CARRICK WAS HIT HARD

chile with pitcher cyrus 1ounS IN lne DoN,
and this was demonstrated yesterday. when
the New Engianders trounced the Senators
quite soundly, the score being II to 3.
The relaxation from the opening game,
with its attendant dscomforts, kept the at
tendance down to about 900. but the dyed
in-the-wool fan was there early and
stayed late. There was little comfort for
the local enthusiasts. as the Bostons got off
we'll in the first inning and were never
headed The game was very much on the
order of the opening contest. with the ex-
ception that the visitors did the hitting yes
terday, while the locals took their turn in
chasing the leather.
Bill Carrick was on the rubber for the
Senators, and the young man demonstrated
that he Is not in good condition. There
are few clubs in the league that can take
liberties with Mr.. Carrick's curves when
he is in proper form. and yesterdays drub-
bing will have to be put in camphor with
Billy Dinneens hammering of the day be-
fore. The batsmen who face these two
pitchers should make hay while the sun
shines, for when they get started the safe
bingies will be few and far between. Car
ricks old college chum, Buck Freeman,
took unusual liberties with the curves, ham
mering out three doubles and single as

Drills Batting.
Another star in the batting line was
Catcher Drill Of the Georgetown club. This
young man has not been professional long
enough to allow Young's reputation to scare
him away from the plate. and result
he placed two singles and home run to
his credit with President Ban Johnson. AS
a result of this hitting Drill drove all OF
the Senator'S three runs over the plate.
The home run was the result of consider
able nerve and confidence Young was
pitching his hardest and Drill landed on an
outcurve and away it sailed over the fence,
but about foot outside the foul line.
Cries of Hard luck were heard on all
sides, and that he could repeat the per-
formance was not thought possible The
next ball delivered went wild and Drill
left it alone. but Young with all his con-
fidence sent fast one directly over the
plate and the Georgetown boy met 1T with
all his strength. This time the sphere

safe territory, and as 1t was seen to be go

yelled like mad. and getting on his feet
gave Drill quite ovation. The other
players on the team were also pleased at
Drills cleverneSs, as he has become a IA
vorite with every one.
Poor Fielding.
From a fielding point of view. the con-
test was unsatisfactory. In the face of the
hard hitting, the Senators fell away from
Carrick, which made matters worse. keis-

naturally thought Carrick or Carey would
take care of it. When he finally set sail
for the ball he was somewhat confused and
dropped the sphere.
Wolverton's Catch.
Harry Wolverton pulled off one of the
prettiest catches seen on a ball field. 1t
was in the third inning. and Hickman hit
the ball about three feet over the third
baseman's head. Harry made good jump
for the ball. caught it with his left hand
and nailed Freeman at second, making a
sensational double play. Another play
which Wolverton was not so successful at
handling came later on when sharp
grounder took an ugly bound, went over his
hands and struck him a resounding whack
in the forehead He staggered for mo-
ment from the blow the ball bounding al
most over TO Coughlin at second base.
The Bostons started off with rush, get
ting two runs In the first inning. Parent
sent a safe one into left. and Stahl singled
into right. Collins tried to sacrifice, but
popped up a fly to Carrick Freeman then
laced his first double to the right-field fence
and Parent and Stahl scored.
In the second another tally went up for
Boston, as Ferris hit for a home run. the
ball going almost to the score board in
deep center.
Washington Scores.
The Senators secured their first tally in

down an additional bag on La Chances
error on Carey's grounder. After Ely had
flied out to La Chance. Drill hit his timely
single into left. Coughlin scoring. Carey
thought the ball would be thrown home and
started for third but Young intercepted
the sphere and shut off the former between
second and third.
The BoStoneSe set off some fireworks In
the fifth, Young starting with a double to
right. Parents single followed and later on
Collins hit over the left-feld fence for
home run. and Freeman again doubled.
AS a result three runs were tailed. In this
inning Drill and Ely gave a clever exhib-
ton of throwing. Hickman had reached
first on the catcher's dropped fly. Freeman
taking third Hickman started for second
on the first pitched ball and on the throw
down Freeman set sail for home. Buck
made good time. but the ball was quicker
and he was tagged as he slid for the home
plate.
In the seventh inning both sides did some
scoring, the Senators getting their last two
tallies, while the Bostons chalked up four.
After Carey had flied out, Ely was passed
to first on balls. 1t was then that Drill got
in his splendid hit for home run. Four
singles to all corners of the lot by Collins.

with keister's misjudged fly. did the trick
In the eighth inning Boston scored anoth-

at the bat not being required. Stahl hit
into left for a double but he was run down
