OFF of his
delivery by the visitors. He made one ap-
pearance at the bat and bowed his ac-
Acknowledgement of the ovation he received
by Knocking a neat single Like all anna
tenrs, Herring showed slight signs of ner-
vousness when for the first time he pitched
10 some of the heaviest hitters in the
League, but it was apparent that he has in
him the making of good bail player, and
Win little experience he will prove

The champions scores were the result OF
Hickman's three-bagger. singles by Ten

Dinneen became discouraged and sent
them over the plate in a haphazard way.
