The Senators played another good game in
Boston yesterday, defeating the Collinsites
by the score of 5 to 4.
Wyatt Lee doubtless concluded that it
was about time for him to demonstrate that
he is not a back number in the pitching
class, and, as result of this decision, held
the Bostons down to six hits. Lee was very
effective against the Bostons last season
and yesterday was good time and place
for him to start off with his good work.
Jimmy Collins was the only man to get
more than one hit, the Boston leader get
ting two singles, and Buck Freeman
slammed out home run. The other three
hits were scattered throughout the nine in
nings.
Ex-senator Billy Dinneen was on the rub
Der for the Bostons and he was touched
up rather lively, eleven safe hits for a total
of fifteen bases being the sum total of the
Senator's work, with their bats. Dinneen
pitched only one or two winners so far,
but he will come with the warm
weather, and hits made now off his delivery
are just so much to the good.
Perfect Fielding.

and neither pitcher could complain of poor
support. There was not misplay recorded
by either side, which speaks volumes for
the ability of the two teams. as a stiff
northwest wind was blowing over the field
and fly balls were had to Judge.
Billy Coughlin could not be kept out OF
the game, although his hands are in bad
shape, and the Scranton boy demonstrated
his usefulness by taking care Of his four
chances in clever manner and got in two
hits that were timely and brought runs over
the plate. Another player who has been
