National League Clubs Standing.

Willie Carrick once more pitched the
Washington club to victory yesterday at
Boston. the beaneaters being defeated by
) to .. The ex-New Yorker has pitched
five games SO far this season, four of
which have been victories. and his value to
the club cannot be computed. Outside of
Carrick's ability as twirler is his willing
ness to work whenever possible, and too
much praise cannot be given him for his
interest In the club. Other noticeable
work in yesterdays game was that of
Grady DUNCAN and Farrell. who batted
for keeps, hitting the ball when bingles
meant runs and fielding their positions
without flaws.
Left-hander Kellum was on the rubber
for Boston, and this time he failed to
bother the Washington lads Eleven hits
for total of eighteen bases Is quite
record for the Senators, as they owe Presi-
dent Ban johnson many base hits on the
seasons record. Against this total Boston
had six hits for a total of nine, and they
were all scattered through the nine in
ningS.
The fielding of the Senators was also
superior to that Of the Bostonese, but one
misplay creeping into the formers score
while four errors were chalked up against
the latter. The injury to Chick Stahl
has doubtless handicapped the beaneaters.
AS Jones In center is not in the same class
with the Shlfty eX-leaguer.
Once more the weather was bad and hurt
the attendance rain falling in the morning
and making the new grounds almost unfit
for use. By dlligent of brooms the
puddles of water were swept away from
the Outfeld and plentiful supply of saw
dust did the rest. Notwithstanding the
lowering, gloomy day fully 5000 spectators
passed through the turnstiles. but their
feelings corresponded with the day as they
were given little opportunity to cheer on
their favorites.
Both teams started off well In the matter
of keeping their opponents from scoring,
neither side getting a run over the plate In
the first two innings. In the third inning
Boston cut in for one run and the home
crowd naturally felt jubilant The fatal
base on balls was responsible for the tally.
1t was Carrick's only gift, but 1t proved
as good as home run. Dowd was the
recipient and landed on first, and straight
way made break for second, stealing
there ahead Of Grady's good throw. Hemp
hills long fly and out sent him to third
and Jones' single through the infield per-
mitted Dowd to score.
Three more blanks followed for Boston,
but only two for Washington. as in the
sixth they scored two runs and went to
the front. Grady began the trouble with a
triple and Carrick followed with a double,
scoring Michael. Farrell's scratch single
sent Carrick to third and he came on
Ferris error on Everett's drive.
Both teams scored in the next inning
one run being chalked up for each. Jimmy
Collins slipped into the error column on
Coughln's ugly drive and Grady scored
the latter with a fine drive into deep CEN
ter This placed the score to l, and the
Bostons We're called upon to wake up.
This they did, but only for one run, and
then died out altogether. Ferris drove a
triple into right, and Creger's long fly
and out crossed the plate.
In the eighth Washington tailed two
more runs, a sort of precaution against ac-
cidents but they were not needed. Far
rell came to the front with a triple and
touched the home plate on Fosters single
DUNCAN and Quinn followed with hits
which scored the new Senator, making the
total : to in Washngtons favor, as the
ninth proved blanks for both teams. Fol-
lowing Is the score:
