LEAGUE.
Boston :. Tashington. 2


Yes the Senators passed up the last
chance Of an even break with the Bean
eaters 1t wasn't their fault either Kel-
lum was on the rubber for the visitors and
his curves were complete enigmas for the
opposing batsmen. Four hits was the net
result Of the work Of the Washington
sticksmen. And these four hits We're
home run, two triples, and a double. How
ever II was no use. The Senators got
strong at the bat when there was no one
on bases.
Carrick was on the rubber and his show
ing was not as good as it has been before
this season. The Beaneaters long ago put
up a claim as timely sluggers and they
certainly sustained the claim yesterday.
When necessary they tied two or three
hits in neat little bundle and while the
Washington ielders were very busy with
the elusive spheroid they sent base run
ners across the plate.
Washington was the first to score yes
terday and at the outset it looked as
though the Senator's would be the vic
ingtors The Beaneaters were blanked in
the first after they had two men on
bases A neat double play cut Hemphili
of at the plate ana retired Collins at
first.
Farrell opened things In lovely fashion
for the locals. Three bags he earned by
a welI-placed left field hit. Grady knew
just what TO do. He hit a long fly 10
the field. He went out himself, but Far
reil crossed the plate after the catch was
made OBrien struck out and DUNCAN
few out to left. Freeman got a hit in
Boston half Of the second, but the three
following batters failed 10 reach first. In
Washineton's batting turn of the second,
third, and fourth the principal feature Of
the play was the snappy way in which
they We're retired in one-tWo-three order
1t was IN the third that the Bean
eaters tied the score. kelun made the
first out on a long fy. Dowd, Tommy"
who used to gallop around the bases at
Georgetown, then slugged a choice bender
from Carricks right so hard that he had
plenty OF time 10 reach the third cushion
Hemphill went out at first. Stahl hit and
DcWd scored and Collins and the side were
retired at first. IN the fourth two more
were added TO the Boston total. Freeman
walked. advancing to second on a single
by Parent. Seth took another base when
Ferris went out at first. Freeman scored
on Crieger's fy-out TO centre and Parent
on an error Of COUghlin in handling a
grounder from the bat Of Kellum Car
rick then put stop 70 matters by strik-
ing out Dowd.
Both sides made doubles in the fifth
Hemphill hit for Boston, and Stahl few
a
HemphilI was retired at second by Cling
man, and the batter at first by Grady.
When Washington came 10 bat Quinn
made the first out Clingman made a
two-sacker and il looked as though
something might wake up in the scoring
department. Coughlin was hit by a
pitched ball Clarke sent a hot grass
cutter to Ferris, who sent the BAH To
Parent. shutting off Coughlin at second
and Clarke at first.
Freeman walked to first IN the sixth
and scored later on a timely single by
Ferris. The Senators also obtained e run
in this inning and by q practical repeti-
tion Of the methods which brought in
their only other score. Carrick raped
out cracking good single Grady came
10 the plate and hit a long fly, just as he
had in the first. IL was caught, but Car
rick had plenty Of time 10 score The
seventh passed without scoring or particu-
lar incident for either team. save that
o Brien made a splendid running catch
Of Collins long fly, which looked good for
a hit
Not a bit nor run in the eighth. But
IN the ninth the Bostonians scored a trio
OF runs, which made the score a lucky
seven. kellum started out in a common
place manner enough by getting out at

a liner into night field. il got past Dun
