About 1000 base ball enthusiast

About 1000 base ball enthusiasts,
wrapped UP in their warmest togs, gathered
at the American League grounds in Boston
Saturday to see just sixty-f1ve minutes of
fast ball between the Beaneaters and Sem
ators. The Boston team won by a score
Of to 1 in a game where Al Orth ex-
changed courtesies with Cy Young.
The game was the shortest ever played
in the American League; and was one Of
the lveliest ever played in any league.
The pitchers were dead on to the mark.
Not a base on balls was given. and there
was only one strike-out, and that credited
to Young.
Boston won by good stickwork, Stahl,
Collins and Freeman taking the honors.
In the field Collins, Parent, Ferris and
Lachance were "Johnnies on the spot" the
big first baseman doing fine days work,
as eighteen putouts will partially testify.
The Senators played grand, good ball,
Coughlfn and Jimmie Ryan carrying off the
prize buns. while big Del in the left
garden was always in the right place to
put Ice on all the hot drives to his corner
Of the lot.
There was dash and finish about the
game that kept the spectators on edge and
made them forget all about the chilly west
erly breeze that whistled across the field
and often sent cloud Of dust after the
players.
The only mistakes made in the game were
tumble by Orth and a high throw by
Ferris after making a fine stop.
Scratch Two-Bagger.
In the first inning Captain Collins got in
a scratch double. He was the only player
to reach base In the first two innings.
After turning the hose on the visitors in
the third Boston won the game. With one
out Ortiz fumbled Young's grounder Par
ent flied out to short Stahl singled Orth
tried to get Collins to nibble at a wide one,
but Sir James smiled as it passed by. Orth
is tricky, and Collins was in dead earnest
and was after one over the rubber The
third was to his liking and he swung his
drive" free from the shoulder. and the
ball went flying down right center Like a
lark skimming over salt meadow. Ryan
managed to head off the ball in time to
hold Collins at second, but Young and
Stahl had punctured the home plate and
the crowd let loose round of applause.
Carey started a little trouble in the fifth
by burning a double to right, and scored
on Ely's out at first and Drills fly to Free
man. Collins took Orth's fly close to the
stand. Cy Young started out for Boston
with single and was placed on second by
Parent, but Collins and Stahl flied out.
With one out in the sixth Keister singled,
then came two force-outs
Time for Rally.
The seventh inning Is looked on in base
ball as the time for a rally. Coughlin hit a
grounder that Ferris got we'll toward sec
ond and threw hard to first, the ball hitting
Lachance's NIT after a jump. Carey put
his man on second, and hit would tie the
score. Ely flied out to right and Collins
made pretty assist to first
With one out Criger, for Boston hit for
two bases and was then caught on Young's
hit to Orth.
Boston scored their third run in the
eighth. Stahl opened with a single, and
went to second on Collins sacrifice and
home on Freeman's single that Ryan
danced home in fine style, but too late
The visitors went out in order in the last
two innings. In the ninth Collins made a
great stop off Wolverton and threw high
and close to the runner. Lachance made
a great catch. Delehanty flied out to Fer
ris and Parent took good care to handle
Coughlins grounder to Lachance.
The crowd was big one considering the
unfayorable weather, and would no doubt
have been twice the number with anything
like a fair day. The game was a beauty.
The score:
